Prodigy gets the last laugh…yeah, he rocked an MJ jacket. What?

(XXLMag posted this image from Jay-Z’s infamous Hot97 Summerjam screen attack on Mobb Deep’s Prodigy back in 2001)
Kudos to XXLmag for thinking outside the box by reaching out to Prodigy in jail for his reaction to Michael Jackson’s passing. Seems that P felt much vindication upon watching this Sunday’s BET awards….
“[Jamie Foxx] said everybody used to dress like Michael Jackson when they was a little kid…You know I like that part ’cause certain niggas ‘Oh yeah Prodigy had the beaded jacket on when he was 8 years old,’ like tryna discredit me like there’s something wrong with that. Nah ain’t nothing wrong with that and everybody knows and it’s sad that Michael Jackson had to die but now everybody’s professing ‘oh I loved Michael Jackson when I was little too.’ Oh now it’s okay.”
“Rest in peace, Michael Jackson…He did a lotta things I ain’t agree with later on in life but overall that was a good muthafucka right there. That was an excellent person, with his music and what he contributed to the music world. Perfect, excellent.”

No they discredit you cuz you’re a fraud. You aint even really from QB and you aimt bout none of the shit you rap about. This nigga was the OG Yung Berg. Getting robbed and beat up every week. The pic Hov put up just further proved that. Not cuz you dressed like MJ but cuz you was getting your ballet on yet tryna act like you was a BG when you was really in LI practicing for your Fame audition…CLOWN

Yeah, Shook Ones & Quiet Storm was dope but I’m agreeing w/ ChicaGo-Getter. Prodigy wasn’t clowned for dressing like Michael Jackson, hell Summer Jam went nuts when Jay brought him onstage. Prodigy was clowned for being FAKE. Don’t lie about your past, he shoulda learned from Vanilla Ice.
Prodigy failed again saying now hip hop wanna embrace Michael Jackson. He stay losing.. SMH

LOL I was one that never understood how the MJ gear as a youth was wrong…now the tutu on the other hand….definitely not a good look!

He is right. We all idolized MJ. We all danced like MJ, dressed like him, and followed his every move. I don’t think people questioned him on his MJ photos. We all have a photo w/ one glove on perched up on our toes. It was the ballet pictures that got him in trouble w/ the streets.

Now P is just quietly biding his time until Mikhail Baryshnikov bites the dust.

I never really saw this pic before. Heard about it, but “wow”…
If that was taken in 1988, then Prodigy would have been 14 at the time.
That is not a 14 year old.
When P was 8, it would have been 1982, putting it right around the time of “Thriller”, and making much, much more sense.
Jay-Z is an opportunistic liar and hypocrite.
Didn’t he bring Mike out at a SummerJam one year?
WTH?

Prodigy was being clowned for not being who he claimed he was. Jay said don’t make me bring out the pictures. If you used to be a dancer, say you was a dancer. Don’t pretend you was all hard. That’s not being a hypocrite, that’s stating the facts.

The picture has a falsified date on it.
Jay was being just as dishonest as he accused Prodigy of being.
Overall lesson to be learned here is that Jay acts like a real dirtbag when he wants to come out on top of a situation.
Take your fanatic goggles off for a minute.

Yo, when you’re dissing someone, you’re allowed some sort of poet license. U are trying to make the crowd laugh, P being 14 is way funnier than P being 9. Yo Mama jokes been around since the beginning of time and every ending is an exaggeration.
The point is the pic was funny then and I laughed. I didn’t care if it was actually from ‘88… people take beef way too seriously. To me, jay won that b/c P wanted stuff to escalate to violence. If P wanted to win, all he had to do was WRITE a comeback

Great perspective on this.
I don’t think there is a single adult in entertainment(if not life in general) that doesn’t have a questionable/embarrassing childhood pic or story.
Mobb Deep made classics. If a rappers “stories” are fraudulent then I blame the listener for thinking a black in America could REALLY make money off admitted murder.

why u so sensitive? does your man beat you too and you stay running back to him? your idol admitted GUILT.. why can’t his fans? also, check your facts because it seems cover girl had a problem with CB, not jay… i’m not even a jay z fan like that but twitter got everyone believing the hype. sponsors can’t be linked to stuff like domestic violence. not this soon, he ain’t even been sentenced yet.

like “my 2 cents” said jay had nothin to do with chris not performin
dont believe the hype aka those gossip site and twitter gangstas
chris’s reps said it, BET said it, and jamie foxx confirmed that to be FALSE
jay did not sell his mother crack
not all jay records are autobiographies and he said that some come from people he knows perspective
and what does that have to do with anything anywayz
btw i am i BIG hov fan call me groupie stan wat ever so ill talk up for him

