Prodigy Begins 3 1/2 Years Bid, Releasing Autobiography

by JOKESTA

MONDAY MARCH 31, 2008

New York rapper Prodigy began his 3 1/2 years bid last week after numerous delays.

Prodigy, who was convicted of Criminal Possession Of A Loaded Weapon, had his jail bid postponed for 30 days after being admitted to the emergency room on January 7. He was released the same night.

It is rumored he was admitted from some complication of his Sickle Cell Anemia. His sentence was then set to February 13th, that however was also postponed.

Fans of the rapper need not worry however, as the Queens MC plans to keep everyone updated via his blog which he says he'll be updating on the regular from behind bars.

His latest solo effort, H.N.I.C. 2 is scheduled to hit stores on April 22nd, while his yet to be titled autobiography is still being wrapped up.

"I got an autobiography coming out soon," says the Shook Ones hitmaker.

"It's not some silly little book, this is my life story, my legacy, and my family tree. I'm talking a very serious read, about 500 pages that I wrote myself full of pictures that will show you everything ya reading from start to finish. This is guaranteed to be one of the best, if not the best hip-hop autobiography that's ever been published," he continued.

According to Prodigy, the book will be released via Vigliano Associates, a literary firm who has represented eight #1 New York Times best sellers and boasts an impressive list of celebrity clientèle including Shaquille Oneal, Britney Spears, David Blaine, Alicia Keys, and Walter Payton.

"I'm the only rapper that they've decided to represent. I'm finishing the last 50-75 pages while I'm locked up and it'll be released soon after my H.N.I.C. 2 album drops."

Prodigy is wack anyway

Who cares, his book will be made up of lies and exagerrations, like how he 'handled his beef with Pac and Jigga'.

I wonder if he will mention Tru Life in there or Saigons fist.

wtf are you saying...prodigy was always the lyricist of the two and havoc was nicer wit the flow...and as for that disrespecting shit, prodigy is a veteran in the game meaning: he can criticize whoever in the rap game cause hes been holding it down for a minute. he said shit like "joe budden the worst, etc" - thats hes opinion; stop being so sensitive to what he do.

Chimire must've fell and bumped his damn head if he thinks that P was the lyricist in "MD". Hav was always nice with his while P, with his off beat ass, always sounded like he was sleep and reading off a piece of paper.

500 pages of pictures, thats about it nigga, a fuckn pop-up book...lol...i aint gettn that shit, and i might not even illegally download his album...every time i hear about this dude i just wanna bump...

"When We Ride On Our Enemies"

Fugees! Fugees and Mobb Deep tryin to diss now too huh?
Hahaha! Well I ain't prejudiced, I don't give a fuck
This is what it sounds like - when we ride on our enemies
BEYOTCH! When we ride on our enemies

[Verse One]
HEYYYY! Got some static for some niggaz on the other side of town
Let my little cousin K roll, he's a rider now
What they want from us motherfuckin thug niggaz?
Used to love niggaz now I plug niggaz, and slug niggaz
Am I wrong? Niggaz makin songs, tryin to get with us
Must be gone on stress weed, in the West we trust
To the chest I BUST! Then we ride 'til the sun come
shinin back to brighten up the sky, many die
Heard the Fugees was tryin to do me - look bitch!
I cut yo' face, this ain't no motherfuckin movie
THEN! We watch the other two die slow
Castrated entertainin at my motherfuckin sideshow
BAM! Set my plan in mo', time to exterminate my foes
I can't stand you hoes, uhh
Now label this my fuckin trick shot
My lyrics runnin all you cowards out of hip-hop
When we RIDE - on our enemies

When we ride on our enemies
I bet you motherfuckers die, when we ride, on our enemies
When we ride on our enemies
Bet all you motherfuckers die, when we ride, on our enemies

[Verse Two]
Come take a journey through my mind's eye
You crossed the game, don't explain, nigga time to die, say goodbye
Watch my eyes when I pull the trigger
So right before you die you bow before a bigga nigga, now dry yo' eyes
You was HEARTLESS on yo' hits
Niggaz love to scream peace after they start some shit - pay attention
Here's a word to those that robbed me
I murder you then I, run a train on Mobb Deep! Don't fuck with me
Nigga you're barely livin, don't you got sickle cell?
See me have a seizure on stage, you ain't feelin well, hell
How many niggaz wanna be involved?
See I was only talkin to Biggie, but I'll kill allay'all, then ball
Then tell Da Brat to keep her mouth closed
Fuck around and get tossed up, by the fuckin Outlawz
Before I leave, make sure everybody HEARD
Know I meant, EVERY MOTHERFUCKIN WORD
When we ride on our enemies

