Prodigy Talks New Mobb Deep Album, The Illuminati, Working With Nas, & 50 Cent

P says that he was talking about conspiracies dating back to the 1996, why he and Havoc have managed to never have a public falling out, and why he's not tripping who gave Jay-Z the Summer Jam flick.

Speaking to Mobb Deep’s Prodigy is like having a conversation with your favorite college professor. He’s knowledgeable on a variety of topics, but only reveals enough about each to imply he knows better. At 15 years old, Prodigy read the conspiracy theorist bible Behold a Pale Horse by William Cooper. He read it four times just to make sure he ingested all of the information completely. That repetition until you get it “right” has echoed throughout his entire career. From constantly bettering himself lyrically as one half of Mobb Deep to the unfortunate repeated arrests, Prodigy is no stranger to multiples.

In 2008, he entered prison for a three-year term for criminal possession of a weapon. After a series of arrests in his past, this was the one that stuck. Perhaps his jail term was how he finally got it “right”, as his term (which ended in March) led to the completion of his autobiography My Infamous Life , along with over 200 new rhymes and a changed man. Admittedly sober and back on a natural diet of spirituality and exercise, Prodigy is gearing for the September release of Mobb Deep’s eighth studio album. While currently free agents, the Queens rap duo may still drop the album on G-Unit with 50 Cent. It’s all up in the air, and P is fine with that.

With a new lease on life, Prodigy plans to give Hip Hop what it’s been missing for so long: self-awareness.

HipHopDX: What has life been like for you since you were released from prison?

Prodigy: It’s just non-stop work – hundreds of songs, been in the studio making madd songs and doing a lot of interviews. We’re just starting to do a lot of concerts now, so we’re getting back on the road. Just catching up with all this technology, all these new websites. Just gettin’ back out there, nah mean? Gettin’ the word back out there.

DX: Do you find it’s difficult being a veteran rapper in a market where there’s a new younger rapper trying to make his way in every five minutes?

Prodigy: Nah, I mean, that’s just the way the game is. You’re always gonna have new artists coming out constantly. It’s a good thing. I just take it as, you know, that’s just the business. I was once that young rapper trying to come out with my single, so it’s all good.

NEWTON - SOMETIMES WHEN WE TOUCH (A TOUCH OF HOUSE) LYRICS

You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
