Edd’s MANtra: Welcome Back

Well, it’s about time! From CBS.com:

New York Rapper Shyne was released from prison today after serving more than eight years for his role in a 1999 New York night club shooting involving mentor Sean “P. Diddy” Combs and actress Jennifer Lopez.

For those who have forgotten Shyne, Puffy, J-Lo and friends were hanging out (remember when J.Lo and Puffy were dating!?) when Diddy and Shyne started arguing with patrons. Shots rang out, Shyne was caught with his gun and he was sentenced to 10 years, halting a very promising career. Meanwhile, Diddy has spent the last 10 years dancing around and making horrible reality TV shows.

Services for Sean Combs will be held Friday at noon.

I certainly hope Shyne has learned his lesson. I think he still has a lot to offer – I’m sure he can do better than these “LOL Smiley Face” songs his peers are releasing.
