He is not Afro-Puerto Rican[edit]

Banks is not Afro-Puerto Rican. Afro-Puerto Ricans are black people from Puerto Rico, or people with their black ancestors from the island of Puerto Rico, not children of African-Americans who happen to have kids with a Puerto Rican of any race. The correction has been made.--Noopinonada (talk) 23:22, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Interscope?[edit]

Interscope is now listed in the infobox. ~Adjwilley (talk) 00:13, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Just browsing through and I'm wondering why Interscope isn't listed in his infobox? Just because he isn't signed doesn't mean it should be removed. The infobox guidelines say to list all labels the artist has ever been signed to. Snoop isn't signed to Priority, Death Row, etc. still, but we list them. Much the same way of Dr. Dre not being signed to Death Row anymore, but we still list him. Just wondering if there was any specific reason it was removed or if the basis was "he isn't signed anymore"? --H E L LØ ŦH E R E 16:43, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see that the article reflects the correct information now, request for info is seriously old. Can anyone answer this with authority other than the original edit author that deleted the information in question? And I might luck out if I go and search for the edit and there is the reasoning present in edit summary.

However lets run with the edit it was made in good faith, in hindsight the infobox should of maintained his previous signing as it does now with the assertion of former and the new label as current.

If nothing further move to archive??

The Hunger For More[edit]

The article claims that the album was certified double platinum, but it only has gone platinum according to the RIAA site that the claim links too. Can some one fix this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.154.171.155 (talk) 06:40, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Edit and Background information[edit]

I checked this per the below ref and as stated above the Album "The Hunger for More" (I assume unsigned is referring to since the claim is correct) appears to of only been Certified Platinum NOT Double Platinum. Futhermore and I know it is not reason, however the article addressing this album specifically states and references the safe ref as Platinum.

Also the 4 million copies figure I cannot find a reference for. In this edit existing references 15 and 16 should be deleted as they are no longer relevant.

So with that being said, and excuse me if I have noobed this entire entry.

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please change

The album has since sold over 4 million copies and has been certified double platinum by the RIAA.

to this:

In 2010, a year later, Interscope Records reached out back to try to re-sign Lloyd Banks. Lloyd Banks didn't go for it and put his third album out under G-Unit Records.

re-sign replacing re-sing typo is the only proposed alteration.

Shooting[edit]

Is there any other source that confirms that he really got shot? After searching for a while, i only came to one source from thisis50 which redricts to a youtube video of him saying this himself. I find it hard to believe someone would get shot and have the energy to just walk into a hospital and wake up in bed next day to 9/11. Sounds like something out of a drama show which i find hard to believe. Akmal94 (talk) 04:47, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
