LLOYD BANKS INTERVIEW!!!

I had a great opportunity to ask Lloyd Banks (hip hop artist part of the Gunit group to which 50 Cent belongs) a question that would gain a direct knowledge of how hip hop music influences teens from the actual source himself and inevitably benefit my investigation.

I attended his afterparty on bank holdiday monday in Leicester Square




He was very friendly and did not mind answering the question i posed to him.

"Does hip hop music glamorise gun crime for teenagers?"


Firstly he laughed, presumabely because this is such a contraversal question but then began to talk about how heavily manipulative the media industry can be at imbellishing the truth. As apposed to displaying the possitive affects we (hip hop artists) have on youths we are heavily portrayed as negative influences on children.


There was so much more I wanted to ask, but obviously did not want to irritate him on his night out. I was happy, got what I needed! Here's a pic below of me and the hip hop artist himself!
