Though Jay-Z and Nas were able to reconcile their differences, it has always seemed a remote possibility for Hov to ever work with the other target from his notorious diss “Takeover”: Mobb Deep.
Not so, it seems, as Prodigy and Havoc recently entertained that very possibility.
The subject came up in an interview with MTV’s RapFix Live, during which Sway Calloway asked the Queensbridge duo about where they stood regarding Jay-Z, having recently worked with his artist Jay Electronica on “Call of Duty: MW3.”
“We was at Jay’s studio,” explained Havoc, to which P added, “I was on the phone with J. Cole the next day, congratulating him on his album. We supposed to be doing some work with him, too.”
When Sway opined it was time to get Jay-Z on a track, Prodigy responded, ““Tell [Jay-Z] to get in the studio…He gotta come to Infamous Studios in Queens, though.”
“It’s just Hip Hop, man. Making good songs. Everything else is irrelevant. All the feelings…all of that is irrelevant,” conceded P.

50 aint gon like this lol
I never understood this about these lil rap beefs, how they be cool with each other
After Jay put those “Baby Pictures” of Prodigy up at Summer Jam, Mobb Deep never went platinum again, they never recovered
Does P even realize how many millions upon millions of dollars Jay made you lose by doing that???……… And you just gonne be cool with the guy who fucked you over like that??
wouldnt be me
WTF!!!!! Theyre desperate. Mobb Sleep must need money bad. We cant sell, We need Jigga to save us. Pathetic!….but then again….They havent had a hit since Quiet Storm……Their better off just sampling him since I doubt he’ll work with them.
Lmao init, betraying a brand they’ve built up since the Infamous. There will be different perceptions of this untimely alliance with Camel Cigarette’s mascot…
Yeah, I think a track with Jay would be done just to get some more exposure. I’d be very surprised if Jay did anything with these guys.
Really going out your way to say some dumb shit. The only wack album they’ve put out since Murda Muzik was Blood Money, in most people’s opinions. Prodigy dropped two classics(HNIC 1, Return Of The Mac) since then and Mobb Deep collectively continue to drop solid, pop free music. If you can’t get with that you got no business near Hip Hop period.
^^^^^^
You lack reading skills if you cant see what I was saying
I’ll break it down slower for all you short bus riders out there
P NEVER SOLD RECORDS AGAIN AFTER THAT JAY STUNT AT SUMMER JAM, I NEVER SAID A FUCKING WORD ABOUT THE QUALITY OF SAID ALBUMS THAT DIDNT SELL SHIT, I WAS COMMENTING ON HOW BAD JAY FUCKED THERE MOMENTUM UP AND STOP THEM FROM MAKING ALOT MORE MONEY THAT THEY COULD HAVE
Sutter Kane
My reading skills are intact, yours however may not be. Seeing as you did not comment on the quality of The Mobb’s albums and I was clearly going at “Anonymous” who did reference the quality of music, you may want to retract your aimless comment towards me.
Nobody cares about 50 no more hehe lol
I’m all for it. Some great music can be made with Jay and the Mobb on a track together. People Hate because it’s exactly what they don’t want to see happen. Hope it happens sooner than later.
If P collaborates with Jay Z after the way Jay fucked his career up, he just has no self respect at all, lol
How did Jay fuck Mobb Deep’s career up? The beef did zero long term damage to Prodigy. In fact, P has made more money and sold more records since the beef occurred. The Mobb is continuing to put out hot shit and their career is still moving. Plus, Havoc remains one of Hip Hop’s most sought after producers.
@ Up North
Really??
None of their albums have received a plaque since 2001, so i doubt that “P has made more money and sold more records since the beef occurred”. Their career was certainly fucked up you dumb ass!
Why would Jay Z even work with these has been bums?
He doesn’t work with any artists these days unless it one of his artists on his label.
Jigga is barely makin features nowadays. So why the fuck would he want to work with Mobb Deep ? And under one condition : he gotta come to Infamous Studios in Queens ? Yeah right … No one is checkin’ for Mobb Deep. Y’all not that big, boy.
Lol Jay z would never work with these 2 fuck ups.
Whats gonna work? Teeeeeaaaamwork! Whats gonna work? Teaamwork!
