Prior to COTI‘s arrival, Lloyd Banks put rap publications on blast for covering everything happening in an artist’s life more than their actual music.
“Remember this post,” he wrote. “Check the date! Where y’all at now?! ? maybe I should tag all of you MF’s The Course Of The Inevitable! Dropping 2mor!….now watch them post this instead of the project.”
