Rapper Lloyd Banks has commented on his recent gold plaque for his hit single "Beamer, Benz or Bentley."Lloyd Banks revealed that the hit single was recorded on a shoestring budget."Climate wise, as far as the economy goes, it's a beautiful thing man," Banks said in a statement. "When you are coming from an independent standpoint, an independent gold record is really a platinum record and a platinum record is a double platinum record. This record was recorded in my home, mixed and mastered out the pocket. G-Unit as a record label worked it, and here we are: 500,000 copies sold a few months later."Lloyd Banks is preparing to release H.F.M. 2., his first full-length album since 2006's Rotten Apple.H.F.M. 2. features guest appearances by G-Unit members 50 Cent and Tony Yayo.Former rival Styles P also checks in, along with Pusha T, Jeremih, Ryan Leslie, and Akon.H.F.M.2 is slated to land in stores November 23rd on 50 Cent's G-Unit imprint.Source:AllHipHopRead more…

Video After The JumpOfficially released from his deal with Warner Brothers, Jay Rock has already found a new label home. The XXL Freshman has decided to go indie, aligning himself with Tech N9ne’s underground powerhouse, Strange Music, for a multi-album deal.
XXL recently traveled to the Strange Music headquarters in Missouri to document the partnership. [Watch below] “Man, I’m excited about this,” the Watts, CA rapper said. “Tech and Strange approached us once I became a free agent and we went to [Kansas City, MO] to see first-hand what we had been missing and saw why they’re the No. 1 independent rap label. The word had spread about me leaving Warner Bros. and I was getting offers left and right from majors wanting to sign me, but in the end, Dude Dawg and I had no doubts that Strange had the perfect situation for us.”
Rock’s Strange Music full-length debut, Follow Me Home, will feature appearances and production by a who’s who of hip-hop’s elite and is due out sometime next spring.
“I was hyped when I got the news that Jay Rock and Top Dawg Entertainment decided to go with Strange instead of any of the other many labels that were tugging at them,” Tech said. “I knew that Jay Rock, being the hardcore artist that he is, would add another wonderful dimension to our Strange roster.”
Rock has been on tour with Tech, and his new SM family (Krizz Kaliko, Kutt Kalhoun, and Big Scoob) since September 15, as part of N9ne’s Independent Grind Tour. He will also appear on Tech’s new DJ Whoo Kid mixtape coming later this fall. —Elan Mancini

Hip-hop performer Wyclef Jean, who recently failed in his bid for the Haitian presidency, has been hospitalized for stress.
A spokesperson for Jean announced on Monday that the rapper, producer and outspoken Haitian activist checked into a hospital in an undisclosed location over the weekend.
He is "suffering from stress and fatigue based on the gruelling eight weeks he's had," said his representative, Marian Salzman.
Jean, who is slated to release a new album in February and launch a corresponding world tour, made headlines this summer when he confirmed rumours that he was running for president of Haiti, where he was born.
However, Jean — whose family moved to New York when he was nine and who is currently based in New Jersey — was ultimately deemed ineligible because he did not meet residency requirements.
Though the former Fugees rapper attempted to appeal the electoral council's disqualification of his bid, he officially withdrew his candidacy last week. Jean, who is one of his country's best-known advocates and champions, reported being targeted with threats during his brief bid.
"This was not an easy conclusion to reach," Jean said at the time, "but it is one that was thoughtfully made, taking into account many, many competing factors."
According to Salzman, Jean plans to "take it easy" and is expected to be released later this week.

Video After The JumpWhat do you get when Young Jack Thriller and Brian Pumper do an interview with TrueStoriesRadio? You get pure, uncut, hilarious porn talk, that's what!
B. Pumper clowns Lethal Lipps for calling him "balloon boy", because he's muscular but not strong.
Young Jack Thriller jumps into the conversation and asks Brian if he will still do porn after he finds God. And says porn star Pinky makes too much noise while giving h*ad on film.
"Don't make noises like that on my d*ck. Suck my d*ck and shut up, you stupid b*tch," Thriller joked.
Pumper addresses allegations from some Coney Island rappers, who claim he stole the beat to "Ratchets" (Juelz Santana Diss) from them.
"They're clowns, me and my man made that beat in six minutes and I had the song done in an hour," he says.
Pumper also says Roxy Reynolds has the best box in the porn biz and he still wants to break Kat Stacks in.
This is a can't miss interview.

Video After The JumpSlime Flu season is almost upon us.
Initially slated to be a free mixtape, Vado's highly anticipated 'Slime Flu' is now being released by E1 Records. You may have to spend a few bucks to get it, but judging from the material Cam'ron's protege has been releasing to the streets, it will be well worth it.
GEOHVISION was on the scene to give us a behind the scene glimpse of Vado and Jae Millz's new 'Respect The Jux' video.
The song is inspired by the Frank Mathews novel of the same name, which is also being made into a feature film.
The 'Slime Flu' mixtape is dropping October 12.

