yeah, this is true. I remember this in real time, barely from around 2000. Shyne lived a wild life. Nearly murdered in the streets, almost killed in the industry, shoots up a club with Puff and Jennifer Lopez, and has to 10 years. Becomes the PM of Belize.
JM also had that shootout in 2001 at Hot 97. It was a different time in the game, with less information. I used to google MTV NEws and NY Daily News article for scraps about Shyne and various rap shyt around that time. If you were lucky you got a view COURTTV articles about the trial, now, we wold have video, the whole indictment, and 25 videos breaking it down.
also, was KIM still signed to Bad Boy? Shyne was Puff's protege, he wasn't fukking with Cease and those dudes at all by 1999, after that Cease A Leo album. Which came out on what label?
