Lloyd Banks chats to I Like Music

ILM: 2004's two million selling debut album 'The Hunger For More' debuted at number one in the US album charts. How did you celebrate?

BANKS: Oh man, I didn't celebrate to be honest with you. The night it came out, I was staying right across the street from a 24 hour Tower Records, so midnight came and I went straight over to the record store to purchase the album. I didn't know what to expect to be honest, but there was a long line man, black people, white people, Spanish people, Chinese people, just no way I would have thought all those different people would be going to buy my CD, and sure enough they all walked out with my CD. So I kind of had a good vibe about it. But the next morning I left LA to go overseas, so I didn't actually get a chance to celebrate, and by the time I came back home it was September, and I had already sold close to half a million records in the first week.

ILM: Must've been a good feeling though, right?
