Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Yo Mister Cee, the people feel threatened! Soliciting prostitutes is illegal and this is the second time your private affairs have been publicized. Get some help...and a room! —B.Dot
Shyne keeps callin’ me, but I don’t wanna pick up. I hate it. Hate that he keeps callin’. Hate what I would have to say him. Hate the way he sounds. Hate what people are saying about the way he sounds. Really hate what people are saying about him. Ask around. Find out, he wants to sound like that. Doesn’t ever want to be viewed as a Big soundalike again. Never again. Won’t accept criticism. Constructive or not. But then, what could I tell him? It’s not really my job. I’m not his A&R. I’m not his manager. I’m a critic. I critique. He’s not ready. Hopefully one day, he will. I once predicted, he would.
Hear he’s working with Irv Gotti now, which might explain him jumping all over the current big hits last week. Like Irving too, but don’t like the moves he’s making. Hate that Po’s reigniting an old tired beef with 50 Cent. Hate what bloggers are saying about him. Hate what commenters are saying about him. Jay-Z once said, “you guys should come in peace but you rip Po to pieces.” I really have never seen nothing like it. Made me wanna cry. Dude’s been through too much to deserve this. He did real time. Not rapper jail time. Hip-hop has heart? Not in 2010. Hate myself for liking the Its The Real sketch. Hate the idea of him releasing more new records. Hate to have to post it. Hate to have to dig up another old photo of him.
I love hip-hop culture. But sometimes, I hate my job.
hate that you forgot how to write in complete sentences. ha.
Damn YN. That was an honest take. Hopefully he’ll read this post and decide to change things up a bit. The beef shit is wack. No one cares about beef with 50 cent any more.Ask Wayne, Kanye, and even Ross has moved on at this point..
As for the voice, the Biggie comparisons happened initially, but no one cares anymore about that. He wasn’t Guerilla Black doing Big’s adlibs and emphasizing words like him. His voice just sounds a little like him. And the more material, he put out the less people made those comparisons..
I really really hope Shyne reads this and changes things up because I was a huge fan and also hate to see him not shining (no pun intended).
You are your brothers keeper…. You’ll get ya blessing bruh. He’ll make it through… I hope.
YN shut the hell up and got write something better! Dumb bastard!
^@Dashing
i agree with that.
and i just want to say, for the record, (and briefly off subject) that as a native ATLien, the current Blackout on T.I. was much needed. for niggas around atlanta, YN said what we all wish we could pull that nigga aside and say. got damn i hope he reads that shit. whew….
You forgot,’Hate the fact Dr.Dre keeps lying to us, 2 weeks have passed.’
whats tony yayo doing in the right hand corner??? >>
He needs to be himself. I think people looked past his sounding like Big after Bonnie & Shyne…
You forgot,’Hate the fact Dr.Dre keeps lying to us, 2 weeks have passed.’
^
*looks at calendar* damn, ur right.
@cp3 hey get off yn’s nuts. matter of fact, get the fuck off rapradar
=(
i blame puffy
No lie, this has been the realest post by any hip-hop led website and i respect you even more for this YN. From the down to earth approach you have in a show at S.O.B.s to the way you choose NOT to post just about anything hip-hop related just for the sake of having actually a good product on the site. Thank You, and the whole RR family.
WOW I CAN HONESTLY SAY I HAVE NEVER ONCE WASTED MY TIME ON HATING ON SOMETHING I DONT LIKE…ITS EASY IF U DONT LIKE SOMETHIN MOVE ON AND DONT WASTE UR TIME WRITING ABOUT BUT SERIOUSLY…THIS IS STRAIGHT GARBAGE….QUIT WHINING AND GROW A PAIR
Let’s be honest, Shyne was never THAT nice to begin with. If it wasn’t for Barrington Levy, this nigga would be a nobody to this day.
^^
is that ant from thisis50?
I wholeheartedly agree. I always thought it was weird being like 10 years old when he went in, and now I’m 20 when he gets out. 10 years of time is crazy, but you think with all that time to contemplate his moves, he would have a different approach to his current work ethic.
