Prodigy Breaks Down His Infamous Beef With Jay-Z 

Prodigy is a fucking legend. thank god for him & havoc. these guys are global icons grew up in the biggest projects of america.

He was just a kid....and I believe Prodigy laughed that shit off. You know why...Prodigy was secure in his Gangsta. Rest In The Power

It takes a introspective and intelligent man to take Jay's hand and accept his words without getting violent. Prodigy is just that and has been slept on by way too many people.

Ain’t ashamed of his roots. True G.

Salute to prodigy he always kept it a 💯 never held back or sugar coat shit!

You can just tell that was an honest interview

P is 1 of my favorite rappers and 1 of the illest lyricysts to grab the mic !! Rest in power king...🙏🏼🙏🏼

5:18 “do not shoot in this club, we can just beat this nigga up” 😂😂🤣🤣🤣😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. P funny af

Rest in power prodigy

R.i.p Prodigy 😢😢😢

The more I hear Prodigy on podcasts and shit the more I like him. Always liked his music but what made "headlines" was fuckery. The nigga is a cool nigga tho

RIP Prodigy!

When NYC & Hip-hop had memorable moments galore.

2 Legendary rappers talking it out. RIP PRODIGY

Prodigy did Ballet Pac did Ballet Un Kasa did ballet and if you from NY u know who Stack Bundles is he was a dancer himself also and in the 80s Dancing was the thing to do watch Beat Street

I believe P. He has told this same story multiple times - and he tells it the exact same way. The story never changed. JD saw them and left Jay-Z and dipped out quick! 😂

RIP Prodigy, you alwasy held him down premium

Sounds like Jay saw "more people" and "believed" Prodigy 😂

So when Prodigy was a little boy he dressed up as Michael Jackson. Big deal. Tupac took ballet in high school. When he was a teenager, not a little boy. But did Jay ever say a word back to Tupac when Pac dissed him?? Not a chance. Would anyone ever question Tupac's manhood for that?? Not a chance. The summer jam shit was a cute little move but only fools went along with that shit and felt that Jay ethered Prodigy. By the way...."ethered", where did I get that from?? Exactly. Jay is the one that got destroyed.

Prodigy was killed. This man had a great lineage of knowledgeable intelligent and talented black people. It showed in his lyrcisim, thought process and the things he spoke of.

DAT PICTURE OF P DOING MIKE JACKSON WAS REAL COME ON WORLD WE THOUGH WE WERE MIKE JACKSON AND DANCED AROUND IT WAS PART OF US GROWING UP 1976 I LOVE THAT FLICK , YOU CUT THE RUG TO IT TOO , REAL IS REAL , MY SUN .

Never seen this interview by the views I can see millions of others haven’t either. Prodigy definitely a fallen legend you will be missed Capital P! At 4:00 P explains how things get real behind disrespect... DirtyNewYorker style.... my guy

So you were a ballerina...

I'm so happy for this story. Whenever cooler heads prevail and respect be laid out it is marvelous in our eye Long Live the Kings Queens 👑🍎

That's amazing hear that from prodigy it takes a big man to accept knowing the other person is right.

R.I.P P

luv u PRODIGY RIP🙏🏿

Prodigy was a Beast

Whether Jay was afraid or not , thankfully Jay had the sense to walk up to this guy , reach out his hand and explain to him that its just hip hop music and there is no beef. Its probably part of the reason why Jay was able to capitalize off of his fame instead of ending up famous with no long money to right home about. Jay came in the game thinking like a business man and that so called beef was a business move by Jay where as someone else would of tried to escalate the shit only to get themselves hurt , hurt someone else or end up ,dead or in jail behind words on a song. 900,000,000 $ later i think it was a smart move Jays part

my cousin graduated from more house college. He died a month before prodigy

I wish they wouldve pushed Jay's wig back

P had a great family lineage

JayZ Jedi mind tricked prodigy

Classic interview from Prodigy of Mobb Deep everyone. For real. Yes. Believe it. Facts. Rest In Peace to Prodigy of Mobb Deep everyone. For real. You will be missed.

“It’s just rap music.” At the end of the day, that’s all it is and all it should be. Who’s better than who? Salute to Bandanna P, Rest In Peace King! 🙏🏾💯❤️🕊️

I don't see how that destroyed him when he was a child. Now if he had pics in bed with a man or dressed wrap it sumtin that'll hurt.

Jay z had nothing to do with mobb deep career going down. They never adjusted to the change in music. Never reinvented themselves. When that happens you doom your career. That's what happened. Period.

What he should of said to jay is “ you’re right this is only rap music and its important how you are perceived by everyone so here take this beating so this word gets around like that ballerina shit..........

Don P is a legend!

p was never gangsta he wanted to be gangsta but he knew some gangsters

Apparently Jay did the same thing when he ran into Jungle after dissing Nas and Prodigy. Said "it's just music" lol Jay talk tough and tries to play it off when confronted.

PETE DOPE INTERVIEW AND THIS IS CLASSIC

that's beautiful.. he had the family that most black kids want. and they tried to make fun of him because of a pic when he was younger.... their mom wouldn't put them in anything..dance class or or no other class.. people stupid.. r. I. p to prodigy!!

