I was production crazy as a kid trying to emulate my heroes like Pete Rock and Premier... but there was something about Prodigy's verse on this track that spoke louder to me



When he said "I rock for the few chosen..." I felt like he was talking directly to me and was telling me to chase my dream.

Thank you P. For everything.

Rip P! Your story is forever told by many. It ain't nothin' really, you just never get old or called a featherweight in the rap game. You now levitate and the world know your name.

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 nigga deceased, another story gets told
it it ain't nothin' really
hey, yo dun spark the Phillie
so I can get my mind off these yellowbacked niggas

This is worse than Biggie for me, and I loved Biggie. This was late high school listening to "hit it from the back", "peer pressure" then listening to Albert Einstein (one of the most underrated tandems in hip hop history) and all the music in between. This will hurt for a loooooooooong time

A fucking EGG!?!?!?! (and @ShortyCumStain called it right regarding the heat and his sickle cell):

Link: http://www.tmz.com/2017/06/20/prodigy-choked-egg-hospital-sickle-cell/

Prodigy choked on an egg Tuesday morning in the hospital, where he'd been getting treatment for a bout with sickle cell anemia ... TMZ has learned. Multiple sources -- connected to Prodigy and the investigation into his death -- tell us he choked on the egg ... however, it's still unclear if that ultimately caused his death. We're told officials are trying to find out if it was the choking or the sickle cell symptoms he'd been battling for days. We're told Prodigy had to be pulled out of a fan meet-and-greet event after Saturday night's concert in Las Vegas ... because his security team noticed he was struggling. It appears his sickle cell was exacerbated by extreme desert temps -- it was reportedly as hot as 110 during the concert. The disease made him prone to dehydration and weakened his immune system. We're told on his way out of the venue, Prodigy told Ice-T goodbye ... and headed to his hotel to get some rest. His condition worsened -- his publicist says Prodigy had to be hospitalized some time after that.
