Prodigy

As this comp proves, Tragedy, Nature and the members of the Bravehearts were better gangsters than they were pop performers, which isn't to say that they didn't make great hip-hop. "The Bridge" reconfigures the BDP classic "The Bridge is Over," while Nas' "Real N*gg*s" takes a look at civil rights O.G.s. "Oochie Wally" was the single, but it's the album's weak link.
