Hip hop artist Prodigy from the hip hop click Mobb Deep has done an interview with DJ Whoo Kid on G-Unit Radio. The interview follows the conviction and sentencing of the hip hop artist to 3 and a half years in jail for gun possession. Police officers found the illegal gun after pulling over Prodigy, who was traveling with hip hop producer Alchemist, when they pulled the Suburban over for making an illegal U-turn on Ninth Ave.

During the interview Prodigy seem to act like the time was no big deal - I gotta do a little 3 ½," the Queensbridge hip hop rap MC told Whoo Kid. "I had to cop out to a 3 ½...the hip-hop cops, they all over me son. They took my bullet proof truck. But I'll be right back though."

Also in the interview he revealed that police officials tried to persuade him to ‘set up’ the leader of the G-Unit label, 50 Cent., by asking him to plant evidence inside the rapper's car - but he wouldn't do it.

He told DJ Whoo Kid, "All they doing is making me stronger, they don't even know what they doing. They making me Malcolm X right now." (Malcolm X? – WTF)

Prodigy has revealed he'll hold off the planned 2008 release of his new album, HNIC 2, but he's hard at work on mix-tapes he plans to release through next year - as he serves his time.

He said, "I'll always stay relevant in the streets through my music." Prodigy will report to jail on January 9 (08).

*Prodigy (and Mobb Deep’s other member Havoc ) were always dissed by the late hip hop icon Tupac Shakur (2Pac) especially about Prodigy's disease, sickle cell anemia.

In the song ‘When We Ride on Our Enemies’ Tupac (2Pac) says:

"Nigga you're barely breathing, don't you got sickle cell? See me and have a seizure on stage, you ain't feeling well. Hell, how many niggaz wanna be involved? See I was only talking to Biggie, but I kill all y'all"

Havoc and Prodigy started rapping in the late 1980s when the two met at the High School of Art and Design in New York City. Havoc took on the role of producer, while Prodigy assumed the position of primary hip hop rapper. They originally dubbing themselves the Poetical Profits, but they later changed their name to Mobb Deep.
