No Such Thing As Halfway Cooks: Prodigy Cooks Up In A Bodega
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 10. 2016
- Last week, Mobb Deep’s Prodigy released a cookbook based on the meals he cooked up during his three-year incarceration called Commissary Kitchen. “In a world where prisoners are treated like animals, we made our experiences there feel more human by how we prepared our food,” he writes. After taking a look at it, Mass Appeal contacted P and asked him if he’d make one of the dishes. He agreed.
Prodigy met us at a bodega on the Lower East Side where he whipped up “Mom’s (and the Dread’s) Mac Salad,” a recipe he says was partly inspired by a “Rastafarian dude” he met in lockup. P also chopped it up with us about the recent prison strike, his sickle cell anemia, and the difficulty of eating right while incarcerated. “Another major reason why I did this book,” says Prodigy, “was to shed some light on how bad the food is in prison.”

Bandana P: "I gotta eat healthy" * tosses in a whole jar of mayonaise *

I didn't know prison reform was a big thing like that, I'm glad he explained it.
rest in peace Prodigy
So calm and humble. R.i.p. Prodigy
Came by to see my dude man still live and flesh regardless of passing smh RIP P
R.I.P Prodigy!
God bless this mans soul and family RIP
Prodigy did a lot to raise awareness about sickle cell anemia. I never realize the unbearable pain sickle cell warriors go through until I read his book. I knew that having a crisis was really painful, but I had no idea how bad it could get. Plus what they have to go through when they go to hospitals that are not use to dealing with people with sickle cell anemia.
and he came from the hood being born with that pain and a violent poverty, he made it out
R i p prodigy
I still listen to mobb deep everyday
He got a great carizma
RIP Prodigy #infamousmobb
Samhangi how did he pass?
R.I.P Legend!
“This is looking righteous!” Lol Rest in power P
That ability to pick minimal words for maximum impact
Still can’t believe he’s gone. Him & Nipsey passing are hard to move on from even though i didn’t know them personally.
😔
🙏🙏🙏
RIP❤
Kaylee Calhoun he dead ?
he passed away from sickle cell anemia about 2 weeks ago.
Kaylee Calhoun no-one really knows some sites said he choked on an egg
Kaylee Calhoun send your snapchat
Jojn Tra how old are you?
Rest In Power P! This is a sad day...
Been binge watching random cooking videos & this just popped up, fly high P, love you brother, from Scotland 🏴
Damn! P is so composed in the kitchen. P and Havoc (Mobb Deep) one of the greatest groups ever in hip hop. I miss you bro S.I.P
Yo get him to do an actual cooking show.
Compton Japan I would of tuned in to watch that sadly we can't now rest easy p! 🙏💙💪✊☝😔
Nassa Brown
It's so fuqd up how true strength of the heart and soul, intelligence from desire to improve, and an exuding of realness untainted didn't get more deserved love from us as fans and admirers of what he, with Mobb and without, manifested into existence with his understandably aggressive And honorable approach to life, as well as music. RIP Prodigy!!! I always wanted to cross your path just for an intelligent convo bro...I hope one day I will. Real men STAND UP
K trill
Wuuu , me too. I'm still hurt off of Prodigy. This hurt me like 2Pac's death !
Compton Japan that would be so dope. They still needa do that

