Video: Mixtape Daily – Lloyd Banks
“I was ready to make a move,” Banks said about leaving the ‘Scope. “I’m a brand-new engine. If anything, it’s their loss. It’s been a dark shadow cast upon that. That’s why you hear [Funk Master] Flex on the radio [boycotting Interscope], because it’s an aura created around that machine, and the artists automatically get smacked in the head.”
“[An artist signed to Interscope] doesn’t even know what’s going on,” Banks added. “You just turn on the radio, and they’re saying, ‘F— Interscope Records,’ and you fall into that batch. So it’s almost a foul taste in the mouth when they deliver the record. I felt it’s time for me to go somewhere where it’s not biased and I get a fair shot. There’s a lot of stuff on the table right now. You don’t wanna speak about it until it gets ironed out all the way.”
Banks said Polow Da Don, Swizz Beatz and Just Blaze will be contributing beats to his new LP, and he wants
some of the A-list MCs to get down as well.

“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.“I have the Lloyd Banks branding and also the G-Unit branding,” he added. “It hasn’t really been an artist out there independent that is still capable of getting out there and regenerating energy. Most of the [well-established] artists that’s independent, it’s after they dropped seven or eight albums on a major. I have two albums off a major, and everybody is anticipating what I’m doing now off of the mixtapes.”

” During one of his stays with Oakland, Ricky Henderson’s locker was next to Billy Beane’s. After making the team out of spring training, Beane was sent to the minors after a few months. Upon his return, about six weeks later, Henderson looked at Beane and said, “Hey, man, where have you been? Haven’t seen you in awhile.”
