Prodigy To Write A New Book All About His Prison Stay

By XXL:

Prodigy’s first book, My Infamous Life: The Autobiography of Mobb Deep’s Prodigy, drew solid reviews and also stirred a great deal of controversy amongst several of P’s rap peers upon its April 2011 release.

But as much as Prodigy divulged about his life in the book, there was one significant chunk of his life missing—his three-and-a-half-year jail bid at the Mid-State Correctional Facility in New Jersey from October 2007-March 2011 for criminal possession of a weapon.

P left that experience out of his autobiography because he’s working on a second book that will detail only his experience behind bars.

This one is strictly and entirely about my experience in jail,Prodigy told XXLMag.com. “I left that out of the first book on purpose, so I could put this out.

It’s basically my experience—day by day—like a diary joint, type of thing,” he continued. “You know, what was going on in there, what I experienced in there and what I took out of it. Just the whole story. Only a few people will know what that’s like, the people I met and how the COs (correction officers) were, just different things like that.

Although P didn’t give a timetable for the book to come out, it remains to be seen how names that the rapper brings up in the second book respond.

A few names that Prodigy brought up in his autobiography didn’t take too kind by him mentioning them. Noreaga, for one, refuted Prodigy’s account of a particular beef within their Queens crews and told media his version of how the bad blood sparked back in the day.

His people did jump me, they jumped me,Nore told Power 105′s The Breakfast Club last August. “They jumped me because I shot somebody. Then…after they jumped me, I shot him again. So, how can you describe the situation like you won? So, that was my only problem [with the book] because at the end of the day, Prodigy didn’t lie, he exaggerated.”—Mark Lelinwalla

Doesn't it seem funny that Mobb Deep never addressed the jail situation together in an interview. Now all of a sudden he's writing a book about his experience in jail? Sort of makes you wonder if the story is true. It be the dudes you least expect who mess with homos jail.

i got mad luv for P(no homo) but as a mobb deep fan i feel obligated to tell you that i personally will not be reading this book just cause it's really not interesting to me n that's just my opinion, i'll tell you y i got fam n friends that's been to jail n i hear stories all the time but it's not anything that would make me want to read a book about a person's experience in there kno what i'm sayin, but hey do you man as long as the money coming in it's all good lol

Nobody except a homo is going to want to read this trash about P getting his shlt pushed in during his daily grind. Only homo's write a diary anyway.

Isn't P a HOMO. That's what havoc said right.

First off the world wasn't checking for him when he went in. And nobodys cared since you got out. Do you know how many people went to prison that told all about what you about to write? @Jimmy-Conway7 don't waste your money man. Nobody's checking for him. Lets hope he paid his taxes before he went to prison. And HNIC 3 is not gonna be dope. He gone tell you the same s*** about himself that he told you before over a different beat.

P need to stop acting like those 3 and a half he did were something big. Thats nothing compared to people that got football numbers and was down when prison was really poppin off like in the 70s and 80s. someone like that should be writing a book not this minimum security inmate..
