I CANNOT gangsta Shyne is “Music Ambassador and Director of the Music Program at NICH’! With crime so high in this country and witnesses for cases being intimidated how can we CONDONE HIS MUSIC! HAVE U HEARD THE LYRICS???? FYI here is some “Snitches take a nap with the fishes and the rats/ Buried in the dirt where the witnesses is at.” Why is noone writing an article of the disgusting messages in his music! He is a perfect example of individuals must rot in prison and worst if a MAJOR OFFENSE! Once it is a major offense, the severity does not matter!
Yes, but only after serving his full sentence, not a half and certainly not one third. If a person has truly paid his debt to society, then he should be qualified for parole, providing that:
a) the punishment fits the crime and
b) the Parole board is convinced that he’s no longer a threat to society.
