sean price is about as old and boring as prodigy probably. he's awesome too! old boring dudes are the new hot exciting dudes.

yeah all these crusty old NYC dudes dropping good records really give lie to the theory that Jay's age was the problem with Kingdom Come.

its not just oldsters from NY, really
Big Mike's album, twista's gotta be in his late 30s now, even Scarface rap-a-lot cut-n-paste albums are good now

hype datapoint: I got this album after reading a New York Times review of it, so I'm crying no tears for Prodigy.

true, true, i was just referring back to the previous mentions of Ballerina P., Styles P. and Sean P.

never got into return of the mac. prodigy sounded fucking comatose on it i thought, and really lacking in inspiration. yeah its consistent, which is something in itself for them/hip hop these days, but its just so so.

prodigy's always been real laconic and dead sounding
― M@tt He1ges0n, Monday, 10 December 2007 20:23 (sixteen years ago) link
his voice is great. super-stoned
― am0n, Monday, 10 December 2007 20:50 (sixteen years ago) link
"prodigy's always been real laconic and dead sounding"
but on return of the mac he sounds like hes vocalling the tracks from a hospital bed. i listened to the infamous just to make sure he wasnt always like that and well, he wasnt.
― titchyschneiderMk2, Monday, 10 December 2007 20:53 (sixteen years ago) link
Neither of these new tracks are as good as "Mac 10 Handle" - but neither was anything off that album, either. (or any other song released in the last year and a half)
Needs a propulsive beat to match the deathbed flow, yeah.

so it says Prodigy is serving jail time for his most recent firearms offense, his third.
anybody know anything about the first two?
― Bo Jackson Overdrive, Saturday, 19 January 2008 16:03 (sixteen years ago) link
Nope. But HNIC 2 has leaked, and it's a fine thing. So far I prefer it to Return of the Mac, which I also liked. OK look - it's Prodigy, you know what to expect. But he's a good judge of beats, and this is no exception.

For a second I thought this was going to be a thread in which Liam Howlett reinterprets the Mark Morrison classic.
I think this every time this thread shows up in New Answers. I am always disappointed to realize I am wrong, although I have nothing against this other Prodigy and their/her/his song/album/thing.

Got Prodigy's 'as told to' autobiography to read on my plane home. Other than the clumsy narration (ideas repeated multiple times in same paragraph, characters reintroduced unnecessarily, etc), it's pretty interesting.
Some of it obviously seems "tall tale"-ish but Prodigy seems like he was an extreme dickhole in his youth. Conveniently, in the timeline, he skipped from 1987 to 1989 (I wanted to hear him explain the ballerina pic -- he keeps bitching about how he hated that kind of dancing in this book). I have a feeling it'll come up when he gets to 2001.

book = Prodigy trying really hard to insist he was a ruffian growing up. not that I don't believe it, but despite his best attempts, you can tell being painted as phony by Jay-Z really put a chip on his shoulder.
He also claims that a friend connected with Tupac stated that Tupac knew who shot him in the studio, and only blamed Biggie/Puffy in the press because he felt the controversy would help his sales.

so weird that "Veterans Memorial Part 2" off of H.N.I.C. II essentially IS dude's book in 3 minute form. Most of the major stories he tells are touched on in it.
