Remember this guy?

Shyne 


Locked up for 7 years now, hoping to get out by the end of the year. His official release date is 2009. Listening back to his first release he clearly paved the way for explicit (exaggerated) coke tales and violence with no vocal conscious making full use of freedom of expression. Thats the liberal artistic viewpoint at least, you could say, it's more bullshit you heard before from a different voice. Nowadays these type of raps are commonplace (jeezy, the clipse) but after getting thrown under (into) the bus by Puffy on a one way ticket to prison he at least serves as a reminder of what happens when art imitates life or vice versa depending on your own perspective.
