    Default Prodigy - "The Hegelian Dialectic: The Book of Heroine" (2022)



    Tracklist

    1. You Will See (feat. Berto Rich)
    2. Walk Out (feat. DJ Premier)
    3. Opium Poppy
    4. Angel (feat. Faith Evans)
    5. We Shine (feat. Berto Rich)
    6. Dope
    7. You Don’t Want It (feat. Big Daddy Kane & DJ Scratch)
    8. I Heart You
    9. Overdose (feat. Remy Ma)
    10. Escapism
    11. Flirting with Death (feat. Chinky & Big Noyd)
    12. The Other Side







    This new posthumous Prodigy (R.I.P.) album "The Book of Heroine" is disappointing to me. It's topically redundant, the beats are hit or miss, and the features apart from Noyd sound record label appointed- though Big Daddy Kane does spit an excellent tribute verse.
    The album also lacks cohesive structure, there's nothing tying the tracks together apart from subject matter. "The Book of Revelation" took the listener on a journey, complete with an intro setting the premise of the record, and informative interludes linking the tracks together. This is completely absent from "The Book of Heroine", it's simply a disjointed collection of love songs, connected by theme alone.
    Overall it's refreshing to hear Prodigy's voice and come away with a few solid redeemable songs, however the album as a whole leaves much more to be desired, and resembles an exploitative cash grab in the same vein as the posthumous Sean Price and DMX album releases.

    Appreciate your honesty and can tell you’re a true fan.

    Do you think this album would be better with the sample clearances (what I read) or the subject matter just isn’t your thing?

    Maybe Book 3 will be better (what I read) it could have better sample clearances.

    I'll give it a spin but the singles and promo are not promising.

    Would have been better off giving the verses to Havoc and letting him finish it up as a Mobb Deep record, or Alchemist could have put something together. I guess Hav is still working on that unfinished MD album?
