Story behind DR.Dre and Lloyd Banks beef

lloydbanks.jpg



Have you wondered why you have never seen a picture of Dr Dre & Lloyd Banks together? Why come Dre never produced a track for "Hunger for More"? Or how much Game woulda sold his first album without Dre? Well sit down and let me tell you a tale...


This all started when Banks was at Dre's Encore Studio's in California recording "Poppin Them Thangs" and "G'd Up". Banks was getting ready for his debut album "Hunger for more". Dre had approached Banks with some beats but Banks had declined.

You see, Banks resented Game b/c he didn't earn his spot. Banks was down with 50 since the begining and was the hottest new artist at that time. He was mixtape artist of the year 2 yrs in a row and had a major buzz. During the time banks was putting down work with his lyrics on mixtapes, Game was sitting with Dre not making any noise. It wasnt until 50 signed him as a favor to Dre that he was saved from being dropped.

Banks felt he should have been getting the attention from Dre that Game was. Dre should have been in the studio with banks like he was with 50, instead he was giving his good stuff to Game and Banks didn't want any left over beats.




Dre was now offically not producing for "Hunger for more". To further this Beef, Banks feels he was forced to put Game on a track due to Dre's influence at Interscope and G-unit Records.

Banks sold 500k his first week. If Dre would have gave him that co-sign like he did Game, and it is very possible he could have sold much more. The game went on to sell 5 mil with Dre & 50 on the first album and be the #4 rapper @ Interscope behind Dre, Eminem and 50 Cent.

Banks also felt that he did not have to defend Dre at the vibe awards. He feels that if Game woulda been dropped and never signed to G-Unit he would have Game's spot at Interscope.


Banks does not have good feelings toward Dr. Dre right now, and apparently a diss track has been recorded and will be released with his next album. Jimmy Iovine, 50 Cent and Others are trying to squash this beef before it went public but those attempts failed as we now know about the beef. [the last part is a rumor going around]


So now you know why Banks & Dre never work together and how Game basicly lucked out and took his spot at Interscope, an knowing, is half the battle.

Banks wasn't Dre's artist though, he was just a member of G-Unit. Game was Dr. Dre's artist before even being affiliated to anything with the camp. that's like Eminem was Dre's artist, therefore he got the label's backing to get Dre on the production side, same with 50 Cent. G'd Up & Poppin Them Thangs was probably made exclusively for Curtis, they also could of been scrapped records from GRODT.

50 says a lot of things
While Banks was next to him and Banks nodded his head as he said it:comeon:

That's where the whole Yayo saying "I still couldn't get a Dre beat" thing came from. Everyone else in G-Unit had Dre on their album apart from him

Where did that bullshyt article even come from?
