In the end, a fast-forward button should never receive this much love. Shine On - can refer to: Shine On (Humble Pie song), a 1971 single by the band, later album by Peter Frampton Shine On. And why a rapper with a shady past (present and future?) would use his debut album to broadcast his illegal exploits to the world is anyone's guess. Sadly, Puff Daddy's unshakeable influence at Bad Boy (e.g., the tried-and-true rhythm sampled on the D.O.C.'s 'Funky Enough' is borrowed on 'That's Gangsta') further corrupts this album.

Arguably the two MCs do share similar vocal drones. When an unproven MC is branded a 'Notorious B.I.G.
