Shyne Inks Deal With Def Jam

by MrWhiteFolks on February 16th, 2010

http://media.defsounds.com/uploads/assets/114/192/32263/asset.jpegAfter serving a 9 year prison bid on gun related charges, then being deported back to his homeland of Belize, it is reported that former Bad Boy rapper Shyne has inked a seven figure deal with hip hop powerhouse Def Jam.

The signing of the deal has ended a bidding war that has been ongoing since the rapper was released from prison back in October of last year.

Shyne turned down offers from Jimmy Iovine and Dr.Dre to sign with Interscope/Aftermath to join LA Reid at Def Jam, which was the last label he was signed to.

Miss Info reports that Shyne has been working with manager Kyambo “HipHop” Joshua. Kyambo Joshua and his partners from HipHopSince1978 also manage Lil Wayne, Drake, Young Jeezy as well as other big named artist.

The plan as of now, is for Shyne to work out of London since he was deported from the U.S. after his release from prison.

Ur basing that off one song? Did u not listen to any of Godfather Burried Alive? Im guessing not cuz u sound like a bitch with that comment. They wouldve only signed him if they knew he could produce hot shit like he has in the past. Gotta wait and see

Nigga i listen to all shyne shit buried alive was 6 years ago and it wasnt even that hard niggas need to wake the fuck up who is he even fucking wit in the rap game that shit he use to say cant fly no more yall will see he not worth 7 figures on someone that has been gone 10 years is a stupid ass marketing plan they only signing him cause of who he was not what he can still do which if its from that verse i herd is nothing.

Take a breath homie. I agree it is a risky business move, especially since the grimey MC doesn’t get any kind of commercial success anymore. But I also just realized we got 15 and 16 year olds on this site. They were still pissin the bed when Shyne went to prison! Thats crazy. My prediction is that def jam will get him some collabo’s with people like Ross and Chris Brown or some shit to make him relevant with the new crowd, then we’ll all hate on him and say how wack he is for sellin out.

Shyne didnt go in on that dj kahled shit..but in reality..akon and dj kahled fucking suck..and the beat was wack. Wait untill he starts dropping more stuff and not judging him on one shitty song with fucking dj kahled

Take away Shyne out of the equation and look at this situation… This is a great sign, record labels were in a huge bidding war to sign a hardcore rapper. Labels are obviously making an effort to make some changes around this motha fucka called hip-hop, lets just sit back and watch this unfold.

after hearin the new shyne on that khaled track idk if this is a good idea. theres no doubt in my mind the nigga got talent, i jus hope for def jam he can bring that real grimey shyne back that made people like him in the first place because 7 figures is dough for a dude whos been out the game for 10 years.

shynes first album was a classic, fuck what yall say bout Godfather Buried Alive. truthfully, i dont know shit bout that, so i cant talk bout it. all i know is his first album on Bad Boy had about 6 or 7 joints on there that was my shit.
