And whether Prodigy agreed with them or not, his return to a teamup with Alchemist actually came across like it really meant something, a definitive attempt at reminding everyone just what got him to the point where it matters if he lets people down.
Now here we go again: skeptics figured P needed to find some way to regain his footing after his prison bid, his social media beef-not-beef with Havoc, and the rusty compromise of his first post-incarceration albums. Part 2- a strong album in its own right- became one of the MC's defining late-career albums, and set a new precedent for him to live up to in his solo work. What was originally intended as a promo vehicle for Prodigy's 2008 LP H.N.I.C. People tried that in the mid 2000s, and Return of the Maccame out to blindside them: Alchemist shined behind the boards, providing a timelessly grimy soul-break soundtrack, while the Mobb Deep vet refocused and returned to his malevolent street-noir wheelhouse after years of questionable crossover bids.
