Shyne, Rakim and Kool G Rap on G-Dep album!!

[Top-Dogg2001]

This is hot news coming out of the bad boy camp. This is the first time in a while that I'm remotely excited about an album from bad boy. Hopefully it won't let me down.

G-Dep has been getting all his shine taken lately. Those adorable kids in his video for "Let's Get It" stole the show with their Harlem shimmying. Then, instead of getting his name seared into viewers' consciousness by having it listed in the video's credits, the song and video were reserviced as a Three The... track just as it started taking off.

But turnabout is fair play. G-Dep has done his share of prop pilfering; it's how he became a Bad Boy in the first place. After his good friend and fellow Harlemite Black Rob politicked him onto a clean-up hitter's role on Mase's 1999 posse cut "Down the Line," P. Diddy became so enamored with Dep's on-beat/off-beat conversational flow, he wasted no time making another addition to his roster. Now Dep is ready to evolve into the star of the show with his debut, Child of the Ghetto, due in early August.

Although "Let's Get It" — which was originally credited as "G. Dep featuring P. Diddy and Black Rob" — is on the upcoming Bad Boy Compilation 2001 ... The Saga Continues, it will also be a track on Dep's album, according to a Bad Boy spokesperson. Another one of Dep's labelmates featured on Child of the Ghetto is Shyne, who engages in a murderous exchange of clout speaking with his rhyme cohort on "Keep It Gangsta." (RealAudio excerpt)

"Who them n----as with big guns and big di---," Shyne asks on the chorus before going into a freestyle about coming back to life as a rapper, the strife of going to court and being "two shells from hell."

Rakim, Kool G Rap and Carl Thomas also recorded with G-Dep for the LP.

The first single from Child of the Ghetto will be "Special Delivery." No word yet on when the song will hit airwaves.

Black Rob Ain't annoying, just his single. I don't know when and where the next Shyne album is gonna happen though.

[Hambone (Guest)]

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

Shyne is 95% done with his 2nd LP....

[Sikotic™]

Really? Where did you hear that?

[Tanjential]

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

Nobody knows yet...News hasn't really leaked about the situation, but I remember MTV said that Shyne was nearly done with his sophmore album...

[Sikotic™]

Is he recording in prison?

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

I don't think he's in prison yet, they are still finding out how long his sentance is, but if so, than he will record about 3 songs over the phone, because they have most of the album done, and they can also use songs from the Unreleased Bootleg album called "The Truth" and leftovers from "Shyne"...So basically he doesn't need to do anymore work on his 2nd album, since he's almost done, and they have a ton of unreleased tracks from him...
