Mobb Deep’s Prodigy Begins Gun Trial In NY

Monday, October 8, 2007
By: Kenny Rodriguez


prodigyMobb Deep rapper Prodigy was in court on Thursday for a gun possession charge after police arrested him and producer The Alchemist last year.

Authorities say Prodigy, born Albert Johnson, was pulled over in downtown Manhattan after he was spotted driving in the opposite direction on a one-way street in an attempt to claim a parking spot.

Two officers testified that when they stopped his vehicle on Oct. 26, 2006, they saw Prodigy place his hand near an open console, which allegedly had a loaded, unlicensed .22 caliber handgun.

Prodigy, who claims he was unaware that a gun was in the compartment, is scheduled to begin his defense tomorrow.

The rapper already has two previous convictions, and may face up to 15 years in prison if found guilty.

Meanwhile, gun charges against The Alchemist have since been dropped.

Why did they drop the charges on alchemist? cuz he a whiteboy from beverly hills?
Posted by nocompetition7
^ probably cuz p was driving the whip ... Still waiting in hnic 2

...............thats not how it works, both should get charged regardless of whoes driving the wip... Because the gun wasn't under no one persons set, it was in the [center] console, and because p said he didn't know how the gun got there means he's not claiming the gun in question.... So the other guy should have been charged to......... Either one or two things happened here; either alchemist dropped a dime on the low, or its alchemist's gun, and p is taken the fall because its some how easier that way, or the cops are playing them against each other hope'n they'll start turning, or they just don't believe p's story about not knowing it was there, in which case they still would need evidence.... Having said all that, its still suspectious that alchemist didn't get charged....

Be serious man. If you jump in your friends car and it turns out he's got his girlfriends body in the trunk, you really think its fair that you get charged with murder too? thats just how the laws gotta do it. They gotta blame the owner. But yeah i gotta admiot it probably helped alch was white !

Cmon , remember what prodigy said on return of the mac, if they lock me up i'm gonna make mad hits. Somthing about his gem star in his sneaker. Prodigy better man up, he has years of cd's saying how badass he is. Mean stares and sickle cell won't save him in prison. I'm a fan but he's done if he is found guilty. All they have todo is play one mobb deep cd to the judge and its a done deal. Mobb deep have been exposed . They admit, its all music now.

Prodigy 4eva going to be my n!gg@, regardless of what. I hope he beats this s#it, madd dudes got away with alot of illegal stuff, and nothin happend to them. R.kelly, robert downey jr., kobe bryant, o.j, etc. The list goes on and on yo, for real. So enforcing the law sometimes is bs, only charging prodigy is corney, racist and lame. M o b b d e e p 4eva qbc.

While a lotta these so called kings of new york kept quiet.. 95 percent of rappers talk about stuff they never did..that's nothing new..the mobb just gets mo flack for it for some reason..probably cause they lil niggs.i dont know...

Posted by Big Boi
That is some bull sh** on the strength it was two people in the whip. And one person only got charged for that 22. Cal, that's some racist a** type sh*t. Shot's out to my man's prodigy (hold your head homie).

I aint goin 2 jail ima stay high as the sky and do what i do best is spit ya herd queens bridge in da house
Posted by Prodigy
Damn it really seems as though p is still living the life and sh*t. But im surprised that alc got let off. I think that in this case, being white woulda worked against him. Cops woulda wanted to bang him because hes a uh-oh oreo, feel me? but i guess its p's car, and more often than not, owner gets banged up. The government is F*cked up though, banging dudes for guns just cause they dont have a sheet of paper to go with em. As p would mos def say, ron paul 2008 baby F*ck obama.
