Lloyd Banks Speaks On Being Independent
“Everything happened for a reason,” Banks said. “I feel like I’m so blessed because of my work ethic and how easy the music is coming to me. It feels so good to be an independent artist with a brand. I have direct deals with iTunes and things of that nature, where it’s direct money coming to me. It’s 50 percent of me that’s not pressed to be on a major.

the game was rite next 2 go was banks it seems lik 50 is taking all his artist money good move by banks
May 11th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
@ #2 jay ; he means he’s no longer on Interscope. He had a 2 albums deal, and now he’s out.
but he’s still G-Unit. anyway I hope Banks do his own thing cuz he’s the most talented one in G-Unit (including 50)
May 11th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
lol these guys are fools thinking banks is gone from g unit he is not he is leaving interscope cuz he wants more money from the big shots 50 will be doing the same shit after this album comes out.
May 11th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
Nobody is checking for 50 Cent or Bank! Their time is OVER! Bank is nothing more than a hit or miss mixtape artist…with a mediocre flow! 50 Cent is straight up WHACK! Game damn sure predicted the end for G-Unot!
May 11th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
“how easy the music is coming to me” – what music? LOL.. your mixtape freestyles? that’s music?!? hahaha..
only people on an independent are the ones that CANT be on a major.
“I have direct deals with iTunes and THINGS OF THAT NATURE” – things of that nature means “NOTHING ELSE”. lying pathetic ass negro.
“it’s their loss” – only thing they lost was dead weight. MUTHAFUCKER, YOU DON’T SELL RECORDS.

INTERSCOPE IS A PIECE OF SHIT, THEY NEVER PROMOTED BUCK THA WORLD WAY IT SHOULD OF BEEN DONE, T.O.S. WAS PURPOSELY UNDER SHIPPED IT THA 1ST WEEK I GUARANTEE U 50 IS LEAVIN INTERSCOPE N WILL BE AT ATLANTIC OR SOMTHIN…
May 11th, 2009 at 4:26 pm
lmao @ #6..i thought i was the only one who felt that way lol but why are people saying HE LEFT Interscope? That nigga Got DROPPED…why?…cuz what does it benefit a label to have an artist who aint bringin them any money in?
May 11th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
Aaaaahaaaaa!!!! This the same nigga that was trying to clown Cam when he was on Koch. Now he lookin stupid. Nobody checkin for this nigga but Gunit stans and employees. I wonder what publicity stunt he will try n do in the future so he can get a buzz. Maybe dis 50, who knows. i know its going to be something, just watch.
May 11th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
remember back in the days when g-unit was the shit
everybody that reaches the top eventually falls off
only jay-z gon b doing this shit till he hit 70’s or something hahahahahahahah
nah but fo real
like i understand what 50 doing
he beefing with everybody that he considers fake
he trying to reveal fake niggas fo who they are
but the only problem is that thats about 80 maybe 90 % of the whole rap game
i mean
if u meet khealed… he is a snob nigga aint no fucking hood nigga
nas- middle class family/ comfortable living not from the ghetto
jay-z- early pics/ look like a nerd not a drug dealer
ross- police
swizz- ever since his teens he was already rich
joe- ok fat joe street, but he aint living what he rapping about ….the numbas dont add up joe
the list goes on
and look…… 50 aint no damn angel neither
nigga got shit in his past thats also questionable
everybody is on sum level fake, sum people faker than others nobody is 100
nobody was born a real nigga u grew up and became one
anyways the point is ………you cant go beef with everybody
you only loosing fans like that 50
and artist around you who aint got shit to do with the beef get dragged in
in the streets that aint a problem, but in rap you only fucking up niggas careers and money
and 50 knows this now but its too late to take back his words
i dunno for sure but thats my interpretation of “before i self destruct”
he knows his career, well adleast the one he wants ….is over
damn nigga
remember the time when g-unit was the shit

100K Downloads In 2 Days Show U Niggas Are Checking For Banks..
May 11th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
50 is about to join him. I think the G-Unit and Interscope relationship is done.
I heard 50 might get the same deal as Jay-Z when his contract is done.
May 11th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
lmao @ Aruba’s Book Of Nothing’s…Hahaha..
All That Made No Sense Homie..
Niggas Been Saying The Same Shit Since T.O.S. Flopped..
50 Aint Going Away Where Homey..
This Industry Demands His Attention..
Just Look @ Rick Rawse And Who He Choose To Beef With? 50 And G-Unit..
Who Lil Wayne Consistently Throw Shots @? 50 And The Unit..
Who Cries Cuz 50 Was His Favorite Artist But Always Take Shots Him? Kanye..
Who Has Billion Viral Videos On Several Websites That Never Flop In Views? 50 And The Unit..
Just Get Used To It..
50 Has More Fans Than Most Artist, So His Fans Are A Majority In Hip-Hop..
Who Ever Your Rooting For Now, Prolly In Fact Has A Smaller Fan Base..
So Whats Your Fuss About?
May 11th, 2009 at 5:27 pm

No one is looking for Lloyd Blanks. He got more spotlight doing his gay pornos with chingy and sisqo than he did rapping lmfaooooooo. He went from a artist releasing albums and mtv videos to a mixtape rapper that cant even get 20,000 downloads lol. G-unit is irrelavent now.
May 12th, 2009 at 1:55 am
damn banks been a free agent since 2007?!!! WOW!!!
May 12th, 2009 at 3:31 am
yo im not sure what this means for the future of his career or if itll help him out at all im just checkin in to say im a banks supporter. hes one of the best out right now. hes def the current plk. you gota respect that.
as for the rest of g unit i dont give a fuck about them and i cant stand 50s stupid ass anymore…or rick ross…
im a banks fan based on his lyrical ability. thats it.
May 13th, 2009 at 6:48 am
Pink Floyd is a bum ass niggah. These faggots made fun of Fat Joe, and Cam’ron for being independent, and now this undercover lover is trying to sound like going independent is the shit. Fuck outta here. Gay-unit is finished.
