What should I ask him guys? It's my first real interview with anyone noteworthy (its for a college radio show, but there'll be a video). Definitely not going to be ballsy enough to say some sly shit, but would be interested to hear what you guys would ask him.

or will ever do.

And ask why he thought he could voice his opinion without consequence and then got mad when Kendrick mentioned him in a song.
He can say whatever he wants and no one can say shit, but when someone else says something he wanna get all up in arms.

-How his Jewish faith affects his day to day lifestyle now.
-If he's going to parlay all of this bullshit with Game and Kendrick into some good music. I'm pretty sure he said that he knew that some of his recent material was bad; what is he going to do to change that?
-It seems like ever since he's left prison, his career has been defined by beef: Diddy, Game, Kendrick. Why is conflict such a big part of his career now? Some would probably say that that's the only way he can get interest in his music now. What message does he intend to deliver with his music when all of this beef fades away?

Also, I interviewed a producer who worked with him. He said he made some amazing records with him, then Shyne got dropped from Def Jam, and he never heard back. Then he contacted us later to take back the statement of getting dropped.

His retracted statement:
UPDATE: Yesterday (October 24) Ken Lewis provided HipHopDX the following statement, as a retraction of comments made to DX earlier this month. "I made a terrible error during my interview with you and said i thought Shyne had been dropped from Def Jam . This is false. Shyne and Def Jam still have an active partnership. Def Jam still distributes Shyne's imprint, Gangland Records, and apparently I produced the lead off single called "Supreme" (which I just found out and am quite happy about, the song is great)...that shows you how disconnected I've been since leaving the project. The single drops in December 2011, with the album to follow in the spring of 2012. Please print this as accurate, it was completely my mistake to assume Shyne had been dropped because I hadn't heard anything about the project or my production in several months. I meant no disrespect to Shyne and its been an honor to be a part of another one of his albums (this makes three). Thank you and my apologies for the mistake, I haven't been sleeping much, staying on my grind."

Here's that interview: http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.17245/title.producer-ken-lewis-retracts-claims-made-that-shyne-was-dropped-by-def-jam

Congrats on your first notable interview. I remember when I had mine, it was a crazy experience. Good luck.

Only being signed because he sounded like Big, having a ride or die mentality for a dude that didn't give a fuck about him, being the ignorant dude in the club, going to jail only to get out and suck more than he did before, and then no one giving a fuck about him other than the fact he is weird as shit now.

U gonna front & act like u like the shit he's been putting out?

In all honesty there are very few questions that haven't been asked of the man in his interviews with Flex, power105, combat jack and Rosenberg.

Please touch on the ignorance that is people assuming members of the jewish diaspora have to look european.

Having said that I do have a few questions:

He recently released a gangland mixtape on datpiff. How does he feel this mixtape has impacted the culture?

What community service does Shyne do?

I'm intrigued about his readjustment to society. How has Shyne been able to adapt to life after being in prison for so long?

What was the biggest lesson he learned behind bars?

How does he separate Shyne from Moses Levy when everyone has this perception of who they feel he is supposed to be?

What are his plans for obtaining a visa?

What other business ventures does he have in the pipeline?

No empathy for white misery (c) BDot

"root for everybody black haters say that's crazy, wow..."

was he influenced by kool g rap? and his other influences?
what era of rap he most relates to, being that he technically isn't 'american'?
his dream collabs?

Is Manny and Don Pooh still working with him?

<----See them records I produced on my studio's wall, tell me son, where's yours?---->

He recently dropped a mixtape a few months ago. Wasn't bad at all, his flow just annoyed me.
