[quote=excerpt]Mobb Deep’s Prodigy has died, a representative for the rapper has confirmed. “Prodigy was hospitalized a few days ago in Vegas after a Mobb Deep performance for complications caused by a sickle cell anemia crisis,” their statement reads. “As most of his fans know, Prodigy battled the disease since birth. The exact causes of death have yet to be determined.” News first broke of the rapper’s passing when Nas posted a photo of him to his Instagram with the caption “QB RIP King P.” He was 42.

the record is embedded into hip-hop history and can only be praised for further extending the respect for the genre as a whole.

hip hop that is raw and true don't get forgotten.

Damn, 42 is still really young.

Shook Ones, Survival of the Fittest, and Hell on Earth are some of the GOAT.

Awful awful news... The Infamous is a true example of a classic, timeless album. A legend lost.

He had Sickle Cell, in which the average life expectancy is 40-60. Oldest living person with the disease is 62 I think? Horrible disease, hopefully this raised awareness.

I hope to never forget when I was younger i ran into Havoc of Mobb with MOP from G-unit in Amsterdam and what seemed like a posse of 100 people, I wish i could have seen them live together.
