Poetical Prophets-Flavor For The Non-Believes (demo)
Written By STRETCH ARMSTRONG:
When Mobb Deep got their first deal at Island/4th & Broadway, it was off the strength of their demo, which they recorded as The Poetical Prophets. Like me, they were going through a transition in the name department. Hav and P were YOUNG here. You would NOT recognize them if I didn’t tell you it was Mobb Deep. Their gimmick was that they were shorties smoking copious amounts of weed, drinking 40′s and hittin’ skins. Like the Souls of Mishchief, as soon as it came time to record their first album, they switched it up dramatically. In Mobb Deep’s case, that also meant going through puberty, which meant they could finally at least attempt to be the grimeballs they purported to be on their demo. I’ve given the entire seven song demo to Prodigy on two occassions but both times it got jacked by someone. What I need is the post-4th & Broadway Mobb Deep demo “Paddy Shop” which is the one-song demo I brought to Loud Records to get them signed.
