To-do list for Prodigy (rapper):	edit · history · watch · refresh
Here are some tasks you can do:

Contents 1 Sickle Cell Anemia 2 Somebody need to write about 2pac vs Mobb Deep 3 Controversy over name? 4 Fair use rationale for Image:Prodigy Return of the Mac.jpg 5 Gun charges

[edit] Sickle Cell Anemia

There is no mention of that in the article about his condition. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.161.179.101 (talk) 10:05, 22 January 2007 (UTC).

I updated the article. --WheezyF (talk) 15:14, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Somebody need to write about 2pac vs Mobb Deep

Mobb Deep was a great enemy to 2pac. Somebody should write about that beef.

I prefer to keep rap beef out of the articles. It gets overwhelming. --WheezyF (talk) 15:15, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy over name?

I think there should be a section on the main article which discusses the annoying fact that this rapper dared name himself so close to a band who have been around since the EARLY '90's. So he dropped the "the" - THE PRODIGY HAD THEIR NAME FIRST!!! But back to my point: I think there should at least be a mention of this similarity and how it annoys (and confuses) many of the TRUE Prodigy fans out there. --24.91.15.252 14:27, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

get over it. the prodigy are egregiously mundane and liam howlett swears he likes men.

Yeah get real, I seriously doubt the rapper Prodigy ever heard of the techno group, I mean give me a break. Had anyone in America heard of this group before they started playing that firestarter song on MTV, not likely. That dropped in 1996 "the Infamous" dropped 1995 and he probably had that name way before that. Not to mention the Prodigy only got play in the US for a year and Mobb Deep is over 10 years deep in constant radio play, so there is little confusion. 70.160.229.253 19:32, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Prodigy Return of the Mac.jpg

Image:Prodigy Return of the Mac.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:34, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
