UPDATE (Feb. 14): Prodigy granted a one-week extension to start sentence
Laura Checkway over at the Village Voice has a piece on Prodigy’s preparation for the big-house. Cell Block P is going away for three and a half years and you can get the full story here.
“Money’s worthless, real power is people/Real strength is in the street where everybody’s equal,” Prodigy raps. “Fuck jewelry, fuck rims, let’s spend on our protection.” It’s the first Saturday in January, three days before Johnson is scheduled to begin a three-and-a-half-year prison term for illegal possession of firearms in New York. “It’s just a regular day shooting a video,” he insists, after noting the filthy condition of this prison, which has been non-operational since 2002. “But at the same time, it’s definitely on my mind, like, ‘Damn, I’m about be in one of these motherfuckers.’ I think about it for a minute, and then I snap right out of it.” excerpt from “Prodigy’s 25th Hour”

Wow, it’s crazy about Prodigy. What we can’t deny is that he has an incredible amount of talent. Check him out on his official HNIC Kyte channel. It’s on his myspace where he produces his own shows from his cell. Get up on there and leave him a shout out. http://www.myspace.com/mobbdeep
