Prodigy music videos

lbert Johnson, (born November 2, 1974) better known as Prodigy, is an American Grammy Award winning rapper and one half of the hip-hop duo Mobb Deep.

Born in Bradford, New York, on Brooklyn, Prodigy became a member of the duo Mobb Deep. He comes from a musical family—his grandfather, Budd Johnson, and his uncle Keg Johnson are remembered for their contributions to the Bebop era of jazz.[2] Propelled to awareness partially by fellow rapper Nas, who took a similar approach lyrically on his Illmatic album from 1994, as well as with the aid of a successful single, "Shook Ones Pt. 2," Mobb Deep released The Infamous. A year later, in 1996, Prodigy and Havoc released Hell on Earth; debuting at number six on SoundScan the album was composed with both evocative beats and cinematic rhymes that communicated the dark side of New York's urban landscape. Due to a grim video for "Hell on Earth (Front Lines)" and theatrical Scarface-like photos inside the CD booklet picturing the duo with guns and a mound of cocaine, Mobb Deep had created an elaborate image for themselves that took hardcore gangsta rap to a new level for East Coast hip hop. Its next release, Murda Muzik, was heavily bootlegged while still in its demo stage, leaking, onto the streets and over the internet, rough versions of the nearly 30 songs the duo had recorded

He completed work on his third solo album H.N.I.C. Part 2, which was previewed on his official mixtape The Return of the Mac on the independent label Koch Records.[citation needed] The mixtape single and mixtape video are called "Mac 10 Handle,". H.N.I.C. Pt. 2 was released through Voxonic Inc., of which Prodigy is an equity holder.[3] In late 2009, Mobb Deep were released from their contract with 50 Cent's G-Unit label.[4] He is currently serving a 3 year prison sentence in midstate correctional facility for a gun charge and will be released on March 7th 2011.

Prodigy said multiple times that he's in jail because he dissed the Illuminati. [5]

Scheduled for release from prison next month after a three year sentence on gun possession charges, Prodigy has an autobiography set to hit bookstores in Spring 2011.

Titled 'My Infamous Life: The Autobiography of Mobb Deep’s Prodigy', the book was penned by Prodigy and Laura Checkoway and sees release on April 19, 2011 via Touchstone Books.

“The book centers around Prodigy’s upbringing, his career as a superstar rapper along with Mobb Deep member Havoc, his various altercations throughout his colorful career and his time behind bars,” report AllHipHop, who have also been informed of Prodigy’s scheduled release from prison in March 7th 2011.
[edit] Feuds
[edit] 2Pac

In 1993 to 1999, the East Coast-West Coast hip hop rivalry was occurring. This "beef" started when Tha Dogg Pound released "New York, New York". Mobb Deep took offense to that and with Capone-N-Noreaga and Tragedy Khadafi they released "LA, LA" in response. 2Pac "dissed" Mobb Deep (along with The Notorious B.I.G.) in "Hit 'Em Up" where he made the remark " Oh yeah, Mobb Deep, you wanna fuck with us?/You little young ass motherfuckers/Don't one of you niggaz got sickle cell or somethin? " as a taunt to his ailment and "When We Ride on Our Enemies" . Mobb Deep responded in a diss track called "Drop A Gem On 'Em" which was released as a single after 2Pac was murdered, although the song came out before his death. 2Pac also dissed Mobb Deep on the song "Against All Odds"[6] which was released after his death. But Prodigy later sampled 2Pac's voice from a freestyle for the chorus on the song "Return of the Mac" (a.k.a. "New York Shit") on his album with the same name. His affiliate and fellow rapper Majesty, who had made a song with 2Pac (Which was never released) called "Big Time" (also featuring 2Pac's frequent collaborator Stretch and the late E-Moneybags) paid tribute to 2Pac on a skit called "Madge Speaks", on the same album.
[edit] Keith Murray

On The Infamous, made remarks about rappers who rap about "smoking weed" and talk about "space shit".[7] Def Squad took offense but the feud was settled when Prodigy and Keith Murray met at a video shoot.[7] The feud was rekindled when Prodigy again referenced "space shit" in his appearance on LL Cool J's "I Shot Ya" which also featured Murray. Murray saw Prodigy at a club one night and punched him.[7] Prodigy recalled the altercation and threatened Murray in the song "In the Long Run" on Hell on Earth. Murray released a song "Call My Name" on his Enigma album dissing Mobb Deep. The feud seemed to die down until Prodigy dissed Murray again in his 2004 song "Bad Blood." Murray has responded with numerous songs since.[7]
[edit] Saigon

During an interview Prodigy stated that he didn't like Saigon, Tru-Life or many other rappers for that matter and dissed Prodigy back in an interview.

On the night of September 19, 2007, after an impromptu performance by Saigon during a Mobb Deep show, words were exchanged between Saigon and Prodigy.[8] This escalated into an argument, which resulted with Saigon punching Prodigy twice and running out the club.[9] Two video versions of the events have since emerged. One version with slow motion footage shows a clear look of Saigon hiding under a table, while another video shows Saigon running away from the club, scared of mobb deep crew.[10]
[edit] Crooked I

While in prison, Prodigy wrote a letter about his disillusionment with hip hop and rappers. He directly referenced Crooked I's name in the rant about vibe.com's best rapper alive 2008, specifically commenting,
“ Vibe says 920,000 people voted for it. I would personally b*tch slap all 920,000 of these voters if given the opportunity. Who in the f*ck picked Crooked I, Flo Rida and Rich Boy? How did Vibe approve this? ”

Crooked I has since responded in a blog entry, challenging Prodigy to a one-on-one fight upon the rapper's release.[11]
