Earlier this month, rapper Shyne called out his new label home, Def Jam Records, in a conversation with Hip Hop site, SOHH.com. “I’ve been fixing to get up out of there for a while now because L.A. Reid don’t care about Hip Hop. The people up there, they don’t know what they’re doing. When you don’t have a strong leader, where you gonna go?” said Shyne. L.A. Reid is the Island Def Jam Chairman of the Board.
In the same later, Shyne stated his wishes to explore a deal with Cash Money Records, co-owned by Birdman.
Nearly two weeks later, Shyne is now changing his public opinion with a letter published by XXLMag.com. “I was wrong about my assessment of Chairman Reid. After I stopped being all Carl Thomas emotional and things like that, I thought about the facts.” Shyne, who was believed to accept a seven-figure contract from the storied label elaborated, “Fact is L.A Reid was there when I was locked, a few feet away from death row and the Black Panthers. L.A. was on the visit floor on Rikers Island looking at me through them blinding bars, showing me he believed in that gang boy revolutionary music I make. A bond forged at the nadir of suffering [that’s] unbreakable. That’s why I chose L.A. Reid over all the other distributors. We already went through it. I’ll never forget what L.A. did for me behind that b-wall. Caged like an animal, stripped of all my rights; he gave me freedom— freedom to follow my vision. Freedom to make my momma smile after so many tears and sleepless nights weeping for her baby boy like Rachel the matriarch weeps for the Israelites.”
Shyne’s other points, including citing Reid’s sales history, and a brief rhyme offering (in the letter) are available to read in full, here at XXLMag.com.

this is stupid. Seriously..what Shyne needs to do is stay away from the typewriter and only touch the pen and pad to write a rhyme. He stuck his nose in a situation between Nas and Reid and no he wanna back track so he can squeeze out his contract and keep the millions Def jam invested in him…the sad fact is Reid should have never signed him…and Shyne should have never returned to rhyming cause right now they both messed up. Shyne has my respect as a man who did his time and took responsibility..but as a MC this new voice and style makes my ears hurt.
Shyne is a cunt, remember that “im not a rapper” bullshit. Fuck this guy. Anyone who listens to him(and pays for it) is retarded. This guy just talks shit. I do not care how real he is or what he has done with a weapon or in the hood haha. Go back to jail where no one has respect for you…wait…I mean…have

his new flow is garbage
this dude has totally no credibility anymore. Rappers must think first before they say something.
the more shyne talks, the more he sounds like a clown, how u gone diss La reid, when basically this nigga gave u life again, i was ridin wit shyne on the first 2 albums, but wtf happened to his flow, and his voice this nigga been in the can 10 yrs, now he a revolutionary, to keep it trilla, he so outa touch wit the game right now that he aint relevant, not that relevancy matters. im jus sayin, nigga kill yo self. I bet nobody mention him after 2010 due all of his constant contradictions.
ahahahaha, what a shocker. spent all the advance money already and need more money eh?
Shyne needs to go back to jail. That is the only way this moron can contribute to this society.
If your unhappy with your situation, then who’s to blame?
I mean what are you gonna do to change thing’s around. All due respect’s, but you should start by getting rid of that wack flow!!
“in the same later”
you mean letter right? such a fucking dumb ass website, spelling and grammar mistakes all day, why do i even come on this site anyone??
