Bishop Lamont has vehemently denied all reports that he’s no longer signed to Aftermath Records, the label owned by Dr. Dre.
“Last time I checked, I’m still on Aftermath – that’s news to me,” the rapper said in an online video. “This isn’t the first time this has happened.”
The rapper was signed to Dr. Dre in 2005 and has gone on to be one of the promising talents in Hip-Hop.
“N***as are gonna do what they gotta do to get attention,” Lamont said. “Yes, I’m still on Aftermath. I’m the last dude on Aftermath so its an honor and a tribute.”
“I’m already down with 50,” Lamont stated, recognizing the speculation that he may have transitioned to G-Unit Records. “That’s already family.”
The rapper from Carson, CA said that he saw both sides of the gossip.
“I ain’t looking at it like a negative, [but] I just hate when people try to pull out rumors and s**t.” he said.
In related news, Bishop Lamont said that he would no longer comment on the status of Dr. Dre’s highly-anticipated, and long-delayed Detox album.
“You know what, I always get in trouble for saying too much, because all those records were getting leaked,” he admitted. “A lot of those record you already had [and they] got demolished. So, I gotta be quiet, because I don’t want to get in trouble.”
During a recent video chat, Lamont clarified the situation and also called out DJ Vlad who allegedly started the rumor.
“There’s a guy named bitch ass DJ Vlad that started that rumor,” Lamont stated before adding, “I’m still on Aftermath.”
When rumors of the departure hit the Internet, some speculated that the Carson, CA native may end up on 50 Cent’s G-Unit Records. According to Lamont, he’s already putting in work with G-Unit. “I’m already down with 50,” Lamont said.
Bishop Lamont also stated that any beef that he had with The Game is squashed and didn’t rule out a future collaboration.
“There is no beef with Game. One day you may see us on a record togethe

haha here we go again
-
too bad for him, looks like he will never drop a record. o well bishop has started to annoy me lately

yeah he is annoying however he makes good music so it`s all good to me..
and i think he shouldnt beef with Game. Game supports new artists (nipsey, jay rock) so maybe one day Bishop will be able to go on tour with Game. it would be good for him.

How many times this gotta be posted ? There's already been like 4 - 6 threads about this.
-
it was interesting to see how some posters were basically cheering when the so called "news" was posted.
they didn't even bother to think about the source, it's like they were really anticipating "news" about bishop lamont getting dropped, for a long time.
there's a difference between not liking a certain artist and wanting him/her to fail.
the 2nd category are stans.
i don't get it; you're not winning anything when Bishop isn't able to drop an album on aftermath.
-
haha cuz they jus like to
but good shit dre-day, you said everything that needs to be said

IMO one of the main reasons they might hate and always will hate is that (in a way) dre chose bishop over game and if they worship game then it hurts them

yeah, that proves that those people aren't true Game fans.
sure, the Game himself dissed Bishop back in 2006,
but eventually he found out that he was wrong for doing that and he moved on.
now it's time for the stans to move on

haha theyll never move on
and watch they gon say were bishop stans

Busta said out of his own mouth that he left. Raekwon left. We all know there was a lot of politics behind the Game situation. I don't see this "writing on the wall" situation that everyone else does. Anything is possible but if they drop Bishop, they really haven't got any artists anymore.

aww shit he still signed? wack.

@ Enyce and Dre-Day
u cant say that all Game fans hate on bishop 24/7.
i mean.. i support Game, im buying his albums, mixtapes and shit (so u can call me a fan or whatever) and i dont hate on Bishop. i liked his music since day one.
I wish him the best but he got very poor chances to drop an album righ now. Thats why i think it would be good for him to change labels (im not talkin about gunit because 50 is a fuckin leech)
and hook up with Khalil and make some good music.
oh and that beef between game and bishop.. it was fake from the start.. pure publicity stunt.
-
nah but there is alot of hatin goin on this board toward bishop and they are the same ones hatin on spider (cats have been hatin on spider for years)
so thats waz up on you supportin bishop, i mean why not he makes dope muzik.
LIKE SOME HAVE SAID, WHY WOULD YOU WANT SOMEONE TO FAIL?
(AND IT JUS SO HAPPENS THE SAME PERSON THEY WANT TO FAIL IS OR WAS GAMES ENEMY OR WHATEVER THEY WANT TO CALL IT)
as far as him droppin on aftermath, i dont know, i mean it dont look good but for now hes droppin these street albums that are dope for the most part. i mean afterall its not like hes signed to koch, hes signed to the msot wanted label (IMO) of course since dre is the boss over there

