What do you think of this story?Jailed rapper close to $3 million deal
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Island Def Jam expects to sign imprisoned rapper Jamal "Shyne" Barrow to a $3 million record contract this week, a source familiar with the negotiations said.
Shyne, now serving a 10-year term for his role in a New York nightclub shooting involving Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, was expected to finalize the deal by the end of this week, according to the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/Music/04/20/music.shyne.defjam.ap/index.htmlThe label plans to produce the album with material Shyne recorded before he began serving his sentence, the source said. The prospect of other releases from prison -- some rappers have recorded albums over the phone or in visiting rooms -- was unclear.That's pretty pathetic.
Why in the heck do some rap artists shoot each other? It seems like there are always some stories in the news about something criminal happening in the music industry, especially among rappers.
