It’s Bad Boy For Life? Artists Whose Talents Are/Were Wasted Under Bad Boy Records
Shyne
You know your talents are pretty much being wasted as all hell when you pick up an attempted murder charge thanks to a brotha. Shyne didn’t even have the chance to make the most of his time with Bad Boy before he was out of the picture, even though he was very much hyped about during his time with the label due to his rhyme style and the fact that he sounded somewhat like the Notorious B.I.G. While prepping the release of his self-titled debut album, Shyne got caught up in a nightclub shooting while out with Diddy and then girlfriend Jennifer Lopez that injured three people and put him in jail for attempted murder, among other charges, for 10 years. While in jail, he allegedly severed his ties with Diddy and Bad Boy Records, looking for a new record company while incarcerated (because obviously hanging with Diddy got him…”got”). Man, “Bad Boyz” and “Bonnie & Shyne” were my jams! A unique talent for sure. But unfortunately, we didn’t get to hear too much of what he had to offer after his night at the club put his career on hold. But word is, now that he’s back out (but living in Belize after being deported), that he signed to Cash Money Records in the summertime…not sure how I feel about that though…
