I couldn't afford to get sick in prison. My sickle cell is no joke, so I couldn't eat poorly or not exercise. And everything in jail is designed to do the exact opposite.
Quote by -Prodigy
I think the sound of 'The Infamous' came naturally from our lifestyle and some of the criminal things we were doing. We always rap about what we're living, and to put a beat to lyrics like those is hard.
Quote by -Prodigy
You have people there from all walks of life: people who made mistakes and have to deal with the consequences, mothers and fathers. You wouldn't expect them to be behind bars.
Quote by -Prodigy
You can never go back to a time and try to recreate that sound, because that time is done.
Quote by -Prodigy
We'll never change the fact that we are hardcore hip-hop and we make rebellious hip-hop music, and we're going to keep doing that and progress with our production, progress with our lyrical styles, be creative, and just have fun with it.
Quote by -Prodigy
Just having conversations with God, begging God to make the pain go away, and then the pain wouldn't go away. So I'm like 'Who the hell am I talking to? God is not responding.'
Quote by -Prodigy
To me, I got a bunch of haters. Mobb Deep - and Prodigy, speaking for myself - I got a bunch of haters.
Quote by -Prodigy
Actually doing a song, going to the studio, and just getting out on paper your anger makes you feel a little better sometimes.
Quote by -Prodigy
My family had a lot to do with 'My Infamous Life.' They were the inspiration behind me starting to write. I had an interesting family life dating way back, and they did a lot in their lifetime.
Quote by -Prodigy
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.
Quote by -Prodigy
'Cobra Clutch' was to let the world know we ain't going nowhere. We got the game in the cobra clutch.
Quote by -Prodigy
You got to treat Mobb Deep different because our fan base is different. Our fan base is in the 'hood across the world.
Quote by -Prodigy
I was real serious when it came to rapping. I still do, but even more so when I was real young.
Quote by -Prodigy
In my lyrics, I used to always state two years ahead. I did that to make it seem like we were ahead of our time - a time capsule almost. It had never been done before.
Quote by -Prodigy
Premier came into the picture when were starting to make our own beats and all that.
Quote by -Prodigy
A sickle-cell attack would creep up slowly in my ankles, legs, arms, back, stomach, and chest. Sometimes my lips and tongue turned numb, and I knew I was going into a crisis.
Quote by -Prodigy
When I was locked up, I went through a big personal change with my attitude and spiritual, everything. I went through some major changes locked up.
Quote by -Prodigy
When you are young and rebellious, you don't want to be in the house. You want to be on the block.
Quote by -Prodigy
I'm a fan of hip-hop. I'm a fan of rap, so anything new that's happening, I'm hip to it.
Quote by -Prodigy
With Mobb Deep, we have to agree on things. We have to agree that we want to use that beat or agree on the type of song we want to do.
Quote by -Prodigy
I just remember the feeling of being dropped from Island and having our hearts broken. Because we were given a chance to put out an album to the world. We got the chance for people to know who we were. We wanted to make our dreams come true and do hip-hop for a living, but we didn't do it right.
Quote by -Prodigy
We used to cut out of school and go to Coney Island to record songs almost every day.
Quote by -Prodigy
The NYPD is just a branch of corruption connected to a giant, corrupt tree called the United States government.
Quote by -Prodigy
People of all races need to come together to control our government and run a giant comb through it so we can see the filth that comes out.
Quote by -Prodigy
'Mortal Kombat' was an ill game. I would always be either Reptile or Scorpion. Those dudes were ill. We used to stay up all night playing.
Quote by -Prodigy
When we first signed to Loud, we had a 20-song demo. So all of those songs we wanted to put on the album. But we started making new ones, and through process of elimination, we wanted all the new ones. We didn't like the old ones no more.
Quote by -Prodigy
Mobb Deep's music, we represent poverty. That's what made us. That's who made us. That's who brought us up.
Quote by -Prodigy
Once I started writing, I realized just how much I really enjoyed it. I was kinda good at it, so I kept at it.
Quote by -Prodigy
When I was a kid, I used to love to play 'Dig Dug.' It was, like, this little dude, where he digs in the dirt and makes tunnels.
Quote by -Prodigy
Premier was one of the first producers that we reached out to, and he was like, 'Hell yeah! Let's get to work.' He was showing us love and giving young, new artists a chance.
Quote by -Prodigy
You have to find a sound that reflects what our souls feel like inside, how our bodies actually feel. That's why we made our own beats. We couldn't find a producer who could give us the feeling to match our lyrics.
