Overall, this album is laid back and every beat is dope in my opinion. The album ends with “Say My Name” which is a cool track but I don’t think it fits well as an album ender but it is a nice solid track. Then “Raw Forever” is just as laid back with excellent production. Another nice job by Alchemist on the beat and Prodigy spits realism on this one. This is another one of the many gems on the album. Breeze is next which is another what I like to call, “night time joint”. I wasn’t too fond of the hook but overall this track is a winner.
This track has that 70’s exploitation film feel to it. Next we get into “The One” which is a nice solid track with a nice feature from Action Bronson (who is known for killing Alchemist tracks). I may skip “Dough Pildin” depending on the mood I’m in. So far, I can say that I can easily go through this album without skipping. Alchemist also spits on this track and he held his own! Then the second half to this song switches up to another dope simple beat. Then we go into “Bible Paper” where Prodigy does that smack-talk flow and this track made me come to the conclusion that Prodigy is good at making slow paced songs that have the energy that makes you want to fight. The production on this one is beautiful and Prodigy does this track justice. Then we go into “Confessions” where P gets into story telling mode over an epic Alchemist beat. This song is more like a interlude with a simple hook and simple flow. After this track we go back into the smooth laid back “Dough Pildin”. This beat is more fast paced, taking us out of that relaxed mode and it has a hint of old school in it. We go to “R.I.P.” next featuring Havoc & Raekwon, so we get some Mobb Deep with a taste of Wu-Tang. On this track Domo Genesis KILLED IT! Prodigy did his thing but I think he should have set this one off. So far the album has a laid back feel to it, and then it goes into “Y.N.T.” which is even more laid back. Next is “Bear Meat”, which is another smooth joint but at the same time, it has an aggressive type of energy to it. Him and Prodigy make a nice tag team outside of Havoc. The addition of Roc Marciano on this track was pleasant. We go into “Death Sentence” next which is another smooth joint. He even brags that he has writing songs to a science which is proved on this track. Then it goes into “Curb Ya Dog” which starts off as sounding cartooney, but when the drum break comes in, the result is hip hop.
Producers take note of the simplicity that Alchemist applied to this beat and how the level of dopeness to it is high. Then it goes into “Stay Dope” where P brings his “nonchalant no beating around the bush” flow. Its a dope beat regardless and Prodigy delivery along with the way Alchemist laid the sample results in a solid track. “Give Em Hell” has a smooth feel to it and at the same time it has a steady pace to it. The beat is busy, yet simple, and Prodigy flows smoothly through it.
It then smoothly transitions to “Imdvk”, which sets a dark organized crime type of mood. The “Intro” is straight to the point and lets us know what we are about to get into. Both Prodigy and Alchemist delivered on this one. I can’t say anything bad about this album because it surpassed my expectations. Prodigy spit game is on point as well as Alchemist’s beats.
Prodigy hnic album reviews full#
Those people who complained should now be rejoicing because “Albert Einstein” is full of gems. I agree that Prodigy took a different approach on that album that wasn’t what I was expecting, but the project was cool and he did give us that Bumpy Johnson album the same year so I appreciated the consistency. I kept hearing how he didn’t bring that “Mobb Deep” energy to it or how it didn’t sound like the P that they expected. 3 last year, many people were complaining about it.