When we ride on our enemies
Make sure everybody die, when we ride, on our enemies
When we ride on our enemies, hehe
I make sure everybody die, when we ride, on our enemies

AAHHH...that felt good...

it's warfare in the arena, you turn arenas into house of horrors
its terrodome, when you see my click you need to run behind shit
you gotta gat you betta find it
and use that shit think fast and get reminded
of robberies in Manhattan you knew what happened
60 g's and one for gun clappin
Who Shot Ya? You'd probably scream louder than an opera
New York gotcha, now you wanna use my mob as a crutch
what makes you think you cant get bucked again
Once again, back in the house once again
live the life that of diamonds and guns
and now gems pull gats like a basehead pull on stems
the Mobb got the bomb run out and tell a friend
Its the Infamous..

Lets not forget when Chino MURKED Pac in that Freestyle when he said fuck you and your crack headed mom, Pac is not vincible like all these dudes claimed..

First of all: You cant Murk somebody if nobody even hears dat shit. Chino Xl only got 17 fans! (18 includin' U)

He couldnt fuck wit Pac....not even a lil bit!

Dont ever let me hear u mention Chino xl and Tupac in the same sentence again!

Awww shittt!!! Let me see...Prodigy is gonna write a book about how much of a huge failure he is and how he failed to make it past 'shook ones' with little homie Havoc. The truth is that this is a lame idea and as a matter of fact here's some advice Prodigy...if you're reading this...there is no reason why you should come out with this book now. There's no valid reason for this output and as a matter of fact, it will hurt your "career" more than help it. Don't know if G-Unit is supporting you on this or not, but since no one is telling it to you like it is, I'll do this one pro-bono...don't write the 6 page book with pictures...You're not ready and the people aren't ready. This book should be intended to lure fans like candidates try to lure voters...you don't have any credibility, talent nor appeal outside of your zipcode. Instead, this is what you should do...do your time...avoid dropping the soap...after a few months (at minimum 6 months) begin sparking controversy about those who have failed you while in prison and date it back before you went into prison...just claim that they surprised you and you didn't think they were that way...this gives you a basis for listeners because fans love controversy. Let the fans-to-be know that it's time for a new album and discuss the concept behind your album...do the following for your album...take it a little retro...you know, back to the original QueensBridge roots...keep it gully and spit that original Mob Deep shit you and Havoc use to spit...this should be your intro. Next contemplate 3 concept songs that deal with addressing those that have failed you...Next, find 3 more songs that should be intended as party smashers...they should rock in cars too...don't threaten nor pistol whip the ladies you choose to sing with you...there should be at minimum 2 ladies...can't have the same one on all 3 tracks...plan videos for these...which means, that you should start working out so that when you do the videos, the whole concept of beef and player mix well...Next, do 3 solo tracks spittin fire...this has to be from the heart and it has to be original...plus it CANNOT say anything about G-UNIT in the backround nor in the chorus...and when you spit yo' shit, make sure that the production is topnotch because if it's not, this will make you vulnerable against your listeners who will be waiting for your enemies to reply to you 3 tracks...stay away from doing a double alum...keep it to 13 tracks and one bonus...the next 3 tracks that I didn't make a recommendation for should be left for strong collabos...these collabos should be chosen very strategically...for instance, don't do shit with Kanye West cause that shit will look and sound fucking wierd! Don't do 50 either cause that shit is played out and expected...You should pick some one that will liven your shit...try and fuck with p-diddy for one track...if he'll pick up your phone calls...then try and do some shit with R-Kelly...shit always sells...just stay away from any junior highschools during the video shoot...and then try to do some shit with Eminimem...this will give your album the variety that it needs to sell your first platinimum status album...while promoting the fact that you're coming out with an album, begin to discuss the contents of your book so that you can marry it to your album...this way they both sell...and if your album does well, you will reap the benefits of doing well with the book because your album has given you the exposure needed...after you come out of prison...you'll be ready to take shit on with the proper cheese in your pocket. So...print this shit, put it up on your wall...don't spend your time at the commissary...get to the writing cause you're gonna need to write more than those 6 pages that currently describes your life right now.