FUCK GAY Z THEY NEED TO WORK WITH REAL ARTISTS LIKE WAYNE AND DRAKE. THAT WILL OVERPOWER THE WACK EFFECT OF TAKEOVER WHICH WAS WACK
“Real Artists” like WHO? Wayne and Drake? Get the fuck out.
You must be a YMCMB groupie cause theyre faker than a 3 dollar bill.
a mobb deep feat. jay-z & nas song would be a classic
You little fuck I got money stacks bigger than you. You are not ‘deep’, you made your bed now sleep.
It was only a few months ago, this nicca Prodigy was talking about how him and 40 of his punk-ass posse apparently rushed Jay-Z back in the day forcing Jay to tell them it wasn’t nothing personal between them.
Like he’s gonna work with you after you said that… SMH, you blew it right there.
Jay Z is the GOAT.
LOL!
He’s probably top 5 but I wouldn’t say the GOAT. I will say this though, he’s 50000x times better then Mobb Deep.
It is the truth.
there is no GOAT
He’s A goat…
He’s a camel.
Still the greatest ever.
Everybody can tell you how to do it, they never did it
Now these n-ggas is mad, oh they call me a Camel
But I mastered the drought, what the fuck im an animal
he fucks retarded goats
Don’t hold your breath… Jay destroyed their credibility ages ago. Just the fact they’d entertain the possibility of working with him shows how desperate they’re. Broke ass idiots. Get your own shine.
man, u really still into beefing? Can’t hold grudges forever, gotta move on in life. They aint no 18 year olds, HELL even 18 year olds know when to bury the hatchet! they are grown ass fathers, near 40s and jay-z over 40, things are not the same. You dont look at the world the same, Im not near their age, but Ive even learned to forget and forgive, and move on. This beef thing has been done for almost a decade..arnt u bored?
there can be no peace unless mobb deep pays jigga $500,000 minimum for that feature lol.
Jay on a track with Mobb Deep in 2011? RLMAO!!! Ain’t gonna work. They should’ve been done that way back in 95′ when Mobb Deep was poppin’.
Don’t worry, won’t happen, you don’t just go from a lamaze class to mobb deep and record some cocaine 80’s stuff
I just wanna say, thanks HHDX for writing down what they say in the video, cause I can’t watch mtv rapfix videos in my country
me too!
Wow. The fuckery never ceases to amaze. How you ignorant fucks would be so pessimistic towards a Jay/Mobb collab because of beef a decade ago. Why are you jack offs so emotional and swayed about some shit that didn’t concern you. Half you bitches prolly weren’t even walking yet when the shit happened.
Jay, Mobb, make it happen.
Still dont care about them. They died out in the 90’s. Even Jigga cant make them relevant.I love Havoc’s Production though. Just rather hear something new from them besides the same shit. We’ll see what becomes of this.
You don’t care about them, think they died out in the 90s, yet came here to comment that you would rather HEAR something new from them. You confused.
That’ll never happen. When’s the last time you saw Jay-z in any type of hood or place where regular/poor people live?
this would be a good look for hip hop. the beef is like 15 years old. who the fuck cares if they make music now. their old men. dumbasses
No matter what, they still suck. You cant dress up shit all you want but it will still be shit. Give up already, Your Career is over
R.I.P Mobb Sleep 1994-2001
(Takeover Dropped that Year)
Fuck Prodigy. He’s still a bitch.
wasn’t this the same guy blaming jay z for all of this illuminati bs?
yes lol
since prodigy came out the jail he sold out , fuck p
Jay shitted all over them. These lame fucks need to retire.
since prodigy came out the jail he sold out , fuck p
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THEY BOTH NEARLY 40 AND BROKE WHY YOU THINK THEY FUCKING WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE, ITS QUITE SAD REALLY CAUSE I USED TO LOVE MOBB DEEP BACK IN THE DAY BUT NOW THEY LIKE THE LOX AND WILL WORK WITH ANYONE IF THEY GET PAID
HOW YOU KNOW THEY BROKE? UP PROOF. TINYPIC SOMETHING OR FALL BACK AND ENJOY THE MUSIC. THEY JUST GOT A SONY DEAL, GOT ONE? KNOW WHAT THEY GOT UP FRONT AND THE TERMS OF THE DEAL? DO I NEED TO TELL YOU NOW YOU GOSSIPING?
