PRODIGY: "He’s Always Gonna Be 'Gay-Z' No Matter What."

[Mr Costello]

For some, like Nas, putting past rap beefs aside to do business is a no-brainer. But for Mobb Deep’s Prodigy, things aren’t always so simple. Years after Jay-Z put those pictures of him on the Summer Jam screen, he still doesn’t feel right about the way things went down. Still, he had to put all that aside this year to begin work on Infamous MC Sam Scarfo’s Def Jam debut. When asked about his thoughts on Jay today, P had this to say:

“He’s always gonna be Gay-Z no matter what. We could do business or even if he wants a beat from Havoc, that nigg*’s still Gay-Z to me. We seen each other in Justin’s [right after the infamous 2001 Summer Jam, where the Jay/Mobb Deep/Nas beef took off]. I was with a whole bunch of my nigg*s. It was just him and like one or two security guards. Soon as he seen me, he just walked straight up to me with his hand out like, “Yo, it’s all love. It ain’t beef. It’s just rap.” I’m like, “Yeah, aright whatever.” He seen how I could of did him. We Mobb Deep. It’s not a game. It’s for real, son. It’s a whole gang of us. We not playing. We from the ‘hood. He thought we were gonna pounce on him. My n*gg*s wanted to jump on him. The Summer Jam thing didn’t really upset me. That’s just reality. When I was younger I thought I was Michael Jackson and my grandmother had a dance school. That’s nothing to be ashamed of. Everybody my age wanted a Michael Jackson jacket back then. But Jay-Z was lying talking about ballerina pictures. People who weren’t at the concert think P had a tutu on or a ballerina suit ‘cause that’s what Jay said in his rhymes. That was some slick sh*t he did to f*ck people’s perceptions up. I was more mad about how this b*tch-*ss n*gg* gonna say something years after all the East Coast and West Coast sh*t go down [on “Money, Cash, Hoes.”]. Shut the f*ck up. Mind your business. That sh*t ain’t got nothing to do with you. ‘Cause when it did have something to do with you, you didn’t have anything to say. You was more quiet than a church mouse. We was the only ones still going to LA and doing shows in Cali, risking our life. It was just us and Biggie going hard. That’s why I feel like I do about the situation, because that n*gg* talking about some sh*t that he ain’t even know, talking about he’s trying to restore the feeling. You ain’t restoring no feeling. I’m glad you successful with your records and you’re getting a lot of airplay and video play, but you ain’t restoring no feeling. We the ‘hood. We the heartbeat of the street. We the ones holding this sh*t down. I just put [our beef] aside for Sam Scarfo, so [Jay and I could work together on] his album [when he was on Def Jam]. But we ain’t [addressed the past beef or our differences].”

it was dumb though...the ballerina shiit. :laugh:


what he say on Money cash hoes...i memorize the track but what p talkin bout

Either way...P is speaking realness right here

[Yoda3542]

Prodigy's right about the Pac thing

but he still fell the fukk off after Summer Jam

he could've gone at Jay's head alot better than that "Crawlin"

[K3mani]

I hate wen dudes claim beef but still shake hands......if u truly felt a way u wudn't shake his hand as a man, even for one track....jus shows how much of a punk P is...

like sayin that u outnumbered jay at justin's is gangsta????? loser

i liked mobb deep too, but prodigy been known for sayin dumb things

"it's like New York been soft ever since Snoop came thru and crushed them buildings, im trying to restore the feeling"

Snoop's "New York, New York" video was basically mocking NYC during the Death Row and Bad Boy/Mobb Deep beef

CNN dropped "LA LA" with Prodigy and Havoc on it

Jay never responded to Pac's disses, claimed he had a diss record he never released cuz Pac died, while Mobb put out "Drop a Gem On Em" right after it happened

so Prodigy took offense that Jay even talked about the situation after it was already over

Yea i memorize all those tracks [except NY NY]...Personally i like LALA -Kuwait Mx better though NY NY had a better impact.that shiit with the dogg pound and CNN. I forgot about that Jay Z line though. Prodigy is right about that. Jigga was alive and well and aint say shiit during the rivalries. His name was being thrown around too.

[Raphael]

Why exactly did Jay decide to destroy this vertically challenged man on takeover?

I know not of this part of hip hop history.

[danja29]

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Prodigy's funny as sh*t. Dude caught real feelings about that sh*t and still harbors 'em today... I ain't mad at him tho'. If a niqqa put me out there lookin' like Alfonso Ribiero and sh*t, I'd have a lil' heat behind that too. :laugh:

I guess some of yall never heard "Dead or Alive", anyway it's not like Jay was saying he was holding it down when the beef was poppin, he was saying how he felt about NY since Snoops video, he's entitled to his opinion but P took it sideways so he got dealt with and hasn't been the same since.

This post is KINDA right, but not really.

Jay def. had a dis at Pac which came after he died, called "Dead Or Alive"- this is where he answered Pac's disses back after the Makaveli album came out. Cause nobody knew he was goin' at Jay until that album dropped and there was an interview in VIBE about the album- Pac wasn't dissin' Jay before that. But of course Pac was gone by the time the Makaveli joint dropped.

