Shyne Wants Off Def Jam
It appears as if thee artiste has had enough. Shyne tells Sohh, that he wants to leave Def Jam Records. Po signed to the label eight months ago. He blames L.A. Reid for not understanding his vision and contemplates joining Cash Money.
I’m definitely trying to get with Cash Money but the Def Jam thing is a question mark right now. I’ve been fixing to get up out of there for a while now because [Island Def Jam CEO] 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? They don’t care about hip-hop music. You give them a hip-hop record with an R&B singer, you “might” have a chance. They don’t care. You got The Roots, Ghostface, Nas, probably the best hip-hop roster you could imagine and they do nothing. L.A. Reid doesn’t want nothing to do with rappers — it’s nothing personal, I don’t have nothing personal with dude but he makes it known he doesn’t care about hip-hop. So I’m really interested in seeing who’s gonna replace him. Because I know he’s been replaced — so I wanna find out who’s gonna take his spot before I decide what I’m gonna do with Def Jam…The music that we make is responsible for pop, R&B, everything that’s jumping right now.
They gotta care about [what we’ve done] the way Jimmy Iovine cares about that, the way Lyor Cohen cares about that,” Shyne added. “I’m definitely not gonna scrap everything I recorded. I put in so much, I’ve come so far. From the first record I did when I got out to the new records I’ve done while going to all these different countries, I ain’t scrapping nothing. I paid for that. 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.”

SHOULDN’T IT BE VICE VERSA???????????????????!
oh man, getta load of this guy!
THis whole shyne thing is jus gettin worse and worse by the day.. Shyne should want off that bullshit voice and flow hes been running with..
L.A. Reid Loss. Paid Shyne all that money and won’t even put out Lost Tapes 2.
OH I DIDN’T EVEN READ THE STORY BUT NOW I DID….. GET LIL WAYNE TO WRITE YOUR SHIT OR DRAKE PUT SOME AUTO TUNE ON YOUR DEAD ASS FLOW AND YOU’LL BE ALRIGHT
the guy’s got a point about def jam, but i’m not sure he’s the best man to be complaining about it.
Def Jam was suppose to be the Mecca of hip hop too bad they crossed over while housing most of the games best MCs:
Nas
Ghostface
Roots
Redman
Methodman
Young Jeezy
Rick Ross
Big Boi
Jadakiss
Fabolous
How many platinum plaques between these giants in the game on thier last release? Damn shame Def Jam is killing hip hop.

‘ I ain’t scrapping nothing. I paid for that. I’m not signed to Def Jam anyway, I just need to find another distributor’.
I thought this guy signed a million+ dollar contract with Def Jam. So was that true or is Shyne high?
He always so lucid in interviews, you know?

RIP SHAKUR STEWART
That’s why JAY bought his ish and RAN! LMFAO!
it seems rumors were true about reid being replaced :/
well shyne u would fit right in with cash money 90%wackass rappers
@The Return Of= ZoomZoom
Universal, Atlantic, Motown, Sony, WB, etc are indie/pop labels and even though they house hiphop acts, but Cashmoney (who also has pop acts but, started off as a extremely successful hiphop power house) , Young Money, and Roc Nation and Maybe if G.O.O.D. HAS AN ACTUAL RELEASE , are the only dominate hiphop labels around. YM had the ym compilation album, rebirth, and thank me later, which all went Gold, with the exception of drakes thank me later which went platinum, all the other fresh labels have yet to take that next step.

LMAO…I SAY A BIG FAT “FAIL” ACROSS THE BOARD FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED…..
nobody respects la reid none of the black elite executives not even the jew lyor not russel no one he turned that building in nyc into atl homo house!!! that aint wat the reputation of def jam is known for fuck him and his fat faggot as son!!!! oreo cookie ass niggas!!!go back down south with that bullshit. although shyne is wack!! atleast put the nas records out!
I’m confused. He said he wants of dam jam then at the end he says he’s not signed to them and just needs to find a distributor. I don’t know the decisions L.A. Reid makes by himself or what goes behind the basis of Shyne’s complaint but everything I heard from him has been terrible so why put garbage out. And with Cash Money he would have a list of people to follow before he could drop anything. Shyne has no buzz nor are people looking out for whatever he decides to do. That’s why set jam is telling him to go to hell.
That was all true! Wow, i hate L.A Reid. Hiphop influences every different trend we see but gets bashed by ppl like l.a Reid. Does he not realise HIPHOP and not fucking corny ass RNB is the reason he’s there? Someone fire this dude!
