I can't believe its been 10 yrs (or almost) since Shyne caught the charge that would put his promising career on hold. Now I remember when Shyne 1st hit the scene on a couple of badboy remix's and Mase's song "from Scratch" he was met with a lot of criticism and the vocal comparisons to Biggie didn't help either.
Somehow after a few more appearances and some notable records from the Brooklyn Native people changed their attitudes and immediately gravitated to "Po".
One thing you couldn't and still can't deny is how nice Shyne was and still is. To this day I watch his rap city freestyle when i feel like starting something.
Unfortunately as soon as his album was getting the necessary momentum he caught the charge and the rest is history.
Funny thing about Shyne's debut album was that it suffered due to the case interfering with the promotion but still managed to go platinum. The singles were playing and are still playing to this day. His sophomore album that was released 4 yrs into his bid in 2004 went gold within weeks and even debut at number 3 on the top 200 imagin that.
Jus imagine if the chips were stacked slightly differently.......
