Let’s ease through & make the e-rounds rather quickly so we can get these things behind us & move forward with our lives…
– Shyne is real close to being a free man within calendar year.
According to the New York Post’s Page Six, the Brooklyn rapper (born Jamal Barrow), who has been incarcerated since 2001, will exit the jail confines a year earlier than his expected 2009 release date.
Right or wrong, Shyne’s paid his proverbial debt to society. As a fan, I’ll be glad when I can say “FREE SHYNE PO!” for the last time.
– Did you not know that Prodigy was an OG…blogger?
According to his latest blog entry, P is a trendsetter in many arenas including the innernuts. Swiped from NahRight…
“#19 WEB SITES, I HAD INFAMOUSSTORES.COM AND WAS WRITING BLOGS BACK IN 99 LONG BEFORE IT BECAME POPULAR IN HIP HOP TO HAVE A WEB SITE.”
I’m considering starting a petition to keep P OUT of jail because his value to society has definitely risen for the comedic value of these “blog” entries.
– Dwayne took a flight in from Mars to grant an interview to MTV…
“None on my music,” he answered. “Me, personally, I get looked at a little differently by some of my fans and some people, period. I can’t do nothing about that. I can try. … That’s what it get looks at as, you’re just trying. So I don’t try. I just be me. It is what it is. Take it or leave it. But as far as my music, it’s done nothing to my music. Nothing could stop that. I’d have to be brain-dead to stop that. Everybody has incidents, everybody’s human. I made a mistake. I did make a mistake — a big mistake. I made a mistake with that, but things get better. I’ll get better.”
The more I read or see video interviews with Dwayne…the more my head hurts as I try to comprehend what the hell was said. I can’t imagine being the interviewer, having to listen, soak it in & move from question to question not knowing which navigational direction Weezy’s previous answer came from.
– In the “Rappers Doing Good” category…
Rapper Young Jeezy will grant the winner of his “Make Your Dreams Come True” contest tomorrow evening (February 26) at Justin’s Restaurant in his hometown of Atlanta. The contest offered one lucky winner a chance to have a wish granted by Young Jeezy, who held a contest inviting fans to share their dreams and aspirations.
I’d burn in hell if I said anything negative involving a paraplegic…so, I’ll leave it @ “Kudos” to Jeezy.

“But as far as my music, it’s done nothing to my music. Nothing could stop that. I’d have to be brain-dead to stop that.”
Uhmm… yeah…brain dead, you say?
Shyne shot his cannon to defend Puff’s honor. He needs to do another 10 in celebrity rehab…
percocet makes a great breakfast…
That Prodigy shit is hilarity. Seriously.
How dare you question his trendsetting?
Big up to Shine, I’m glad to hear he’ll be out soon. I hope he sends some goons to shoot Puff in the ass for being a fucking sellout; Shine kept it G and did his time. I hope he can get back to making music and building a new and better life, I’m pretty sure he has a lot to get off his chest when he gets out.
I was jus wondering about Shine last week, glad to hear he’s coming home…..And my brother Los, hold ya head
That’s a good look for Jeezy too bad mainstream won’t mention
“Belize elected their first black prime minister, former foreign minister Dean Barrow – who is also the father of Brooklyn rapper Shyne.”
^^Major moves.
I’ll always have a soft spot for Shyne because of the boondocks strip where Riley holds a “Free Shyne” sign up and the boonies residents try to get him to shine their shoes.
Whut up,
I’m looking for the OST from THE WIRE “And All The Pieces Matter…”. Anybody got a link, hook me up. Thanx

Word, It’ll be interesting to see what Shyne does with his career when he gets out. I hope he still makes music, I’m sure his years in the pen birthed some new ideas…I wonder if Game is goin to reach out to him and try to sign him to BWS cuz I remember rumors about that a while back…