L.A. is gone. He’s supposed to taking a job as a judge on some new “American Idol” reality tv type gig. I hear Luda’s man Chaka Zulu is the replacement and it’ll be announced at the top of 2011.
I don’t think L.A. doesn’t care about rap, it’s that L.A. has no idea what he’s doing lol. He over spends and has a horrible report with his acts. Every label he’s headed he’s run into the ground. Between him and Sylvia Rhone I have no idea how they keep getting hired or why anyone would sign under them.
EVERYTHING THAT NIGGA SAID IS TRUE!!!! BUT HE’S QUIT DELUSIONAL HIMSELF THINKIN’ THAT THE SHIT HE RECORDED WAS GONNA COME OUT!!!! WHETHER U KNOW WUT THE FUCK U DOIN’ OR NOT, THERE’S NO WAY IN HELL ANY EXECUTIVE WOULD PUT OUT THAT HORRIBLE UNBEARABLE WACK SHIT!!!! HA!!!! THAT NIGGA BUGGIN’!!!!
….AND LIKE I’VE BEEN SAYIN’ ALL YEAR….FUCK L.A. REID!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
What my brotha says is true, but he a lot better off if he stay wit Def Jam instead of try to get on Cash Money. Cash Money will make his career plummet even more downward.
Full support, Shyne.
@mac DIESEL
WHETHER U KNOW WUT THE FUCK U DOIN’ OR NOT, THERE’S NO WAY IN HELL ANY EXECUTIVE WOULD PUT OUT THAT HORRIBLE UNBEARABLE WACK SHIT!!!! HA!!!! THAT NIGGA BUGGIN’!!!!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
LMFAO. So true, but yeah though. Everything the nigga Shyne said was right. Fuck a Def Jam, Fuck a L.A. Reid, but Fuck a Cash Money though. Actually, nevermind, most of them niggas is wack anyway so youd fit in fine. Drake and Nicki are the most talented only cuz they rap and sing, Wayne might get back to hip hop when he come out, but fuck the rest of them niggas.
Shyne is like the worst player on the team know as Def Jam.He need to shut up and stop smoking and be happy he hustle them into giving him that money. If anything they should kick him off.
Shyne should be happy he’s signed to Def Jam, with all that garbage he’s been putting out I’m surprised he even has a deal.
Looking like a deaf squirrel and shit in that picture SMH.
I actually think he tries hard to make the music he makes the problem is that he is so untalented and handicapped that anything that comes out his mouth is complete shit and I am shocked that anyone could call his so called “music” hot.
Dump that wack ass voice, get your old flow back, then talk shit Shyne!
SOMEBODY TELL THAT NIGGA PEE WEE HERMAN WANT HIS GREY BLAZER BACK
….NAH MY BAD THATS THE CHOPPER SUIT
Word I usually co-sign most of what you say, but just cuz Onika and Drake sing don’t mean they talented, just sayin.
Funny this guy is throwing L.A. Reid under the bus today and Kanye was praising him last week.
No matter what Def Jam is doing, I’m pretty sure they still have Kanye’s contract through Roc and he’s looking like he could have his biggest album ever.
LMAO@ amazinance. This nigga has the ENTIRE pee wee’s playhouse outfit on!!! But seriously though there’s got to be niggas in his circle that’s like look “you just not that tight”
Sure……………..I mean, it couldnt have anything to do with the fact that YOU SUCK, right???
Iight. I’m rocking wit Shyne on thiz 1ne. I was wondering whutz tha hold up wit him.
@Word co-sign
fuck belize
He’s probably about to get dropped!!
and is just jumping the gun so he can say it’s what he wanted when they fire him
Savin face basically
LOLOL CASH MONEY! he might get more money, but that music will just get worse http://fakerapnews.com/post/543577788/new-shyne-songs-actually-being-recorded-by-horse-that
“Fuck a Cash Money though. Actually, nevermind, most of them niggas is wack anyway so youd fit in fine. Drake and Nicki are the most talented only cuz they rap and sing, Wayne might get back to hip hop when he come out, but fuck the rest of them niggas.”
Allstar is the BEST thing on Cash Money,and he cant even get a release date smh.
Shyne knows he is about to get dropped, and is trying to save face by saying he wants out of Def Jam.
