Just something I dug out of my inbox. Damn near forgot about the pity that came over me when I first read it...
SALES ARE DOWN? NO. FANS ARE CLOWNS!!!"
I DON'T CARE FOR MILLIONS OF FANS BUYING MY ALBUM. I'D RATHER HAVE 200 THOUSAND OR 500 THOUSAND STRONG SUPPORTERS BUYING MY MUSIC AND PRODUCT-LESS IS MORE. IF I ONLY SELL 100 THOUSAND ALBUMS, THEN ME AND MY 100 THOUSAND SUPPORTERS WILL COMPLETE THE MISSION I'M NO LONGER INTO GREED. I DON'T WANT FANS ANYMORE, BECAUSE THE DEFINITION OF A FAN IS A FANATIC. THE PEOPLE WHO BUY MY PRODUCT AND RIDE WITH ME ARE MY SUPPORTERS NOT FANATICS. A FANATIC IS SIMILAR TO A LUNATIC, A PERSON WHO IS OUT OF THEIR SANITY. MY SUPPORTERS AS WELL AS MYSELF ARE IN OUR SANE AND ARE FULLY CONCIOUS OF WHAT'S GOING ON HERE. WE ARE FULLY AWARE OF ALL THE BULLSHIT.
... MY SMALL GROUP OF SUPPORTERS AND I WILL DOMINATE AND WIN AT THE END. CAUSE PURE CLEAN WATER IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE CHOSEN OVER UN-PURE FILTHY WATER, WHICH WILL POISON YOU IF YOU CONSUME IT.
LOOK AT J.Z., IN THE PICTURE AT THE TOP OF THIS BLOG [a pic of him at Glastonbury holding a guitar]. IS THAT REPRESENTING B.K. TO THE FULLEST? I THINK NOT. JAY Z HAS PROVEN TIME AND AGAIN THAT IS BRANCH NEEDS TO BE CLIPPED. HE'S NOT ALONE AND I'M NOT DISCRIMINATING. WHOEVER IS NOT PROMOTING A PURE WAY OF LIFE, IT'S TIME TO GO. YOU ARE POISIONING THE REST OF US AND ESPECIALLY THE YOUTH. THEY FIRED JERRY MCGUIRE FOR SAYING SIMILAR THINGS, BUT HE BELIEVED IN HIS MISSION AND SO DID HIS SUPPORTERS. THEY WON AT THE END AND SO WILL WE!!!! I'M MAKING IT COOL TO BE NATURAL-BE YOURSELF. NOT THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST.
J.Z. IS A FOLLOWER. HE FOLLOWS THE LATEST TRENDS. WHATEVER'S NEW HE FOLLOWS IT, SO HE CAN CLAIM HE STARTED SOMETHING. PRODIGY IS A LEADER. I GO IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I CHOOSE MY OWN PATH. I WAS ONCE LOST, BUT NOW I AM FOUND. AND, I WILL HELP TO GUIDE OTHERS, BUT THEY MUST BELIEVE THAT I KNOW THE WAY. IT PAINS THEM TO SOON HAVE TO ADMIT THAT PRODIGY IS RIGHT. WATCH HOW MANY RAPPERS LIKE J.Z. ARE ABOUT TO FOLLOW MY PATH, BUT THEY WILL RESIST FOR AS LONG AS THEY CAN. SEE Y'ALL AT THE CROSSROAD.
See the additional twenty paragraphs and the "embarrassing" pic of Hov here.
Just a few notes about this madness:
Number one, he's trying to justify the poor sales of H.N.I.C 2 by claiming that the people who have bought his albums from day one are lunatics and therefore he doesn't want them buying his sh*t. Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Number two, what happened to the blog response to Joe Budden's murder dis? Nah... scratch that. Where is Havoc? Didn't they make a song called "Eye for an Eye" -- "we in this together son your beef is mine"? Yeah. They did. They actually began the hook with "As time goes by." And obviously, lots of time has gone by since that song was made and in the midst of Joe slaughtering his boy Havoc is currently nowhere to be found.
Pulling up "corny" looking pictures of folks, are we? First of all, not that I care, but that pic of Hov holding a guitar is probably when he was mocking Oasis. Second, n*gga, let's not start talking about foolish pictures of people. As one of the biggest laughingstocks in New York City history, Prodigy has suffered an immeasurable amount of embarrassment after being exposed on a big screen at Summer Jam '01 as a ballerina. By the hands of Hov, of course.
But you're STILL talking about Jay-Z? After you sold out and signed to G-Unit and lost half of your "lunatic" fans? Even Fif isn't trying to put out another Mobb Deep album.
