Because Prodigy Says So

by: Prodigy

One of hip hop’s most controversial stars blogs bi-weekly for VIBE.com…while serving out a lengthy prison bid.

Below is another blog from my husband, P.  Wanted to thank all of you who have been wishing him well.  He’s doing really well.  Getting his mind right, reading voraciously.  You have to imagine that Mobb Deep have been running since they were teenagers and this is the first time I’ve seen P really have time to slow down.

I can go on and on with what I've learned from being with my husband for many years. But one thing is certain, he is a deep and intense man whom doesn't fear anything.  Throughout his whole life he's faced pain & struggle, in having to battle Sickle Cell Anemia.  So as a man first then an artist, P feels its his purpose to express such truths & raise awareness of the many things he's discovered along his life’s journey. The freedom of speech to verbalize what's on his mind...One truth is very real, the freedom for all races are being taken away without us even knowing.

Hopefully as you read it, you get the whole message and intention of his words rather than lifting parts out and twisting it into something else. Hip-hop was born out of storytellers telling us what’s really going on in the streets.  P’s thoughts are an extension of his ability to verbalize what’s he sees.  Artist who dare to be more than their art are often ostracized. Our greatest voices have come from people who are fearless! – KiKi

THINK I GIVE A FUCK WHAT A CRACKER SAY?!!

WHAT’S GOOD MY PEOPLE?  I MISS YALL OUT THERE.  AS OF NOW THEY GOT ME AT DOWNSTATE CORRECTIONAL FACILITY IN FISHKILL, N.Y… THIS IS A RECEPTION JAIL WHERE THEY EVALUATE YOU AND GIVE YOU AN INMATE CLASSIFICATION.  THEN SEND YOU OFF TO WHICHEVER PRISON YOU DO YA BID. 

I’VE BEEN CLASSIFIED AS MEDIUM AND SHOULD BE LEAVING SOON.  I’VE BUMPED INTO SOME OF 50 & YAYO’S PEOPLE UP IN HERE, AND THEY’VE BEEN SENDING ME BOOKS AND THANGS.  SO, I’VE BEEN READING LIKE NEVER BEFORE.  ONE OF THEY’RE HOMIES NAME IS “EL,” GAVE ME SOME DOPE BOOKS.  2 OF THEM ARE DONALD GOINES NOVELS CALLED “NEVER DIE ALONE” AND “ELDARADO RED.”  I READ THOSE IN LIKE 2 DAYS. 

MY WIFE’S FAVORITE AUTHOR IS DONALD GOINES, WHICH INSPIRED HER TO START WRITING HER OWN BOOKS.  ANYWAY’S I READ THAT IN LIKE 2 DAYS.  THEN EL GAVE ME A BOOK BY ZACH TATE CALLED “LOST & TURNED OUT.”  IT’S A 350-400 PAGE BOOK AND I READ THAT ALSO IN ABOUT 2 DAYS.  “LOST & TURNED OUT,” IS A GOOD READ, WHICH IS BASED AROUND 2 FRIENDS FROM QUEENSBRIDGE.  THE WRITER MUST HAVE BEEN SOMEBODY WHO HUNG AROUND US OR HEARD STORIES ABOUT US, CAUSE IT’S A LOT OF SIMILARITIES OF MOBB DEEP IN THIS BOOK.  BUT, JUST MINOR THINGS, KINDA SPOOKY.

WHEN I WAS DONE WITH THAT EL, BROUGHT ME A BOOK BY NIKKI TURNER CALLED “HUSTLER’S WIFE.”  YET, ANOTHER GOOD BOOK AND I READ THIS TOO, IN ABOUT 2 DAYS.  NIKKI IS A READ GOOD WRITER; I MET HER ONE DAY WHEN I WAS WITH 50.  ALL 3 OF US WERE GONNA WORK ON A LINE OF BOOKS FOR 50’S COMPANY, BUT IT JUST NEVER MATERIALIZED.  WE WILL WORK TOGETHER SOON IN THE NEAR FUTURE.  ANYWAY WHEN I WAS DONE WITH THAT ONE, EL GAVE ME A BOOK BY TERRI WOODS CALLED “DUTCH.”  I JUST STARTED THIS ONE
YESTERDAY, SO I SHOULD BE DONE QUICK, JUST LIKE THE OTHERS.

