"JAY-Z TOSSED YOUR DEMO IN THE TRASH???" SHYNE ON GETTING SIGNED & BEING COMPARED TO BIGGIE

In this past clip from My Expert Opinion Ep #279, Shyne sits down with Math Hoffa to talk about his journey from the streets of Brooklyn to landing a million-dollar deal with Bad Boy Records.

Shyne opens up about early comparisons to The Notorious B.I.G., how his baritone voice and Brooklyn roots led to constant Biggie talk, and why those comparisons never fazed him. He also breaks down the bidding war between Diddy, Chris Lighty, Lyor Cohen, and Jimmy Iovine, and one of the most shocking moments in his come-up — when Jay-Z literally tossed his demo tape in the trash before he blew up.
