Shyne's debut is a bit underrated I reckon. Maybe it's the unfair comparison to Biggie that means he was/is critiqued harder. Apart from the extremely slight similarity in the deep voices, I really don't hear much reason for the two rappers to be compared at all. Overall the beats are fairly generic and raw, but Shyne's street raps work well over them. There are still some boring moments, but I like enough of this album.
