Two words: Mobb Deep. While not the most prolific or widely known rap duo, Prodigy and Havoc are ‎considered to be ‎”one of the most critically acclaimed hardcore East Coast Hip-Hop groups.”‎ Unabashed flows about coming up through public housing set to DJ Premier’s spooky beats kickstarted Mobb Deep’s career, perhaps anointing them the coveted position as “your favorite rapper’s favorite rappers.”

But what in the bloody hell do the Official Queensbridge Murderers‎ have to do with the presidential candidates? Look no further than the finale of 8 Mile, when B-Rabbit pwns himself, thereby pwning Clarence over Mobb Deep’s most epic track, ‎Shook Ones Part II.‎

I want to see‎ a boardwalk wheel labeled with Mobb Deep’s best instrumentals. Premo behind the wheels of steel‎. I want to know who holds the microphone like a lollipop, and be surprised when someone wields it like a sword.

Candidates: can you bang with Havoc? Or are you Prodigy “on that Summer Jam screen” Prodigy?
