Few have shaped modern-day rap aesthetics like Mobb Deep, and if you want more of a fix on these guys then you're in for a treat. Havoc and Prodigy tell the tale of their journey through hip-hop’s mean streets in this article: daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2013/11/mobb-deep-interview-2013

[@sparkzmentalz2]

Dope interview right here. Dynamic duo of hip hop.

[@erictubbs6854]

Up North Trip and Q.U. Hectic were always my favourite Mobb Deep Tracks

I love how much of a fan the interviewer is of these two QB legends. RIP HNIC RIP My mom too i cant ever rip anyone without also including the one that gave me the ability to. Peace and ❤

[@jacksonheights35]

The sample Havoc was talking about was Patrice Rushen - Where there is love. Sample for temperatures rising

[@samrose3205]

And the other song that sparked the idea for the title and theme was Quincy Jones' Temperatures Rising

I learn something new everyday...😎👍

Damn😞 i fucking miss prodigy so much. That infamous album was the first album i copped as a kid. I heard alot of rap but when i heard mobb deep it was over. Prodigy from jump was my fav rapper shit my whole hood knew prodigy was my fav rapper and still do..

[@moscokidd3813]

Been looking for this for years! Mobb Deep forever!...forever and ever...

[@greglongmore6503]

I want to put words to something. It wasn't that we benefitted from the music or the group, but the actual friendship. One of the illest friendships in hip hop, and the music, etc. was a product of that. RIP P

[@octagonseventynine1253]

Havoc talked a lot of shit about P. They weren’t really friends towards the end, they were business partners.

[@greglongmore6503]

@@octagonseventynine1253 He is on tape saying when they got to Vegas they were restarting the friendship. He's said it several times. I had a best friend who talked plenty shit about me, last conversation I had with him was at his funeral. I'm positive we would have made up by now. It's like that between brothers sometimes.

[@Sam98hiphop]

R.I.P PRODIGY!!! Very beautiful interview. This is part of history!

[@oscarhenriquez8899]

Interviewer such a goober, so many loaded questions.

[@dangerose9210]

Fr can't stand it compared to the recent ones where they really flow this guys like tell me this story tell me that one. He's at the music academy and doesn't even want to talk about music

[@DigitalOdyssey3001]

Facts! Some of it feels forced and unauthentic. But Havoc and Prodigy are great.

[@wm2922]

Interviewer is deep in the culture too. At one point he tells the audience to shout out all the crews influenced by mobb Depp. If that's not a respectful interviewer then what is?

[@sparkzmentalz2]

SIP Prodigy, salute Havoc. Mobb Deep definitely hip hip icons.

[@CarterSosasWorld]

[@brittainpurcelle5611]

I'm glad I found this nugget. A person would be hard pressed to convince me that he's a bigger mobb deep fan than me. Then my favorite rap group. I put run DMC before them because they are run DMC but technically mobb deep is my favorite group because I listen to them and hardly ever listen to any run DMC except when I'm feeling really nostalgic. Mob deep is my guys. Prodigy forever. Havoc forever. Hav, You stepped it up something stupid. I've been in prison most of my life staying in tune.

[@willbeify]

I really miss Prodigy, RIP Prodigy. Mobb Deep one of favorite group Havoc with those ill beats and lyrics with Prodigy, word!!!!!!

Dude actually is a fan of the album. Only a real fan would ask the questions he asked. I actually thought dude paid homage. Seen so many interviews where you can tell they don’t really value the artist’s work.

Dude actually told the crowd to list all the groups the Prodigy influenced, if that's not respectful interviewer then what is?
