N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN are making the press rounds in support of their REVOLT TV series, Drink Champs, and stopped by The Breakfast Club earlier this week.
During their conversation with Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee and DJ Envy, N.O.R.E. said he knows who defaced the Queensbridge mural that was painted in Prodigy’s honor shortly after the Hip Hop legend’s passing.
“I’m not qualified to speak on that,” the Queens native said around the 19:00 mark. “But it came from a big homie that’s in jail that don’t have nothing. I know you always big [up] Prodigy’s book, but Prodigy’s book hurt a lot of people [including some who are] dead, in jail, alive, and [this particular] guy that’s up north. He’s a respectable guy, and everybody respects him. He sent the word, and it’s official.”
The book N.O.R.E. mentioned — My Infamous Life: The Autobiography of Mobb Deep’s Prodigy — served as the late Mobb Deep MC’s memoir and caused some controversy in the Hip Hop community, including allegations that Prodigy was a snitch.
Earlier this month, Prodigy’s mural was splattered with paint on two separate occasions. The first time happened less than 24 hours after its initial completion and the second time occurred within hours of its repair. It was ultimately removed.

if the kids are stuck looking up to “the big homie” who orders kids to deface murals, twice – how are we to grow? Prodigy may have done some things to upset people, but that does not take away from his success – Him and havoc accomplished more than most with the resources they had – it’s a shame people are stuck with their petty mindsets – it’s a vicious cycle
SENSITIVE THUGS, YA’LL ALL NEED HUGS!!!!
Big bro up north needs more than that by the sounds of it
FACTS!!!!
R.I.P Pee…think about the catalog he left behind…not some LOSER who splattered paint on his mural.
The truth hurts a lot of people of course, and that’s what P wrote in his book. Btw Noreaga can suck a dick.
N.O.R.E got some of them big ass clown teeth too? Damn….
Noreaga like a bitch gossiping. Ain’t had a hot album since war report
this is some bullshit so somebody locked up ordered that, isn’t that what up north means, or maybe dude is an inuit.
why N.O.R.E. dry snitchin on some eskimo?
ha. dinduit eskimo
+1
Sherman Adams aka Sherm the Worm Leader of the sex money murder blood set who Prodigy shitted on in his book sent the word.
Sounds like a classy guy.
Why NORE wet snitching? Wet cause this Nig spits allot when he talks…
Mane fuck Nore and anybody who calls him a “legend”. Nore is only a legend by time. This dude always spits those same boring elementary rhymes and ain’t never evolved, dude is kinda slow.
tbh i don’t care about dude either sure i like some early C-N-N but that’s it when it come to dude, even the DJ Premier produced “Invincible” from their reunion was lackin. “Bang Bang” was ok i like Fox
Chill out, internet gangster. They gave Noreaga, and he’s providing the answers or guesses that the hosts want. That’s how an interview works.
Lol shut up.. you sound like a female
N.O.R.E. doesn’t know how to stay relevant, let alone know who defaced the murual. Drizzy Drake on the other hand knows everything. He’s connected to the streets. Take Care 2 OTW
Relevant? He has one of the top shows and it’s growing. You know who he is…so does everyone else.
Prodigy talked about NORE shooting not 1, but 2 people and yall calling him the snitch. At least he aint go in like P did.

(Internet know-it-all)” but he was talking about 2Pac, not Prodigy” stfu.
