Prodigy released his new solo album Hegelian Dialectic: The Book Of Revelation, yesterday (January 20), following the release of his EDM-inspired EP.
The title of the album comes from German philosopher G.W.F. Hegel who explored the oppositions of subjects instead of people, as the Greek school of thought taught.
On Instagram, the Mobb Deep rapper further shared the concept of the album, calling it “name brand intelligent gangsta shit” in a post with a clip for “Tyranny” and a joke about Donald Trump’s presidential campaign slogan.
Hegelian Dialectic: The Book Of Revelation is made up of 14 songs, including the single “Mystic,” which dropped back in July.
Last year, Prodigy was busy touring with his Commissary Kitchen: My Infamous Prison Cookbook. The book was banned in the California corrections system.

Shit is trash for real
worth a listen at all?
i dun told yo ass its trash stay away from it
only for the enlightened. Open your mind before you listen to it, it´s def worth a listen
I think it’s killing bad dope actually.
Not feeling some of the beats
From H.N.I.C to this? WTF.
Ballerina P has to have the most pathetic solo career out of any rapper, especially after King HOV buried him. King HOV really brought out the worst in this nigga. Nothing but trash lyrics over shitty beats. QB stays losing.
Get a life you fucking troll
I can see dis hhdx I’m readin’, readers of this mag ain’t got a clue of Hip hop nor Rap. Think this is the best solo effort of Prodigy yet.
Don’t trust these comments, please form your own opinion, we have enough o’ deez sheeps in this world already.
It’s a solid album…
Not for the feeble-minded. If you want thought-provoking lyrics, grown man hiphop, and that NY feel, bump it
Can’t wait to pick this up. Listened to it twice it was great. Prodigy outdid himself I wasn’t expecting such strong material.
Great fuckin album
Album is dope! for the enlightened only. if you lookin for trap musik, this aint it.
most underrated rappers of all time top 5 rappers of all time fucc what a hater say! Sicc album (broken rappers, mystic, snakes, no religion, good fight, tyranny, spiritual war maybe two or 3 songs that are whatever ) at first I wasn’t feeling it the second time I herd it I realized it’s dope! This is something different! 4/5
And don’t get me wrong i’m a big time fan of the 2nd and 3rd Mobb Deep albums but after that shit went downhill fast and P solo shit always wack like the shit he did with j3w producer Alchemist and named the project after another j3w (Albert Einstein)
P, if you’re gonna preach throughout the album to try to help black people become more socially aware of what we are doing to ourselves, you still have to make it dope. In other words, make people want to listen to your album and feel something in your music, other than your name. You ain’t the old Prodigy anymore, but that doesn’t mean you can’t deliver the positive lines in your trademark gangster flow.
We have come a long way since “The Infamous” and “Hell On Earth”.. and not in a good way. Those two albums are straight up classics.
Listen here, son. “Broken Rappers” was written for you, your favorite rapper, and your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper. It’s not 1996.
I don’t like this album
Top 5 DOA. You MFers saying he hasn’t been nice since early Mobb Deep just aren’t LISTENING. You’re stuck to the nostalgia of your teen years. Grow up and move forward, your favorite rappers are still nice, you’ve just become too lazy to listen.
beats are pretty good but his lyrics and flow has been lost for years nows. it almost seems like someone was writing his rhymes in the early stages of his career. maybe he just got lazy. i used to think he was one the illest emcees
I don’t understand this. I hear people say the same thing about Jay-Z and Lil’ Wayne who are also both leaps and bounds nicer than they used to be, and wonder what people are listening to. All I see is incredible progression from Prodigy. He’s so much more polished than he used to be, with way more substance and versatility. I really just think people don’t have the patience to listen anymore. That, or they just hate you when you change, even if it’s for the better. Rap fans are the most fickle of any genre.
man you didn´t listen to the album right? His lyrics are his BEST EVER on Hegelian Dialectic. That´s why they silenced him. Maybe they went over your head bro.
Prodigy just doesn’t bring the energy anymore and hasn’t since Americas Most… (circa 2003). Alchemist I hasn’t helped with his monotonous beats.
You’re nuts
New 2Pac. Love this shit.
I think there comes a time when rappers should just simply retire and move on to something else. Especially since hip hop doesn’t exist anymore, you know what I mean, homies!? RIP HIP HOP.
Y’all hater dummies need to stfu and open your ears to the legend, well crafted and experienced human being and the Hellova artist.
For starters, Im from Queens and have heard mobb deep from the beginning. Prodigy was always one of the greats that had me at the edge of mt seat. He isnt the same in flow ad did slow down, you do hear a hint of the old him.in some tracks but the production is fuckin GORILLA!! He got a good team, butcha beats! The alchemist, budgie, followed that cat from the “good book” I thought the album was a B+ i loved it. Had to hear it a few times and for it to soak in but im impressed. NOW that mobb album.that the alchemist is supposes to produce.. Whats up with that?
It’s annoying to have to pay attention a whole album of lyrics when the whole shit puts you to sleep. A couple of sleep songs fine but for real you need some shit that gets you hyped in there. I bug out that these rappers and producers don’t notice that every song that’s a classic is something that’s banging. The slow ass shit could be cool but not as the whole shit
Bro you just don’t understand.. it’s like zen music it gets you to relax answers think about what she really going on . But you wouldn’t get it because your sleep if you open ya mind and stop thinking about the normal you would catch everything he talking about
Roc Marci stole P’s vibe & now just rocks it better…
This is what hip-hop is. Fire! Make no mistakes.
helluva post
Pfff Alot of you souls are missing the memo here
Google Hegelian dialect and how it impacts us!
Iknow yall miss the flow but this album was about the messages, Knowledge and his wisdom! Yall either way to comfy with life as it is!!!
To blind and deaf too reallly understand what this album is about..