I like that he’s going in on the latest radio hits and even the few original joints he’s released, I just don’t like this attitude that he seems to be carrying. 10 years removed? Your basically a new artist. And with that, you should have the same mentality that the xxl freshmen have, not to distinguish yourself from a deceased (RIP) rapper from the 90s, but to put forth enough quality material to separate yourself the current slew of rappers that are all fighting for the same lane you are.
No one cares anymore that you sound or used to sound like BIG. We’re concerned that a NY rapper that emerged from the 90s era (think of the peers from this same era, jadakiss, q-tip etc) isn’t killing it like we want him to. IDK, just my two cents, no fifty.
It seems that you and Miss Info are in the same boat, yall love ‘Po but hate his new material. If yall were ever really cool, like you said in your black out about T.I, you need to pull him 2 the side and let him know thats not what’s hot in the streets right now…Honestly its the flow more than the voice and rehashing old beefs with a terrible flow is a big NoNo Banks will eat him alive. So if u or Info really care about Shyne answer the phone YN, just answer the phone…
***All my DMV peeps giving away tics 2 The Clipse show on May 2nd come over to http://www.addicted2fresh.net/blog for details****
Hate that I have to bitch about it on Rap Radar instead of doing the right thing, man up, and talk to my brother instead of airing it out like what Kanye spoke of in “Big Brother”.
BB$. #JustsayintaketheniggascallandletabrothaknowYNiggggggah!
hope Shyne dies tbh
Fuck that as somebody in a position to say so, you gotta tell this nigga he sounds like mush mouth. Too many rappers have niggas around that fuck the left over bitches and smoke the kush but don’t stand the fuck up when it’s time to check they wack records. Somebody needs to tell Shyne that he’s about to blow his third shot at greatness.
@Nathaniel, yeah the King Uncaged thing seems a little ridiculous. Especially considering how much of his last lp capitalized off his very brief prison stint.
Another point…
I could see Shyne having a beef with Diddy. That’s legitimate. But I really don’t get the 50 thing. Maybe Irv is pushing that.. And even if the Biggie comparisons go away, the “Lloyd Banks with Emphesema” comparisons are far worse. He won’t take criticism? He really really really needs to.Everyone should be humbled if they’re not putting out their best work. That happened (to a lesser extent) with Em and he looks like he’s switiching his sound up and stepping his game up. And that’s a mult-plat star.
Shyne needs to really humble himself if all of the comments and blog chatter hasn’t already done that.
Honestly Its hard to have sympathy for Shyne.
Sure Diddy switch lawyers on him and all that boat load of bs but in reality he did the crime. So suffer with the consequences of the error of your ways. Learn something from they issue and move on. The music is UNDENIABLY bad. And the image of the godfather is played. He has a second chance to be positive instead he aligns himself wit the same negativity from years past. Artists need to stop being so sensitive. And wake up yes hip hop has a heart but give us fans a reason to give you the love.
Part of the reason he does get alot off slack tho is that alot of Music industry heads talk about dude like he was the best thing in his time. And the truth is he was FARRR from that Shyne wasnt a top tier MC or any one that was super relevant, The claim to fame was the BIG voice. But he did have an opportunity to make that into something but chose the wrong route. No hat its just real. Hes probably calling to curse you out because of your opinion. When he should be listening to the voice of reason.
To Shyne WAKE UP. The lord blessed you with a deal. UNDESERVING (YES I SAID IT). NO do something with dont go into a past that will lead you know where. If you nice then spit and PLEASE dropp the fake cookie monster/pac voice. Its not you.
