A
rapper whose real name is Jamal Barrows. Released
self-titled
debut album in September of 2000 to mixed reviews. It has been said that his
raps are very skillful and show the
illa of life in the
ghetto. However, Shyne's violent lyrics came under fire during his recent
trial (A.K.A. the
Puff Daddy assault/
bribery trial), and he has also been called a
Notorious B.I.G wannabe. His career was likely
ended when he was sentenced to
ten years in jail for firing a
gun in a nightclub.
Violent lyrics? Like this:
"Fuck what your point it, my point is double fours at your fucking jaws, pointed. Hollow point shit, four points sit, need I say more, or do you get the point, bitch?"
