Here’s part of what’s a relatively large portion of Po’s interview with XXL. You can catch the requisite Puffy stuff down bottom.
Was that a mistake on your end?
Never a mistake. ’Cause I live with myself, and I sleep at night. And I sit here before you with all my dreams realized and being rewarded from the universe for having my character and my integrity. So I’m good. I did what I was supposed to do, and I was rewarded greatly for it.
Did your comrade—Puffy, in this situation—let you down?
You can always say, “Man, that ain’t the way to handle the situation.” Sure, I know in my soul that the situation was supposed to be handled in a different way. But it ain’t really a matter of disappointment or letdown, ’cause I never really… I grew up never having shit, never having anybody. So I never was that dude to depend on a muthafucka. Obviously, the actions is not something that you condone or that you’re happy with. Not at all.
But, ultimately, that’s the reason why you got a longer bid?
Yeah, if it was handled different, muthafuckas could have did a shorter stretch. If muthafuckas was banding together and we was all on the same team. For him, I don’t know whether he was nervous, afraid. When you’re afraid and you’re emotional, that’s a different survival tactic. Those are the people that do anything, regardless of character and integrity, to preserve and protect themselves, regardless of who they hurt. I guess maybe that was the situation. Never been in a situation like that, where he facing years, and he got hundreds of millions and all that shit at stake. But where I’m from, doesn’t matter. You lose everything for your comrade. Again, if you’re in battle, I’ll catch a bullet, too. It ain’t like, Yo, he’s dead. Don’t make no sense for me to die, too. Nah, I’ma die, too! So you hope or you take for granted that all men are the same. But I know all men are not. It’s disappointing when they don’t live up to themselves, but you roll. You know that the creep is in all of us. It’s just a few of us is able to suppress that creep, and some of us are able to extract it from our soul altogether.

On another (and more relevant) note, heard of this guys? – DELS – new signee of Dada records http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjAnmqecMKI
Don’t know what else he’s done but this new video is DOPE
Man, Shyne is whack now. He needs to move on, and quit dissing people and talking about Puff. I was a fan of his first album, and Godfather Buried Alive, but everything I have been hearing as of late, is garbage. I can’t even listen to a whole song anymore.
snitches get stitches…holla at jay

For a quick second I thought he had 1 leg, I was gonna say what the fuck happened? LOL
he needs to quit talkin about puff? why? he was locked up for 10 years and all anyone wanted to know was what he thought about puff? now hes out and nobody cares?
Historically, Puff has always did his “peoples” dirty…
The past is evident to whoever wants to look back…
His own group is called “Dirty” Money
Too bad it wasn’t Rick Ross
I agree with EVERYTHIN IllicitMC said. I used listen to everything Shyne put out. Now, I cant stand to hear a single verse from him. He sound like a wack version of Rick Ross and Lloyd Banks mixed in a blender. Like Pusha T said “never let jail turn my Shyne into Moses”!
Shyne’s like the standard-bearer for mediocrity in rap. I’ve never understood what the fascination is.
@ Zak – cosign. After hearing before & after Shyne, it’s difficult to get into the new shit, but either way I’m rooting for him. Dude been through some shit. Fuck Diddy all day.
MAN what the Fuck IS wrong with Ya’ll….
Bandwagon jumpin’double agents,It was a time You rocked with an artist you bought all the music OFF Strength!!!!
Now if they ain’t got a publicity stunt or case pending FUCK EM’…
THIS MAN is the TRUTH IF you want to speak on whats Gangsta,IT may
take him some time but I’m willing to chill,LIKE he keeps speaking about loyalty OR are you Not reading between the lines..MAN UP!!!
“He started a legal appeals process, but 22 days later, he chose to accept deportation to the Central American country where he’d lived until the age of seven, and where his father, Dean Barrow, has been prime minister since 2008.”
Shyne’s father is the prime minister of Belize? WTF?
