Title: Whats the script with Bishop Lamont?

Now, I know a lot of you bash the Bishop but I happened to think he had mad potential. Dude was a three dimensional rapper that had his own style and talked about more than bitches, blunts and 64s plus he had a great ear for beats.

I don't stay up on game as much as I should but theres only so much one can gaze at a stagnant pool, hoping for something else than mosquitoes.

What happened with the man? I heard a few dope mixtapes, seen he was on Aftermath and then like that - he was gone.

Whats the script? What happened to the cat, why did his career get put on pause, what's he upto now? Still rapping? I haven't heard anything off him since Grow Up so what I have missed?


Cheers

Details please, if you can - All I know is that he was signed to Aftermath and being toted as the next big thing, which Dre has done plenty of times but then he just vanished.

I'd totally forgotten the dude even existed till that other thread so I thought I'd post up and ask. Is he still recording/signed elsewhere?

leaked the "Grow Up" song against Interscope and Dre's orders, slammed Eminem's "Crack A Bottle" when it dropped, dissed Snoop & Game when they still had a good deal of power, the fight with Scipio, etc.

at least Xzibit looked out and threw him on his last album

Wow, that explains the silent treatment.

Has he dropped any music since Grow Up?

I think he dropped a mixtape since then but if he did I didn't peep it

don't think I've really cared for anything dude dropped since Nigger Noize and The Confessional

he said in 2010 that he left, since he was tired of waiting for a release of his album. he released 3 mixtapes since then. shawshank redemption, the layover & the preformation.

Excellent, thank you very much for that.

BTW - Anyone got a link for the untagged Pope Mobile? It's supposed to be on itunes but I don't use that. Thanks

Yeah dude was humble for the longest. But when he decided to try to take matters into his own hand he made 1 bad move after another. Dissing Snoop was just crazy.

He dropped a freestyle on sway in the morning a few weeks ago which was nice.

LMFAO. What a shame this guy was amazing now he's "The Great White Buffalo(the one that got away)"... I think him and G-Malone got a bit gassed up by their internet stans and started dissing WESTCOAST ROYALTY and got themselves BLACK BALLED quickfast...

Yeah I recall Bishop, Glasses Malone and Crooked I were planning on doing a mixtape together called 'No Country For Old Men' calling out some vets who had thrown some subliminals at them (Snoop and Ice Cube mainly, I think).  It would have been cool to hear that.

By the way, who was Bishop dissing on 'Missile Testing (Death to Infidels)? Sounds like a shot at Snoop and possibly someone else (especially the second verse).

they made their point at the time, not sure if such a release would have been a good move.
anyway, i think Dae One confirmed that Missile Testing was a diss to Snoop Dogg and Game.

by the way i noticed that some of bishop's music was removed from itunes, including his single Sodom & Gomorrah