I feel you YN… sometimes I hate my job too…
Sometimes its just too much:
Dissing Officer Bawse’s corny ass daily hoping the masses will wake up
Wondering why gunplay would snort coke in front of children
Ignorning non relevant music from has beens (recently Shyne has been included in this category…sorry)
Trying to figure out when they’re gonna stop using the Haarp machine to control the weather
Pretending like Jay Electronica can really save hip-hop
Looking for President Barry’s birth certificate
Trying to find diddys dignity
Searching for Jay-z’s soul (Joke)
Wondering how long its gonna be before people realize how corny and commercial the “anti-industry” blogosphere has become
…Oh & also wondering why people still give even give a half of a fuck about a Detox.. Dr. Dre is like 62 years old now… Get over it, you’ve been had.
Real Spit i respect ya post for this one YN!…but keep it real with him let him know what u think what the public thinks even if he’s hurt! isn’t that what they say the truth does n e wayz so in time he will heal and begin on reinventing himself!..but to let him kill his career what lil he got left by putting out garbage aint helping him only hurting him!…that shows u bout his managers producers and everybody working with shyne if they letting him release this bullshit with no real critiscm then they just don’t care bout him or give a fuck what he does…just my thoughts
i see why 50 cent hate you ELLIOT……….haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Let’s be honest, Shyne was never THAT nice to begin with. If it wasn’t for Barrington Levy, this nigga would be a nobody to this day.
truth be told
Real ass post. THE END
YOU SOUND SO EMOTIONAL.
If shyne doesnt want to sound the way he used too, thats on him. But who the fuck said shyne sounding like biggie was bad in the first place? He probably was upset at the comparisons those 10years locked up. I prefer that flow over his cartiac arrest tone.
Okay, so he doesn’t want to sound like BIG but he’d rather sound like the bastard son of Lloyd Banks/Rick Ross?…goddamn, though.
this was good YN. that was the easiest way to have him know whats up without the direct awkwardness. so i applaud u
YN, you’ve always been honest, so I’ll give you that. But Shyne sounds like utter shit right now, and if people inside his inner circle cant be complete contrite and brutally honest with him, then theres no reason for you to feel bad about what he’s been putting out. I know he did HARD jail time, I get that, but thats not gonna make your music any better if you’re not even trying to hone in or improve your craft. 10 years? no new flows? and now you dissin 50 again?
STOP IT FIVE
Lol The bastard son of banks/ross .. Artist,Fans will keep shittin on shyne if he dont change that flow, the truth hurts dont it ?
YN, this was a great post! (love your breaks too).
I wish I could like Shyne’s songs but he raps so bad it’s really impossible to like anything he’s doing right now. He’s forcing himself to sound different and it just doesn’t sound natural at all.
My boss keeps callin me but I dont wanna pick up. I hate it. Hate that my boss is a man headed lady that hates me cuz my hair grows faster than hers. Hate that she look like a frog and keep staring at me. Hate that I gotta be here til 5:30pm. Hate here 2 kids. Hate the other bitch that works here too. Hate all them new Shyne songs. Hate that Shyne is from Belize too, what a shame to our great nation. Scratch dat… our nation has many other shameful presentations! Marion Jones, the police department, our prime minister and his governement, and Shyne again. I hate my fricking job more than YN! If it was me I would gladly pick up that phone and be like “yo wtf dude? u need to shut the fcuk up!”
LOL @ IM JUS SAYIN’
Just tell Moses (Shyne knew name) just be a better Jew.
I’m sure even Moses knew when his voice wasn’t good.
“Then Moses said to the LORD, “Please, Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither recently nor in time past, nor since You have spoken to Your servant; for I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.”
This dsecribe Shyne’s new voice and flow. LOL
^^^ this is really in the bible. Ex: 4:10
LOL
This cat was never that good to begin with, he got lucky with a hot single that had Barrington Levy giving him a classic hook…………He’s laughable now, but even in his prime he was mediocre
That Its the Real shit was too funny by the way…
really tho!
Truth be told tho YN even tho the blogs and us clowned on shyne; we gave this guy 3 chances 2 get his shit 2gether. I mean the time he’s done is no joke so he was gonna need time to get himself sorted. He’s had those 3 chances and u sed he’s gonna carry on with this flow for the foreseeable future. If that’s the case and he puts out a whole album like this i doubt shyne’s pushin 8k 1st week which means he’s done. No ones gonna want 2 come near him with a deal, n u kno if irv’s workin with him then he’s pullin his strings 2 get at 50 which is a bad career move because u kno fif won’t answer ( never thought i’d day that before).
