Stop Stealing Your Fashion, Liquor, And Life Choices From Mobb Deep

Have you ever drunk lime-flavored Bacardi? Worn Timberland boots? Made a web site? WELL STOP BITING FROM PRODIGY OF MOBB DEEP YOU FAKE ASS SHOOK ONE. HOW DARE YOU QUESTION HIS TREND SETTING? It turns out that Prodigy, the soon-to-be-jailed Queens rapper, is responsible for many of the innovations in music, clothing, and the world at large, so SHOW SOME RESPECT.

Big P is getting ready for an extended stay in lockdown, but he's trying to cement his legacy for the world before he goes via his blog, by posting an extensive list of TRENDS PRODIGY HAS SET SINCE 1992 AND STILL IS SETTING IN 2008 AND BEYOND:

#5 HOW I FOLD MY BANDANA

#8 MADE DRINKIN HENNESSY, E&J, LIME BACARDI, 151 POPULAR (nothin to be proud of)

#13 MURDA MUSIC,,EVERYBODY USES MY BLOOD SPLASH NOW

#18 TIMBERLAND BOOTS...THESE RACIST FUCC'S OWE US MILLIONS. THEY NEVER DO AD'S USING BLACK PEOPLE OR RAPPERS AS MUCH AS WE PROMOTED THEY SHIT.

#19 WEB SITES, I HAD INFAMOUSSTORES.COM AND WAS WRITING BLOGS BACK IN 99 LONG BEFORE IT BECAME POPULAR IN HIP HOP TO HAVE A WEB SITE.

#23 MAKING EXPOSING THE ILLUMINATI, SECRET GOVERNMENT AND HIDDEN TRUTHS THAT NEW HOT SHIT

Many of you owe Prodigy some royalties, we suspect. Have your checks waiting when he gets out.

(Honestly, he will always be cool with us, mainly because of TREND #22: NO MORE FLASHY, DANCY, RADIO FREINDLY , CLUB SONGS..HOW DARE YOU QUESTION MY TREND SETTING, LOOK AT WHAT I BRING TO THE TABLE.)

(The end of which is also a good way to close any argument with anybody about anything).

Great shot of Big P outside of the Baruch projects, Hamilton. That's Manhattan hip-hop to the fullest.

I went to high school with these cats. Back then, Prodigy was known as Pee-Wee (true story). He had these leather jackets in the craziest colors. Fun times, fun times.

He makes an excellent point about Timberland boots. They would be nothing without rap cred.
