Editorial Reviews
When an unproven MC is branded a "Notorious B.I.G. sound-alike," career doom is imminent. Arguably the two MCs do share similar vocal drones. And yeah, they're both unapologetic slum-centered lyricists. However, Shyne's insipid tales of selling dope, packing heat, and sleeping with seedy "ho's" are artless, unlike Biggie's. Shyne does up the ante, but it's in all of the wrong ways (not only does he sleep with multiple "ho's" in his verses but he tells 'em to "Get Out" when he's done). The most revealing track on the album is the spoken-word interlude "Dear America," where Shyne eloquently explains how America made him "a lost cause." "Niggas Gonna Die," "Whatcha Gonna Do," and "The Life" are all ridiculously dark, violent, and thuggish. However, Shyne's slow, moody drawl flows well over the reggae-tinged riddims of "Bang" and "Bad Boyz," featuring reggae balladeer du jour Barrington Levy. Sadly, Puff Daddy's unshakeable influence at Bad Boy (e.g., the tried-and-true rhythm sampled on the D.O.C.'s "Funky Enough" is borrowed on "That's Gangsta") further corrupts this album. And why a rapper with a shady past (present and future?) would use his debut album to broadcast his illegal exploits to the world is anyone's guess. In the end, a fast-forward button should never receive this much love. --Dalton Higgins

One of My favorite albums ever.......2007-01-15
This album truly is forgettable.......2006-07-29
Po is the King of NY...buried alive........2006-01-08
The last track is one of the best raps ever.
And he does NOT sound like homeboy!
The beats on this album are tailor made to Po. Its like...these tracks could never be for another artist.
Also, cop the clean version too; it has great edits, making it sound like a whole different cd.
*to all hating reviewers: if u write a negative review come with more than "Oh it sucks!" ITs like none of u are over 13 yet. And why conjure up negative energy writing a review for something u prolly haven't paid for?*

In contemporary rap, incarceration pays. Get locked up, and your aura grows--you soon become a 'hood economist, legendary and independently wealthy. When word leaked out that Shyne was negotiating multimillion-dollar record contracts from inside the big house, his fan base grew exponentially. It doesn't matter that his self-titled debut was only so-so. Rather than take the obvious bait and dis alleged snitch P Diddy across these 13 tracks, he instead goes after media darling 50 Cent. Phoning in his verses (literally) on "For the Record," he charges that 50 is a snitch and studio thug. Now that's gangsta. There are a few hidden gems here among the rehashed beats and songs. Kanye West continues to make everyone sound good; his brooding, string-laden soundscape on "More or Less" perfectly matches Shyne's gothic vocal tone and declarations: "hip-hop ain't responsible for violence in America/America's responsible for violence in America." Beat baron Just Blaze does his part on "Diamonds and Mac 10's," but most of the record is filled with muddy production. Nothing here matches the appeal of his debut's "Bad Boyz" collaboration with Barrington Levy, but this is still a timely, topical release. --Dalton HigginsCustomer Reviews:

Godfather Buried Alive.......2006-02-18
Not to be confused, Godfather... isn't gory as it is ruthless. Shyne callously rides into the sunset beginning with the Kanye West produced "More or Less," a drugstore cowboy cinematic revue, injected with Western whistles that screams modern day Clint Eastwood. Shyne's vigilant Wild West renegade arrives back at his locale, revisiting enemies that are soon to suffocate in his vengeance. As Foxy ignites a chorus behind Shyne's walk in fire, his flow breeds volatility unbridled in tenacity and tirade, "G is a G, a key is a key, a snitch is a fish, with no fins, they cant swim and I dump `em in the river." In another combo, "The Gang," the two surprise by co-signing their own hot Brooklyn signatures to the `95 Raekwon-Nas classic "Verbal Intercourse".
In fact, Godfather... is more about a by-product of Shyne's tumultuous brainstorming activity behind bars. He successfully composes intelligently twisted prison rhymes that instantly jump right off the paper. While Shyne refers to "talking about the life that's mine," his lyrical ability is unleashed in "Godfather," a devious New York City track driven by sinister strings and creaky violins. While some gangster rappers limp through illustrations of aggression and anger, Shyne expands to extended levels of mutilation and indecency, breathing wisps of vivid imagery into his own street story; "My minds poison, corrupted in disease, 360 keys, money make the world spin, I make your chest smoke, have your mother singing hymns, particles in your brains up on your timbs."
Longtime producer extraordinaire BucWild lays out Bob Marley's "No More Trouble" sample in "Quasi OG," a munificent track that leans towards Shyne's conscious side, revealing a recognition of hip-hop's lack of a political eye. From capitalism to conspiracy theory, Shyne acknowledges the dark social spectrum that looms over the direction of Black-American youth and his prison brethren. Another notable is the dramatic "Diamonds and Mac 10s," a Just Blaze produced track that is skillfully set in two tones: one of an emotive Shyne "dying and cryin' inside," pleading to God in redemptive calling for refuge and acceptance; the other is the opposite side of the prison wall healing worlds with exaltation, triumph and hope, discernible by big blasting trumpets and horns.
Not to his discredit, Shyne lays victim to a weaker side of production. "Shyne," an otherwise pop track in chorus and verse, is left embarrassingly unblessed by Swiss Beatz's humdrum claps, deadbeat bassline, and equally depressive weeping violin loop. "Jimmy Choo" is a similarly unsuccessful track that follows the same R&B formula as Shyne's previous hit "Bonnie and Shyne," but marginally lacks originality and the kick that even songstress Ashanti cannot save. Poorly laced with Murder Inc. dinky electronica disinherits any incidental chemistry between the two artists, thus making the track more suitable for a remix. "For the Record," is a response to the 50 Cent threat recorded through DAT, but the result is minimal (i.e. Canibus vs. LL) and less controversial than once initially regarded.
However, as Godfather... commits to a deeper truth, Shyne's catbird seat is high outside of Clinton Correctional Facility. He never shrouds his personal funeral hymns in anything but the darkest and most candid form of gangster-ism; appreciation of this amongst peers in the industry is widespread, but is soon met with the realization that that one of today's best is behind bars.
