Oh, no! Big Shyne Po, back in the muthafuckin’ heezy, fa sheezy” might be the first thought running through Puff’s head when Shyne walks out of jail after serving eight years in the NY penitentiary system. After all, it’s been said that Puff played Shyne on the way to his own acquittal and Shyne’s imprisonment. Naturally, after losing almost a decade of his life, Shyne may want some type of revenge on Puff. So, come October, for safety reasons—and of course, financially beneficially ones, too—Puff should consider the following approaches.
1. Hop on the last first train to Paris
With Shyne facing traveling restrictions due to terms of his parole, there’s no way he’d be able to chase Puff down across the pond in Paris, or even across state borders for that matter.
2. Hide behind Jay-Z
If the rumors are to be believed, Hova’s thinking about inking Shyne to Roc Nation, perhaps in an effort to keep the crown in Brooklyn—a problem when you consider Fabolous and Memphis Bleek’s careers up to this point.
Puff could even get in on the action and garner some goodwill by throwing Shyne some Grind Music beats for a possible album.
3. Pay his debt to Shyne
Since Shyne took the fall for Puff, the Bad Boy boss should hand over a suitcase full of millions, some of those light-skinned models from the Ciroc ads, make him the spokesperson of Ciroc, give him some Sean John billboards, and whatever else opportunities he has to offer. Shyne would know better than to sign a recording contract with Puff, though.
4. Executive produce Bad Boyz That’s Gangsta
Puff can commission a biopic on Shyne and call up Cheo Hodari Coker to pen it, using Shyne’s music—which in all likelihood Puff owns the masters of—in the film and on the soundtrack as well. The two could then break bread over the box office receipts.
5. Show up at Woodbourne Correctional Facility on October 6th.
Puff should be the first one to greet him there. Granted, Shyne might attack him or the omnipresence of press could sully the moment but if Puff were to offer a helping hand right as Shyne walks out, who knows what could happen? Hell, J.Lo could mediate any discussions.
