    Default Prodigy - H.N.I.C

    (2000)

    IMO a pretty ill album in places. Felt a review was worthwhile. I love some of the beats on here.

    1. Intro - skit to skip

    2. Genesis - 5/5 -

    the beat is one of the most atmospheric and moody beats I can remember even for a Mobb Deep album. No one ryhmes better over a dark beat than P imo.

    3. Drive Thru - skit to skip

    4. Rock Dat Shit - 2/5 -

    Beat is pretty lively ibut it sounds a bit commercial. I just dont like the chorus.

    5. What U Rep - 3.5/5 -

    Beat is fucking ill. I thought Nore was fucking up this track though with his annoying self.

    6. Keep it Thoro - 5/5 -

    Classic imo this Alcemist beat has got to be one of the best he ever done. Ive heard P spit better though thats not including the "keep it thoro" part. I like his 2nd verse aswell.

    7. Cant Complain - 2.5/5 -

    Prodigy produced track its OK nothing special. Its listenable. I dont like twin gambino or Chinky so loses points there.

    8. Infamous Minded - 2.5/5 -

    Has an old skool feel and of course hes taking the "criminal minded" chorus. Its aiiight, not special though.

    9. Wanna be Thugs - 4/5 -

    imo Havoc kills it on the chorus and beat simple trademark from him but captures the mood well. Its that pissed off Mobb style perfect.

    10. Three (feat Cormega) - 4.5/5 -

    Mega rips shit up as usual, he actually shows up P with his verse. Nice piano beat, perect beat for Mega aswell. One of my favorite Mega verses.

    11. Delt W/Bullshit - 3/5 -

    Slow Havoc track its alright.

    12. Trials of Love - 3/5 -

    Gave it 3 cuz it has a nice Tru Master style beat. The female MC "Mz Bars" is wack.

    13. H.N.I.C - 4/5 -

    Nice strings on the beat. P just rapping about how good he is at everything.

    14. Be cool skit - just like ironman skits

    15. Veterans Memorial - 3.5/5 -

    Nice reminisce track about a lost friend. P shows soem emotion on this and shows he has some talent for storytelling.

    16. Do it - 1.5/5 -


    Dont like it.

    17. Littles - just a littles accapella - mediocre

    18. Y.B.E - 1.5/5

    Nah

    19. Diamond - 2/5 -



    20. Gun Play (feat Big Noyd) - 2/5 -

    Not bad...

    21. You can never feel my pain - 5/5 -

    My second favorite track ill just put the lyrics here and you can decide for yourself. But this track P was doing this type of personal rapping before Jay Z on blueprint.

    Nineteen seventy four, motherfucker I was born with pain
    My moms and my pops pass it down to me
    So don't talk to me about can I feel yours
    Cause I ain't feelin you at all, your pain isn't pure
    You cryin cause you broke from the projects
    That's not pain, that's emotions, you a bitch
    Im talkin bout permanent, physical sufferin
    You know nothin about that
    You just complain cause you stressed
    Nigga, my pain's in the flesh
    And through the years that pain became my friend; sedated
    with morphine as a little kid
    I built a tolerance for drugs, addicted to the medicine
    Now hospital emergency treat me like a fiend
    I rather die sometimes I wish a nigga O.D.
    Beggin God for help, only to find
    that I'm all by my God damn self
    Ay you can never feel my pain nigga


    And the females ask - P, why you always look mad?
    Don't mind me if I may come off like that
    But see, a nigga depressed, I need smoke
    I need me a drink, I'm tryin to stop those
    Experience life, through the shoes of me
    What you find, is you can't do that, you ain't built for it
    The impact I put on this earth
    It's like nuttin that you ever seen or heard; so look listen
    When I speak, sit up in your seat
    Pay attention to the words, cause the story is deep
    In and out of crisis, since before I could walk
    It gave me strength though, nowadays I hardly talk
    It made me cold-hearted, anti, I won't play sports
    I barely joke or play games, take it how you want
    My handicap took its toll on my sanity
    My moms got me at the shrink at like 13
    And doctors called the cops on me
    Cause I be throwin IV poles and they ignore me
    I gotta, try to calm down and breathe
    I can only hold it but for so long; put me to sleep
    Do I sound insane... if I do, then this here was written for you
    Cause you could never feel the pain nigga


    Overall then pretty good LP in places much better than most of the shit out now.

    Can't Complain and Gun Play was the best songs... Big Noyd always kills the Mobb when he's on their records.. Great album though, but it had some weak spots.. It's the last album before P really killed himself lyrically.. But that was already starting on the Murda Muzik album..

    I was very disappointed with this album. My favorite joints is Keep It Thoro, Wanna Be Thugs, Delt With The Bullshit. I also like the joint with Noreaga. I wish Noreaga wasn't on that song LOL.

    This Is A Personal Classic For Me Maybe 1 Or 2 Songs Are Bad This Is A Cd I Can Put On And Not Worry About Pushin This Skip Button. Diamond, What U Rep, Keep It Thoro, Wannabe Thugs, Gun Play, H.N.I.C, Gensis, And Three Are All Top Notch Songs. The Rest Are At The Least Solid.

    The whole album is dope.


    But one track that people may not like is YBE. But I think thats dope as hell. Even BG. is kinda raw on it.

    H.N.I.C is a classic in my eyes. Proably one of the most slept on albums ever just cause it did'nt move a bunch of units. The album has is it all, nice beats by havoc, alchemist, bink dog, ez elpee, rockwilder, ric rude, just blaze. The guest spots are thoro, cormega, havoc, big noyd, noreaga, and even B.G. kills it. This was the start of the ending for P though, dude fell off hard after this album, I think he just put so much into this album and when it did'nt pop off he just gave up.

    ^^ well it's not an indie release, it dropped on Loud Records. It's a dope album though, many great tracks coupled with some that are less good but all-in-all most of the joints is nice. "Keep It Thoro", "H.N.I.C.", "You Can Never Feel My Pain", "Veteran's Memorial", "Trials of Love" and others are classic Mobb shit.

    3.5/5
