Multiple sources have confirmed to me that Shyne Po has signed a 7-figure deal with Def Jam.

This ends a bidding war that had industry bigwigs vying for Shyne’s attention, flying to Belize, calling and courting, ever since the Brooklyn emcee was released from prison and deported to Belize back in October.

For Shyne to turn down hard-court pressure from Jimmy Iovine/Dr.Dre and others and instead join LA Reid back at his last known recording-residence actually seems like an inevitable move….because I’ve been hearing that Shyne has been pow-wowing with veteran manager Kyambo “HipHop” Joshua for a while now. Joshua and his HipHopSince1978 partners, Gee Roberson, also manage Lil Wayne, Drake, Young Jeezy and more. Meanwhile, my old friend Al Branch is both a partner in HipHopSince1978 and a high-level exec at Def Jam…see how that works? Synergy! Now there have been recent reports of new label-wide pressures, but with this team in place, Shyne is in good hands

7 FIGURE DEAL FOR SHYNE?? DEF JAM JUST GOT RIPPED OFF LOL

 

[Darkshowdown]

He was already signed to Def jam (remember godfather buried alive album) Looks like they just rearranged his deal and gave him more money. He bout to blow the fuck up long as he dont wear tight jeans and make dumb music.

 

[MrPeete]

7 figures means the deal is POTENTIALLY worth 7 figures. Doesn't mean they cut him a check right now for a million

 

[Da Gu]

if he continues to rap the way he did on that Khaled track....yes they did

 

[INKVENOM]

I knew he wasnt going over to Interscope. (Bad Boy is over there)

 

[JuVe"559"]

only time will tell.

 

[Scatter Brain]

diddy needs to give him seven figures on gp

 

[REdRUM]

I may start listening to country music if I see Shyne with some tight jeans and a faux-hawk dancing next to Drake.

 

[Gas One]

diddy needs to give him seven figures on gp

his mom wouldnt even take 300 dollars from diddys assistant when he was in jail...lol..she was like "i hope the guy returned it and told him we didnt want it"

they tore diddy apart on that xxl magazine....was years ago

 

[REdRUM]

< Has that XXL.

I just read that interview again a couple weeks ago.

 

[Timm]

[poranamo3rd]

thats wassup.. shynes gettin' his money.. but i hope he doesnt join the new wack ass movement w/wayne, drake.. skinny"booty" jeans (no homo).. vans.. toddler tees.. auto-tunes.. that whole movement is embarassing to music society.. i hope it dies fasttt!

 

[INKVENOM]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What he said!

I hope Shyne gets it popping though!

 

[UsA'sMostWanted]

Something is unfortunately going to go wrong here, thats fact. What the fuck did you all think?

Shyne IS a RAPPER and as far as RAP goes, it just isn't going anywhere towards the direction we all want to see it going. Expect a better album than Godfather Buried Alive, but don't think it will have many tracks that are as hard as his first project with Bad Boy. Not that he isn't hungry or anything, but Shyne was cut off at his prime, his value comes from simply the existance of those curious to hear what he has to say about having been caught up in the slammer.

 

[Birdman_McG]

I'm actually looking forward to a new Shyne album but I think the whole seven figure deal thing is just to hype him up in the media.

All I need in this life of sin..is a crooked lawyer, big rims, and a Mac 10. - Shyne Po


Don't care about how much he's making, or what label its on...just make some good music.

 

[INKVENOM]

If he gets top notch production he will already be half way there.