I LOVE READING & DOING RESEARCH SO THEY REALLY FUCKED UP PUTTIN’ ME IN A CAGE WITH NOTHING TO DO BUT EAT, WORK OUT, READ, WRITE AND SLEEP.  I DON’T THINK THESE PEOPLE OVERSTAND WHAT THEY DID.  MAYBE THEY THOUGHT I WOULD CURL UP AND DIE IN JAIL, WRONG!!!!  WOULD SOMEBODY TELL THESE PEOPLE I’M A REBEL WARRIOR.  YOU CAN’T NEVER MAKE P:  FOLD UP, CURL UP, SHRIVEL UP, OR BITCH UP AND DIE.

PEOPLE MUST OF THOUGHT I WAS JUST TALKING WHEN I SAID 3 _ YEARS WILL ONLY TURN ME INTO A MALCOLM X, BUT WAY MORE DANGEROUS.  LET ME EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO YOU ALL, FOR STARTERS, I CAN READ MOST OF YA MINDS.  YES, I CAN. RIGHT NOW A LOT OF YOU ARE SAYING AS YOU READ THIS BLOG, “THIS STUPID LITTLE RAPPER THINKS HE CAN COMPARE HIMSELF WITH MALCOLM X, BECAUSE HE IS READING SOME SILLY GHETTO NOVELS WHILE DOING A LITTLE BIT OF JAIL TIME!”  SOME OF YOU ARE PROBABLY SAYING, “THAT’S NOT WHAT I WAS THINKING!”  WELL THEN I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU THEN. 

I’M TALKIN’ BOUT THE OTHER THAT WANT SO BAD FOR PRODIGY TO BE A STUPID LITTLE RAPPER, BUT I’M NOT.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, I’VE NEVER READ A DROP OF FICTION IN MY LIFE. BESIDES THE CHILDHOOD DR. SEUSS & MOTHER GOOSE STORIES THAT WE WERE ALL SUBJECT TO AS CHILDREN, AND I AIN’T EVEN MAD AT THOSE.  DR. SEUSS PROBABLY HELPED INFLUENCE MY RAP CAREER & MOTHER GOOSE MADE ME WANNA FUCK  ONCE I REALIZED THAT BITCH WAS LAYING GOLD EGGS.  I’M NOT GONNA EVEN GET INTO WHAT I WANTED TO DO TO SNOW WHITE.  BUT, IT WAS THESE BOOKS AND SOME CARTOONS THAT MADE ME REALIZE WHEN I GOT OLDER, THAT THIS WORLD & SYSTEM IS SET UP TO:  ANNILIATE, HUMILIATE, ILLUMINATE, RAPE, & PILLAGE THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF THIS PLANET.  AND THIS IS MAINLY THE NATIVE AMERICANS & BLACK RACE OF PEOPLE.

QUESTION?

NAME A BLACK CHARACTER IN ANY CLASSIC WALT DISNEY STORY?  SHIT YOU CAN’T EVEN SEE A BLACK EXTRA UNLESS IT’S A MAID OR BUTLER.  AT LEAST NOT WHEN I WAS GROWING UP AND I DOUBT RIGHT NOW.  RECENTLY THEY MADE A FEW ANIMATED MOVIES LIKE:  POCHOHANTAS, ALADDIN, AND LILO & STITCH.  IN THESE MOVIES, THEY HAVE INDIANS AND ARABIAN CHARACTERS BUT I HAVEN’T SEEN A BLACK ANIMATED DISNEY MOVIE YET… SHIT THE ONLY REASON THEY DID POCHOHANTAS IS BECAUSE THE WHITE “LAND THIEVES” FUCKED THE BITCH.  WHAT ABOUT ALL THE OTHER GREAT INDIAN WOMEN? 

