Initially Kanye West recruited Lloyd Banks for his "Christian Dior Denim Flow," and so the two MCs collaborated again on the G-Unit rapper`s "Initiation It Up."
After recording two songs together - with a bevy of featured guests like Ryan Leslie, Fabolous, Kid Cudi, Pusha T, John Legend and Swizz Beatz - could the couple soon be onboard for a number that also includes Yeezy foe 50 Cent?
Well, yes, a `Ye/Fif banger will presently see the fall of day, according to Banks.
"We don`t got that book on The Thirst for More 2, we need to counterbalance it out," Banks told MTV News. "But we got more projects coming. 50 got a project, Yayo got a project, there`s plenty of projects and place for it to happen. On my album, we got "Initiation It Up" to set it off.
The Queens lyricist clarified his newfound penchant for collaborating outside the G-Unit family, from the Juelz Santana-helped "Beamer, Benz or Bentley" to his Kanye offerings. Banks said his past collabos were qualified to his circle because of the winner the Shady/Aftermath camp was enjoying at the time. Now, as he looks to make his solo star, he`s realizing that different artists represent artistic options he wants to tap.
"Not anything stays the like and this sort of change _ a lot of mass are look at it like the collaborations are happening all of a sudden," he said. "But it`s because when we initially came out in the industry we had such a huge umbrella that if you required a feature you didn`t get to depend too far. If you needed an R&B feature, Nate Dogg was there. Or Snoop was there if you want a weed record; Buck was down South. We had so often under the umbrella that I didn`t want to wait outside the circle. The collaborations, specifically, the New York ones, are vital, especially if we need to get support in the side that we should be."
What do you reflect of Banks reaching out to MCs further than the G-Unit camp? Is it excellent for hip-hop? Tell us in the comments!
