Labels don't sign the real talent anymore, I would think the more good acts that you sign the more likely it is you would find success in this buisness, it's not about the big signing bonuses with me, it's about respect my hustle and my craft ane hlep me push it to the next level. Why are so many lables looking for young gimmicks with no real talent? They run away from the talented indivduals with buisness minds and the will to grind and make things happen. Being 28 and securing deals on my own accord without much help but continuing to push has brought up many questions. And here is one based on the industry as a whole and industry insiders doing buisness the way that they do:

The question arises: can Shyne make a come back?
No. And not because I'm denying his skills, but because he left the game
at a time when things were all good, only to make a (possible) return
when the game has died out. It's so dead, in fact, that the same 6
rappers keep dropping albums. And manage to sell. And the other 46
rappers either a) can't make a record. B) drop and flop. C) are
mixtape/internet rappers and will always be. Or D)... just plain suck.
Shyne has been gone since 2001 or so. It's now 2009. Why don't we
fill in the graduating prisoners of 2009 on the changes that have taken
place in the past 8 years?
Number one, the younger demographic in hip-hop has arrived. "Who the
f*ck is Shyne? We want Soulja Boy!" (Well, according to his sales, not
really.)
Second, the sign of the times has come and gone. A lot of us have pretty much accepted it. The hip-hop throne that was once Def ..Jam..
has changed dramatically since that day they signed Shyne back in '04.
Even though they under promoted his sophomore effort and shoved it
under the rug. (Let's just say that Shyne's album was the beginning of
Def Jam's new "f*ck rap" attitude.) But even still, just try and fathom
the '09 Def Jam signing some rapper behind bars. Come to think of it, L.A Reid may just try and sign Chris Brown at some point during his incarceration.
Lastly, there's no competition. No grind. No nothing. The game is dead.
"I know he's anxious to get back into the recording industry," attorney Oscar Michelin stated on Shyne's behalf. "He's got a lot to say. And people are anxious to hear it."
People who still care will want to hear it. But other than that, Shyne will be returning to an empty house.
If fans are worried that Jadakiss will drop The Last Kiss and sell less than the worst rappers in the game right now, then ... fill in the rest.
My advice to Shyne is to steer clear of Diddy, at all "costs."
What do you think?? Give me your hones opinions