This is pretty terrible considering it was Prodigy saying all that crazy shit about Jay being in the Illuminati a few months back…smh….
He was talking all serious and scared and shit now he want a coloab? Desperate for A check, just A check…lol
^*collab
don’t do it jayz sucks
Does anybody else think its sad how random artists constantly be commenting on Jay and dude ain’t never mentioned them once….
Real weak to me…I find it funny how all the “fans/hater” who be blasting off on Jay on the net, yet lots all yall favorite artists be stroking dude….
Reading then seeing this was real sad…another example of dudes looking for checks
Nah, people just being bigger than the bullshit. By beefin Jay, they’re making him bigger. It brings more attention to what makes them different. That’s what he wants. Collabs don’t hurt, they make both artists better.
WHAT’S SAD IS HOW HYPOCRITICAL AND LAME THE FANS ARE, BECAUSE IF PRODIGY WAS STILL SAYING FCUK JAY, Y’ALL WOULD BE SAYING HE’S HATING AND HE’S TOO OLD TO BE ACTING LIKE THAT AND HE’S JEALOUS OF JAY’S MONEY, BUT WHEN PRODIGY’S SAYING ALL THAT OLD STUFF IS IRRELEVANT, HE’S A SUCKER FOR BEING A GROWN MAN AND HE’S STARVING FOR A CHECK.
AND WHAT’S EVEN SADDER IS PEOPLE ACT LIKE THESE RANDOM ARTISTS HAVE JAY’S NAME IN THEIR MOUTH, WHEN IT’S AN INTERVIEW, PEOPLE ARE ASKING THEM JAY QUESTIONS.
AND ALSO WHAT’S SAD IS HOW MUCH OF A FOLLOWER YOU ARE. SO WHAT SOMEONE’S FAVORITE RAPPER LIKES JAY AND I CHOOSE NOT TO LIKE JAY. SINCE WAYNE WORE LEOPARD LEGGINGS AND HE MAY BE MY FAVE RAPPER’S FAVORITE DOES IT MEANS I SHOULD WEAR LEOPARD LEGGINGS TOO? YOU SOUND LIKE A LITTLE GIRL LIKING SOMETHING BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE LIKED IT ON FACEBOOK OR SOMETHING. GROW SOME BALLS AND BE A MAN.
Mobb Deep need to quit tryna collaborate with muthafukaz that are meant to be poppin now and just make some raw fukin hip hop!!! how can tha people who brought us The Infamous and Hell On Earth be workin with j cole, waka flocka, rick ross!!! i know my comment dont mean shit but hip hops turned fukin awful!!! thank fuck im blessed to own some real fukin hip hop albums!!!
AND YES OTHER PEOPLE THINK J COLE AND J ELEC R WACK 2 HOW U GONA BE JAY Z AND EVERYONE ON UR LABEL IS NAMED J – SOMETHING OR RIHANNA HAHAA, THATS BOUT AS WACK AS IT GETS
WHERE’S THE JAY IN WILLOW SMITH’S NAME? AND WHY THEY NEED TO STOP TRYING TO COLLABORATE WITH NEW PEOPLE, BECAUSE YOU SAID SO? AIN’T Y’ALL THE SAME SAME PEOPLE WHO CRY OLD ARTISTS DON’T STAY RELEVANT BY KEEPING UP AND SHOULD STOP DOING 90’S MUSIC, BUT MOBB DEEP GET DISCREDITED FOR HANGING WITH THE NEW CROWD? DID YOUR LAME ASS EVER THINK NEW RAPPERS WANT A COLLABORATION FROM MOBB NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND?
Hell no!!!! Don’t do it Mobb Deep!!!

http://shop.digicrates.com/2011/10/red-dot-plot-cd.html
I’ve given up on Mobb Deep returning to raw music, why J Cole? why Jay-Z? their both overrated and they don’t sound anything like Mobb Deep should. Havoc needs to get of his ass and make some raw beats, I’m sick of having Alchemist handle majority of production now, when you hear Mobb Deep you think “Shook Ones Pt. 2,” “Survival of the Fittest” & “Hell on Earth” all done by Havoc, ever since he stepped away from producing Mobb Deep has gone downhill along with Prodigy’s slow flow now and lyrics that just don’t sound as thought out.
true. nothing wrong with alchemist though but i do agree that hav should be making more beats for mobb
I won! Haha!
