Prodigy Awaits Jail Sentence, ‘HNIC 2’ Album

ProdigyAs Prodigy gets ready to serve a jail sentence over a gun conviction, the Mobb Deep rapper recently explained his side of the story on a new blog – including accusing the police of trying to set up fellow rapper 50 Cent.

The 33-year-old rapper, born Albert Johnson, pled guilty to unlawful gun possession on Oct. 9, after police found a gun in his vehicle during a traffic stop. Since this was his third gun conviction, Prodigy faced a fifteen-year sentence.

Despite claims of an illegal search, he struck a plea bargain and his sentence was reduced to three-and-a-half years.

“I had to cop out to a 3 1/2 year sentence, otherwise I would have lost and got 15 years,” P wrote on his weblog, HNIC2.com.

“I been [through] a lot of cases. Murder cases, guns, grand theft, etc. I got away with so many crimes it’s incredible. So me doing 3 1/2 ain’t shit compared to what I deserve.”

Prodigy also accuses the police of attempting to use him to nab G-Unit artist 50 Cent.

“All night they tried to get me to set up 50 Cent,” he wrote.

“They wanted me to plant guns in his car, plant drugs, or arrange a buy-and-bust. I was shocked how many times they tried and how many different detectives and ATF agents they tried to send at me. It was crazy.”

P also spoke briefly about his long-awaited album, “HNIC 2,” describing it as “a world-changing revolutionary album.”

“Right now is the time to reveal everything to the ‘hood; I think they are hungry for information, and they demand answers to a lot of bullshit this government is pulling on us.

“That’s what I’m bringing to the table with ‘HNIC 2.’ I don’t see anybody [else] in this game that has the power to do what I’m about to do right now. There are a few big names in rap that know the information I know, and they could do it, but they conceal it and don’t speak on it ‘cause they are so wrapped up with money, fame, fashion.”

“HNIC 2” will also be accompanied by a DVD, titled “Free P,” with a music video for every song on the LP.

Prodigy begins his sentence on Jan. 9, while his album hits stores in early 2008.

I heard a few of his new joints, & if prodigy keeps at it he could do a crazy upset. Homie seriously fell off but it look like he might be going back to the gutter infamous days.

P good luck. Don't say 3 and a half aint nutthin because u will be a changed man when u come out. The only dudes in jail holdin hammers is the guards. I've listened to you rap about being the hnic and being tuff for a long time. Time to see if u get respect in jail. After seeing you get juked by saigon, i'd say u better get ur fighting skills up kidd. Good luck p new videos are off the hook.

That's what i'm talking about, big up's to p for speaking out about the bullsh*t the gov't is doing, has been doing and plan to do to us on his new joint. I must admit i'm not a big m.d fan but this will definitly convert me to one. Hip hop has soooooo much power to speak and change our everyday situations on a positive vibe that 4 the life of me cannot understand y more artist especially rappers don't do it.

I like prodigy's music. I think 50 cent should pay for prodigy's legal fees, room and board, money inside prison, money for his familys and on and on.

What happended to the second amendment in the country, its a gun, who cares. Its called protection, its called the constitution, this is such bullsh*t, p is an asset and a hero for doing what he did on this album. Time for you other rappers to step the F*ck up.