It's sad to think that you gone P I remember watching this video when you was alive and come back every now and then just to see you full of life again 🙏 Rest Easy
man miss you so much kid, watching this video felt like you was still here.
Hurts to watch this. He was such a humble soul.
prepared to chef, aint scared of books - we hooked.. AINT NO SUCH THING AS HALFWAY COOKS
Your name is fitting 💀
I love men like Prodigy. Just wise and real.
Just rewatching this video just makes me feel like he’s still here with us. I get a feeling in my heart
R.I.P. Prodigy! Life stops one day, but life impact stays forever.
Prodigy is one of the coolest cats to ever do it. So calm and comfortable in his own skin, and thoughtful at the same time. RIP brother, you're an inspiration
I come back to this vid almost every year .. makes u appreciate the small things in life
i wanted to come watch this video again just to see you alive and to thank you for sharing your talent world wide. Much respect to Mobb Deep. One of my all time favorites.
R.I.P. Prodigy, you were one of my favorite rappers ever. The only issue I ever had with P, was when he wrote that all tell book. That's history, you're still one of my favorites!
the man was a true genius of our times they tried to unrecognized him try to unsung him a true hero
I’m 23. I miss you P. First book I read after high school and got me back to reading.
“My infamous life”
I'm right there with you bro. 23 years old from NY. Never really did grow up listening to him but I put myself on like 5 years back in H.S when I would listen to Nas.
Now I can't believe he's gone. One of my fav artist in general
Watching him cook also eases my inner tension. R. I. P. Prodigy
RIP man
Miss that energy he shared with the people
It's still Mob Deep in 2019 RIP P
R.I.p. prodigy. You were one of the main dudes who got me into hip hop in the 90s. You are frfr missed and we need you right now p.
its unreal, to know how this world can form an individual into someone who has to make sure you arent getting poisoned mentaly and physically. u can see it in his eyes, sometimes i feel the same. we just coast thru life making sure we are safe from evils. No religion hit me hard. R.I.P prodigy
Humble as fuck. Rip bro
So Refreshing to hear this Kings Voice , one of the best to ever do it.
R.I.P ya Raps, lyrics and flow will never be forgotten and will always be bumping it Rest easy P Salute
Rest In Peace Prodigy. Thank you for everything you brought us.
Thanks P' for sharing something that ain't the VIP life like the mainstream thing.. True legend! 1
Rest in Power my guy..this video made me feel a way..can’t believe it man..still seems surreal.
5:38 “This is lookin righteous” 😂😂 RIP P
Prodigy is a very cool individual. Very genuine and likable. I say IS because good energy never dies so he lives on indefinitely 👌🏾🙏🏽
Still feels unreal smh R.I.P Prodigy 🙏🏾
Years later... still appreciated,❤️❤️❤️
Whoever got to try Prodigy's cooking is lucky.
"people use this can tin to ahh... cut onions and stuff"probs wanted to say as shanks ahhh
That's what i was thinking 🤔
Ain’t no tin cans in jail
Jun ossbay y’all reading too much into the way he says it, he probably REALLY meant they use it to cut onions and shit so they don’t have to use the plastic knife lol
DeeDer Howser Not in county but in prison here in Cali you can have tin cans.
@@deederhowser7508 it is in certain prisons
P seems like a good dude. I might get the book just to hear some of the stories behind the recipes. Not feeling all that mayo but I guess you can tailor it back or use something else.
One thing that Prodigy needs to address is avoid jail, period. Yes there needs to be prison reform and better conditions, but they can only get so much better. Prison is supposed to be a less than desirable experience.
everybody aint perfect. and have you seen the news lately, these pigs out here either shooting us dead or locking us up just for looking at them wrong, theres hundreds of innocent people locked up and one day that could be you too so don't be so quick to pelt stones in glass houses.
I feel you but I'm not throwing stones. I been down that road with the system before. But again, avoid jail at all costs and you can eat what you work for. We can't avoid getting popped by the pigs but we can avoid having an unregistered gun in the car (like Prodigy did) or drugs, etc.
r0mediddy "good dude" boi if u dont stfu. he was behind bars. i wouldnt trust this guy.
Dios Feo So you're a bad dude if you go to prison? Can't make mistakes anymore lol damn
One of the best voices in hip hop. RIP Progidy. Definitely one of the greats!
You a Legend P! Rest easy.... love from Australia 🙏🏾
Rest in Peace.
RIP my man.
“stirrin’ up pots a brew...in hells’ kitchen, I chef the impossible...” -r.i.P. double

What would Gordon Ramsay say?
Yup, P is definitely my man! 💪🏼 R.I.P. Prodigy! You'll always be remembered and loved ❤️✌🏼
RIP.......
"Don't be no dirty ass cook...Yamsayin?" 😂
When I came home from being away I said someone that chefs inside should make a cook book when they get home and I’m glad it was Prodigy man, rest easy bro.
Maaaaaan, I wish he was still here.... in the mind, body, and spirit connected together !😇 More wisdom to share.🤗
Ik what he feels cuz I have sickle cell anemia as well and it ain’t no joke. But to see him do what he did in and outta jail was an inspiration. Mobb Deep is my favorite group of all time but when my dad told me he had sickle cell I loved him even more. And to hear him pass was just breath taking. In all this I just wanna say rest up Prodigy I love u man🙏🏾🙏🏾🖤
How’s this brother hope ur doing well these days peace.
damn that's too much mayo light or not
Rilla Crowley lmao
it was just enough.
Rilla Crowley no its not stupid fuck that's perfect obviously hed not going to eat all by himself . shit my mom's do it the same way but with a bigger rounder bowl and that shits need mayo to make it taste good or else that shit going to taste like pure untasty pasta
depends on how much noodles you may need to add more mayo lmao!
never too much in prison
Damn man, I can’t believe your gone way to soon! Prodigy is one of my favorite MCs and his lyrics molded me when I was a teenager. It was funny cuz I live in Cali and everyone was bumpin Snoop, Ice Cube or Dre and I was like fuck all that let’s bump some Mobb Deep, Wu-Tang or Nas!!! RIP to the God Prodigy. You def have a fan here that is still mourning your death!
What's wrong with Dre and Cube? You don't gotta throw shade at them, I listen to Dre, Cube, Eazy, Biggie, NWA and Mobb Deep, you got greats from the West and the East, there's room for it all, their all real G's of their time.
Same here I'm from the westcoast LA but I think alot of these westcoast dudes overrated AF word up Dunn know what I'm sayin!
RIP dun...your music is legendary and so are you.
