P’s bounceback album was the appropriately titled Return of the Mac, arguably one of the Top 10 albums of 2007. Thankfully, he keeps the creative juice flowing throughout H.N.I.C. 2. He sounds more mature, more articulate, yet more irreverent than ever. Now, all that will probably change after he goes to jail. I can’t think of too many rappers that have been able to drop a decent album after being locked up. Must be that jail food.

An Album I Care About Today: H.N.I.C. 2
Prodigy's Big Going Away Party
As the clock continued to tick down for Prodigy, his fans, family and industry buddies came out to support the rapper at B.B. Kings, last night. For those who don’t recall, P pleaded guilty to unlawful gun possession charges on October 9th, 2007. Being his third gun conviction, the Queensbridge lyricist was facing a fifteen-year sentence. Having struck a plea bargain, though, gave Prodigy a commuted sentence of 3½ years in jail.
The facility was packed to the teeth. Armed with a mass array of video cameras and digital ones capturing the event, Prodigy was joined on stage by many of his Infamous Mobb affiliates, Alchemist, Big Noyd and Cormega. “I came out to wish the homie well,” Darren Simonson said as he drove from Long Island for the event. “P is one of my favorites and I hope that he keeps his head up,” he continued.
With the streets showcasing their love of the prison bound rapper, the HNIC performed “Shook Ones Pt. 2,” “Quiet Storm,” “A, B, C’s” and their hits with G-Unit.
