After all these years (and blog posts) talking about "Free Shyne," the day is upon us! Despite rumors that there may be a slight release, all appears on schedule for Moses Michael LeviyShyneJamal Barrow to come home from Clinton Correctional Facility today after serving nearly nine years of a 10-year bid for shooting up the club (and maybe hitting a lady in the nose). And, not too surprisingly, "Shyne" is the #1 trending topic on Twitter.

Of course, that probably means nothing to the rapper once heralded as the second coming of Biggie; technology has exploded in the time since his cell door clanged shut, so we imagine he might have a bit of a tough time getting adjusted to the way things are now. In fact, we peeped our special limited-edition crystal ball to see how it might go...
