NEWS: Prodigy's Farewell Concert
Somehow I knew something like this would go down at Prodidy's farewell party at BB Kings the other night. And ouch @ only 150 fans showing up. And 50 Cent doesn't even show up? No other G-Unit members aside from some cat I've never even heard of? What's up with that? From TSS's recap:
So, out comes G-Unit’s newest addition, Maserati Fox with his Dumb Out clique. Three atrocious songs (in which Maserati didn’t rap any full verses), 10,000 cries of “G-G-G-G-Unit!” and 234,000 calls of “Dumb Out” later, the most exciting thing to grace the stage up to that point makes its timely arrival… a plastic beer cup, which pelts Maserati square in the sternum. After a look too priceless for words, Maserati Ron Artests it into the crowd, his whole gang of Dumb Out goons right behind. As they search for the cup-thrower, the rest of the crowd is teetering over whether they want the night to become brawl at The Palace II and collectively stomp this G-Unit clown, or wait peacefully while Maserati gets brought back to the stage and the night goes forward as planned, a bit ahead of schedule. Read TSS's full recap of the night here.

LISTEN: Big Noyd - The Money
DOWNLOAD Big Noyd - The Money (MP3)

Big Noyd might end up being the best MC in the Mobb Deep camp when Prodigy goes to jail in a few weeks. Not sure if he's showcasing that on 'The Money's tired concepts. Off of the upcoming album Illustrious.

VIDEO: Prodigy Teaches Son
Maybe it's just me, but I find this video of jailbound Prodigy teaching his son how to use a pump action rifle kind of disturbing. Particularly the commentary from both P and the female holding the camera. And it's not a pistol, but a pump action rifle. And at a neglible distance of like 5 feet from the target. It's hard to miss something up that close with a weapon like that.

NEWS: Mark Morrison To Sign With Cash Money
The original 'Return Of The Mack', way before Plagiarism P (Eskay inside joke), Mark Morrison has allegedly signed a multi-million dollar deal with Cash Money Records and is set to return with new album Innocent Man in 2008. He's wearing their chain below.

Believe it or not this will be his first record since Return Of The Mack in the mid-90s due to some legal problems, jail time (seem to be a common thing among Macks that Return), and something that never works out well: a record deal with Death Row Records. (picture source)

DOWNLOAD Prodigy - My World is Empty Without You (MP3)

Prodigy is putting in a lot of work before he enters the penitentiary for 3.5 years. This song is allegedly off of H.N.I.C. and I kinda dig it. Nice and soulful and gully.

DOWNLOAD Alchemist - We Got This Ft. Prodigy (MP3)

Alchemist and Prodigy team up for 'We Got This' off of Hot Chemistry. Prodigy actually shouts out Nas as one of the only two MCs he respects, with the other being Biggie Smalls. A decidedly old-school beat, without the usual soulfulness Al is known for.
