Video After The Jump
A lot of people know Lloyd Banks had been shot, but the G-Unit rapper has rarely talked publicly about it.
In an interview with VladTV, Banks recalls the circumstances that led up to the shooting and how it's changed him.
"This was around '50 Cent Is The Future', the first mixtape, this was in South Jamaica Queens," Banks explains. "Just going to the nigh clubs still, you know what I mean? I was younger, still going to the clubs and block parties. Sometimes you surpass people's expectations before your own, but you're out there."
"I can't even call it like a personal thing. It's just something that happens when you're there," he continues. "When you're outside the club and the club let out it's only a few things that can happen. It's gonna be a good night or a bad night. You're either gonna witness it or be a part of it and that night I was a part of it."
Vlad asks where he was shot and how he made it to the hospital.
"In my stomach, my back, grazed a couple times. I had to run to the hospital. It wasn't like the movies where you're like 'Uggh". I had to like 'oh sh*t, i'm f*cked up' and I had to run all the way from Jamaica Avenue to Mary Immaculate Hospital."
Banks is much more aware of his surroundings now and watches the company he keeps.
He was one of the lucky ones. He survived the gunshot and has gone on to have a very successful career. He still feels the affects of the injury sometimes, but nothing the 'Boy Wonder' can't shake off..
