Lloyd Banks
Interview by Stefanie Philippou

1) MH2- Talk about the BET performance, how did you feel when you were on the stage?

LB- “It was something really crazy man, shout out to Busta man he gave me a real good way to pop out, actually I wanted to keep it a little secret, I really didn’t want anyone to know I was there, that’s why I didn’t walk the red carpet. I just wanted to pop up, and give people the idea that I’m coming. I almost busted my ass on it, but I did it.”

2) MH2-You and Eminem shined it out like crazy.

LB- “It felt real good man, it was a Deja vu for me actually, the before the 2004 BET awards was the day my album came out, so to be back in that building and back on that stage, and for the clan to embrace me the way they did, just let me know it was going to be a beautiful year.”

3) MH2- Lets talk about the singles, I know you dropped out that My house record first, produced by Timbaland, then you came with Hands up, that’s like the new bang of the year right now, what made you go with this record?

LB- “The Cake that’s the one that was the aggressive, I wasn’t thinking of the radio when I made that record, I was like this is what we need to hear, this is what hip hop needs, I’m still working on it, I just recently shot the video, about a week ago I shot that video. The My House record which is actually the timbaland record, which I actually sold that record to the Little Man movie, just to be on the top of the line, and have as many records out there as possible. The Hands Up record produced by Eminem, featuring 50 Cent, that’s the first official single, I just shot the video, in LA, and you can expect to see that video on the 20th of this month.”

4) MH2- Any major appearance on that video?

LB- “Our crew makes up all the appearances, once my crew gets on it, there really isn’t any more room for outside artist. Its ridiculous man, I think it’s my best video yet.”

5) MH2- Who is featured on the album, along with producers?

LB- “Well as far as production I got of course Eminem, he did the first single, Eminem also did a record New York, New York featuring Tony Yayo, Ron Browz gave me two records, he did Playboy part two, for people who are familiar, with Hunger for More record I had a record called Playboy, I got Havoc he produced the Rotten Apple, I wanted to start off the same way I did the last album, I got Sha Money XL. There is a lot of production on it, and a lot of unknown producers.”

6) MH2- What else is coming up, any tours planned?

LB- “Yeah, well actually after I do my T.V rounds and bring my video out, I actually got two videos out, actually while we at it, I got the Cake record coming out on video, I shot that a few days before I shot the Hands Up video, and I’ll be bringing out another video before my album comes out, so as far as touring as stuff like that, yeah I’m going on tour the last week of this month, I’m going to be doing promo tours, I’ll be out there in the course of all of August, and immediately after that I will be going on a regular tour, touring all the states.”

7) MH2- You guys are taking it to another level, for the fact that 50 is the first one to perform in Greece and sell out the whole stadium, you guys are really opening up door, for people like Jay Z to perform there in September.

LB- “That touring was very appreciative and those markets, they don’t get to see you a lot, you know what I’m saying, we did the biggest hip hop show in Italy, I did a show in Iraq for the troops, in Bangkok, Thailand, I actually performed in the Gladiator Arena out there in Italy so it’s just crazy man. Hip hop is growing man.”

8) MH2- I apologize for switching up the subject right now, but do you think of, you Jadakiss, and Fat Joe situation?

LB- “I don’t wake up and look forward to those situations, at the same time I didn’t know any of those dudes before hip hop. It’s not something that makes or breaks my name. Whatever ni**a, at the end of the day that’s not what’s really important to me, the things that are most important to me, before I got into hip hop I’ve already accomplished. I had my mother and my grandmother, my family out of the neighborhood that we grew up in, we grew up in to a better situation, a better life style. I put my cousins through college as well as my brother, those are the things that matter. It’s really not beef that’s why I speak on it very comfortably, I’ve been through real beef before, this is hip hop this is rappers being competitive bottom line. At the same time, we have certain street principles that follow us, and I live by them, so I will not break down on anything like that or compromise for hip hop because at the end of the day I am a man first, so disrespect is disrespect regardless if you are an entertainer or if you work a 9 to 5 so I don’t wake up looking for the bulls**t, but if its there I’ll be more than happy to assist you, and that’s it.”
