Lloyd Banks Clan Aint Nuttin' Ta Fuck Wit!

"Rapper Lloyd Banks and three associates were arrested in Ontario, Canada this weekend for assaulting a promoter. According to reports, Banks and the three other men assaulted Hines in a hotel room near Kitchener, when Hines reportedly refused to pay Banks for the performance. Banks was allegedly late to the venue and only performed one song and walked off the stage, further inciting an already agitated crowd. The four men will be charged with assault, robbery and forced confinement."-AllHipHop.com


Canada must be way more hardbody than we give it credit for. Remind me to go back & listen to see if DJ Quik said it was 'Jus Lyke Compton.' Maybe they just don't like Americans, & all that weed smoke in the air has created a society with no inhibitions, thusly, rappers get shit thrown at them on stage, prostitution is legal, etc. Personally, I wouldn't fuck around in a place where the cops ride horses, moose-shooting is a pastime, & hockey is the most popular sport. Where else do they let you beat the hell out of each other, sit down & rest as a "penalty", only to come back with a stick & an even worse disposition? Mayweather's playing around with this supposed Pac-man fight, when he should be trying out for the Toronto Maple Leaf's, really though. Although, thanks to Gilbert Arenas, the NBA is slowly making it's way back up the totem pole of gulliness. No shots-pun intended.


After all the verbiage thrown his way, you'd think Lloyd Banks would've staked out every Arby's below the Mason-Dixon by now, in hopes of running across Rick Ross the rapper, or every dope spot, on the chance that Young Buck may be trolling in or out. No dice. I don't condone violence, but once Ross the rapper put it out there that Banks was a gay porn star, & videos emerged of a dude that really did look a lot like him humping another man in the keister, I'da had to run up on homie. Even if it meant cutting my knuckles to the white meat on bulletproof beard. But that's not the point...


[tony's note: the gay, lloyd banks-look-alike-porn star took his new found fame, & released a rap song. that was an awkward, but smart move. just saying...]


The point is that, these rappers kill me with the way they handle their business. If I didn't sell a whole hell of a lot of records, & yet people still wanted to pay me to perform, there's no way on Earth I'd be late. Maybe I'm the silly one for thinking "rapping" is a legitimate job. There was nothing between a dwindling Lloyd Banks & his pay day but air & opportunity. That's like, all I have to eat at home is Cup O' Noodles, & Wienerschnitzel's is offering me all-you-can eat corn dogs as long as I eat them there, for people to see me. No question; corn dogs, FTW! & if I was late for the wiener buffet, pause, I can't be mad at the manager, much less have my weed carriers stomp him out. I would've politely asked for an extra large chili fries, with onions, & went on about my merry way.


You know Hip Hop is getting disrespectful when the weed carrier's weed carriers are handing out ass whippings.


At the least, Banks could've just got at the man one-on-one, with carriers on stand-by, so if he started losing, they could've stepped in & minimalized the damage. Makes sense to me. But then again, I'm not a rapper. At the most, Judge Mathis seems to be a pretty fair cat. He could've took dude on the show to sue him, got his money plus extra compensation, AND been on T.V. Instead, the niggas in jail, with his crew in tow. & the lawsuit shoe will most definitely be on the other foot now.


I sort of feel sorry for Banks, because as talented as he is, he never fully reached his potential. I'm sure standing behind 50 Cent in all the promo shots, & doing his ad-libs at every performance sounded like a good idea at first. Now it's probably clear that such a "career" move may have stifled him a bit. This whole episode reeks of a bitter rapper & his band of henchmen taking out their hunger pangs on a man that's just trying to make an honest buck. I would argue that his arrest might help him realize that being a rap cat doesn't make one above the law, but apparently rappers think going to jail is good for publicity these days, so, yeah. For all we know, the promoter guy may have been ready to work out an agreement with Banks, & Banks, needing a popularity boost, screamed "G-G-G-G-G-G-Unit!" at the top of his lungs & chopped him in the throat. Rappers seem to have a backwards sense of productivity these days. Even the irrelevant ones.


Without Interscope on his back, Lloyd is free to make major moves, & he's arguably one of the better free agents out there right now. Assuming this case goes to trial, & he faces time behind bars, this is the perfect time to drop that new mixtape. Jail time is the new magazine advertisement, & I wouldn't put it past Lloyd to have done this shit on purpose, word to Gucci Mane.

I don't like Canada. Been there 4X. ALWAYS a problem. Canadian people are cool. Don't like Canada.

Sounds like said promoter fronted on some dough. Probably no one showed up for the gig. Promoter is still supposed to give that bread up if you show up, real talk, 100%, but I wasn't there. Still don't like Canada though...and thus the reason they are still there until the hearing.

I don't like Canada.

This may not be the proper forum to vent my frustration but at least I know it'll get printed. FUCK XXLmag.com Some kid commented on XXL being late with the Banks story, I told him he could've read all about it on R&WIFDP and posted a link to this sight. Faggot moderators never put the comment up. Try to give another sight some shine and they shut the kid down. Keep doing what you do T, people will get the message sooner or later. Fuck Canada, word to South Park.

Yeah Cap G I tried too. F*** 'em. They moderated my reply all weekend on that Jay post because I said people need to stop forgetting Biggs was part of the Roc too.

Capital G said...

Allow me to retort. I had to come over here and talk a little shit in order for my comment to be posted on XXL, just in time for the post to be knocked out of the headlines on the main page. Son of a bitch! I tried to spread the gospel of Grand$ and got semi shut down again.

it always fucks with me to no end how mothafuckas say they from the street and when the oppurtunity comes to blow their opputunity that got them off the streets, they never fail to choose the foolishness. a real street nigga, ain't tryin to go to jail. it's niggas who be tryin to proove somethin that be ready to go to jail when people is watchin, rather than go because they was already in the midst of some real shit. its the same mothafucka that started the fights in high school at the parties as long as the girls were around. anything just to get a rep. word to Gangstarr.

cause if any nigga gone sit up n say that jail is a place he'd rather be is a flamiing homosexual. or at the very least is a liar and the truth aint in him...