Oh goodness YN, cry me a freakin river lol
First, dude went to jail for shooting a gun in a crowded club and hitting a woman in her face, u crying for her too? Can y’all rap fans/bloggers stop acting like he’s Mumia?
Second, his shit sucks. Period.
Third, he wasn’t that great to begin with.
Lastly, he’s getting big $$ from his DJ deal.
LA REID GONNA LOSE HIS DAMN JOB….
SHYNE WORKING WITH IRV….FAIL!
SHYNE BEEFING WITH 50 LIKE PEOPLE REALLY CARE ABOUT 50 NOW…FAIL!
SHYNE WORRYING ABOUT SOUNDING LIKE BIG…PO, THIS ISN’T THE 90′S!!…AGAIN FAIL!
SHYNE NEEDS TO CHILL FOR A MNUTE AND GET HIS MIND RIGHT AND GET TOGETHER A SOLID GAME PLAN….HE NEEDS DIRECTION…EVERYTHING HAPPENING WAY TOO FAST…DUDE HASN’T HAD TIME TO JUST BE.
WHEN YN aka HI YELLA NINJA MAKE A LONG ASS HONEST POST LIKE THIS…DISASTER IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!!!
AND AGAIN…LA REID GONNA LOSE HIS JOB
ATTENTION YN/B. DOT….TELL THAT MAN THE TRUTH…SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE HONEST WITH HIM…CAUSE HE’S ABOUT TO MESS UP!!!
but even in his prime he was mediocre
^
mediorce? com’on now.
I must admit i was one of those cats sayin’ i cant wait for po to get home. And now im more puzzled than anything..its true there were simularites to big back in da day,but eventually he found his own identity.if it aint broke dont fix it..games old demos sound more like shyne than shyne does..us fans want that ol thag back. Remeber when coke changed its formula and nobody bought it so they were forced to bring back coke classic..bring shyne classic back.
Shyne would’ve fizzled out if he went to jail or not. He was another 50 Cent, where that gangster shit sold. No market for his ass today, and him smoking all day in jail fucked up his voice. I’m not talking about the tone in his voice, I’m saying that he can’t even catch his breath anymore. And lol @ you attacking T.I. for an album title, like the title is more important than the music, and oh yeah, the music is always hot from him. Stick to following what Jay-Z is wearing and keep with the Perez Hilton comments, because you ain’t fit to be taking shots. I hate this, I hate that, shut the fuck up, you sound like a little kid. That shit is reality. Shyne ain’t no fuckin’ lil bitch who needs someone crying for him. You do the crime, you do the time, simple. 50 Cent is already home, Shyne ain’t even in the country, so what does that tell you.
Real shit.
I agree that he was a mediocre lyricist in relation to the standards circa-10 years ago. He put out a great cd, with solid lyrics, but nobody was ever like, “yo shyne killed that verse”.
Much love to Elliot You a real nigga for this one. Bow Wow is the greatest rapper alive. 50 cent is really muscular and Skinny Jeans is the shit. Shyne’s shit has been really hot lately. Fuck the critics
And working with Irv ain’t the move either. Dude is a fail all around.
He needs to cut off this old ties and develop a new honest team. All these has beens trying to ride his coattails back to relevancy. Shit is com-e-dy!
Wow YN that’s a WHOLE lotta HATE… For the record: Shyne DID sound like BIG, and putting on the goofy Rick Ross retard voice doesn’t help avoid comparison… He just sounds like a retarded BIG… Real talk…
tell’em how u REALLY feel Elliot! lmaoooooooo
And working with Irv ain’t the move either. Dude is a fail all around.
He needs to cut off these old ties and develop a new honest team. All these has beens trying to ride his coattails back to relevancy. Shit is com-e-dy!