I just find it funny for such a dis-liked artist as Bishop he sure does garner alot of attention on this forum. Almost Spider Loc like.
Me personally I really do not want to see ANY west coast artist affiliated with Dre be dropped or get no work released with Dre. Out of all the artists pre and post Game that were signed there, there have been a fair share that got absolutely no shine or release from that label. For every Snoop or Game there is a King Tee, Hittman, etc. It would really mean alot to the coast if Bishop does get a album released on Aftermath.
-
yeah thats what im sayin.
and on the thang bout bishop droppin on aftermath and it meanin alot to this coast
it will mean something but at the same time i think it will also be a "FUCK YOU" to those who didnt drop
im not sayin bishop isnt dope but damn why wouldnt dre want
raekwon
rakim
king t
hittman (aite hes more underground)
now i doubt rakim or anyone that was on the aftermath roster at one time that left without droppin a album will make a diss goin at dre but damn you gotta imagine they might be mad to see bishop actually drop a album vs bein dropped from the label.

yeah, hopefully we'll get more Dre produced bishop tracks, as he has to wait in line for a while

I knew the story in the beginning was bullshit. I was just going to wait and hear a official statement from Bishop himself. VladTV is becoming the TMZ of hip hop. Their aim is not to drop meaningful news on music, it is to post shit that will get them the most hits, whether or not it is true or false and whether it is even worthy news to begin with.
For those newbies that be posting stuff like that on here always remember that. Looks good when you have 10 pages of replies to get everyone riled up but if it is fake, it's fake.

i agree but aftermath is pretty strange label.. dre and iovine are scared to let new rappers drop their albums because they`re not able to sell 500 o 300K in first week like eminem or 50 used to.
Aftermath ( like every other non-independent label ) got only one goal - PROFIT. Unfortunately this policy is killing young rappers careers. (bishop)

Well at one time Em and 50 were new rappers and they were promoted by Interscope. Banks, Buck, Obie, Yayo they all got great promo for their first albums. The market has changed alot since then, but you still have to put the effort in promoting new artists. The days of selling 500k to a mil off the strength of saying Dre is on your album is over. You still have to promote.

nah your right d-nice and im not sayin he should ride off of dre's name

What I meant was to be honest I seen that on Vlad's site before it was posted here. I could have posted it but then I thought who is the source and it is Vlad TV. So alot of times I see new posters it almost seems like they got to find a post like this to kick start they debut on DUBCC. lol. And will co sign a thread with no real truth backing the story.

Me either. I just think Interscope needs to have faith in the product they are putting out and properly push and promote it.

What label do you think he's going to change to where his situation will change that drastically? The industry is in bad shape right now. Bishop leaving Aftermath might seem like a situation where he would be free to go anywhere and do anything but Crooked left Death Row over 5 years ago and hasn't been able to drop an album. Saigon was one of the most-talked about new rappers and still hasn't dropped an album. Busta's post-Aftermath album hasn't come out. Neither has Eve's. Rakim? Raekwon? Truth Hurts? Stat Quo? What happened with Young Buck's Straight Outta Cashville compilation that was supposed to release around 2007? Have any of Game's BWS affiliates put out albums? Eastwood? Tha Realest?
-
bishop lamont has been annoying lately because he's been so inactive and making poor music lately (compared to his mixtape standards). dont get me wrong tho, he one of my favourite rappers though and makes some really good music. love the cockiness and jokes etc... cracks me up eevrytime. but he needs to be on detox, at least on one or two songs - but they need to be top notch. more importantly he needs to drop an album on aftermath.
if he releases the album and is still on aftermath at the time, i assume he will sign a deal with another label for the distribution - similar to how ortiz did with koch records for the brick: bodega chronicles.
either way i wanna see a bishop release. it better be good.
i just think aftermath are concentrating on the 3 headed monster that is dre, em and 50. nothing else right now, hence why d12's albums have been put on hold. what happened to them putting it out ASAP? that was back in 2007 after proof's death.
i wanna hear new d12, new proof, new dre, new em, new 50, new bishop, new stat, new obie, new cashis, new royce...

Seriously. And I don't even know how that started in the first place, I mean Spider has a 5 year history of being hated on. But with Bishop, most people on here liked him when Grow Up came out just a few months ago, but as soon as some people start to dislike him because of this and that, it's out of control. Just concentrate on his music folks.

I knew it was all bullshit, much love to Bishop, he's contantly giving out good music, and keeping his buzz alive through his own means. Most artists in his situation, who know they don't have an album coming in the near future dissapear, Bishop stay grinding...
