This week started off shitty and it just got worse for me today. I was on the phone catchin' up with @_revisionary_ after a session, when he told me, "Yo, you heard the news? Prodigy died. They talkin' 'bout it all over the Twitter timeline." Taken by surprise, with awe and disbelief, I got silent. After checking for myself, I couldn't believe it was true. One of my idols, a hip-hop legend is gone. We all knew he was dealing with his illness for some time, but never could I have imagined him passing at the age of just 42. Someone I grew up bumpin' and had all the Mobb Deep and solo projects on CD and downloaded. I probably felt this more than what I felt with MJ and Prince, simply because he was one of the voices of an entire generation of hip-hop that influenced me and made me fall in love with the art. When you hear Prodigy's voice, you hear the voice of New York in its purest, rawest essence. Gold like that is hard to come by these days. My heart goes out to Havoc and everyone else that was close to him. I'm devastated today, but I know the Gawd is in a better place now. Rest in Glory, King. You will forever be The Infamous and your soul, timeless... #RIP #NYC #TORCH #Prodigy #HipHop #MobbDeep #RestInGlory #TheInfamous #TheUNLimitedEra (at Queensbridge, New York)
