What Ls did Prodigy take from 94-99?
And what does his fall-off have to do with us judging him in his prime?

Lets see...from 94-99 he got shytted on by Pac, had his ass whooped by Keith Murray and got his chain snatched. That's not including the Ls he took in 01 (Nas, Jay). P was one of the best in the game than the Infamy album came out and he hasn't been right since except for a select few moments. I mean this was the same nikka who said he'll stab your brain with your nose bone tongue kissing chicks in videos featuring 112
Pac dissed him lightweight - P dissed him back. Exactly what happened with Keith Murray wasn't clear in the time frame. Plus P dissed him on record.Lets see...from 94-99 he got shytted on by Pac, had his ass whooped by Keith Murray and got his chain snatched. That's not including the Ls he took in 01 (Nas, Jay).

Neither of these incidents really scuffed P up.
He did get his chain snatched by Lake/Worm at the Murda Muzik release party - but that is just outside my window for his prime (the fall off was evident on the tacked on songs) - nonetheless - that wasn't common knowledge in 99. The the Ls started to pile on.

I wouldn't say that Pac diss was lightweight I mean he did talk about the nikka's medical condition. If anything Drop A Gem On EM was lightweight since it was subliminal. The Def Squad diss was subliminal too. Don't get me wrong I love the Mobb but P talked the talk a lot but didn't always walk the walk

Ice Cube hands down. Close thread.
Yeah - the sickle cell thing was a big deal at the time - but it didn't really do any damage to the Mobb. They turned around and dropped a classic later that year.
I think you are conflating how P is viewed now, with how he was viewed then. He was not considered a walking L machine in the 90s. The Mobb had a wild crew back then and they were known for wilding out at industry functions.
They had Gangstarr levels of integrity back in the 90s.

It'd probably be Snoop or Biggie.
They really ran shyt when they were in their prime.

Ghostface: 36 chambers through supreme clientele was godly.
The 90's was the last time Hip Hop even was ever a respectable culture.
And Mobb Depp had the best albums back then so....

The pics he painted was just
And he still got it:naswon:
Nas no doubt. No need to talk about what he did on Illmatic and IWW....he was an alien...
Besides that he was also killing features...he's had the best featured verses in my opinion.
Snoop, Pac and Big had the best primes too, they were rap superstars.

This pic is sope
P circa The Infamous, Hell On Earth and Murda Muzik, along with his guest verses was unfukwittable
One of the most compelling MCs to ever touch the mic.
