DUBCNN: Bishop Lamont Speaks On Rumors About Getting Dropped From Aftermath

[Lil Jay]

Earlier this week Aftermath Entertainment recording artist Bishop Lamont kicked off his "CALTROiT" world tour in Europe with a show in Denmark on Octover 9th alongside Black Milk and Guilty Simpson. The shows will see Bishop cover much of Europe before heading back to the U.S for shows in New York, Detroit and Toronto before the finale show on November 15 in Los Angeles. The full tour dates and venues can be seen below.

Almost as soon as the tour kicked off, rumors started circulating on internet forums about Bishop Lamont being dropped from Aftermath. Dubcnn reached out to Bishop himself to get the facts straight from the horse's mouth and put an end to the senseless rumors.

"I always hear these kind of rumors myself, even when I'm on tour and they start in some n-ggas garage" Bishop laughed. "These cats are not doing anything and they wish the worst for me, but they can't block my blessings. They wish I would get dropped from Aftermath, they wish I didn't have Dre, Focus, Khalil, Pete Rock, Premo and all of them working with me. I'm just happy n-ggas talk about me, cause it will have their b-itches talk about me. And oh yeah, I just got my first track from Quik too! I'm blessed and I'm going nowhere, I'm one of the last artists on Aftermath." Bishop told Dubcnn.

"As far as my album, we're finishing it while working on Detox" Bishop continued. "So it's not just up to Dre, people don't understand it's a whole company that makes decisions. The people at the top don't give a fuck about the music, they give a fuck about the money. And they ask what's more important: to bring out a new artist and spent more money or put out Dr. Dre and make a whole bunch of money!"

[Dogg Ly Dogg]

Damn....

October 11 at Paris, I just missed that real bad, fuck me shit didnt even know he was doin the show yesterday 

[A.K.T.]

Yeah i was in Paris at the show yesterday and before somebody asked Bishop if he was drop from the 'Math he responded: "Well, it is funny" ^^

You guys probably won't believe me but Bishop played a snippet of Detox... and spit a stupid verse on it that was crazy, i hope he won't kicking my ass for saying that! And i don't know if he just did that for Paris. Of course he played "Grow Up" too.
Peaaace

[Mr. VIP]

Nov. 6 Revival; Toronto, Canada - Tronic album release party w/Elzhi

thanks for clearing up the rumors and woah at that

[doubletrouble™]

The haters are gonna be pissed when they hear this 

[es-jay]

glad this has been confirmed as a loada rubbish. lets hope we get to hear The Reformation soon.

[da chronic]

the show in paris was CRAZY !!!
he really played some detox shit...

[wcsoldier]

LOL at playing some Detox .. I'm sure Dre allows him to be in possession of some Detox music 

[Trayvone]

LOL at playing some Detox .. I'm sure Dre allows him to be in possession of some Detox music 

Exactly, Dres been working on Detox for the past 8/9 years and is possibly the most anticpated album of all time and hes just gonna let Bishop take a sample of Detox with him LOL

[Meho]

Good new but I think it's only a matter of time before he gets dropped. Especially since Dre seems to have lost focus again (due to his sons death).

And no way that's a Detox track. Probably a track that was worked on for Detox but didn't make the cut. I'm sure it'll be posted on Youtube eventually.

[YoungCrookedI]

good news..

[A.K.T.]

blablabla..
He really played that stuff..stop the track in the middle and spit the same verse without the beat, he really wanted us to listen to this shit so i don't think he lied.. but you wasn't there so i can't understand how ya feeling
This was big believe me.
