Posten on: 2008-05-29 07:33:11
The tunes on Prodigy’s H.N.I.C. Pt. 2 are totally ill with fat bass and old school drum sounds. Therefore, I don’t understand why all the videos have such poor audio quality. Prodigy must’ve busted ass to get all this on film before being locked up, so why did his sound tech bail on him? Anyhow, here’s 3 more vids (+1 from yesterday): Prodigy - “Click Clack” (Feat. Twin Gambino) Prodigy - “Young Veterans” Prodigy - “Represent Me” Links To More Prodigy “Dirty New Yorker” video Keak Da Sneak ft. Prodigy - “That Go” video