I know that I said you were down with Illuminati, but I need your help. I haven’t sold a record since Takeover. Help a NY Nigga Out.
Guess I can throw away the diss track we just made, Right P
SHHH!!! Shut up nigga, I’m trying to get paid. This is our chance!
Jay i don’t really like you and all but these nigga is wack…….u saw what i tried with these two bums in 05………shitt i regret that shit till this day……don’t sign these niggas
Fuck these niggaz, Theyre as lame as my last album. These nigga should do a collabo with Soulja Boy and Lil B featuring Kreashawn.
You can’t see me,nigga.
Im not ever on the charts….just like ya’ll nigga.
GGGGG-G-Unit
Don’t do it, Prodigy….You see what happened to me after “Can I get a”…..
AND THESE COMMENTS BE MAD DRY! LAMES!
Typing in ALL CAPS….you’re just as lame as theses nigga making the comments,jackass.
Sick of these Blog Gangsta who think they the shit cause they type in ALL CAPS and say literally nothing.
Maybe you’ll understand this.
If you have a point to make them type it normal and explain, and If not then “SHUT THE FUCK UP”
Sup.. I was in your video Dead Presidents.
Who knows me? 🙁
Life’s a Bitch
do yall remember me???….matter fact i dont even remember me smh!
Did I ever have any hit songs without, Jay-Z…….NO.
Would it be a quality song? Probably. But Prodigy is a sell-out in this case, seeing as he was accusing Hov of being in the illuminati and all that bullshit just a little while backk, and now he’s down to collab with him? SMH, as if Hov will even do it
HE’S A SELLOUT BECAUSE YOU SAID SO? OK.
I don’t care how old these guys are. You shouldn’t co-sign your enemy because you now need the money. That would be like Beenie Siegel calling up and asking Jay to do a collabo album. Get some common fucking sense.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THEIR STILL ENEMIES? HOW DO YOU KNOW WHO’S BROKE? YOU ONE OF THEM THAT LIKE TO SPEAK ON EVERYTHING BUT DON’T KNOW ANYTHING. SHOW US SOME BANK STATEMENTS TO PROVE MOBB IS BROKE. UP SOME INTERNET LINKS THAT JAY SPECIFICALLY SAYS PRODIGY IS HIS SWORN ENEMY. UNTIL THEN STFU AND STOP GOSSIPING LIKE A LITTLE GIRL AT A PAJAMA PARTY.
Beanie still is tryin to holla at Jay , who you foolin,. Beanie said he tried numerous times and he had to go thru like 4 peeps to get to his assistant Carling, so eat it
Snore…..ZZZ…..Boring….Nobody Cares
AND THANKS FOR ACTUALLY SCROLLING DOWN ON A COMMENT THREAD YOU SO CLAIM YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT TO ACTUALLY TYPE JUST TO MAKE THAT STATEMENT. JOKE’S ON YOU JACK.
Really tired off these ALL CAP gangstas
check us out on youtube BLACKLAWREBELMUSIC
Yes!!! Now the killuminati and the illuminati are gonna work togher ! They`re gonna neutralize the illuminati shit and that`s gonna be hip hop 😀
Yo, it`s all about sales, see, the MOBB want`s to get DEEPer…i guess they where talking that killuminati shit to get sales, didn`t get none, and now they wanna go hip hop ! Ain`t no Mobb for life in this motherfucker ! 😀 😀
I just can’t see Jay and the Mobb having any chemistry together. Doubt this will happen anyway.
oonly thing id wanna hear is Jay over the beat, Jay gotta do some premo shit,. maybe call up just blaze.
Fuck Jay-Z and fuck the Mobb too if they do a joint wit Jay-Z. The Mobb seems to have this bullshit plan of working with anybody now because they are fuckin’ desperate to get back in the game! What happened to keepin’ it within the family, the home team? I’m tired of the new Mobb Deep. It’s just one disappointment after another. Guaranteed these dudes have lost tons of fans.
