His self-titled debut album on Combs' powerhouse Bad Boy Entertainment label was released in September 2000. Shyne's career got derailed before it really got going. His lawyers, according to, are filing an appeal of the verdict against Shyne and hope to get him out within the next 12 months.Ī previous move to have the conviction set aside failed last year. He is not slated to be released from the state prison in Dannemora, N.Y., before 2009. Shyne was convicted of gun possession and assault for firing a gun in the crowded club and hitting at least one person. Combs and his bodyguard, Anthony "Wolf" Jones, were acquitted of gun possession charges. Three people were wounded in the melee, which reportedly started after a patron insulted Combs, who was there with then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez. It’s just a few of us is able to suppress that creep, and some of us are able to extract it from our soul altogether.Shyne was sentenced to prison in 2001 when he was 19 for his part in the 1999 shootout at Club New York. It’s disappointing when they don’t live up to themselves, but you roll. Nah, I’ma die, too! So you hope or you take for granted that all men are the same. Again, if you’re in battle, I’ll catch a bullet, too. Never been in a situation like that, where he facing years, and he got hundreds of millions and all that shit at stake. Shyne (born Jamal Moses Barrow on November 8, 1979), is a Belizian rapper and singer that rose to fame after being founded by DJ Clark Kent and signing to Puff Daddy’s Bad Boy Entertainment in. Those are the people that do anything, regardless of character and integrity, to preserve and protect themselves, regardless of who they hurt. When you’re afraid and you’re emotional, that’s a different survival tactic. For him, I don’t know whether he was nervous, afraid. If muthafuckas was banding together and we was all on the same team. Yeah, if it was handled different, muthafuckas could have did a shorter stretch. It ain’t about, Yo, did I do the right thing? Of course I did the right thing. But when you do what’s right, then any red-blooded human being, ya dig? A muthafucka threatenin’ your life, you do what you gotta do now. For me, when you do things for show or you do things for wrong reasons, then you might think of consequences, and you calculate. Then the body will automatically shut down. The foot is gon’ work until you get to that point where it’s okay. So it’s more important for your body to get to a place where it won’t die, than to just not work. Because your body is designed to preserve. When you runnin’ on your foot that you just got shot on, not until you get to where it’s safe do you collapse. Your survival instincts tell you to protect and preserve, and you deal with whatever later. You gon’ roll and say hi to Satan, not me. On June 1, 2001, Shyne was sentenced to ten years in prison. Shynes debut album was released in 2000 and was successful.
#GANGLAND SHYNE ALBUM TRIAL#
Combs was arrested but acquitted at trial of charges. I don’t wanna be laid up in no fuckin’ hospital with a tube runnin’ through me, hurtin’ and sufferin’. Shyne, then 20 with an album pending release, was charged with and later convicted of attempted murder, assault, and reckless endangerment. If somebody tryna kill or hurt one of my partnas or my comrades that’s with me, there is no, Yo… or Damn, well, if I pull this shit out, this is what’s gonna happen. If I’ma defend myself, I’ma defend myself. And I don’t give a fuck what the consequences are. In my life, when I make decisions to roll, I roll. Not even a possibility-a strong probability.
No, that is a fuckin’ damn near probability.