@ ihateu2
homie i clearly said not this SOON.. (i see you are a jay z fan b/c that song wasn’t even a released single).. my point is that the internet spreads mad rumors and got CB fan’s all CRUSHED. u know i even heard he performed and they cut it out last minute (Lies too). since when is it cool to BEAT UP you’re girl and get a pass. once he’s sentenced and can release a statement which I HOPE includes an apology, he can keep it moving. until then expect to get snubbed!!! TI was at the grammy’s, but he also did his road to redemption and public speaking circuit!!
as far as JAY Z goes, Prodigy was exposed get over it!!!

True story Prodigy was a dancer when he was young. I know someone that was in those dance classes with him, a dance studio in Hempstead. When she told me (back in ‘96!) I was like “0h word!” I brushed it off cause Prodigy was mad young and we all knew(know) someone that was “Soft” when they was young but then someone(or something) put a battery in they back when they got in high school/Junior High.
Name one Emcee/Rapper that was always hard-body from birth…
Word to everything, listen to Buckshot on Paul Rosenberg speak on JayZ. Buck summed up Jay very well, dude is the very definition of jacking-concepts.

I’d prefer to listen to Infamous than Reasonable Doubt anyday.
With that said, I do think P was being clowned for his fakeness, rather than he was an MJ fan.
With that said, dudes rushed to conclusions and didn’t even take the time to say “hmmn, that looks like he’s rocking the Michael Jackson jacket, and I used to do that too.” EVERYONE at that time wanted to be like MJ.
Bottom line, I never listened to P thinking he was actually a serial murderer or whatever. He just made classic muhfucking music, AS HE’S SUPPOSED TO. So I never understood the sudden abandonment of Mobb Deep after that Jay-Z Summer Jam incident. All you clowns talking about whether P’s real or not can’t even make a record that’ll last for a month, not to talk about decades and more.
P did his job, and I’m thankful for that. Hip Hop should be more concerned about who makes better music, not who seems more real, especially in an industry where you simply can’t tell who is ‘real’ or not.

In response to swagprofess…I think there’s a medium to it. There’s a big difference wit mobb deep and rick ross..everyone knew mobb deep 50 cent and the rest of these artist are not busting they guns..and these artist know it. Yet wit ross is he actually blv what he rappin about to the point when he’s caught out there he continues on with the lies and continues to make his situation worst than what it already is.

Prodigy said something like “In 88, I was bustin guns” Jay-Z basically goes, “is that right?”

Jay-Z is a thoroughbred hater. Look at every person he’s done Business with. He fucks everyone over. He’s a fake ass clown.

…You know, for someone who’s currently in Prison (Over typical Rapper Bullshit, might I add), Prodigy is the most bigmouthed Inmate I’ve ever seen. He has some shit to say just about every week. I mean seriously, does this guy EVER shut the fuck up?
And the very fact that he’s STILL on that tired-ass ‘beef’ with Jay 8 YEARS LATER (Whether or not what Jay said ties in to Mike Jackson’s passing or not) is just pathetic.
In other words, if Prodigy spent half as much time trying to get a damn Appeal that he does talking shit about rappers that are better than him (Jay, Crooked I, etc.), this muthafucka’d be free by now…

@Arcane, if I was him I’d be talking up a storm. What the fuck else does he have to do? And he’s reading books for the first time so he’s feeling intelligent – deadly.
Prodigy might not be real or whatever, whatever that means, but come on Infamous, Hell on Earth, classics that define periods of my life.

July 1st, 2009 at 12:22 pm
@Ehhh….You just answered your own question (And defeated the purpose of your reply to what I said)–If the man is reading ‘for the first time in his life,’ as you put it, then that’s more than enough for him to do. Had he done that before, he might not be IN Prison, and we wouldn’t have to hear him talking shit from behind Bars every damn week.
And who said anything about him being ‘real,’ or about the Mobb’s old albums? Were you referring to what someone else said?

How about this for some food for thought…Since none of these rappers are 1/1,000,000 of the gangstas they claim to be, why don’t they just stop rapping like they are so that they don’t mislead young boys into beliving their nonsense and actually pursing this trife life? Oh! How about this…since they are all two timing scum bags, to their close associates, how about we stop patronizing them? Because i guarntee they’ve got no loyalty to us if not their mothers and brothers and sisters and kins. How bout them apples? OH! BTW…I’m one tough cookie. Fear me. You don’t have to roar to be a lion.
