Shyne is the self-titled debut album by rapper Shyne. It was released by Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs'Bad Boy Records on September 26, 2000.[1] Shyne had been hyped prior to the album's release as similar in style and delivery to the deceased Notorious B.I.G. Shyne had also drawn unfavorable media attention for being convicted in June 2000 for his involvement in a nightclub shooting. Shyne was incarcerated at the time of this album's release. The album peaked at number 5 on the Billboard 200. It sold very well, eventually achieving Gold status.[2] It contained fewer guest artists than most Bad Boy releases. The singles from the album, 'Bad Boyz,' 'Bonnie & Shyne' (which both feature Barrington Levy), and 'That's Gangsta,' were only moderate hits.

Godfather Buried Alive (stylised as godfather buried alive)[2] is the second studio album by AmericanrapperShyne. It was released on August 10, 2004 by Def Jam, while Shyne was in the middle of serving a 10-year jail sentence for a 1999 shooting in New York City. The album included 13 tracks, 12 of which were previously recorded vocals, while one was recorded over the phone from jail. It features guest appearances from Kurupt, Nate Dogg, Foxy Brown and Ashanti, and production from Kanye West, Swizz Beats, Mike Dean and Just Blaze, among others. The album debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 with 158,000 copies sold in its first week, making Shyne the second rapper after 2Pac to have an album debut in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 while incarcerated.
Background[edit]
After the release of his debut album in September 2000, Shyne was sentenced to 10 years in prison in June 2001 and released from his contract with Bad Boy Entertainment.[3] A bidding war ensued, with numerous labels meeting with Shyne in prison and offering him contracts. Shyne eventually signed a $3 million contract with Def Jam Records, and plans were made to release his second studio album. Due to the fact Shyne was unable to professionally record new music while in prison, the album was largely composed of music he had recorded prior to his incarceration. Certain lines, however, were recorded over a prison phone. The only song fully recorded from prison was For The Record, a diss track recorded over the phone and made in response to 50 Cent dissing Shyne on Hot 97 during a freestyle.[4][5]
