The album inspired rapper, Wiz Khalifa's album, O.N.I.F.C. The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on December 18, 2000. The album also inspired a 16-year old, Kendrick Lamar, who dropped his Y.H.N.I.C. His verse on " Quiet Storm" explains this: and the Murda Muzik album with Mobb Deep, he started living a healthy lifestyle. "I spent too many nights sniffin' coke, gettin' right wastin' my life, now I'm trying to make things right."Īlthough Quiet Storm appeared on Murda Muzik, it was originally planned for H.N.I.C. The more conscious side of Prodigy is also visible on the song "Genesis." Prodigy addresses his lifelong experience with Sickle-cell disease on the track "You Can Never Feel My Pain." On this track he also explains that this disease makes him depressed, which made him crave for controlled substances and alcohol. "The positive and negative war has now begun. P helps you separate both the sides let the truth arise, black devil don't hide You can't hide from me, you might from the others. I've been employed to pull your ass out from the covers. Trickin my brothers into followin you? Yo, Potential energy is easily made kinetic." You walk like you got hooves and talk like you 'sposed to. This isn't an only conscious album though. Prodigy strikes again with hardcore lyrics. Prodigy can therefore be described as a conscious gangster. Prodigy lets you know that he is the boss: The guns, the drama, the love, the Mobb." The boss, the Captain Crunch dog, the sarge.
The 6th track "Keep It Thoro" does not have a hook or chorus this was the central idea of the song with Prodigy making this clear with the penultimate line "heavy airplay all day with no chorus." However, Prodigy's manager at the time, Chris Lighty, thought the song could do better on the radio with a chorus. This then led to the recording of a version with a chorus by Havoc after the album was released, with the penultimate line edited out. The Alchemist, the producer of this track, later commented that "the hook was dope too but the song was already powerful enough." This version of the song was included on the Japanese edition of the album as a bonus track. Prodigy's wife KiKi appears on the track "Trials of Love" as B.K. Bars, the only time she appears on a song.
