 Prodigy's debut proved he was the "Head N***a In Charge" [4 stars] May 23, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Prodigy, one half of the group of Mobb Deep, came out with his debut in mid-late 2000 called H.N.I.C. When I first heard this album was the first time I heard Mobb Deep, and fell in love with it right away.
Just about all the cuts are mostly uptown grimy normal Queensbrigde cuts. Some are dark as heard on the second track called "Genesis" and on the track "Three" which features Cormega, where Prodigy enforces the quote "Queensbridge heads don't play..."
P's lyrical content is also swell behind the mic. On the lead single "Keep It Thoro" where he says "I throw a TV at you crazy/ b*****s say 'P you crazy'/ a pain in the a**, nah but f*** you, pay me..." Or on the story about cops accusing them of a murder on the next track "Can't Complain" which features Twin Gambino of The Infamous Mobb. "Infamous Minded" if you haven't noticed, is that it borrows BDP's song "Criminal Minded", a track that features Big Noyd and Havoc doing the ad-libs. Speaking of Hav, the other half of Mobb Deep, he makes two more appearances on the songs "Wanna Be Thugs" and "Delt With The Bulls**t". One of the best tracks is "Y.B.E." (was that another single?) which features former Cash Money/Hot Boy's member B.G. The second to last track on the album "You Could Never Feel My Pain" Prodigy talks about his genetic disease Sicle Cell and what he has been going through with the problems.
There are some tracks I didn't like that much. "Rock Dat Sh**" which uses elements from the Mobb Deep hit back in 1999 "Quiet Storm (remix)" to make the hook. The track "Diamond" sounds okay which features local QB group Bars & Hooks.
Overall Prodigy proves to Mobb Deep fans that he can carry a solo album while his friends from QB come and make a few appearances (Havoc, Noreaga, Noyd, Cormega, and others). Like I said, this was the frist Mobb Deep album that I purchaced and enjoyed mosy of it from beginning to end. Recommended to Mobb Deep fans or people who like what classics have came from QB in the past.

Good album January 26, 2005

This was a very good album. I just wanted to say though that P was not born in Queensbridge, like one of the reviewers said he was. He was born and raised in the town of Hempstead in Nassau County.
Great solo Debut - 4.5 stars December 23, 2004
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Prodigy finally dropped his long awaited solo debut album, and the wait was worth it. Packed with 18 songs, there is no weak track and it has 3 classics, 3 that are almost classic material, a few are ok (2 or 3) with the remaining songs being good or great. Guests are somewhat limited to fellow Queensbridge dwellers and BG of Cash Money. Production is very good. Havoc & ALChemist each do 3 songs, Prodigy & Rockwilder each do 2, Bing One, Hangmen3, Robert Kirkland, EZ Elpee, Just Blaze & Rick Rude all do 1. There are gangsta songs but also a few deep songs P spits from his heart. A must have rap album for fans of real gangsta rap.
