You’ve never seen a performer with as much energy and passion as Keith. Period. Point Blank. Any Genre. He prowled the stage like a leopard. Back and forth. Waiting for the exact moment and then...he exploded. It was fucking mesmerizing and scary and beautiful. When I first saw it I lost my mind. I’ve been trying to do it at my shows ever since. You’ve never seen a crowd react the way a crowd reacts to The Prodigy. Ever. It’s like watching a vertical stampede. The combination of Liam, Maxim and Keith and the rest of the savages on drums and guitar was hands down in my book the greatest musical experience ever. EVER. I went to 17 shows. Face paint and all. Chasing that high. Keith and Maxim were like watching two surgeons doing brain surgery in a disco with dynamite. Precise, loud, powerful, explosive on the bass drops, cathartic in the breakdowns, destroying the stage every single time. I wanted to be in the band or atleast carry the luggage so I could have a valid excuse to be in attendance every night to the zen violence that is The Prodigy. Keith was a champion, a maniac and a gentle soul. Always smiling off stage and humble and then an all out warrior once the lights went low and Liam pulled the trigger. Get the World on Fire live album to get a little piece of what I’m talking about. When those first guitar hits of Firestarter drop you know shits about to hit the fan and then that fan is about to get hit by a bus!!! It’s punk magic for the heart and soul. Man brother...to Maxim I hope you find some peace and know that your brother Keith meant a lot to a lot of people on the lunatic fringe looking for a place to belong as loud and as free as Keith. He is an inspiration and played his part to transfer for all that energy and pain, weaponized it and destroyed some demons. If I had dragon balls I’d bring him back first then mother teresa...maybe!
Prodigy Now, Prodigy Forever!
Sincerely,
One of your biggest fans.

I can do relate to this. Seeing him live was incredible, other worldly, absolutely truly unique. There will never be another... I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to witness them live... My mind was blown more than I ever could have imagined. Was a dream come true. I always wished that I could get the opportunity to experience that again but sadly that can never be... I will treasure that memory forever. Hold it close to my heart. And never forget. It still feels unreal. The world lost a truly genuinely unique masterpiece of a human being. I don’t know if I’ll ever be drawn in by an act the way they drew me in and allowed my inner demon / freak flag fly high. I don’t know if I’ll ever have a feeling that liberating and I could see it in everyone’s eyes. We were all one that night. Everyone completely absorbed it’s f*cking heartbreaking to think that no one will ever be able to experience that ever again... RIP Keith. There will never be another...

Thank you for your beautiful storytelling talents describing Keith, The Prodidgy and "chasing that high". I also love The Prodigy and recently popped their CD in my car and rocked the town on the best car stereo I've ever had. I chase that high with a few of my favorite artists, you being one them. I remember seeing you for the first time at The Observatory in the OC. After that show I make sure I go see you everytime you come to LA to get that high. This time my 15 year old daughter came with me, hence why it took me so long to see you live. I was raising my little family. She loves you too and loved your performance of Food & Liquor at the Novo even though she's not that familiar with that album. We were both flying high that night and the days that followed and immediately anticipating your return to LA. I'll see you anytime, anywhere to get that feeling. Like Keith, you're a Firestarter, indeed 🔥.

This is one of the most well written and fitting tributes I’ve read from a person of your calibre . We miss him dearly here in the U.K. He goes unmatched as the greatest frontman of the electronica scene. Thank you for this @lupefiasco 🤗🖤 🎧 🎵

So well said. Goosebumps and rereading many times. You've managed to put The Prodigy into words and that is nearly impossible. 🙏🙏🙏 #onelove #theprodigy

One of my favorite groups of all time as well. .. and Lupe, you're one of the best to ever do it as a lyricist.
