Prodigy - Return of the Mac

Got Prodigy's 'as told to' autobiography to read on my plane home. Other than the clumsy narration (ideas repeated multiple times in same paragraph, characters reintroduced unnecessarily, etc), it's pretty interesting.

Some of it obviously seems "tall tale"-ish but Prodigy seems like he was an extreme dickhole in his youth. Conveniently, in the timeline, he skipped from 1987 to 1989 (I wanted to hear him explain the ballerina pic -- he keeps bitching about how he hated that kind of dancing in this book). I have a feeling it'll come up when he gets to 2001.

lol I totally don't remember this..

so it says Prodigy is serving jail time for his most recent firearms offense, his third.

anybody know anything about the first two?

book = Prodigy trying really hard to insist he was a ruffian growing up. not that I don't believe it, but despite his best attempts, you can tell being painted as phony by Jay-Z really put a chip on his shoulder.

He also claims that a friend connected with Tupac stated that Tupac knew who shot him in the studio, and only blamed Biggie/Puffy in the press because he felt the controversy would help his sales.

so weird that "Veterans Memorial Part 2" off of H.N.I.C. II essentially IS dude's book in 3 minute form. Most of the major stories he tells are touched on in it.

RIP

noooooo
