To get everyone up to speed, G-Unit member and Mobb Deep rapper Prodigy is about to be sent up for 3 1/2 years on a gun possession charge (a charge for which he claims he was set up). In the days before he is sent away on January 9 he has been recording a new album – HNIC Part 2, set for release this spring – and video blogging his last days for upstart video site Kyte. The vids range from silly (taping his New Year’s Eve with his wife) to serious (giving final shout-outs to everyone) to just plain random (taking a whiz). But ultimately they’re a compelling look at someone trying to enjoy their last days of freedom. The most SFW video is above and continues on with the whole channel, which is also here. It’s impressive that someone would be this determined to produce a body of work and share it with so many people. Regardless, this is an actual real talk video. If you feel moved, you can leave P a message on the site.
