1) Albert Johnson (born November 2, 1974 in Bradford, Brooklyn, New York and died on June 20, 2017 in Las Vegas), better known by his stage name Prodigy, was a member of the hip hop duo Mobb Deep. Prodigy worked as a solo artist since the early 2000s. He was born to parents of Ethiopian and Jamaican descent. Prodigy was born with sickle cell anemia and suffered from the disease throughout his life. Propelled to awareness partially by fellow Queens, New York rapper Nas, who took a similar approach lyrically on his championed "Illmatic" album from 1994, as well as with the aid of a successful single, "Shook Ones Pt. 2," Mobb Deep suddenly found themselves developing a quickly growing cult. A year later, in 1996, Prodigy and Havoc released "Hell on Earth"; debuting at number six on SoundScan, the album found them fully realizing their approach, dropping both evocative beats and cinematic rhymes that communicated the dark side of New York's urban landscape. Thanks to a grim video for "Hell on Earth (Front Lines)" and theatrical Scarface-like photos inside the CD booklet picturing the duo with guns and a mound of cocaine, Mobb Deep had created an elaborate image for themselves that took hardcore gangsta rap to a new level for East Coast hip hop. Their next release, "Murda Muzik", was heavily bootlegged while still in its demo stage, leaking rough versions of the nearly 30 songs the duo had recorded onto the streets and over the internet.
Months after the bootlegs leaked and after several pushed-back street dates, "Murda Muzik" was formally released, debuting at number three on the Billboard charts and quickly going platinum on the strength of "Quiet Storm," a song that epitomized the Mobb Deep style. The album was welcomed by critics, who again lauded the group's lucid cinematics, driven primarily by Havoc's production. In late 2000, Prodigy finally released his long-rumoured solo album, "H.N.I.C.", which saw the more lyrically gifted member of the group collaborating with outside producers such as The Alchemist and Rockwilder on tracks that didn't depart far from the trademark sullen Mobb Deep style. Their follow-up, "Infamy", was the duo’s last album for Loud, distributed by Columbia Records and was, for some, a disappointment lyrically and musically, while others praised it as amongst the best rap albums of the year. Loud was absorbed by its new distributor shortly afterwards.
Mobb Deep then signed with Jive, under a unique deal that gave the duo its own imprint, Infamous Records, and released "Amerika'z Nightmare", a very uneven effort, which featured production by The Alchemist and Lil' Jon. However, despite a successful single that featured a Thomas Dolby sample. The duo was not happy with Jive, and were let go at its request. The duo took a hiatus afterwards and came back in 2006, signing to 50 Cent’s Interscope/Universal-distributed G-Unit imprint. Their well-hyped "Blood Money" was a failure from the money side when compared to fellow label mates like 50 Cent, Young Buck and Lloyd Banks. Some accused the duo of selling out, with their beats and rhymes not up-to-par with previous efforts on Loud.
He completed work on his third solo album "H.N.I.C. Part 2", which was previewed on his official mixtape "The Return of the Mac" on the independent label Koch Records. The mixtape single and mixtape video are called "Mac 10 Handle," and it shows Prodigy once again reverting to his trademark braids that he had prior to the release of Mobb Deep's 2004 "Amerika'z Nightmare" album; different from the short fade he had from 2004 to 2006. "H.N.I.C. Pt. 2 was released through Voxonic Inc., of which Prodigy is an equity holder.

Take Me to the Hospital
Prodigy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take me to the hospital
[Chorus]
Take me to the hospital [Repeat: x4]
Along came a spider
He was creepy like Dracula
So being with adrenaline
Hold it!
Welcome to the scene of the crash
Welcome to the scene of the crash
[Chorus]
Welcome to the scene of the crash
Welcome to the scene of the crash
[Chorus]
The song 'Take Me to the Hospital' by Prodigy is a fast-paced techno track that initially seems to be about someone needing medical attention. The repeated phrase "take me to the hospital" at the beginning and throughout the chorus is a clear indication of this. However, as the song continues, it becomes more complex, and it's not really about needing actual medical assistance.
Instead, the lyrics seem to be about the rush of adrenaline that comes from excitement or danger. The reference to a spider being "creepy like Dracula" suggests that the singer has encountered something frightening but exhilarating. The line "he's bug-like, he was a friend" also implies a sense of intimacy or camaraderie with this threat. The use of the word "crash" in the chorus might also refer to the suddenness of the adrenaline rush, as well as the chaotic nature of the music itself.
Overall, the song seems to be about seeking out and enjoying dangerous experiences, even if they come with risk or harm. The repeated call for someone to take the singer to the hospital might be a plea for help or a sign of general recklessness.

Never been the hugest prodigy fan but I respect them and honestly I was lucky to see them in one of their last shows
It was an amazing show really heavy!
I never been so alive I was literally fighting for my life I was really close to the stage and I'm not strong so I've been pushed all over the place
During the live set they made the slow moment of this son (minute 2.12 ) and I was again really close to them I broke my phone during the concert my boots were broken (don't ask me how) and even my trousers and shirt but during that part I saw flint and he was a god
shorter then me weaker then me but standing as a god among us everything was slow...
Then he looked to me and said 'CRASH'
So yeah there is no heaven,no hell and in that moment of his troubled life, he was happy
he was a god
You lived you life in war Mr flint
Now I hope you are in peace
