Prodigy Describes Recording “Hardcore Female Songs” For “H.N.I.C. 3”

    Those who have listened to Prodigy’s H.N.I.C. 3 album may have noticed more than a few songs directed at the ladies. In an interview with MTV News, the Mobb Deep emcee explains why he took this approach.

    “I decided to create female songs, but hardcore female songs,” said P, who said his song “Pretty Thug” was inspired by The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Me and My Bitch.”

    Prodigy cautioned, however, that his album was not a lighthearted affair. “It’s not like it’s some lite-FM records where we’re trying to get radio spins. Most of the female songs on this album, they’re not gonna play on the radio. It’s a little bit too hard-core.”

    Prodigy described his first entry in the H.N.I.C. series as “street, gutter. It was almost like a Mobb Deep feel,” whereas the second was “more of a revolutionary, rebel-type thing.”

    “With this [album] right here, I was like, ‘How can I make this different?’ Something new,” he added.

      1. wow….theres always one nigga who goes there when everyone else is chillin. got something u trying to tell us nigga?

    5. A bunch of “hardcore female songs”?? Since when do ladies check for Prodigy joints? Very strange. No need for excuses. HNIC 3 is a disaster of an album. Not really much more to say about it than that. In all honesty, I was never even a fan of the first HNIC joint.

    6. lmao… dis nigga is da biggest bitch in da rap game. Drake and Weezy are more popular cut they have more skills… swag

    7. You niggas forget!Show respect to a Vet..Prodigy has always held it down.Mobb deep forever!HNIC is crack,Heard the street leak 5 song shit,Dope.Cant wait for whole thing.

    8. No Joke….I love the older work of Mobb Deep and the HNIC3 mixtape is not so bad….but damn P what the fuck where you thinking with the album. I cant listen to it. Havoc is dissin the livin daylight outta you with his ‘same shit different day’ song. And that song sounds Mobb Deep….HNIC3 sounds lazy as fuck.

    9. Pretty thug???? get the fuck outta here.
      You can get shot 4 callin a thug pretty WTF
      Or is that what all these metrosexuals wanna sell us…to be cute and adorable

    10. Mobb Deep fans are mad cuz Prodigy flopped. THE INFAMOUS is overrated as hell, there is no good beat on dat album, I cant dance to dat shit in da club. ma dad bumpin dat shit in da car and my ears are bleeding… I wanna heart TAKE CARE and CARTER 4 in da ride. my dad is too old. he dont know shit bout real music…. lmao. swag

      1. Your dad plays Mob Deep?….What are you 12? LOL..Your not even old enough to get in the club..LOL!!!!

    11. Almost all the hip hop coming out these days is made for the females. Especially mainstream hip hop.
      HNIC3 sucks. I am not liking the new write a book to sellout the hood P.
      How can you ever use the name MOBB DEEP when you Henry Hill on your close ones

    12. Award show life sound like a bitch made diva
      Somebody close to P slap him in the face for that one

    13. I also wasn’t feeling HNIC3. It sounds too commercial for Mobb Deep. Pretty Thug was a little confusing as a single because your not gonna call your woman a pretty thug whether she has street knowledge or not,.

    14. I think HNIC 3 is ill. At first, I was mad because it has so many songs about bitches, and it had some trappy songs on it, but I can’t even front, all those songs are dope. To me it’s his best solo album. Plus, lyrically, Prodigy is at the top of his game right now. He’s got mad styles, flows, crazy ass rhyme patterns….I love that album.

    15. Mobb Deep needs to do an album with the most controversial, misunderstood, bottle throwing crooner out there today… Drake.
