: MediaTakeOut.com has learned that the recession may be hitting Prodigy of Mobb Deep. According to a lawsuit filed against his former label, Prodigy is claiming that his family is in foreclosure.
Here’s how the NY Post is reporting things:
A Queens-bred rapper is suing a Manhattan music company from behind bars for allegedly failing to pay him more than $30,000 and plunging his family into foreclosure….Wasn’t he the dude talking about how his chain cost $100,000. Wow … how things change…"These breaches . . . have put Prodigy's family in financial peril," say documents filed last Monday in Manhattan Supreme Court.
@SWEETBUTTERFLY...NOW THAT'S REAL TALK...IF BLACK FOLKS WOULD SPEND THEIR MONEY MORE WISELY, INSTEAD OF BALLING AND SPENDING MONEY EXCESSIVELY, A LOT OF THESE ARTISTS WOULDN'T BE IN TROUBLE...IF I MADE ONE MILLION DOLLARS, I WOULD PROBABLY BUY ME HOUSE FOR ABOUT 30-40000..CASH MONEY!! NOBODY CAN THROW YOU OUT YOUR OWN ISH!!
From the point the dude signed to G-Unit and proclaimed on his record that Curtis Jackson made him rich,I knew he was a certified clown. Mobb Deep was an institution in Hip Hop before anyone even heard of 50 cent. WTF did they do with all the money they made from shows up until that point? The inability of Negroes who actually make dough in this society to consistently end up in such financial straits speaks volumes to the level of their intelligence. Harsh yes but true. This Negro is in his late thirties now. Get it the F together. Less FEMININE jewelery and more common sense BLACK BOYS!!!
@TheFashionista-YOU SAID IT BEST! these ignorant *** fools had a chance to stash away some money for a rainy day, they saw more money than most of us will see in a lifetime. Mobb Deep has been out since the early 90's and granted, they were never a top selling group, but they have seen money. they needed to do like Slick Rick and put their money into buying buildings and property in the hood. wtf is this dude doing in jail? thats another issue. you cant do a *** thing for your family if youre locked up. *** fools.
Pac told these rappers, but they didn't listen.....anyway the money is not in music bless you write your own stuff ,produce it and the a/r by yourself, other than that you makes nothing.. Movies is the way to go especially if it's a teenage or kids movie. I really don't understand why you people think these singers and rappers get paid that much when they don't, believe it or not but the most popular singers or rappers are probably the brokest ones...Don't believe the hype people!
When will n*ggas learn...smh.
Stop buying these big *** rims...ridiculously overpriced jewelry...and start a legit business.
N*ggas goin' broke for perpetuatin' stereotypes on TV...and wonder why people don't feel sorry for you. All the records MOB Deep sold???? ***...
...THAT money should STILL be making money for these dudes. N*ggas will learn someday...stop perpetuating the ***' stereotypes.

"*** barely living dont you got sickle cell, see me have a seizure on stage you aint feelin well hell" - 2pac-'when we ride on our enemies'
this is what happens when u don't becone a c.i. for the nypd, u end up in jail, and ur friend curtis is ur former friend, u wouldn't sell out.....he'd sell u out to not get locked up. meanwhile, u had a 10 year head start on most major rappers today and u have nothing( if anything at all ) to show for it.u shameless ***, ur not a man, u can't put food on the table for ur family when ur in jail. brothas need to aquire things that will retain value and not go to waste in value. when ur dumb *** get out, go to a suzy orman seminar.curtis jackson has money already, tyler perry has money already, will smith has money already and u were around before all of them.u joke *** jim jones-looking c-u-***-t!
Naw this has nothing to do with the post but...LOL

Like Lil Boosie said I got no love for a artist who is in the game and is hurting for money you gotta hustle and do shows promote yourself if your a known name in the game you *** be hurting for money there is just to many ways to get your hustle on... Mobb Depp always be talking about other artist to I really never liked Mobb Depp They had a couple cool songs I just always found myself listening to NAS Jay are X,MD never just had anything where I was like Yo I wanna pop that *** in a listen to it
