What was it in you that said, "You know what? I don't wanna go this way," like something's gotta change?
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
29:08
Spir- spirituality.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
29:09
I, I don't like to be dogmatic and wax religiosity, uh, but there's a creator.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
29:17
Someone created the planet, and my entire life's journey has been to align myself with the creator of the universe.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
29:24
And through prayer, uh, my Judaic value system, and just, uh, making sure that I plugged into the architect of the universe, that's how I got the power I needed-
30:36
So, um, you know, we know that Diddy now finds himself in prison, and you have said that you get no satisfaction from that.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
30:45
None, none.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
30:46
I, I, I would never, I would never do that to myself.
1:06
Okay.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
1:06
So this is a unique experience unto itself.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
1:10
The food here is delectable.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
1:13
But then we'll go to the south, which is one of my favorite places.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
1:17
And we'll go to Plasencia.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
1:20
Unique experience.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
1:22
Unique delicacies.

The problem
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
8:05
was I lost my voice.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
8:07
There, that confidence.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
8:09
That conviction, that passion, it wasn't there.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
8:13
I was beaten, I was broken.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
8:15
Coming from Vietnam, rap, till you get to safety, then you realize that you're hit.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
8:20
Came out with a lot of negativity.
speaker_6ADVERTISER
10:59
Terms at aka.ms slash college PC.
52:04
So that's how he
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
52:05
is.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
52:06
Right.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
52:07
And so what I'm saying is fine.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
52:09
When I saw that it wasn't going that way, you know, I went on my Brooklyn thing again, even in my religious phase, I went nuts and I was like, man, whatever.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
52:25
But then I got to a point, I did get to a point, I'll tell you this, I went nuts on him.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
52:30
And then I got to a point like around 2014, 2015, I had gone back to Belize and that's when I got into politics.

8 MINS LATER

60:52
Like what would you tell the kids? Cause you know, it's still crazy stuff.
40:38
Mm-hmm.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
40:39
Communicating to people, um, communicating for people.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
40:44
I consider myself a voice of the people.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
40:48
And then getting into politics was seamless because you're advocating for people, but in a life-changing way that's a bit different than music.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
40:58
Because music is life-changing.
41:16
Yeah.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
41:16
To be a critical thinker.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
41:18
"Black Girl Lost." Could go into a million songs that Nas, uh, enlightened.
47:37
Yeah, yeah.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
47:39
He didn't physically throw the CD, he just rolled the window up.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
47:42
He just rolled the 4.6, rolled the window up and drove off.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
47:47
But yeah, I think, you know, one of the reasons I wanted to do the documentary as well is for inspirational purposes.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
47:55
I do feel that people can look at my life and they can draw from my life, never give up, never give in, endure, pray, and your time will come.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
48:06
And I'm the poster child for your time will come and that we are invincible.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
48:15
I don't feel that I'm special, even though Mace thinks that I wanted to be special and let me be special.

When did forgiveness happen for you? Like, was there a particular time when you were finally like, and I know it's for you, it's like you said, it's not that you forget, but forgiveness is necessary so you're not holding on.
46:56
And then Ray J had some things to say that were very wild.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
47:00
This is the same Brandy that went on Oprah and said that she was married when she wasn't and had to go back on Oprah and apologize for lying because she felt that she had to protect her image and didn't want to be a mother out of wedlock.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
47:16
So Brandy has proven that she would say whatever in order to protect whatever she thinks should be her public persona.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
47:24
I have never done that.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
47:26
I have no need to lie.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
47:27
And the context in which I spoke about her was actually giving her flowers.
Shyne
ShyneGUEST
47:32
And praising her.

When did forgiveness happen for you?
