Banks tells XXL that after the failure of his sophomore album Rotten Apple combined with loss of his father and health problems with mother, he considered hanging up the mic at one point.
“I was completely ready to say fuck it. 50’s whole thing was just, ‘Push on, push on.’ But he didn’t grow up with his mother and his father. Seeing my life pass before my eyes, it was like, no matter how much shit you have or how good you’re doing, you’re going to go through this and be devastated.”
Read the entire Lloyd Banks feature in the November 2010 issue of XXL, featuring 50 Cent and Soulja Boy on the cover, on stands nationwide now.