Let's keep it a💯 Jay-Z 2 first hooks on his 2 biggest songs came from Nas & Prodigy!! He sampled Nas talking about the tech on the dresser, and Prodigy talking about the Illuminati wanting my mind, soul, and my body!!

Respect ✊🏿 rip prodigy

🎉

RIP to one of the best to ever do it.

We know why it's not called The PROFESSIONAL Pete Show when he pulls out his phone and stares at it during an interview with a legend

jay played into that he knew people would react that way thats why he put the picture up...

I got what the picture meant 🤣

Jay-Z avoided the grave more than a few times. Talkn bout it's just hip hop. Not everybody got a sense of humor. He should've gotten the shiit smacked outta him. Especially if you know beefs back then got real serious real quick.

Tupac has some moist photos as a kid. Go look at Jay Zs photo as a kid?

Prodigy legend !!!

REST IN PEACE KING!

Is that Paulie malinogi

A real street nukka will understand y p fell back.he had the upper hand since the jump n still remained calm like a mobster would.hint...mobb deep.lol

Jay said everything that Pac said to Big at the awards when BiG asked Pac why is he saying that? Pac said it's only music to get paid. Nothing more.-Tupac

RIP Prodigy Mobb Deep forever......but he could of denied it all he want....That shit hurt em because it created a perception and that was Jays goal...

He said, "Fuck!" lol

If prodigy was here ..he’ll laugh at the news of what’s going on with jayz

"Ha dumb ass, that wasn't even the right picture..." RIP Prodigy man, I know exactly what he's saying. Like water, how you gon' let something like that phase you in war?

This is so good. P: I thought that shit was soooo funny. Not mad at all. Laughing. Also P: I was going to physically assault Jay Z over that shit. Only Prod could get away with this sentiment. Legend status, cemented.

Jayz whole career would not have been the same if he didn't make that truce that night

Perception is everything....gotta stay awake even if you......sleeping.

Prodigy

Jay-Z disrespects a lot of Rappers...🤷🏾‍♂️

there's some serious flicker going on there

Paulie maliggnagi?

RIP so Justin‘s is not a club. It was a restaurant that puff there is no way you could be there for an hour and not see each other in this restaurant. It was too small and if you have been there and you live in New York, you know that’s facts.

I respect that a lot! I’m so glad y’all were big enough not to fk up generations of growth and development and entertainment over some stupid shit like that. Why can everybody roast each other but not rappers🤦🏾

p was real

General Barz!! R.I.P

Yeah definitely that east cost in P when he said he will hurt you dog😂. Rip, definitely one of my most favorite artists by far👍

Prodigy is T5DOA right next to jadakiss

If P thought it was funny and it didn't bother him, why he tryna hurt Jay Z?

Is that 9th Wonder with the headphones and camera on the side of Prodigy?

is that pauli the magic man malinaggi ?

Had the Brat with em shoulda had his gat with em

Don't get it twisted.. Prodigy deep down respected Jay coz he knows he's a money man.. & having a rap war with jay will get him more spotlight ..these are the things rappers don't tell you.. How excited they get when a top rapper calls them out...they ain't really mad...

he made everything Changed in my brian...prodigy said that ....no beef its only hiphop..but still,for the wages of sin is death ......satan made everything Changed to in a corrupt evil Way...etc..if you choose for yah everything Changed in a good Way without corruption.yah is over everything,yah is love..yah is righteous,yah is the judge,yah is elohim,yah is the creator.yah is the living word that brings life..yah is the Way the truth and the life through yahoshua....

6:19

RiP P

Real gangster rip P 🙏🏿

Listen I'm a big fan of both jigga n P, but pls let's b honest mobbs career was not the same after jay diss it declined whilst nas career got boosted!

It was funny, but I need guns and 300 peeeeeplz cause my frail ass ego was hurt.

being an artist, musician,etc... is n his blood. #Fossilfactz

His grear grandfather founded morehouse yet his family was left behind to rot in the projects? thats certainly what his music was about.

Jay was scared as fuck 😂

So apparently P could’ve had Jay and Nas killed but let them live.

I know mad people from Queens Jay z need to thank everything that good because if shit would go bad he would a got stomped out.

being from the X we called music from queens thunny music. simply cuz mob was low but ran the queens sound. they got solidified when pac screamed they name.

RIP P! 🙏🙏🙏

Prodigy is a better rapper then Jay Z

Jordan and pac both did that shit too ballet and all that

FIRE REAL HIP HOP RIP PRODIGY

would've been a legendary story if P and his crew followed through and jumped Jay. Jay might've been right about it just being rap but he for sure approached P like that so he wouldn't get beat

ThaT wuZa cLeveR gimmick buT, ThaT did NOT diminiSh my Opinion of MisTer Prodigy one ioTa.

Jay cant even come back to Marcy, he gotta come back in the wee hrs of the morning with Oprah Winfrey, not gangsta at all🤷🏾‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

Good build up to the question

Prodigy was a child, like any other child imitating another famous black artist which Michael Jackson. Prodigy was not wearing a ballerina outfit, so Jay Z lied right in front of those people eyes and they cheered it on like immature brainless followers. Jay Z will never go down in the hip/hop books as better than Prodigy, Jay Z sucks.