YOU  MEAN TO TELL ME IT’S ONLY ONE, THAT’S WORTHY OF A MOVIE AND BOOK?  KINDA REMINDS ME OF HOW HALLE BERRY WON HER OSCAR.  I LOVE HALLE, BUT SHE HAD TO FUCK BILLY BOB TO WIN HER GOLDEN DICKHEAD. (WELL THAT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, A GOLDEN DICK)

WHY IS THAT?  BECAUSE THAT’S HOW WHITE PEOPLE LOOK AT US.  THEY ONLY PUT THE ONE OR TWO BLACKS IN, SO WHEN WE CONFRONT THEM ABOUT BEING RACIST FOR NOT HIRING MORE BLACKS THEY CAN SAY “THAT’S NOT TRUE, LOOK THERE’S A BLACK RIGHT THERE, LOOK AND A BLACK THERE!”  NOWADAY’S WHAT THESE COMPANIES/MAJOR CORPORATIONS DO.

WHY CAN’T WE BE IN THE REGULAR COMMERCIALS?  BECAUSE THE REGULAR AD’S BEING RUN COMES ON AT PRIME TIME & ON EVERY CHANNEL OR OUTLET.  THE “ALL BLACK” VERSIONS ONLY COME ON DURING “ALL BLACK” T.V. SHOWS OR ON “ALL BLACK” CHANNELS / OUTLETS.  ALSO, THE “ALL BLACK” PRINT ADVERTISEMENTS ARE ONLY SEEN IN “ALL BLACK” NEIGHBORHOODS OR IN “ALL BLACK” MAGAZINES SUCH AS: EBONY, JET, XXL, ETC, ETC…..

YES PEOPLE IN THE CORPORATE WORLD, FROM HOLLYWOOD TO INGLEWOOD RACISM IS ALIVE, KICKING AND AS STRONG AS EVER.  THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT INSTEAD OF BEING OVERT, NOW THEY’RE BEING COVERT.  ‘THEY TOOK THE CHAINS OFF OUR FEET AND PUT EM ON OUR BRAINS"……………………SO, GROWING UP I COULDN’T HELP BUT NOTICE ALL OF THESE THINGS AND SEEING HOW SERIOUS THE PROBLEM IS, MADE ME STOP READING THE FICTION.  I THEN STARTED RESEARCHING THE ORIGIN OF ALL THE BULLSHIT.  I BEGIN READING ONLY FACTUAL BOOKS ON HISTORY, SCIENCE, CULTURES, POLITICS AND OTHER REAL ISSUES.  I BEGAN QUESTIONING PEOPLE AND THEIR BELIEFS/BELIEF SYSTEMS.

QUESTIONS LIKE-

HOW DO YOU KNOW “GOD” IS A HE?  AND BEFORE WE WERE BROUGHT HERE AS SLAVES, WHAT RELIGION WERE BLACK PEOPLE? CHRISTIAN? MUSLIM? JEWISH?

THE ANSWER IS-

TRULY, NOBODY CAN TELL YOU IF “GOD” IS A MALE OR FEMALE.  AND, IF THEY TRY TO, THEY’RE LYING TO YOU.  AND BEFORE BLACKS WERE SLAVES; WE WERE SPIRITUAL PEOPLE WITH OUR OWN CONNECTION TO THE CREATOR.  THERE WAS NO BIBLE, KORAN, NOR TORAH.  WE HAD OUR OWN THING GOING ON BEFORE WE WERE SO RUDELY INTERRUPTED.  AND THE NATIVE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAD THEIR OWN THING GOING ON BEFORE THEY WERE SO RUDELY INTERRUPTED. 

I’M NOT A RACIST AT ALL BUT LET’S TAKE A MOMENT TO EXAMINE THE WORD…………… RACIST HMMMMMMMMMMMM. WHAT IS A RACIST REALLY?  WELL, AN HERBALIST IS A PERSON WHO IS A PROFESSIONAL WITH HERBS.  A MOTORIST IS A PERSON WHO IS A PROFESSIONAL WITH A CAR ON THE OPEN ROAD.  A CHEMIST IS A PROFESSIONAL WITH CHEMICALS. A SCIENTIST IS A PRO WITH SCIENCE.  SO ON AND SO ON….SO A RACIST MUST BE A PERSON WHO STUDIES AND PRO WITH UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENT OR ONE PARTICULAR RACE.  AND TRUST THAT I AM CORRECT.  THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS ONE FUCKED UP TRICK KNOWLEDGY SON OF A BITCH.  THE BITCH BEING “THE QUEEN,” AND THE SON BEING ONE OF THEM “SO CALLED” ROYAL BLOODLINE MUTHFUCKAS WHO CREATED AND PASSED THIS STUPID ASS SHIT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 2008. 

