After being up for less than 24 hours, a tribute moral in Queens that was dedicated to the late Prodigy of Mobb Deep was vandalized. The moral was painted again and vandalized once more before being permanently covered up.
Mike Delorean, who recorded under Mobb Deep’s Infamous Records imprint in the group Bars N Hooks recently spoke on Prodigy’s mural being defaced. Mike reached out to interview with Jamil Lindsey, who is the CEO of Gully TV to explain why he think the moral was vandalized. Mike said the motive for the defacing of Prodigy’s mural was personal and the result of some folks who feel that Prodigy wronged them in the past.
“He did a lot in the hip-hop culture. At the same time, as a person he scarred some people personally. He talked about people in jail. He talked about people in a bad way that were supposed to be friends of his—people that embraced him. And he didn’t do that to people that he grew up with.” Mike stated. He went on to say, “The mural just can’t exist in Queensbridge where the people he disrespected have kids that will see it every day,” Mike explained. “I still have pictures up, because I respect him as a legend.”
