How was the doc? Thinking about checking it out
Shyne was my favorite rapper for awhile, when I was around 14-15, I came up on his music and story, so there's some bias for me.
I don't watch a lot of documentaries, they are usually really cheaply done and superficial, but this was pretty clean for a rap documentary. There's some standard dumb stuff like guys playing it coy about some shyt that happened 25 years ago. They had pretty solid interviews with Kevin Liles, his childhood friends, his Mom, his Dad. It's a thoughtfully done documentary. It's also a little too clean and friendly, but I expect that.
It's lacking in terms of really fleshing out the 1998/1999 days in the rap game, macro and micro. We never hear about the songs he did around that time, like it's not detailed the way I would want it to be, but it's decent. The Club NY shooting could have been an hour, but it's over in about 15 minutes or less. Goes into how quick the fall out was between him and Puff. I wonder what the debut album would have sounded like, had he not caught the case.
There's a great story about Puff Daddy from Gene Deal. Note: Puff in a dog cage. It shed a lot of light on what happened to Shyne around 2010, because I had no fukking idea. He was so wack, and so weird, I just wrote him off like a lot of rappers from that era. but his come back is pretty inspiring, it made me feel good to have watched his rise in real time. Like he wasn't just another rapper who threw his life away, and how time can change things.

You gonna look real stupid in a few weeks
Y’all worship celebrities too much, that’s all ima say
This is sillyThe real question is which accent is Shyne going to use when he responds?
I’m Jamaican and I can turn my accent on and off …. Some people can’t like my parents they sound straight up Jamaican and they have been here for 40 plus years
I’m convinced most of yall nikkaz on this site are from a small ass hick town and y’all never left yall block
The accent thing is interesting, because almost EVERYONE talks a little different depending on the context. It's a normal part of life, for almost everyone. But, not everyone is actually from another country, and lived in the US for 25 years or whatever.
To me, it's like a social media thing, (this is called context collapse) where you run the two videos back to back, and it feels funny I guess. but what should he do? Talk Brooklyn street shyt at a political rally? Aren't these all just contrasting different contexts of a persons life?
I sound different based on who I am talking to, or even what I am talking about. I'm pretty consistent overall, but if you catch me with 3 old friends, talking about Shyne, drug cases, girls, whatever, I won't sound the exact same as when I am on a date with some professional class woman. When I talk to my Dad, I'll curse, but I won't be as profane as normal. Or if you had a video of me threatening someone, lapsing into old slang, losing my temper, and played it in contrast to me on some lover boy shyt on the phone, I would look funny too. but so would all of us.

Diddy about to get everyone who slandered him.
more on the accent thing:
Before social media, you spoke to different “audiences” — family members, friends, colleagues, and so forth — in different ways. You modulated your tone of voice, your words, your behavior, and even your appearance to suit whatever social “context” you were in (workplace, home, school, nightclub, etc.) and then readjusted the presentation of yourself when you moved into another context.
a social network, the theory went, all those different contexts collapsed into a single context. Whenever you posted a message or a photograph or a video, it could be seen by your friends, your parents, your coworkers, your bosses, and your teachers, not to mention the amorphous mass known as the general public. And, because the post was recorded, it could be seen by future audiences as well as the immediate one. When people realized they could no longer present versions of themselves geared to different audiences — it was all one audience now — they had to grapple with a new sort of identity crisis
