Looks like Cam was right after all

lloyd Banks's new single, "Beamer, Benz or Bentley" featuring Juelz Santana is definitely hot. But what I think is the bigger story is the fact that Lb, the "puchline King" is working his song independently. No major label pushing it all according to Banks who was on the the Ed Lover podcast. Lloyd Banks was saying that being independent is great for him. He was saying that independence has made his career more flexible. Remember when Cam and 50 had their beef? The whole thing started because 50 was talking shit about Koch (now EMI?) records and how their independent deal situation was like a "graveyard" for artists. 50 said that once you do things independently your career as an artist was dead. Isn't it funny how times have changed? Now that Banks is off Interscope and has been cut loose from Jimmy Iovine's money pipeline he is championing the virtues of independence. Now would 50 say his career is dead? What would that say about Fif's prospects? Looks like Cam was right after all.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCE


Saw this on a Fb Status Update Post:
June 7th is the day when Prince Rogers Nelson (AKA Prince) was born. Who ever knew that on this day one of the best singer/songwriters/guitarists would be born. As much as I love Prince, it must be noted that his music has fallen off tremendously, not Michael jackson fall off but fall off nonetheless. At the end of the day Prince is up there with Bruce Springsteen when it comes to live show status. I know he is old and a Jehovah's witness but why can't Prince take some steroids and go on one of those marathon tours? He has the cult status that touring bands like Phish and The Dave Mathews Band has and the musical catalogue that a Bruce Springsteen has. Come on Prince stop recording and making people buy your stuff at Target and just play that funky stuff in arenas. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
