RIP Prodigy but he should’ve never went at JayZ

[Redwood]

Something always got in the way of him getting ready to kick some static.

Read his book. P got so many stories about getting ready to get active but he had to go to work and shyt.

I think it was one time he wanted to shoot someone but he seen his shoe was untied

Gotta give credit where it's due - Jay was up against three elite rappers on three separate fronts: Nas, Prodigy, and DMX (and by extension Ruff Ryders). If the roles were reversed, I’m not sure any of them could’ve managed that beef as well as Jay did.

Nas and P pretty much refused to engage with Beans when he aired them out in his freestyles.

Remember on Hot 97 where Jay had all of State Property freestyling on Funk Flex????


P said in his book that he had heard the freestyle when Beans sent that jab at the Mobb, that they was trying to come retaliate with their own crew freestyle but somehow Flex couldn’t let them up because they didn’t wanna start any beef.

Yeah right, Flex and Angie were notorious for glazing Jay.


I’m glad that Nas aired em out about that.

PAC’s word was law back then


He was a bigger dog than Jay back then.

And he got put down like a dog in the street

Exactly P was on street Shyt with his beef with Jay.

It was deeper than rap

The Mobb was notorious for running with some crazy cats….

Someone would have beat Jay up or did him dirty.


Luckily for Jay, he had bigger issues than a beef with P.


Remember Jigga was on probation so he couldn’t get into any trouble due to the Un issue.



It was wise for him to retreat. He already took a L to Nas. Getting beat up by P, would have stung.

Even after his death, his word was law…


Juvenile said that they wasn’t messing with Jay because Pac said so

Yeah but The Realness sold 100 thousand records INDEPENDENTLY. That was unheard of for a NY rapper. The independent hustle was normally a west coast/down south thing. Dudes used to have to take they music to NY to get a deal.

So Cormega was very successful even though he wasn’t as mainstream and he still had respect in the streets. I think after Mega fell out with the Firm. Nas didn’t want Mega to make it in the industry tbh. When Mega made it without the machine that was a big diss to Nas and the industry. The Realness one of my favorite albums.

I saw that in his DVD.


Mega had a couple Nas CDs in his collection as well.

Dude was cool with Tha Jacka


The Realness and The True Meaning were good. For some reason, I played them back during the 2010s.


Mega will always be the MVP of QB

P said in an interview with Combat Jack that he wasn’t trying to be ill with the bars and that he was basically threatening that he would kill Jay if he see him….

Jay didn’t want that smoke.

Wait but I thought P was trying to see them in the streets and not rap. Yet he's wanting to go retaliate in a freestyle. Just admit ya boy got hurt by the beef and spiraled out of control as an MC with wack replies.

Takeover was a××, bait song...

Adding that Nas diss didn’t help…


Ether’s quotables>>>Takeovers


Calling Nas a faq model for Karl Kami didn’t age well along with Nas having a hot album every 10 year average(Nastradamus and I AM still sold more copies than Vol 3)


Nas was more unintentionally funny.


Jay biting Biggie while giving Camel cigarettes promos


He propped Beans which was a reverse Uno to Jay’s line about oochie Wally’s bodyguard having a better verse than him


Eminem did murder Jay on his own album


Dame Diddy or Dame Dummy… Dame was always in the videos and still is

He said it in his book, I’m just paraphrasing from the interviews and book..

aint p say that jay seen the mobb at a club or some shyt during the beef

i forgot the interview

Why didn't they? How can it be on some street shyt if all he did was talk about it in interviews and a bunch of diss songs? Jay or his people were as Bassline all the time back then. He didn't know where Def Jam offices were?


That Put On verse from Jay was corny and wack.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

They was taking jabs at each other all throughout the 90s. It became public after Jayz made “Money Cash Hos”. If you listen on The Infamous which was in 1995 on the song “Trife Life”. Prodigy rapped about going to see a girl in Marcy Project and it being setup.

Jays replied in 1997 on Where I’m from. “You and your man hung out in your verse in your rhymes”. They always poked at each other it didn’t become official until the Source magazine. You had to been really listening to the music to catch the subliminals.

This seems like a reach tbh

He had a hard on for Jay. In that same book he told a story about how he and Fat Joe initially bonded after he heard Joe screaming at the top of his lungs in the Loud Records hallway over the "Money, Cash, Hoes" line, which prompted P to go out and engage Joe in conversation.

But the unreleased diss verse aimed at Jay on M.O.P.'s "Ante Up (Remix)" and his October 2000 Source magazine interview, where he openly slandered Jay, were the final provocations that resulted in all-out war from Jay and his camp.

The conflict was a case example of how it's just better to mind your business and not provoke someone who doesn't have you on their radar, because P never bounced back from how Jay spanked him.

The Infamous came out in 1995 a classic before RD you don’t think Jay-Z heard that album? Don’t forget them wearing football jerseys drinking Henny in the video. Memphis Bleek and them copied later. That was NYC rap during the 90s it was crew vs crew type thing. And it’s crazy for people think Jayz would’ve been a nobody if BIG or PAC didn’t die. The year of 96 the year The Nutty Professor Seth. Ain’t no nikka and Case feat Foxy Brown was 2 of the biggest songs that year. I remember how when Ain’t No nikka would come on how the chicks would grab you and pull you to the floor.
