Bandana P created the grassroots online promo campaign that has become a staple for independent hip-hop, all centered on his magnificent comeback record with Alchemist.

In memory of one of the best to ever do it.

Alchemist and Havoc get together for The Silent Partner and the results are as good as you'd expect.

>Harold Stallworth comes equipped for warfare. When Product of the 80s was released, its marquee contributor, Prodigy, was locked inside New York’s Mid-State Correctional Facility serving a three-year stretch for criminal gun possession. This was 2008, just six months after the release of the second installment of his H.N.I.C. franchise, which was prematurely billed as […]

Deen’s first child will be conceived to an “Eye for an Eye.” Given the fuckshit that transpired between Hav and P a little while ago, most Mobb Deep diehards have been more than a little wary about any new output from the group. I think I speak for the entire Standom when I state that […]

Alchemist is always moving several steps ahead. Whenever I interview him, there are least two future projects locked and loaded and ready for war. When I interviewed him for the Step Brothers album, the Chemist was already talking about his gospel record. He didn’t elaborate much and I didn’t ask specifics because sometimes you want […]

I’m too lazy to go back and find exactly what I wrote about my expectations for Prodigy and The Alchemist’s ‘Albert Einstein’, but I’m fairly certain that I said I’d probably be satisfied with the project if The Alchemist refrained from handing Prodigy those psychedelic beats he’s […]

In which Deen stays riding for his alias’ namesake. I suppose it’s still too much to hope for Hell on Earth-era Prodigy on wax again someday, but I’ll take this. Rap internet has discussed and recapped this ad naseum, but post-“Takeover” Prodigy basically fell off until The Alchemist helped resurrect an acceptable version of the […]

Max Bell was conceived to Juvenile Hell. “A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone […]

I ain’t gonna front: Prodigy lost me AGAIN for a minute.  “Again” because a lotta Mobb/Elementary P fans fanuted their way off the bandwagon after Jay-Z apparently eviscerated P on the Summer Jam screen (fickle twats), while the rest of us waited until P first refused, then forgot how to rhyme completely. I never really […]