I AGREE RUSSELL SHOULD HAVE GIVEN THE DEF JAM JOB TO JAMES TODD OR SOMEONE QUALIFIED BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS NO MORE ARTIST DEVELOPMENT OR JOINT LABEL TOURS/MIXTAPES TO LET THE PEOPLE KNOW WHOS ON THE ROSTER AND WHATS POPPIN IM 23 AND REMEMBER THE SURVIVAL OF THE ILLEST TOUR FROM DEF JAM AND EVEN THOUGH HKL tour was ROC IT STILL HAD DEF JAM ARTISTS HEADLINING, NO MORE STREET TEAMS AND PROMO POSTERS. ITS SAD WHEN HEAVYWEIGHTS IN THIS GAME FLOP DUE TO LACK OF PROMOTION IT USED TO BE A SIN TO DROP AN LP WITHOUT A CHARTING SINGLE RELEASED OH WELL I GUESS SOME TALL ISRAELI IS RUNNING THIS RAP SHIT ITS SAD WHEN YOUR FLAGSHIP ARTIST CANT STAY OUTTA PRISON AND YOU REFUSE TO DROP THE LP OF ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED RAP CATS THIS DECADE
Hiphop aint selling. Business is business. I wouldnt sign no rappers either honestly. Hate em all you want but Hiphop has the worse record sells. Hate me for sayin this but LA is right from a business stand point. Shyne wont sell records. Neither will alot of ppl on that list. Give you hundreds of thousands in budget money so you can barely make enough to pay back my investment. Fuck no. I’ll give my money to a pop act who will double my investment.
So I take LA knew all about Hip Hop when you complaining ass niggas took them checks?
LA Reid doesn’t care about Hip Hop, he cares about moving units, which NONE of these rap acts can do. Nas, Ghost and The Roots don’t sell more than 300K, they are not 360 artist nor do they have any marketability for other ventures.
Don’t blame LA cause nobody wants to hear your music.. And just to remind you, a 20yr old consumer was 10yrs last time your name rand bells in hip hop.
Now you go drinking the “Stunna Kool Aid” if you want.
o here it goes another falling artist put the blame on the big Guys so then they decide they want to go to a label with somebody hot on there Rappers are bitches these days instead of standing up and saying its been some years and i dont know how to make a record that is accepted in these times he wanna throw another nigga under the bus i Mean LA Reid runs that whole fuccing Label which he has better rap artist to attend to (Fabolous,Jeezy,Ludacris,kanye West, Ross,Jadakiss,Method Man,Ghostface,Redman,Juelz santana) then up and comers(YG, Big Sean,Curren$y) who are putting in more work then shyne without the labels help really then trying to acquire new signings (Big Boi,trying to get Banks on the label) like LA reid aint got time for no fuccing shyne he complaing but he should be luccy that that nigga gave him a chance becuz when he signed to Def Jam everybody was more looking as a Loss for Def Jam then a win but I mean i understand why LA Reid would show more attention to RnB acts becuz majority of they money is RnB Money(Dream Ne-Yo, Rihanna) then have you ever heard a RnB artist complain and put the blame on a label for a failing album like rappers do I mean you got Niggas like Justin Beiber praising LA Reid for the job he doing when the little nigga basically got himself hot with a lil help from Usher Then you got this grown ass man whining and bitching about a CEO when there is hundreds of other people you should be getting at before you go for the Boss thats like the fry guy having beef with the Mcdonalds CEO about the quality of material they use to cook fries with or the carton color
LA Reid has kids on theses labels he has to tend to and develop this Nigga Shyne been signed before and has had 2 release altho thats not alot the niggas is a vet and he should be past blaming the CEO of the company for his music not getting love
TBH Nas is kind of in this same category like Snoop And Jay got them selves in positions to where niggas can complain about them and Nas should be in that kind of position not bitching about a budget I mean you can bitch and pout all you want but the truth of the matter what are you going to do about it EXACTLY
like if shyne really feel that way why dont he release his shit independently and stop relying on a nigga to do something for him and do something for him fuccing self same thing with Nas too like if you feel that the label isnt helping why would you put yourself in the same situation with a different name if somebody told me they were going give me money and i had plans for that money and the person flaked out I would never make plans for money that wasnt earned by me
Best Labels ever in Hip Hop
DefJam – Had all star line up
Tommy Boy- Had Solid music on a constant basis
Loud- Had that raw street talent
Profile- Gave us Run D Mc need i say more
Cold Chillin- A combo of Def Jam and Loud (all star line up and street edge like grap and juice crew)
Bad Boy- ran the 90’s gave us lox, biggie etc.
Rocafella- Ran late 90’s to early 2000’s
Uptown- gave us jodeci, heavy d, etc
Death Row- gave us Snoop
Ruthless- Gave us NWA
Relativiy- Gave us Common, Fat Joe, and others
Intercope- Currently the king of the hill.
Worst labels
DefJam – no longer king and is ruining hip hop
cash money
young money
asylum
