The ladies were screaming, the fellas were hyped, and gangs of students were just now getting the memo. Who would have ever imagined that the very sexy Lloyd Banks would grace the campus of Prairie View with his amazing presence? For those of you who were in awe, Christopher Lloyd was indeed in the house last Friday. Dozens of students gathered around the autographing table in the Memorial Student Center to get pictures and other accessories signed by the talented rap mogul. Outside of being part of the rap triage G-unit, Lloyd Banks has more than made a name for himself as a solo artist. His first album, Beg For Mercy, was released in 2003 and is now being followed up by his sophomore LP entitled The Rotten Apple. Right after his meet and greet session, fans immediately rushed over to KPVU to get a last glimpse of the star before he entered the radio station.
In a candid interview, Lloyd was asked to comment on what was supposed to be his initial sophomore album, commonly referred to as The Big Withdraw. “Yes it is true that there were some recordings that were leaked out and mishandled,” said Banks.
According to rumors the album was allegedly stolen and sold to a local radio station for a mere 60,000 dollars.
His new album’s first single The Cake is more than making waves over radio airways and is filled with mad producers like Timbaland, Eminem, and the list goes on.
“His first CD was like my all-time favorite rap CD ever,” said freshman Josh Kidd. ”
He’s the coolest rapper out there on mix-tape which is something that I do. He is definitely my role model,” he added.
All that’s left to say is that the album will more than speak for itself, so make sure you cop that album.
