Shyne Blames 1999 Shooting On ‘Survival Instincts’

Rapper shares his feelings about Diddy in September cover story of XXL. By Jayson Rodriguez Shyne on the cover of the September 2010 edition of XXL Photo: XXL Expatriated rapper Shyne graces the September cover of XXL, and in the issue, the formerly jailed star talks about his gun case, Diddy and the decision he made more than 10 years ago that changed his life forever. “In my life, when I make decisions to roll, I roll,” Shyne told the magazine about firing a gun while partying with Diddy and the mogul’s then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez at Club New York. “And I don’t give a f— what the consequences are. If I’ma defend myself, I’ma defend myself. If somebody tryna kill or hurt one of my partnas or my comrades, that’s with me, there is no, ‘Yo,’ or, ‘Damn, well, if I pull this sh– out, this is what’s gonna happen.’ No! I don’t wanna die. I don’t wanna be laid up in no f—ing hospital with a tube runnin’ through me, hurtin’ and sufferin’. Pain is real. So you know what? I’m not doin’ that. You gon’ do that, mother—-er. You gon’ roll and say hi to Satan, not me. And that’s that. “Your survival instincts tell you to protect and preserve, and you deal with whatever later,” he explained of his actions. Shyne and Diddy were both charged in the December 1999 incident, and the two later went to trial separately with different legal representation. Diddy was aquitted , but Shyne was found guilty of first-degree assault, among other charges, and sentenced to 10 years in prison. After the trial, his relationship with the Bad Boy Records CEO soured. Shyne lashed out in interviews against his former mentor, claiming Diddy turned his back on him. Though he’s still not in agreement with the way things were handled, Shyne appears more measured in his personal take on Diddy’s actions. “You can always say, ‘Man, that ain’t the way to handle the situation,’ ” he told XXL. “Sure, I know in my soul that the situation was supposed to be handled in a different way. But it ain’t really a matter of disappointment or letdown, ’cause I never really … I grew up never having sh–, never having anybody. So I never was that dude to depend on a mother—-er. Obviously, the actions is not something that you condone or that you’re happy with. Not at all.” After serving almost nine years of his prison sentence, the Brooklyn-bred rapper was deported to his native Belize. Since then, he has re-joined Def Jam’s roster. The rapper has only provided a small sampling of material in the months after inking with the label, including “Messiah,” in which he raps with a noticeably drawn-out flow, a variation from the tighter delivery he displayed during his Bad Boy days. The Shyne interview is the first in a three-part series on the rapper set to run in forthcoming issues of XXL. Young Jeezy also graces the split cover of the magazine’s 13th anniversary issue, is set hit newsstands on the first week of August. XXL ‘s September issue hits stands August 10. Check out video coverage from the issue on the “Sucker Free Countdown,” Sundays at noon on MTV2. Do you think Shyne will be able to put the past behind him and create new music?