Mobb put out "Drop A Gem" literally a week or so before Pac got shot- it was supposed to be their lead single off of Hell On Earth. After he died, they pulled it back and made "Hell On Earth" the single instead, but still put it on the album anyway.

Now the ones who did really fall back was Bad Boy and their affiliates. Lil' Kim had sh*t taken off of the "Big Mama Thang" record. And on "No Time" when Puffy says "death to all the player haters, '96 Bad Boy come on"- if you hear it on the album, the "death to all the player haters" part is cut.

[Blackman28]

He’s always gonna be Gay-Z no matter what.

Truer words cannot be spoken.

[NotSoft]

lol at "my nikka wanted to jump on em"...what about the second time u met wit jay at defjam and gave em dap...where wuz the gayz talk....and lol at Biggie goin hard back then but not jay...wtf did Biggie do again besides get demolished on track after track?




"Next time grown folks talkin nikka(shut the fuk up) close ya mouf"



u all got rode on back then,jay wuz not a factor to be sayin sh1t really unless he wuz gon diss after Pac died like Prodigy and that coward Biggie did.

[westkoast2k2]

And Prodigy will always be the guy who's career was ended by Gay-z

[aka 80's Kid]

Ballerina P feelings still hurt? If he was really hard/crazy/thugged out as he says he was he would have just gave Jay the beatdown at Justins. But like Jay told 'em, its just rap beef, you ain't doing nothin to anybody.

[JMurder]

lol @ approaching Jay wit all of your niccas, and him walking away from that by stepping up and offering a handshake. SMH @ P

THANK you. Ppl. just don't know their history.

Big said NOTHING. "get it TWO PACS" does not = a diss. Nas said zip...Fuggees...NADA.


Prodigy is stupid. Got his crew herbed by Tru Life. Got punched in his face by Saigon. Snuffed by Keith Murray.

When is he gonna STOP actin' like he's hood. What has HE actually done that's "real"?

Oh....wait...teachin' his son to shoot.

Nah what's gangster is how Jay Z was outnumbered but was cool and calm enough to extend his hand in friendship. yall missing that. He could ran like a ***** or act like he didnt see him. That nicca acted like he had a force field around.him. lol. like shake my hand cuz you aint about to do nothing. ha.

Yeah I'm a cali nicca and everytime I would listen to 22 2's I'd always get a sour taste in my mouth. But then he started working with the dog pound so I let go of the ill feelings. I always though Reasonable Doubt was fire from day one. I remeber listen to "It was written" and Reasonable Doubt at Blockbuster music the same day. I was blown away by reasonable doubt. I told everybody that Nas album is good but yall need to check out that new dude Jay Z he disses the west on a song but that dude is on some slick boss ish. 96 I believe it was.

[gotti capone]

it's been 7 yrs and this nygga still sore.

i remember about 3 yrs he had a diss going at Jay over the People Talkin' beat. i oculdnt help but laugh at it tho'.


the joint where he said 50 saved me not Jesus Christ.

[Twang]

This is just a simple case of the harder they come the harder they fall. When mob Deep dropped officially in early 95 they came extremely hard when the beat kicks in for shook ones pt2 and the horn sounds and your blessed with the intro:

To all the killas and the 100 dollar billas
To real nyggas who aint got no felings
Then accompanied with stone cold verses such as:



got you stuck off the realness, we be the infamous
you heard of us
official Queensbridge murderers
the Mobb comes equipped with warfare, beware
of my crime family who got nuff shots to share
for all of those who wanna profile and pose
rock you in your face, stab your brain wit' your nosebone
you all alone in these streets, cousin
every man for theirself in this land we be gunnin'
and keep them shook crews runnin'
like they supposed to
they come around but they never come close to
I can see it inside your face
you're in the wrong place
cowards like you just get they're whole body laced up
with bullet holes and such
speak the wrong words man and you will get touched
you can put your whole army against my team and
I guarantee you it'll be your very last time breathin'
your simple words just don't move me
you're minor, we're major
you all up in the game and don't deserve to be a player
don't make me have to call your name out
your crew is featherweight
my gunshots'll make you levitate
I'm only nineteen but my mind is old
and when the things get for real my warm heart turns cold
another nygga deceased, another story gets told
it ain't nothin' really
hey, yo dun spark the Phillie
so I can get my mind off these yellowbacked nyggas
why they still alive I don't know, go figure
meanwhile back in Queens the realness is foundation
if I die I couldn't choose a better location
when the slugs penetrate you feel a burning sensation
getting closer to God in a tight situation
now, take these words home and think it through
or the next rhyme I write might be about you

Don’t even get me started on survival of the fittest along with the prelude or ‘Temperature rising’, ‘Trife life’, ‘Right back at you’, ‘QU hetic’, man the whole damn album was ill as hell what the fukk happened?!? Where did it all go wrong???
Under no circumstance can one be seen in a ballerina outfit or even worse sign up to a group of nerds and a mumbling informant who not long before that previously sonned you…
