3.0 out of 5 stars Shyne's got talent, but the album could be better, October 20, 2005

Shyne should have never signed with Bad Boy. It's messed up what Puff and the courts did to him. He definitely has the skills to make it on his own, and Gangland Records was a step in the right direction. I'm positive that when he's released from prison he'll drop some hot sh*t. As for this album, you get the feeling it was thrown together in a hurry with makeshift songs. I wonder why that is? Anywayz, This album has some serious tracks, but the rest of the quality is somewhat poor. Although it's still good to hear Shyne's gritty N.Y. voice, there are plenty of tracks which could have been executed better. Best Tracks: The Gang, More or Less, Quasi O.G., and you gotta hear him tear up 50 on For the Record.

You need to have this album in your collection. The most gangsta dude out there doing it form jail. Shyne !

1. Intro
2. Quais O.G- 5/5 great song discusses politics wit Marley in the background.
3. More or less- 5/5 Dark song , Kanye produced it
4. Behind the Walls - 3/5 Kurupt ruins it
5. Shyne- 5/5 Hot lyrics nd beats , Mashonda nice on the hook
6. For the Record. - Classic 5/5 most ruthless diss song ever
7. Martyr- 4/5 Great song only got 4 because chorus is too repetitive
8. Jimmy choo - Single too get people to buy the album still pretty good song wit ashanti
9. Godfather- More gangsta 5/5
10.The gang - 4/5 Foxxy in it mad good song
11. Edge-5/5 great song great hook beat lyrics , definently a great song
12. Here with me - 5/5 love the beat and lyrics
13. Diamonds and mac 10's -20/20 Best song Just Blaze did the beat and Shyne shows his soft side on how he the only gangsta left and he is really dyin inside.

Bottom line SHYNE= Something different real gangsta Dark and sometimes scary but this is what rap should be dudes with actual meaning to their rymes .

This review is from: Godfather Buried Alive (Audio CD)

Shyne's Godfather Buried Alive was released in late 2003 and it seems the disc has become a forgotten.

Well the disc is mad hot. The production is crazy. The album includes production by Kanye West, Irv Gotti, Swizz Beats, Just Blaze, Moses Leviy among others. The song "More or Less" is hot an "Quasi o.g." has a reggae hip hop thing going on. "Behind The Walls" (east coast gangsta mix) features Korupt and Nate Dogg along with Shyne. You have to wonder if the lyrics are new because Shyne refers to himself as Po on most cuts. Po is a nickname he adopted for himself. The track "Shyne" is just a banger, something for the boys in the streets to pump when they are riding out this summer. The ladies will like this cut also.

On the track "Martyr" Shyne questions whether life is better than death. Ashanti is featured on the track "Jimmy Choo." Foxy Brown also appears on a few cuts. "Godfather" is another cut that is for the streets and the radio.

The album art work is nice. Inside of the disc are not one but two pictures of Shyne and the late Lisa Left Eye Lopes along with older pics of Shyne.

13 cuts deep Godfather Buried Alive is the Shyne album that his fans have been waiting for and fans new and old won't be let down. It was worth the wait.