Negro, please.
reckless take Jay z dick outta ya mouth you faggot... Prodigy has spoken the real from politics to these bitch ass rappers... You are to blind to see whats goin on because you just like the rest of these Sohh journalists.. a payolla whore.. you aint for the culture you bitch, the oppressor is cuttin your check faggot.. so miss me with this propaganda you tryin ta push pussy.. the same people that destroyed our culture are paying you to blogg about this bullshit.. your a fuckin agent you pussy
reckless.. you are a payolla whore.. you got Jay dick so far in yor ass that you can't even see whats really goin on.. That Illuminati shit is real... And this New World order shit is gonna pop off sonner than you think pussy.... The same people that destroyed rap culture cut your check you faggot, thats why you are so against prodigy's message, because your gettin that check from the powers that be.. You gotta be good to Massa huh reckless? you fuccin payolla pawn.. You an shit
Hey again reckless fagot once again you tryin to diss a hip hop legend like i told u before you a LAME as u can see by the response that u get no one agrees with your punk ass stop hating u BITCH! p.s. no one still cares bout Joe Budden.
i remember when kay slay used that same "fans are fanatics, the tern "fan" is disrespectful" logic regarding papoose on one of pap's mixtapes
the sh1t was corny when slay said it and it's even cornier now that P is saying it. mutha fukkas been using the word "fans' for centuries, they ain't gunna change it because these dumbasses think their smart by bringing up the literal definitions of words.
Portugal4lyfe, u stupid as fuck. How in the hell is Prodigy a legend. Nigga Please. To be a legend, you have to have a overwhelming majority to 2nd that motion. Prodigy can't even get a majority in his own hometown of Queens. The fuck outta here.
normally i don't agree wit Reckless articles... but he's on point wit this one... i been said prodigy lost his mind when he sold his self to gunit.. to go absolutely nowhere..
i was a "supporter" of mobb deep back in the day... but tbh prodigy.. you done fucked up... thats it.. point blank... these blogs you got goin on.. come on, you cant honestly think your sane..
your comparison to jerry mcguire is no where near valid.. unless your followers have the same mental capacity as you then anyone who reads this can't take you seriously... jerry mcquire wrote a mission statement about agents should focus more attention to less players for quality effects instead of seeing how many players they can get and not paying too much attention to them.. HOW IN THE FUCK DOES THIS FIT IN WIT YOU???? you didn't get fired for speakin your mind.. u just made yourself look dumb as shit...
smh at prodigy... lost
Who writes this shit?
This is a terrible piece with no journalistic credibility what so ever. Do you hate your job? Or are you one of those snake people off of V posing as a Hip-Hop blogger poisoning the ignorant with blatant propaganda. 1st of all alot of what he said is true. I love Jay but truth is truth. Did Prodigy not shake up with you or something. Did he not grant an interview. Because this seems personal.
Ummm.. follow Prodigy's path? isn't he in jail for guns? I dont think thats the message we want to put on to children...
Prodigy is old news. I think hestopped making relevant music after the "hey love" song with 112... that killed it for me, I haven't listened since.
Prodigy's mind has officially left the building. I guess he could not take jail and it's 4 corners.
Prodigy speaks the real...ain't even trippin off his past.
Reckless, stop bein a hater. Apostle was right about you being a payola whore and a slave.
I think people been too hard on Mobb Deep honestly. Say what you want about Prodigy, let's talk about Havoc for a sec. Dude Havoc has NEVER missed a step, lyrics and production has always been dope as hell. I think most people have a problem wit P and make the mistake of throwin Havoc in the same boat.
As far as Prodigy, I would say if he retired or died or somethin after HNIC, he would be considered one of the top ever up there wit Nas, Wu, Big and all the rest from the mid 90's. I think that is an undisputed fact. If Biggie had dropped the classics he dropped, never got shot, and than all of sudden his skills fell off on an album, and he talked some crazy shit in a blog, and a rapper put him up on the big screen in his school uniform clownin him, and what not: would we idolize him the way we do? How about if 2Pac never got shot, and those pictures came out when he was in tights at the art school in Bmore, or the pics of him wit the Digital Underground background dancin wit his pants at his ankles humpin a doll? I could easily see some great rappers bein tossed aside, unappreciated, and forgotten for the same shit that people hatin Mobb Deep for.
Should I hate Mobb Deep when they only put out two wack albums in their career: Infamy and Blood Money? Should I hate Nas since he put out Nastradamus and Street Disciples? How come every rapper can make a gay ass love song or club song (to the point that the radio plays nothin BUT that shit), yet as soon as Mobb Deep did it, they sell outs and chumps? Yall inspire me though, I'm gonna go bump Quiet Storm now, and I think I'll bump Hell On Earth or Amerikaz Nightmare on the way home
YEAH MAN!!! I think I might go and bump "Murda Muzik" right now. That "Quiet Storm" REMIX w/Lil' Kim is a classic hip-hop moment.
Thanks for the inspiration.
I can't believe people are defending this guy's ramblings. This shit is straight gibberish. "We are in our sane"? GTFOH! This nigga is fucking retarded. My 5 year old brother could write something more coherent than this idiocy.
Hes suffering, lack of money, lack sales, lack love. Hes going after the guy who has all of that. Shit that would make me loose it to.
I'm not defending his rants. I could care less about his crazy talk, rock stars and artists have always been looney. The music is what I'm concerned wit and Mobb Deep has had a great run. Everyone says Mobb Deep became completely wack. There is truth in that because their last 2 out of 3 studio albums have been mediocre at best, not to mention they got beasted by JayZ and Nas: but if they so wack how do you explain Amerikaz Nightmare? That was a quality album. How do you explain HNIC2? How do you explain the Free Agents mixtape which by the way with NO PROMOTION, and NO MAJOR LABEL charted on Soundscan at like #40 in the top albums in the nation? How do you explain tracks like Cobra? And if they so wack why is it huge news on all these websites when they was suposedly goin to break up, or when they signed wit G Unit?
