I was never a loyd banks fan but reading the interview, i respect dude. I'll probably give him a second try to see what that music about now. Real interview right here.

 

[Still FloW]

Nah, honestly... this is the greatest read ive seen all year... WOW

''That’s another reason why I don’t really fukk with the media. I’m just smart enough to know when people have me or the group in their best interests. If you don’t care about [us] or it didn’t touch you the way it touched other people, do you really want to see us get back together? Or is it fun for you to see drama, period? That’s why I kind of shied away from it, ’cause I see what it’s about. They build you up to break you down. I’m not gonna participate in that. I’m waiting until you want to say, “Good shyt,” and ask real questions.''

THIS !!!! is why i respect him so much....

So I just realized after a while, and then watching the comments, that music is changing. This is not what made me fall in love with music. So if I’m watching all the pieces that made me fall in love with it not be relevant anymore…

You can go on WorldStar or something and your video that you spent hours at, the whole day shooting, and it’s next to two monkeys fukking. It’s like, where do I go to find the straight hip-hop? If that’s the platform then I don’t know if I’m into that.

I had to deal with all of this shyt in the media. I lost my grandmother, I lost my father, I lost my best friend. I grew up in the shyt. My whole 20s was sacrificed to my friend’s family and hip-hop. I don’t have no girlfriend, I don’t have no kids. I was completely locked in on it so much that it made me mad at the music. It made me mad that I put so much into this shyt, that I missed so much. I wasn’t there when my best friend got killed, I wasn’t there when my father was found. It makes you kind of resent the same shyt that you love. So my fans are going, “Where you at?” [But] I hated it. I love to make music but I hate what it did to me and what it did to my friends. So I fell back from it.

Damn....I totally understand Banks and in some ways I can relate.

He's a real artist in a game where somehow being a business man has become more important than creating.

There are so many gems in that fukking interview thoughts I have had being a rap fan all my life (32) and shyt about the music is too fukking crazy right now it was supposed to always be about bars above all now its all about the producer, the beat, the dance that goes along with it, the twitter hastag,the instagram following and all that everything BUT the music the shyt that you grew up loving you cant even relate better yet DONT want to relate to.

I didnt think it was possible but I love Lloyd Banks even more now

Motherfukking P.L.K.!!!!

 

[Ohene]

true

this quote right here really stuck out to me

I was just saying the other day im sick of all these damn remixes artists put out constantly. 80 diff rappers hopping on the same damn beat. shyt, songs that are just starting to bubble and you got dudes quicker to hop on someone elses shyt remixing it than going in the studio and making their own shyt. it's over saturating

*cough cough* Styles P

*cough* Jadakiss and Sheek

*cough* Louch
