Farewell, young Prodigy

phongone

So Prodigy, aka Bandana P, aka Ballerina P, starts his 3 1/2 year bid for gun charges today. Apparently, he was facing a maximum of 15 years and was set to go to trial, but decided to cop a plea after the jury that was enpaneled was all white (hard to believe in NY). I wish the dude best of luck and hopes he comes out a stronger man. Hopefully, HNIC 2 will be good. Here's an interesting Village Voice article on him and the "Hip Hop" police unit that got him. NYPD got no love for no rappers.http://www.villagevoice.com/music/0807,checkoway,79113,22.html/full

did his plea involve, er, "cooperation"?
