[illmaticQB94]

4:00 damn littles looks young as fuck! and 3:58, man twins looks young as fuck too with that oldschool hair cut. its hard to say whether thats gambino or scarface, considering they were twins, and scarface was still alive at the time.

ps.1:04 is that noyd behind p in the cap and blue and striped polo?

[jimmy3743]

Everyone should check out P's new book, My Infamous Life. Just got it yesterday and I'm almost done already. It gives you a lot of insight about Mobb and taught me a lot. I wonder which of these kids is Little Lord?

[cisco1980]

@jimmy3743 me too..book is crazy

[RDoubt96]

@jimmy3743 me too. And I was shocked that Kenny in the video is the infamous Killa B.

[TheWuCepticon81]

Wow this is kind of a positive track. It's real. It's a hot joint. Mobb Deep need to get back to that. Most people in the stuggle can relate. Not everyone can relate to killin' people and sellin' crack.

92% of teenagers have turned to New school and Pop.If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music,copy and paste this message to another 5 videos. Dont let the real HipHop die!

[itzillmatic]

@Haeter2 New school officially started around 1984 with Run DMC's first release, so almost all recorded Hip Hop albums count as new school albums.

[Haeter2]

@itzillmatic pffft yeah but you know what i meant, and new school nowadays is usually referred to the 2000s onwards

[Cookie17656]

and now u get shit like mainstream shit

[ShadowAgentFox]

[Knocc0ut14]

@ShadowAgentFox Prodigy Has Siccle Cell

[PLOttawa]

When I bought this album, I almost wanted to ask the CD vendor who only had one copy of it, "Are you sure you want to part with this? Do you realize what you're losing?"

[RelaxednCaIm]

@MultiMaRaZ

[simonbrooks101]

The hoodies and that big machete thing reminds me of the old wu tang style.

[subzyro5]

this shit is rare.

[barlog20]

This is the Style Mobb Deep started with,I wonder what made them change?Did the record labels put pressure on them to change their style to a "imma big bad thug" style?I`m sure their first album flopping had alot to do with the change.Basically they sold out but i have to admit;that thug style they adopted is far more entertaining then this.

[NotoriousBIG1997]

@barlog20 Don't worry, p is gonna lift Mobb deep back up. Havoc is gonna fucking colab with p, and they are gonna make some cold ass tracks again.. I hope so

[MoJoThundRpants]

People said Tupac was the first rapper be be tatted up...Fuck no. Prodigy was tatted up way ahead his time.

[IITruProductionz]

They wasn't no 19. This was damn 2 n a half years before The Infamous even dropped. I'd say 16 or 17 more like it.

[xnomek]

19 years? I think they said on Infamous, that they were 19 on it, and that was -95.

[graveey]

P looks so young, fuck!

[JASOFLY32]

[jaysua]

in this song prodigy says his parents put him on the right path in life but in quiet storm he said his father taught him how to shoot when he was seven lol. hipocrite

[spillingbeans]

P's "environment makes is so impossible" so uhh his parents may have said the right path but never could. plus P's dad got arrested when he was 8 so i dont doubt his whole lifes been nothing but street

[999blackpearl]

his life has changed..BELIEVE ME.Hes well conscious now.

[chrisbrownluva3]

Backk When Shitt Made Sense!!!

[jgeesing]

brilliant

[RealHipHopTunes]

dang p mad bald

[JLjuju]

Look at lil P, haha great shit

[soundsfromnothing]

The rapping here was real simple. This was at the time though, when East Coast rappers were trying to sound like the west to sell records (kinda like how Apache sounded on "Gangsta Bitch)."

[iancurtis86]

That single was prod. by Q-Tip... you think ATCQ sounded West Coast?

[soundsfromnothing]

It was more the way they were rhyming & flowing. Not so much the production. I wasn't big into the W. Coast gangsta sound, because the rhyming was pretty simple. It was more about swagger & drawling out words, than actual rhyming. I started getting away from rap for a few years around that time, because of it. The production was good, no complaints there.

[soundsfromnothing]

*The way Mobb Deep was rhyming & flowing.

[iancurtis86]

I see your point, but I don´t think they were rapping that way to "sell like the West Coast niggas"; it was just a way of rapping very common in those times. Anyway, that style fastly disappeared with the releases from the Wu or Nas, or even Mobb Deep themselves, with long and complex lyrics

[soundsfromnothing]

Yeah, I'm not sure what Mobb Deep's reason for rhyming that way was. Like you said, it may just be the influence that the West had (a lot of those dudes looked up to Snoop & Cube). I'm glad that Wu & Nas came along though. It's funny now, cause Hip Hop is in a similar position. I mean, for me, it started going downhill again around '96, when MCs started doing 4 or f5 bars the same way, and using real studio-pop type production.. Then, in the early 2000's, rappers started putting out nothing but

[soundsfromnothing]

Dance/ club-pop type of garbage or just cheesy songs. (remember Cam'ron's "Oh Boy," or NORE's "Nothin"-even though that song had that cool E. Indian sound that was going on, the production was still kind of poppy and the rhyming stunk). Then you got Clipse's "Whens the last time," and

[soundsfromnothing]

that type stuff. The last 4/5 years, the E. Coast has been absorbing crunk/snap styles into their music. They've essentially done the same thing they were doing back in late '91- early '94. That's why hip hop sounds as horrible as it does now. That's not even counting Lil Wayne, and his garbage, ghost-written rhymes & style.

[iamirshehu]

They're taking LL's style, flipping and bouncing it to fit theirs. He was a big influence on P, and Run-DMC.

[soundsfromnothing]

No, this was definitely in the vain of the west coast gangsta rap (particularly 90-94).

[rhettdec]

west coast gangsta rap? youre clueless.

[soundsfromnothing]

@rhettdec LOL! Where have U been? I'm not the only one that thinks that W. coast rap started influencing the east coast back then. I know you remember "Gangsta Bitch," by Apache. That dude was totally ripping Cube's style on that song. Cube wasn't even that

[soundsfromnothing]

(cont.)

great rhyme wise (& wasn't all that, lyrically, either). Before W. coast gangsta rap took over (right around late '91-'92), the E. coast was still on the G. Rap style, the diggity influence mixed in, & then Naughty came in with their broken-syllable kinda style. That was the last real innovation until Wu Tang came door-breaking in '93 ( & Nas followed).

[TeK9YoUnGbUcK]

Fucking illest in the game right there, word to mother

[RapListener1]
