Music prodigy infamous rymes1/5/2023 N***as is gonna tell you if the s**t is wack. I mean, you in the hood, you know what I’m sayin’? And you sayin these rhymes. Havoc: I mean lyrics, words, you know what I’m sayin’, it’s important how you put your rhymes whateva. I was like, “Nah, that’s not going down.” Hav need to go solo.” Nahmean? And then maybe like a week, few weeks later, we started makin’ these songs right here, “Survival of the Fittest.” And that’s why I was writin’ like that. A lot of n***as was like, “That n***a P weak. I remember when I first came around, you nahmean they took me around the whole projects to battle everybody. Prodigy: Yo, we was dead serious about that. Ya know, lyricism becomes just like a piece of like a hundred part puzzle as opposed to when you first start and your rhymes is all you’ve got. Prodigy: Basically, we was just painting a picture of what was going on in QB, know what I’m sayin’?Ī: So as MC’s at that time though, how important were your words to you? ‘Cause I think the deeper you get in the game, more aspects come into it. Ī: What did you want people to get from it? I mean was it just like a n***a writin’ rhymes? No man is safe.” Like, what was going on? There was a war? You gonna start the record with, “It’s a war going on outside. Prodigy: I mean eighteen, nineteen, around there.Ī: I mean, y’all are sayin some s**t though. Bet?Ī: So tell me where y’all were at, you know, mentally when you did that record? If you can take it back there?Ī: “Spark the lye!” Heavily sedated?Ī: So you all were what nineteen?Ī: Nineteen when you all did that record? I want you to just listen to this record and then we can talk about it. Ya know ya’ll may perform your records but you don’t really get to listen to your records that you’ve done in a minute.Ī: So I want you to take a second, sit back cause you said you had a long morning. I recently met up with Prodigy and Havoc and got a chance to cruise back in time and discuss where their heads were when they penned some of their most classic records to date, "Survival of the Fittest," "Quiet Storm," and "Shook Ones Part Two." We also uncovered their thoughts on those records continued significance, their new album, if lyrics still matter and if they’re still the live n****s who rap.Ī: Aight, now, I know a lot of rappers never get to like, listen to their songs. Although they have over 10 years in the game, their new connection with 50 Cent’s G-Unit label has die-hard fans questioning if Queensbridge’s favorite duo will leave lyricism and a celebrated past in favor of catchy hooks for future fame. Speaking candidly about their surroundings and experiences as young Black men in New York’s crack-ridden streets of the 80’s and early 90’s, they quickly emerged as some of the most skilled emcees in the Rotten Apple. With their second album, The Infamous (1995), they solidified themselves as lyrical legends. Known for dark beats and sinister rhymes, Mobb Deep is no stranger to the game. With everyone talking about bringing New York back, we continue “Rewind the Rhyme” with some cats that know a thing or two about being on top when it comes to rhyme skills.