Video After The JumpJay-Z is the king of subliminal disses. Most of the time, rappers and fans have to dissect his lyrics trying to figure out who Hov is going at. But he obviously wasn't too worried about MC Hammer replying back to his diss on Kanye West's "So Appalled" record, because he mentioned him by name.
“I lost 30 mill, so I spent another 30 / ’cause unlike Hammer, 30 mill can’t hurt me.” Jigga spit on the track.
Well, Hammer was listening and he's heated, repyling to Jay on Twitter and on film by releasing a video showing him hitting a punching bag
"Warming up... all substance.. no hype... What's the rhyme that can make you tough??? Yeah.. Ok... thats what I thought.. Slap the taste out them #HellBoys mouths... #IamHammer," is written in the video description.
"Hellboy" is the nickname Hammer has given Jay-Z, possibly referring to rumors that Hov is a satanist.
Hammer became famous and wildly popular in the late 80's and early 90's with songs like "U Can't Touch This."
He made millions, and then lost most of it due to bad investments and lavish spending that included a $12 million dollar crib. So that Jigga line has got him feeling like he's gotta fight back....literally.
This is a strange beef. Check out Hammer, who recently became an MMA promoter, going at his punching bag (Jigga) in the video below.

Frank Mir got the job on Saturday for the Ultimate Fighting Championship's debut in Indianapolis, but that's about the only positive for him.
On a card that produced seven decisions, Mir narrowly avoided being part of the eighth by landing a right knee to floor Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic and record a knockout with 58 seconds left in their main-event bout at UFC 119. The result came after two-and-a-half sluggish rounds.
AS IT HAPPENED: UFC 119 play-by-play
Both men appeared tentative for much of the contest. Filipovic followed his customary habit of circling and waiting for openings to throw punches and kicks from the left, while Mir generally threw punches just long enough to close the distance for takedown attempts.
Referee Herb Dean separated them and restarted the action each round after extended clinchwork standing against the cage. The Indianapolis crowd booed heavily at several points as Mir and Filipovic eyed each other warily or wrestled while standing against the cage.
The end came when Filipovic charged forward in the waning minute to throw a punch combination. Mir grabbed the back of Filipovic's neck for a sloppy Muay Thai clinch, pulled his head down and slammed home the knee. Filipovic fell to the mat stunned and Mir landed two more punches on his unresisting foe before Dean could jump in to halt the bout.
Mir criticized his own performance heavily after the fight.
"I could have pushed the pace a little bit," he said. "I'm not happy at all."
The former champion admitted that he was wary of Filipovic's dangerous left hand and left kick. Mir also found flaws in his own wrestling technique; Filipovic, who is well-known for his takedown defense, shut down all of Mir's attempts to bring the fight to the mat.
Filipovic, taking the bout on just five weeks' notice as a replacement for the injured Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, saw his winning streak snapped at two. Mir rebounded from a loss in March.
Other results Saturday:
• Ryan Bader preserved his perfect record with a unanimous 30-27 decision over fellow light-heavyweight Antonio Rogerio Nogueira in the co-main event. Bader (12-0) occasionally swung away with powerful overhand right when they were standing, but he largely focused on outwrestling Nogueira (19-4). The winner took down his opponent six times in 12 attempts, according to Compustrike.
Bader made no apologies for his strategy.
"I just had to be careful," he said. "I had a lot on the line in this fight."
The win could vault Bader into the top 10 for light heavyweights. Nogueira and Bader are Nos. 6 and 16 in the USA TODAY/SB Nation consensus rankings for light-heavyweights.
• Sean Sherk (33-4-1) put the first blemish on Evan Dunham's professional record with a split decision that drew vocal criticism. Sherk controlled the pace of the first two rounds with takedowns and significant stretches of top control on the mat. Dunham (11-1) threatened with guillotine chokes multiple times, though, and clearly outstruck Sherk on the feet throughout the fight.
Two judges scored the fight 29-28 for Sherk. One saw it by an identical score for Dunham. The crowd heavily booed the decision as it was announced.
Sherk, a UFC ex-champion, regained his relevance by beating Dunham, the consensus No. 10 lightweight. It was the first fight for the oft-injured Sherk since May 2009 and his first win in almost two years .
• Chris "Lights Out" Lytle (30-17-5) avenged his 2006 loss to former champion Matt "The Terror" Serra (11-7) by winning a unanimous 30-27 decision. It was the polar opposite from the tedium of their first fight, as the welterweights came in determined to slug away this time. Lytle, an experienced professional boxer, connected often with hooks and uppercuts as the shorter Serra tried to attack the body.
Lytle praised Serra, a highly decorated jiu-jitsu practitioner and, for brawling with him rather than turning the fight into a grappling contest.
"I can't give the guy enough credit for that," Lytle said. "That was awesome to me. He gave me the fight I wanted."
The result was the fourth consecutive win for Lytle, the consensus No. 23 welterweight. Serra currently has the No. 13 ranking.
• Melvin Guillard won his third bout in a row with a decision over Jeremy Stephens. Guillard (26-8-2, 1 no contest) spent three rounds constantly moving in to deliver one or two punches before slipping away while the slower Stephens (17-6) missed with counterstrikes.
Guillard expressed dissatisfaction with his inability to knock out Stephens.
"I respected his right hand a lot," Guillard said. " I didn't want to get clipped. .... I'm happy with the win but I'm not as happy with the performance, how it ended up, because I'm an exciting fighter."

Video After The JumpAs if Lindsay Lohan's current legal problems weren't enough. The actress is now being criticized for having her 16 year old sister pose in skimpy clothes in promo ads for her 6126 clothing line.
Ali Lohan is seen posing in several cleavage bearing, lacy dresses in the ads.
Lindsay's most likely operating on a small budget, and probably got her sister to pose for free.
A rep for 6126 says: "Lindsay and Ali are very close and it's very natural that they would work together."
Is this a big deal about nothing? Or is Ali too young for these ads in your opinion? Please leave you thoughts and comments below.
