Four months after being released from prison and then deported to Belize, Shyne has reportedly signed a seven-figure deal with Def Jam Records.

Miss Info reports that the label won a bidding war over the rapper, whose 2004 album, Godfather Buried Alive, was released on Def Jam while he was in jail.

Now, kudos to the man for locking down a deal, but in 2010, who signs seven-figure deals, aside from Drake???

While there has been a lot of buzz over Shyne since his release, is it enough to warrant a label doing that kind of deal for an artist who released one platinum album 10 years ago, a follow-up that wasn’t worth the plastic it was pressed on, and… well… there was that verse on that DJ Khaled record that leaked a few weeks ago that was doo-doo…

And how is Shyne gonna promote his album in the United States, a country he was deported from?!???!??

This whole thing has FAIL written all over it.

The rumor mill has been buzzing for awhile that Def Jam head, L.A. Reid, was on his way out, and if this Shyne project flops, I believe that will be the final nail in Reid’s coffin.

    Damn. A 7 figure deal? Yeah, that’s a definite leap of faith on the part of Def Jam. Hell, well established artists aren’t even selling these days! I guess we will have to wait and see!

    This s**t is F**kd up… no disrespect Shyne get it,Then you guys made a B.I.G. ERROR saying ” he had a platinum release and then a follow- up on Def Jam??? The only Official release was “Godfather Buried Alive” from what I remember, (that people was saying that Foxy was actually spitting on the tracks, I don’t know about that) but YOUZ already giving the buzz regardless,then F**k up even more by saying the “country he was deported from??? TO M***F**A TO!!
    That’s like someone from the U.S. being a drug kingpin in Columbia getting Knocked and sent back here.NEVER YOU WILL ROT in HELL I mean JAIL. As far as LA Reid leaving, OK leave The Yankees of Hip- Hop needs someone else to manage this and bring a new Championship.

    directed towards Macc-Mittenz… for 1 : Stop biting Beanie Sigel’s name, (I don’t know where you from, or whut banner you waivin’) but da streetz ain’t safe enough for dat s**t. Anyway, look up Shyne’s debut album on Bad Boy (self-titled) that was the platinum release. The follow-up was dope as hell, but it bricked due to little marketing and promotion. Probably cuz’ Shyne was still locked up, and couldn’t promote the f**kin’ album. Shyne was fought over by these record companies, because they know he’s the truth. They know that this nigga is gonna blow witha deadly vengeance. They know that this nigga is going to disrespect and spit in the eye of ev’ry fake b***h ass nigga out there that’s gettin’ money, from Puff(*especially, 50 cent, to The Game, to Jay-Z. And ain’t s**t they gone do about it, cuz’ they know this nigga is a beast, and unlike them …He will back his talk up with actions!!! I wouldn’t be surprised if Diddy and his paper ain’t behind havin’ homeboy deported. …Hmmm?

    Well I am not Cleo, but, L.A. Reid might as well clean out his desk. I can see Shyne getting air play but platinum in this day and age and he can’t come to the US hmmm.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/2daTopnonStop/ 2daTopnonStop

    Why can’t he come back to the U.S? Why are people knocking him before he even gets started? Haters stya busy I guess~

    7 figures…thats a million and some digits~ what is that to MEGA MONEY MAKERS? Don’t let the press fool you~ there is money to be had out there and this cat is out there getting it~

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DJ_Panik74/ DJ_Panik74

    I respect Shyne n all, but I’m sorry, he’s not worth 7 figures. Remember all the hype surrounding his last album (which dropped on Def Jam) and the album damn near went wood, and that was the era when albums still sold a decent amount if the album was solid enough…but at that time, he couldn’t promote it because he was locked up, so what’s the difference now? He can’t even do shows in the USA!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/marketsrmine/ marketsrmine

    When I read this the other after it came across the wire, I LMFAO. Yea I guess Reid already knows his days are numbered and wanted to stick it to Def Jam before he left. After hearing that verse on the Khaled leak last week I knew it was a wrapington for Shyne.

    I’m not a hater I was actually a fan of the first album, but yea that’s where my Shyne investments stopped.

    This dude would have never had a deal if Puff wasn’t looking for a BIG replacement back-day. He is a no-talent hack and DJ just wasted a million dollars plus. Maybe this is a political debt for taking the fall for PD???

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sunny1way/ sunny1way

    People need to let Shyne shine. He went down for Puffy’s s**t and didn’t have the chance to do him. He has talent and can do what he gotta if people just give him a chance. Him being deported makes no difference in the long run since we all buy music from all over the world. Him not being allowed in the US will generate sales, not stop them. We all want what we can’t have. It’s the human condition. Haters find another topic!

    If any of you really think that he will put out a hot album after a decade behind bars then you are as dumb as he was for shooting that gun in a crowded club. Besides he ws in his 20′s when he made his last album there is no way he is still relevant to whats going on in hip hop 10 years later. Def Jam wasted its 7 figures on an album that will go double wood if it don’t go rust!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/riva_89/ riva_89

    Good for him. This shows there is life After Bad Boy aka Diddy screws you over. I liked him when he was out, and even tho his second relase didnt do too well, it was still good. Quality music.I hope Shyne come back with that hotness the game has been missing for a while now.

    Let me tell you something Ptah usir II You don’t know jack s**t about me and why I used the Beanie Sigel moniker, I’m far from a biter, It was about respect to a real dude it works because now a dude like you want to call me out with his opinion,You might be tight cause you didn’t think of it first..you the type of dude talking with the keyboard on how real the streets are and probably never left your block. come on dun like everybody on this MOFO is orginal. As far as Shyne goes I wasn’t disrespecting him either If he’s gettin it good for him or anyone else. I’m with you on that.I know the Bad Boy M.O. I have never seen a Shyne album except for the one on Def Jam, I’ve heard songs but I didn’t see the CD maybe I’m wrong about that. whatever.
