Rappers React To The Prodigy "Firestarter"

[@GoldenBoots77]

RIP Keith . Such a gentle soul . He was the living proof that you can’t judge a book by its cover . What a dude .

[@Cleve_Crudgington]

James Blunt posted a really nice anecdote after Keith died. "At the Q Awards years ago, when Noel Gallagher was saying he was leaving Ibiza because I’d moved there, and Damon Albarn refused to be in the same picture as me, and Paul Weller was saying he’d rather eat his own shit than work with me, Keith Flint came over, gave me a hug, and said how thrilled he was for my success. Keith, I only met you once, but I shed a tear at the news of your death. In our business, there are no prizes for being kind, but if there was, that Grammy would be yours."

[@monikabeki6838]

As a kid from the UK growing up in the 90s, I can categorically say that my parents generation did not hate on my generations music. My dad would listen to his old Led Zeppelin records, as well as as my Prodigy and Rammstein CDs. My dad even brought a Fugees album that I used to "borrow" from time to time.

[@Nightdominia]

Firestarter started and I remembered the lyrics to Breathe.😁

[@prodigy84bg]

Not really a techno band, but rather an electronic band, as techno is just a sub-genre of electronic music. Their first official biography is titled "Electronic Punks", which I think describes their style pretty well. Also, they only had a live guitarist who occasionally might have played bass guitar for some tracks, which originally don't have guitar riffs, rather than a dedicated bassist. When they first added a guitarist to the live line up, he would come out on stage only for the tracks that had guitar riffs, which were only a couple at that point, but in later years he would remain on stage for pretty much the whole show, even if less than half of the tracks had guitar riffs.

Paid up rock / metal fan here. The Prodigy were one of the finest bands I ever saw live, they were a force of nature. Through my work at a hotel I looked after them after an appearance at a festival, a nicer, more amicable group you couldn’t wish to meet. We had a wedding in the hotel at the same time as they were staying and at about one in the morning I’m stood in the hotel bar looking across a gathering of wedding guests who are rubbing shoulders with The Prodigy who are happily chatting away about missing their families ‘cause they were on tour and all are showing each other photos of their children on the phones, weirdly enough The Streets were with us the same night, sadly he’s a jumped up prick who refused to talk to anyone and he brought an entourage to fill a tour bus, The Prodigy? A people carrier and a quiet assurance that they didn’t need an entourage. Top band, top blokes and a blast live. RIP Keith.

The music is Liam Howlett. They started with dancers but two of this three dancers became hype men: MC Maxim Reality and Keith Flint (rip). Leroy was the other dancer. As others have said, they’d tour also with a guitarist and drummer. Their electro sound crossed over to punk/metal and brought listeners in from these genres.

[@PeteBaldwin]

Saw a video that explained this song a bit more. Keith had never sung on a Prodigy song before and after Liam wrote it as an instrumental, he decided it needed some lyrics. Whilst looking for some samples, Keith said "let me sing on it." This what he came up with... Apparently the lyrics are basically about himself in the band. His job was to get the crowd fired up - the firestarter....

Interesting story with Prodigy and Tool: Back in 1995, before Justin Chancellor had auditioned for Tool, The Prodigy had asked him to play guitar for them at their live shows while he was still living in London.... he ultimately turned it down. Years later in 1997, Tool headlined the Lollapalooza tour with The Prodigy in the lineup... they were huge Tool fans and would watch Tool play from the side of the stage every night on tour. I believe back in the 90s there wasnt the specific sub-genre descriptions we have today... I always knew them as being 'Electronica' along with artists like Daft Punk, Moby, The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, The Crystal Method, to name a few.

The Prodigy is one of the very few acts able to penetrate the UK metal scene and be welcomed. When I was going to the rock clubs in the 00s Prodigy would be played right between Goth and Death Metal.

They should have been on the main stage, the audience was massive. Keith Flint was also one of the loveliest guys, according to apparently everyone who ever met him.

Rip Keith. *Smack my bitch up" back in the day Mtv wouldn't play the video till after 9pm.

[@mikethemotormouth]

Yep unfortunately they ran the video for two weeks between the hours 2-4 am and always with a disclaimer

This is a form of breakbeat where originally the drum pattern is completely formed from drumbreaks. In the same way original hiphop used drum breaks mixed on turntables breakbeat programs drumbreaks rather than mix them.

You should definitely give The Prodigy „Smack my bitch up“ a go. The official video is bonkers RIP KeithFlint

Grew up with this on TV in the late 90's at 10am on Sunday morning. RIP Keith.

You have to watch any of their songs live in Russia. You don’t know what a hype crowd is until you watch that…..

[@robdaniel3211]

Seriously watch The Day is My Enemy live in Russia.

[@knittingnickel]

Totally love that by the end, you had your own 2-man rave going! 🤘 Still a banger!! Thanks for doing this one, you guys! Keep it coming! ❤

Приятно видеть, как музыка моей жизни качает людей увидевших и услышавших впервые это. Пасиб. Привет из Украины.

Firestarter came out in 1996. I always thought he was dressed as a human cannon ball like in old black and white clips from the circus. More popular songs from the Prodigy: Breathe, No Good, Voodoo People, Out of Space, Smack My Bitch Up (uncensored video)

[@NetProphet76]

That was a lot of fun. Check out Hertz by Amyl and The Sniffers, hearing Keith’s accent come through so clearly in the lyrics reminded me of them

R.I.P. Keith Flint i love prodigy one of my most favorite songs is Breathe.

[@pippafinland]

As a punk and metal chick I have always loved this band. That deep sound with a bit of madness - ah, the best! Makes you do the stink face. 🤘🏻 Rest in peace, Keith 💔❤ Love your reactions! Edit: Just subscribed, so keep it coming!

Prodigy was played along side all genres of metal when i was clubbing in Manchester (UK) back in late 90s early 2000s always got everyone up dancing, saw them live once as well, wish it was more.

I grew up and love The Prodigy from their early days they were part of our music staple back in the days... my favorite is still "Breathe..." and "Smack my Bitch Up". But they have some many good songs...
