Lloyd Banks Donates To His Old High School

Monday, October 16, 2006
By: John Kennedy


Lloyd BanksLloyd Banks recently returned to his Queens, NY high school to speak to current students and donate to the school's library. Banks was well received by students and administration alike, especially because he arrived at his Jamaica, Queens' August Martin High School with a check for $10,000 to be donated to the school's library.

"I just feel I wanted to start something new," Banks told Fox News. "I'm going to make sure I come back here as long as they accept me every year. Just to let [students] know there's something outside these walls."

Banks may have dropped out from his high school, but he says he took much from his days as a student.

"I loved English," Banks said. "The matter is I wanted to be a writer. You gotta take what you want out of it and it will definitely take put you in a good direction."

Banks has been busy as of late; his album, Rotten Apple, hit stores last Tuesday and in celebration, Lloyd got a full back tattoo with the words "Rotten Apple" printed across his upper back and a Statue of Liberty depiction wielding a gun.

The next single from Lloyd Banks' Rotten Apple is "Help," which features Keri Hilson.

Dam, i did'nt even know his ablum was out, g unit did a poor job of promoting this album, im not a big lloyd banks fan, but it's good that he donated that dough, we all know that it's just a tax write off, so he will get that lil money right back.
Posted by chi infinite
The game's smallest amount his given to date is 200k.....10k should be nothing to rappers who go to 1.5x platinum, his cheapest chain is probably 5 times that, 50 is hordin that money.....

All of you me fans are the ones running ya damn mouth about banks. I find it somewhat amazing that he would donate money to a high school that he did not graduate from. To all you me supporters who like so called gangstas who appeared on change of heart get ready for ya boy to flip flop on nov.14. When his sh*t flop he can go back to his day job at the strip joint and pick up his old name doja.

Posted by jjwalker
Ps: he didn't have to give sh*t. He could've took that lil 10 grand and bought more jewelry or liquor.
Posted by jjwalker
Niggas hatin on banks cause they aint got no money to give away. The money banks gave away was you me fans rent money for 10-12 months. Rotten apple is a fcukin classic.

Posted by southside
I think that it is nice that lloyd banks is willing to help people out. It shows that there is a good side of him and one who cares about other people and not just him. He is also sexy and has a nice body.... One day i hope that i can be his girlfriend or have some communication with him.

What my boy cold
Posted by ms.pearl
U all miss the point. If you knew anything about nyc dept of education you would know that it better to give over time then one big lum sum. At the end of every year the money left over has to go back and where do u think they spend the money they get back not in the hood so he on top of his game!!! trust i know what i'm talking about. Nyc employee
Posted by Wish U where There
He gave more then just money to some of the kids that meet him. He wasn't surround by secuirty where you couldn't get to him. He was very humble and took pic's, gave autograph, he showed much love to everyone. So think what you want but u had to be there. He didn't have to offer to come and then we would be having this conversation at all. What have any of ya'll talkin out the side of your mouth given back. Alot of woulda coulda
Posted by Ms Edu
That's cool. However, if banks is a millionaire like he talks like, why'd he only give his high school 10 thou?? either he didn't like his school or game was right. 50 don't pay his crew much.
