Havoc is such a low key and humble talent. Alchemist reminds me a bit of him with a similar demeanor and attitude. You can tell they are just about the music and let their music speak for itself.

Havoc is definitely a top 5 producer of alltime.

I don’t think havoc realises how great he is, one of the greatest hip hop producers of all time, but he also got busy with the pen! Not many can say that

Havoc’s throwaway tracks was bangers and classics. That’s some grade A elite producer status right there. This guy said he made the Quiet Storm beat and threw it in the back somewhere. Wow 😯 Thank the Creator that P found it. We’re always our greatest critic.

The brother with the dreds made a good point. Havoc did hold his own on songs and say some quotable bars too. We were just amazed what prodigy was saying at the time. Lol.. I remember rappers were sampling Prodigys' bars in songs and using them as hooks. That's how cold the Infamous Album is til this day.😎✊🏾

I can relate to that "it doesn't feel real", I lost my best friend to suicide and it really doesn't feel real. That's coming from a realist who follows a acceptance kind of philosophy, but it's more of a feeling even if you mentally acknowledge and accept it. It's been 7 years and still can't truly process and comprehend the loss, especially as he said looking at some reminders of the person. For me, as I'm sure was the case with Hav for P, it's not just the fact it was your best friend but it was a bond beyond that, I think soul brother is the only thing that can come close to describe that kind of friendship and bond. So it's fitting then that it does feel like a piece of your soul got lost with them.

It's really Dope To see Brothers in a Group Genuine Happy for each others Solo Success !!! Salute MOBB DEEP 4EVA !!! PRODIGY LIVES !!!

The Infamous Mob.....M.O.B.B

Thank you Sean Bigga for bringing the occasional voice of reason. Names are powerful and there's a saying, "He who names you claims you." What if Tribe Called Quest was named "Thugs For Life"? We might not have gotten all of that incredible positive, true to life music from Tribe, and we could have gotten a lot of violent anti-social nihilistic content from those legends. What a loss that would have been. Mobb Deep were like "Thug Anti Heroes" back in the day, and I watched a lot of shorties try to be like them. I hate to think of how many people might have lost their lives, been hurt, jailed, or had drug and alcohol addiction issues trying to be like Mobb Deep's image, which was shaped by their group name. Even Havoc seems to know that the name that they choose drove the direction of their music content.🤔

Art imitates life, Tribe calling themselves that would make literally no sense. Hip-Hop comes from predominantly poverty stricken communities, you just gotta take the good with the bad. As for the shorties wanting to "emulate," I suppose the only heard the "rock you in your face stab your brain with your nose bone" and "chasing /st. Ides down with some seagrams gin" bars, not the bars about their people getting killed or locked up. They were able to make it out the hood rapping about the hood and making more people aware of the struggles that afflict people from that environment. This is America, after all, this country is not sewn from very many righteous threads. It just seems for all this talk about needing more positivity people seem to only focus on the fact that there is negativity rather than having some nuanced thoughts about what is really negative or positive.

The algorithm just brought this gift to me. Now this hip hop show should be number 1, no disrespect to others…

I love Havoc he very humble.

Since Havoc was the guest, when Rockness walked in I immediately thought of Suspect Niggaz on OGC album. Shit was fire!! Rock wasn't on it but Havoc and BCC is a match made in heaven...

Every single time we had to put work in, Mobb Deep was playin. We was Mobb Deep Connecticut lol Til this day, I know every song off they first 3 albums word for word. My childhood survival muzik.

Mobb deep got me through basic training rapping their songs constantly on those long ass road marchs in 97. It was Survival of the Fittest every day lol.

I’M SUPER FUXXING WITH WHAT SEAN BIGGA SAID! “THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE MADE SHOOK ONES.” HOW POWERFUL A STATEMENT! CHARLEMAGNE THE GOD ENDED UP WRITING A BOOK WITH THAT TITLE THAT WAS A BEST SELLER! IT ALLOWED HIM FREELY TALK ABOUT ANXIETY AND FEAR AS A BLACK MAN! ON THE OTHER HAND HOW MANY CRIMES WERE DONE WITH THAT SONG IN THE BACKGROUND? HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE MADE TO FEEL LESS THAT BECAUSE OF THAT TITLE AND HOW PEOPLE SANG IT SO PROUDLY EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE JUST AS SHOOK AS THOSE THEY BULLIED? I LOVE WHAT SEAN BIGGA SAID! HE’S SPEAKING OF ANOTHER REALITY WHERE PRODIGY AND HIS BRILLIANCE WOULD HAVE HAD A DIFFERENT REP AND MAYBE MORE IMPACT!
