Mobb Deep had to be one of my favorite hip hop acts growing up. IMHO this may have been one of the best hip hop tracks ever produced.
When I first started dj'ing I started out spinning Drum and Bass, I absolutely loved throwing down the drum and bass version of this track. It would always get the hall bumping !
RIP Prodigy, thanks for leaving us with some great music.
RIP
Nice track selection :)
Great track, randomly came to mind, I ended up posting it then listening to it all the way through, hadn't heard in a while. I'm glad 50 picked them up when he did because they deserved some cash for being such consistent artists for so long, sad to see him go. Wonder what Havoc will be up to, would love to see a tribute come from this loss, a lot of great NY rap could come together old and new.
No doubt, that would be really cool. I imagine there will be all kinds of tributes.
Another legend gone to early
All the great ones seem to leave us to early!
so sad to hear when people pass on before their time
Absolutely, and it seems to happen far to often in the music industry too.