THESE “SO CALLED” ROYAL SON’S OF BITCHES GOT A LOT OF DAMN NERVE TO COME AND INVADE THE LAND OF AFRICA AND AMERICA.  THEN BRING IN BOAT LOADS OF MORE WHITE PEOPLE AFTER THEY’VE KILLED EVERYBODY OFF AND SECURE THE TERRITORY, SO THAT IT’S SAFE FOR THE OTHERS TO GET OFF THE BOATS.  THEY GOT A LOT OF DAMN NERVE TO CALL PEOPLE “FOREIGNERS,” “IMMIGRANTS,” AND “ILLEGAL ALIENS”

WHAT?! YOU LITTLE DIRTY ASS, STINKIN ASS, PALE CAVE MAN NIGGA FROM THE CAUCUS MOUNTAINS.  BRINGIN WITH YOU DISEASE, HATRED, LIES, CORRUPTION, DESTRUCTION, PHONEY RELIGION AND SUN BLOCK…YOU ARE IN FACT THE “FOREIGNER!”  THE “IMMIGRANT!” THE “ILLEGAL ALIEN!”  YOU’RE THE ONE THAT DOESN’T BELONG IN AMERICA OR AFRICA, NOT TO MENTION THE OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD. YOU ALL JUST INVADED AND TOOK OVER THROUGH LIES, MASS MURDER AND FEAR. 

STOP ACTING LIKE YOU ALL ARE SO INNOCENT AND EARTH LOVING.  IT’S SAD THAT YOU PUT SUCH A HEAVY BURDEN & GUILT ON YOUR CHILDREN & GRAND-CHILDREN.  ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS IS THE ALCHEMIST AND I SEE THE PAIN IN HIS EYE’S WHEN I LOOK AT HIM. IT’S AMAZING HOW WE CAN SIT AND TALK ABOUT ALL THIS AND WE DON’T GET MAD AT EACH OTHER. 

THAT’S BECAUSE WE KNOW BETTER.  WE KNOW THAT NO MATTER HOW MUCH “RACISM” STILL EXISTS IN THIS WORLD, ITS NOT ABOUT THE COLOR OF OUR SKIN ANYMORE.  THAT IS A TRICK TO KEEP US ALL PRE-OCCUPIED WITH HATE & WAR, SO THAT WE DON’T PAY ATTENTION TO THE REAL PROBLEM. THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT WE ARE ALL LOSING OUR FREEDOMS; OUR FREEDOM TO THINK, SPEAK, READ AND WRITE.  OR OUR FREEDOM TO JUST BE FREE.

WHAT THEY DID TO BLACKS & NATIVE AMERICANS, THEY’RE NOW DOING TO THE ENTIRE PLANET.  IT’S CALLED “ONE WORLD ORDER!”  BUT THEY FIRST BEGAN WITH BLACKS, BECAUSE WE ARE THE MOTHERS & FATHERS OF ALL CIVILIZATION.  CUT OFF THE HEAD & THE BODY WILL FOLLOW….

SO NOW IN 2008, THERE ARE ACTUAL BLACK AND NATIVE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO ARE DOWN WITH THIS DIABOLICAL PLAN TO CONTROL THE WHOLE WORLD. THEY’RE BLACK DEVILS AND/OR NATIVE AMERICAN DEVILS.  THE DEVIL ISN’T A LITTLE RED MAN WITH HORNS AND A PITCH FORK.  NO, THAT’S JUST AN ARTIST RENDITION.  A DEVIL IS VERY EVIL ENERGY OR AN EVIL PERSON….

QUESTION?

HOW DID PLACES LIKE IRAQ, PALESTINE, ISRAEL, AND AFRICA BECOME SO VIOLENT AND WAR STRICKEN?

