Will always be remembered for arguably the greatest hip hop song ever and one of the best hip hop albums ever.

Prodigy, H A V O C, M O B B. Loved his grimey flow and those beats. I haven't listened to them in a while, because they're just too hardcore. That was a different time of my life. No doubt that he deserves his props. He produced a lot of classic tracks. Naggers know he was always the HNIC.

I was about to say "WHAT?? They've been around this whole time servicing broadband deadspots out in the hinterlands? Incredible!"

I'm kinda disappointed. Prodigy was the first time I'd ever even heard of "online." It used to blink this big "NEW MAIL" sign in the upper right corner (with no voice-over ala AOL) that was just SOOOO exciting. Good times.

I was a big MOBB fan, and that album dropped my sophomore year. At parties someone would always ask me who it was. One of the most underrated groups of my time.

I woke up with Drop A Gem On Em stuck in my head, so I listened to Mobb Deep all morning long. It was the first time in a while I had listened to them. Then I get on the tweeting twatters last night and see that Prodigy had passed. I figured he would not live too long given his struggles with severe sickle cell. Still sucks to see this.

RIP Prodigy.

"When I was pushing weight, back in '88

You was a ballerina, I got the pictures I seen ya

Then you dropped "Shook Ones," switched your demeanor

Well, we don't believe you, you need more people."

...you guys don't want it with HOV

Ask Nas, he don't want it with HOV...NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

That verse of career ending magic cannot take away that The Infamous was a GREAT album.

A++ as Harbaugh would say and a staple of true east coast rap behind illmatic, Reasonable Doubt, Ready To Die, Life After Death, and Enter The Wu.
