Shyne Compares "Bury Judas" To Nas' "Ether" & Jay-Z's "Takeover"

Shyne took his beef with Game to wax with his diss track “Bury Judas,” rapping, “I shoot the butterfly off your face / And tell Jesus peace, smile at your wake.” During an interview with Vlad TV, Po said that his record was on par with Nas‘ “Ether,” Jay-Z‘s “Takeover” and 2Pac’s “Hit ‘Em Up,” stating that he had a strong influence on Chuck Taylor‘s career and that the song was a response to his betrayal. “‘Bury Judas’ is just really me documenting, if you will, the influence that I’ve had on this character,” he said. “I think ‘Bury Judas’ is on the level of ‘Ether,’ is on the level of ‘Takeover,’ is on the level of 2Pac, ‘Hit ‘Em Up.’ I think it was a very honest, powerful record.” He also said that Game is more of a “Judas” than a “Jesus,” stating that the former is a “fork-tongued guy” who is “only concerned with preserving himself at all costs.” “This kid has an album called Jesus Piece. This is what happened. Judas was a very duplicitous, fork-tongued guy. I don’t think he’s Jesus. I think he’s Judas. Because Jesus was a rabbi, married with kids. We don’t need to get into all that, but Judas was a traitor, Judas was a self-serving traitor that was only concerned with preserving himself at all costs.”

I’m worldwide, wherever I go, I get the red carpet rolled out for me because I been about it. A lot of these dude’s that’s talking ain’t never did nothin’! …At the end of the day, it comes down to what you did. And what I’ve done is always be an honorable…individual. For these dudes to say they face what I faced and perform the way I performed, they can’t say that.”

Shyne Blasts Diddy Over Failing To Take Care Of Slain Bodyguard's Family

Between attacking Rick Ross’ latest mixtape, questioningDrake’s credibility and even trashing Kendrick Lamar’sdebut LP, Shyne has been keeping himself busy taking other artists to task. Now, in an exclusive interview withAllHipHop, the former Bad Boy once again sets his sights on his old boss Diddy.

Shyne explained that the origins of his antipathy for Diddy stem from the lack of financial assistance Diddy has provided for the family of his slain bodyguard Anthony “Wolf” Jones. He said that he witnessed first-hand Jones laying his life on the line for the Bad Boy mogul, only to have Diddy shirk his responsibilities to Jones’ family following his death.

“The testament to [my beef with Diddy] is the way he treats Anthony ‘Wolf’ Jones’ mother and his family. If it wasn’t for Anthony Wolf Jones, he [Diddy] wouldn’t be alive today. I know this for a fact,” he said. “Suge Knight was on his back and Wolf was the guy that kept Diddy alive. You would think that after he passed away he would have gratitude forever, especially when you think about the way that he’s rolling. How you not sending your man’s kid’s off to college? How you not take care of your man’s mother mortgage?”

Shyne also spoke on his plans to return to the United States to perform. The Belize-born emcee blames President Barack Obama for his current visa issues, saying that he plans to return to the States by March of next year, with or without the POTUS‘ help.

“We working on that and for whatever reason President Obama don’t see the benefit that I bring to the African and Latin-American impoverished communities throughout the United States of America,” he said. “He doesn’t seem to get the fact that [there is] nobody more [qualified] than myself to speak to these kids in an honest way with integrity, that can influence them to change their lives and turn their lives around. He doesn’t get the fact that I’m the spokesperson to combat the violence in inner cities. But we working on getting that visa, so I should be in the United States in March of 2013, with or without Obama.”

Former Bad Boy rapper Shyne is trying to gain hip-hop’s interest in his fledgling career. His latest attempt at relevance comes in the form of Shyne calling rapper Kendrick Lamar‘s album good kid, m.A.A.d city  trash. After being attacked and ridiculed by Black Twitter, Shyne called in to New York City radio show The Cipha Sounds & Rosenberg Show to defend himself.

Shyne feels Kendrick Lamar has the potential to deliver a classic album, but says good kid, m.A.A.d city is garbage because K. Dot has been fed to the hype machine. Basically, he’s saying everybody likes Kendrick’s album because we were told we should. When he was asked to further explain his thought process, Shyne stated, “I ain’t starting no trouble. Listen, y’all live in the United States of America. We don’t live in the United States of Aftermath, Jimmy Iovine doesn’t pay me, I can say whatever I want. I’m not talking reckless. I said the young boy got potential and I said he was talented, but the album is trash. That’s tough love.”

“What I said wasn’t not nice, I didn’t attack him as an individual, I didn’t say anything disrespectful. It’s trash! I don’t really listen to these rappers, but I heard him on a few joints and I was like, shorty’s nice. … So when he was coming out with an album, I was like, I’ma hear more of that,” Shyne went on.

After calling the beats on good kid, m.A.A.d city terrible, Shyne said he felt it was his responsibility to say what he said because he doesn’t want Kendrick to become a victim of his own hype. “I feel bad for him because everybody’s gassing him right now, everyone’s on him. He on fire because of that Interscope machine, he’s on fire because of that Dr. Dre machine. He’s nice, but that’s a lot of hype. All I’m saying is, to show y’all I’m not a hater, 50 Cent delivered. I never had nothing positive to say about him, but he delivered. He lived up to the hype.”