ANSWER- 

BECAUSE THE EVIL CAUCASIANS THAT CAME FROM EUROPE TO TAKE OVER THE PLANET CREATED GUNS, CANNONS, TANKS, AND WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. THEY ALSO CREATED DISEASES & GERM WARFARE/CHEMICAL WEAPONS.  THEY CREATED ALL THESE THINGS TO USE AGAINST THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE, WHOSE LAND THEY WANTED TO CONQUER & SEIZE.  THEN AFTER THEY INSTILLED ENOUGH FEAR & TOOK OVER, THEY SOLD OR TRADED THE WEAKER, LESS POWERFUL WEAPONS TO THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE AND GAVE THEM A FALSE SENSE OF POWER. REALLY THEY WERE JUST CREATING AND TURNING THE PEOPLE INTO DEVILS LIKE THEMSELVES IN ORDER TO GET THESE PEOPLE TO TURN ON EACH OTHER.

EXAMPLE

WHEN EUROPEANS TAKE OVER A COUNTRY THEY WILL BE-FRIEND A FEW OF THE NATIVES, USUALLY A PERSON OF HIGH RANK WITHING THE SOCIETY; THIS WAY THAT PERSON HAS MAJOR INFLUENCE OVER THE OTHERS. THE EUROPEANS WILL “SAVE THEIR FAMILIES FROM BEING HARMED DURING THE TAKE OVER AND WILL TEACH THEM ENGLISH, GIVE THEM EUROPEAN CLOTHING, LIQUOR, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST GUNS WITH AMAZING RAPID FIRE POWER IN WHICH THEY’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.  NOW THESE NATIVE PEOPLE WILL TAKE ALL OF THESE “WONDERFUL” NEW THINGS BACK TO THEIR VILLAGE AND TELL THE OTHER NATIVES; “THE WHITE MAN IS GOOD, LOOK HE GAVE ME CLOTHES, TAUGHT ME ENGLISH AND GAVE US WEAPONS, SO WE MUST BE FRIENDS WITH THEM!”  AND NOW THE EUROPEANS TURN THESE PEOPLE INTO AGENTS, SPIES, RECRUITERS, AND SELL OUTS.  THEY GIVE THEM FALSE PROMISES AND FALSE HOPE, ONLY TO COMPLETELY TAKE OVER THEIR LAND AND ANNILIATE THEIR POPULATION; ALL IN THE NAME OF DEMOCRACY & FREEDOM.  EUROPEANS CALL IT ‘MANIFEST DESTINY” U CALL IT A BUNCH A BULLSHIT. 

THEY COMPLETELY DESTROYED & POISONED THE ONCE FERTILE SOIL OF AFRICA AND IT’S PEOPLE.  CORRUPTED IT’S GOVERNMENTS, THEN SIT BACK AND ACT AS IF AFRICANS ARE A BUNCH OF WILD, UNCIVILIZED ANIMALS THAT JUST RUN AROUND CHOPPING EACH OTHER UP WITH MACHETES AND MACHINE GUNS.  NO, THE EUROPEANS CAME IN AND MANUFACTURED THE MESS THAT GOES ON NOW. 

SO AS I SIT HERE IN MY CELL; I’M NOT GONNA CRY ABOUT IT BUT I WILL READ, LEARN AND WRITE ABOUT IT ALL WITH A FOCUS LIKE NEVER BEFORE.  AND YES I WILL BE MORE DANGEROUS TO THE CORRUPT WORLD & MORE ELITE THAN MALCOLM X.  BECAUSE I KNEW WHO I WAS/AM WAY BEFORE I ENTERED THIS JAIL.  MALCOLM DIDN’T REALIZE UNTIL HE WAS LOCKED UP AND HE STILL DIDN’T TRULY FIND HIMSELF UNTIL HE MADE A PILGRIMAGE TO MECCA.  THERE HE LEARNED THAT ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE NOT DEVILS & THAT DEVILS COME IN ALL COLORS/RACES.  YES I’M WAY MORE DANGEROUS, WAY MORE AGGRESSIVE AND I GIVE THANKS TO PEOPLE LIKE MALCOLM X. WHO TAUGHT ME NOT TO FEAR ANYBODY OR ANYTHING!!!!!!!!

NOW DO YOU STILL THINK I’M A STUPID LITTLE RAPPER? 

AND DO YOU REALLY THINK I GIVE A FUCK WHAT A CRACKER SAY?