Current Mistake

Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success. – Henry Ford That quote describes how Current should be, but it‘s not. Instead, they boldly prance around while they flawlessly display how unfair they can be towards any poster–unless they are liberals. An article about a student that doesn’t get into a yearbook makes people upset. Why? Because the yearbook is that important? No, the yearbook is not that important. It never is. It just happens to be important because the person affected is gay. It wouldn’t even be a story if the student were anyone else. People dictate that something as small as a yearbook is far more important than floods in any part of the world and it’s so important to slander and post prejudice comments against Mississippi in spite. That’s important to mention because it’s a petty situation between a student and a school. Both are being ridiculous, but one is being unfair. Who’s being unfair? This depends on where you stand. Do people who peer in from the outside know what fair is? What if someone said that the student was unfair? How angry would that make you feel? How frustrated over their presumed ignorance would that have you? That opinion could rattle some. People use African American’s past strife to compare to the cushioned life of how homosexuals are treated. There are those that think the comparison is stupid and they scoff. I think it’s awesome and I’ll use this to jump to my point…. ….Current.com is the school and my situation is similar to how that student felt because she was treated unfair. I’m not going to cry about it (thought others might make post to dictate that as if that’s a clever thing to state—but who said they were clever, certainly not me) but I’m just as frustrated and annoyed. That story has so many comments dictating what is fair, but do those same people actually understand what fair is? See, how could it not be the same? If you’re new to this situation, you may catch up with: http://www.hollywooddump.com/2010/01/current-lowdown.html and http://dorkariffic.blogspot.com/2010/02/hail-current.html Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask and he will tell you the truth. – Oscar Wilde Have you seen the nasty comments certain posters make? It’s not one side over the other, because both sides of the aisle do it. You’ll see some nasty replies here. You’ll never, ever, ever, ever find a post created by me that would even rival some of the nasty comments posted to me or about me. If that’s something you question then you need to click the link and see the Current Lowdown and read those comments. Those are nasty comments. What of the comment I made in Heil Current about JanforGore? That comment isn’t nasty. Jan is not a nice person. I don’t even think I could state she’s a good person. The moment you point to a post where she disagrees and she isn’t talking down to that person, then I might change my mind. However, until then, she is exactly how I stated. Why would Current allow people to post vile comments such as calling any woman the C word? They won’t let anyone call Obama the N word cause that would be racist. Well calling a woman the C word is sexist even if it comes from a woman. They hate their own sex. Why do the few not want me to return? They fear me. Why else? When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you. – African Proverb Now for a mock conversation: “Come in and please share your viewpoints,” Current said. “I love Obama,” Liberal Poster fawned. “Obama bypassed branches of government to put a 6 month moratorium on drilling. He is also ignoring the border problem–even after Arizona Democrats told him how bad it is (even though they do so to keep votes). His approval ratings are terrible. How can you love him?” Conservative Poster said. “Shut up you Bush lover. All you’re doing is complaining and it’s not even logical. Stop hating on him. He’s doing the best he can with the situation he was given by stupid Bush and you’re a racist,” Liberal Poster shouted. “That’s a personal attack. It’s against Current’s rules,” said Conservative Poster. “No it’s not. Conservatives are racist. Please look at this video where we mock the Tea Party and your views. But please remember we care about all opinions–but boy those tea party members are a group of crazies,” said Current. “They are not racist. *post video showing minorities* And their views are based on concern for what people are allowing Obama to do,” said Conservative Poster. “Shut up, Party of NO! All Tea Baggers are stupid. Are you stupid? Palin’s stupid,” shouted Liberal Poster. “No one is speaking about Palin. We’re talking about Obama. Are you going to refute the comments?” Conservative Poster asked. “I only discuss politics with logical people that agree with what I have to say, not with homophobic losers like you,” said Liberal Poster. “Another violation,” said Conservative Poster. “Nah, Tea Baggers are haters. But please continue to share,” Current said. –Current pushes an agenda that leaks onto the website. If balance existed there would be an even amount (or close to) of conservatives and liberals. But because of how Current shows bias in who they ban and why, that’s not the case. It should be shown in any discussion like Gay Marriage, but it is clear that a question “Should gay marriage be legal?” has only one answer. The answer is a liberal one, because liberals are always right. It’s really a question for show. http://dorkariffic.blogspot.com/2010/06/current-mistake.html more at link—– added by: 42

T.I. Is ‘Taking The World Over’ On King Uncaged, Swizz Beatz Says

‘We’re growing as artists,’ Swizzy says of collaborating with Tip. By Shaheem Reid Swizz Beatz Photo: MTV News When Swizz Beatz and T.I. link up in the lab, the result will probably be epic. First, they landed Tip a smash single with “Bring Em Out,” then they trumped themselves with “Swing Ya Rag” from Paper Trail. The pair recently collaborated on the King of the South’s upcoming King Uncaged. “What we just did is bigger than those,” Swizz said about the two new records he produced for Tip. “It’s bigger than ‘Swing Ya Rag,’ it’s bigger than all of those. We’re growing as artists. That’s one of the things I wanted to focus on with Tip, was: ‘We did that already. We don’t need to compete with nobody. You up there.’ Everything we gotta do, we gotta stay leaders. That’s how we got to where we at now. He gave me his OK on that. Gave me the clear lane. And we’re gone. Trust me on that. The first joint, it’s nice. Crazy! The second joint is taking the world over. It’s a positive message, and I’ll let him explain the rest of the story, because he would be glad to. [It’s] very musical, but still with that swag in it.” T.I. completed a yearlong prison sentence in March for weapons charges. Swizz said one of their collaborations delves into that experience. “The other one is more heartfelt,” the producer said. “Story to tell. Think about the real things that’s going on in the world. He just finished dealing with a real situation. Besides his situation, there’s a million of other real situations going on in the world. So the feel is more worldly. African congas, symphony violins, what I told I was gonna do. I told y’all I was gonna switch the sound thing up.” King Uncaged is due in September. Are you looking forward to hearing more T.I./Swizzy collabos? Let us know in the comments! Related Artists Swizz Beatz T.I.

