I been doing this s### for years. Holding heat, selling, using, abusing all kinds of drugs. Robbing n#####, running up in n##### cribs, you know, the whole s###. So don’t ever in your life get me confused with some of them other n##### that you might see on tv, or hear on the radio & such. Know what I’m saying? I mean this is me, P, I’m speaking for my f###### self. When you see me at thew show, on stage, or in the street, I definitely got the gat on me you know what I’m saying? Know what I mean? & it ain’t like I’m trying to be a tough guy, or make people think I’m crazy by saying all this s###… but what is is is that, I know how n##### get down. I used to be in the clubs, The Muse, The Tunnel, whatever the f###. N##### get they little drink on having fun with they little crew, start cutting, shooting or whatever, things like that. A lot of these so called rap n##### aint never seen no parts of that s### you know what I’m saying? You dig where Im coming from? & I know a lot of y’all n#####, matter fact all y’all n##### listening to this s### is like “Yeah, we gon see them Mobb Deep n##### we gon see what they about. You know what I’m saying? Touch them n##### we gon see where they head is at. So yo, I’m gonna let you n##### know right now. You ain’t gotta waste your time, or your money on your hospital bills. & if you step to me on a personal level I don’t back down easy. There’s a good chance your ass either gonna get shot, stabbed, or knuckled down..one out of the three. So don’t gamble with your life duke word up. 8 believe me, I know very well I could get shot, stabbed or f##### up too, whatever. I ain’t “Supernigga, I’m a little skinny m#### f####. It’s all about who gets who first, though you know what I’m saying? So therefore, say no more. To all my n#####, get the money, frontin n##### get deceased. And oh yeah, to all them rap ass n##### with your half assed rhymes talking about how much you get high, how much weed you smoke, & that crazy space s### that don’t even make no sense, don’t ever speak to me when you see me, know what I’m saying? Word. I’ma have to get on some ol’ high school s###, start punching n##### in they faces for living.

Damn…. say it ain’t so… Prodigy was one of my biggest influences and one of the nicest rappers to ever breathe on a track. Really, i’m such a huge fan of P this is heartbreaking. I read his Autobiography last year and it was so inspiring to me… When he reached out to me a while back to show love it was the coolest f###### thing ever. Gone but not forgotten queensbridge royalty 41st side king. R.I.P. ?

Thank you for your contribution to Hip-Hop… You will be missed

It’s way bigger than rap. Thank you P for EVERYTHING …. P always flipped that smile on when he saw Harley. Just last week He was at my party with his daughter and the “a little blood get on my daughter it’s nothing she’ll live” line came on and It was awkwardly funny. the music will live forever. You will be missed P.

A post shared by Dave East (@daveeast) on

I got you stuck off the realness… First time I heard/saw Mobb Deep was the Shook Ones video and I instantly connected bcuz not only did they sound authentic to OUR streets that I was on but they looked like US too. Whether it was shooting videos in the projects wit they n##### holding gallons of Henny or chilling on Housing Projects benches or riding in Acura Legend’s wearing bandana’s, me being a young NYC kid from the Projects at the time they spoke our language & was the REALNESS!! Prodigy’s unorthodox flow & aggressive (without raising his voice) cadence was one of the illest in the game. When he said “rock you in ya face, stab ya brain wit ya nose bone” you felt it!! I got so many memories from riding to school for months listening to The Infamous album to being in The Tunnel nightclub when @funkflex played Quiet Storm & Queens would go crazy!! Damn!! RIP to our fallen soldier, the legend Prodigy aka P aka H.N.I.C. Sleep in Paradise! ??
