Rapper Shyne is apparently unhappy with his current relationship with Island/Def Jam Records and in particular he finds company CEO L.A. Reid’s dedication to Hip Hop artists lacking. Speaking with SOHH.com recently the Belize-born, Flatbush Brooklyn-raised emcee mentioned the label’s alleged disorganization, stating, “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?”
Shyne has definite plans for where he would like to go if he can untangle himself from his Def Jam distribution deal – Lil Wayne’s Cash Money label. “I’m definitely trying to get with Cash Money….I’m not signed to Def Jam anyway, I just need to find another distributor. I might just have Cash Money do everything. Who knows? That’s the beauty about being in the business for yourself. You can decide where you want to go and what you want to do.”
Flop before releasin any albums.
ain’t that the truth. He’s just……sad. I’d rather listen to Soulja fag. Not even joking.
Shyne may as well try to get a job behind the scenes or build up the rap scene in Belize and hopefully build a label down there that would bring him some bread. He sucks now & the only reason Birdman is even talking to him is for street cred/more industry cred. It sounds & looks good what Birdman is doing by dealing with Shyne while the rest of the industry seems to be turning ass on him, but Birdman has to know that nobody’s going to support a Shyne album. Dude’s voice & rhymes are just too shitty now!
LMAO, LMAO @ G
Whenever you’re looking for a deal with Cash Money, that’s basically the sign your career’s over. Maybe if he didn’t sound like a retarded Rick Ross and got his shit together, he’d be fine. He’s had 10 years to write raps, and this is the best he can come up with?
shyne is ass and no one even cares about dude no more.. he aint got street cred… he accidently shot a girl in a club.. thats sucker shit!! LLOYD BANKS WOULD BODY HIM WITH 1 LINE IF HE WANTED TO! HFM2 NOV 23 boyyyy
yo stop being a doja fam…every article u postin lloyd banks shit up there..wtf he gotta do with shyne? we get it you’re a fan..now wipe your mouth and keep it moving…g unit groupie
What the fuck do you know about street cred you groupie? Personally, I don’t give a shit about street cred, I just care about the music, but if anything Shyne is one of the only rappers WITH street cred. By the way, I hate to crush your rapworld wet dreams, but ALLLL these rappers are frontin’. That’s why they’re rappers and not gangsters.
Muthafucka should be on his knees suckin every exec at def jams dicks after gettin a mill to sign with his wack ass raps dudes jus confirmed himself as an unloyal bitch far as those who support him go
def jam backed this bitch he got a mill for nothin to make n market his bullshit album you think Nas Meth Red would talk shit if they got a milli to do their current projects fuck no…Meth couldn’t even get a video for 421 when Jigga was in charge n his album was hot plus he helped build def jam
He didn’t just get 1 million. HE GOT SIX MILLION DOLLARS. Maybe they not backing him up now bc they realize they wasted money bc this guy should have been golden but he comes out of jail a worse rapper than when he got in.
You wack you lucky, why are you crying pussy (@shyne)
no offence to shyne is not that niggas dont care about hip hop is just that your one of the problems in hip hop homie your flow is straight ass your bars is weak fam step your pen game up
yeah shyne just wanna take the money and skate but def jam is gonna keep him on the shelf unless he buy his freedom from them..they realize what a bad investment he was so they gonna string him along till he gets fed up with with being in record label limbo…
The reason shyne was able to attain such a deal was because of his previous work in the game and countless clasic material..Do you folks know anything about shyne or the shit he has put out..fucking phenomenal tracks like more or less, bad boy,Diamonds and macktens..
Stop Lying to yourself, the only reason he was able to get that deal is because he shot somebody in a club, did a long bid and his reputation for it grew into the legend it is
Its the 50 Cent syndrome, image making the man, except somehow this guy makes 50 look like rakim lyrically
What a dumbass signing with wack ass Cash Money! That for a NY rapper. Shame on you.
Def Jam will never let you go they paid 6 million dollars.
You just have dissappoint your fans so far with your horrible voice and flow.
I may be the last, but I still think Shyne is gonna drop some classic material. The stuff he put out when he first got out in the bing was weak, but it got progressively better. Niggas act like he was in prison at a candle lit desk writing raps for ten years. Just like Ol’ Dirty said and Pac said, it’s almost impossible to write raps in prison because you have no inspiration, you’re looking at grey walls and green jumpsuits all days, with nothing to spark your imagination. I think the last 3 songs Shyne did were actually pretty good, especially “Roller Song”. If I end up eating crow, so be it, but I still adamantly believe this nigga is on a different level lyrically, politically, and creatively over 99% of the rappers out. It took Mike Vick a little while to get his legs back, but once he did, he was smokin’ everybody again. You niggas just can’t wait to kick someone while their down and suck someone off while their up. Fairweather groupies.
Def Jam doesn’t care about hiphop?????
Shyne doesn’t care about hiphop!!! Not listening to his fans with his horrible voice, flow and lyrics.
This guys music was always run of the mill and mediocre, but since he got out its laugh out loud pathetic
And he should be happy to even have a deal, had he not shot somebody he’d be in the same position as G Dep, Black Rob and all the other late 90’s/early 2000 Bad Boy artist that nobody gives a fuck about now
when shyne came out he was basically a newjack and the music he was making was well ahead of his time.
People were in shook about how much he sounded like biggie, in fact it took years for people to get over this so close to biggies death.
This guy was truely in his own lane from the begining making it in a flourishing music industry with dead rappers still on top at young age…..
How is this guy even relevant right now. He was nobody when he came out on badboy trying to sound like BIG and then went to jail. Fuck this guy Why do people even care this cat is str8 garbage!
La reid dont give a fuck about rap music anymore