Michael Lohan Offers Prison Advice to Lindsay

What’s a parent for if he can’t impart his life’s wisdom and comfort his daughter in her time of need? Enter Michael Lohan, perennial Father of the Year candidate. Mike, who spent three years in prison after being convicted of insider trading, has a little advice for Lindsay Lohan, who must report to jail on July 20 for 90 days. “It’s not going to be a good experience for her. Right now, she should be working on rectifying the situation and getting better,” worried Michael tells Us Weekly . “It’s just a horrible experience. Twenty-three hours a day, she’ll be locked up. I’m going to get her out of that cell as much as I can. And Kate will be there, and we’ll work to get her out of that cell as much as possible.” Kate is Kate Major , his fiancee, with whom he dined at New York’s STK restaurant. Kate worked as Linds’ assistant and dated Jon Gosselin last year. Gross. SO HELPFUL : Michael is always looking out for attention Lindsay . Michael says Lindsay is currently refusing to speak to him “because she knows I still want to throw her in [rehab]. I’ve been trying to tell her how much I love her, that I’m behind her, that when she’s ready, I’m ready to help her.” He adds, “If she would just realize that what she’s taking is toxic…. Dina has denied that Lindsay is on prescription meds. Lindsay has denied that she is on prescription meds. Her friends have. Everyone has! And look at her! They’re lying.” But Lindsay, who may appeal her sentence , “is not a criminal. She’s a person with a disease. She really is. She needs help. She needs medical attention.” Never one to leave well enough alone, or shut the f**k up for any reason, M-Lo had a few words for his ex-wife: “Dina should be concentrating on helping Lindsay get off of the prescription drugs instead of stealing Fudgy the Whales from Carvel!” Oooh, good one. Jackass. Lindsay belongs in …

The Situation: Looking For Love

If you’ve seen him on TV, you know he’s not exactly dying to be exclusive with anyone. But that doesn’t mean Mike Sorrentino isn’t looking around for love. But what exactly is The Situation looking for? “I’m a Cancer and I’m Italian,” he said at the launch of NoX Edge, the workout steroid supplement. “I like to take care of people and do nice things. It doesn’t matter if her hair is blonde or brown, but she must be giving and generous, like myself.” “Looks are big,” Mike concedes, while evaluating any romantic options. Maybe for long-term prospects, anyway. Dude hooked up with Snooki. Can you resist a piece of this? Think about it, this display was during a red carpet appearance … it’s as clothed as you’ll ever see him. Talk about a Situation! Sorrentino notes that the ideal woman goes deeper than the surface elements of romance, although she does have to work well with him and his lifestyle. “I’m the type of person that’s open, whatever happens, happens,” The Situation says. “Ultimately, she’s just got to work well with the way I live my life.” “I need a girl who knows a relationship is 50-50.” But he cautions that if certain boundaries are overstepped, he’s outta here: “If she’s bossy, controlling or high maintenance, those are dealbreakers for me.” Jersey Shore premieres July 29. Check out the Season 2 trailer !

Ron Paul Teams Up With Barney Frank To Reduce Military Spending

Great interview on “The Situation Room” with Wolf Blitzer with Rep. Barney Frank and Rep. Ron Paul regarding the need to reduce military spending. Although the two Congressmen disagree as to what can be done with the massive savings, they do agree that America will be better served by a government that no longer spends in excess of one trillion dollars per year in managing an unsustainable overseas empire. Perhaps this will be the first step. We can all agree that this country is in the midst of a massive economic downturn, and that money spent in managing an overseas empire is money that is being taken out of the hands of Americans who could really use it.
