In a candid discussion on VladTV, Uncle Murda accused host Vlad of harbouring bias against Lloyd Banks for reportedly favouring Juelz Santana and Fabolous in a debate about who’s the better rapper.
The conversation stemmed from Vlad’s earlier comments where he praised Fabolous’ lyricism over Lloyd Banks, citing Fab’s longer career consistency and more visible presence in the rap scene. Uncle Murda pushed back, defending Banks’ skill and steady flow, while Vlad explained his appreciation for lyricists who surprise with clever wordplay, which he feels Fab excels at more frequently. Vlad also addressed a past cold exchange with Banks, suggesting Lloyd’s silence and a harsh DM hinted at personal dislike. Despite the tension, both agreed Banks is a formidable lyricist and discussed broader rap battles, including comparisons between Jay-Z and Eminem, emphasizing that both artists bring unique strengths. The debate highlights ongoing discussions about legacy, consistency, and respect in hip-hop circles.
Uncle Murda opened up about falsely claiming he was shot in the head, a story that had long circulated in hip-hop circles. During the trial of his friend and collaborator Rod Diggs, who is serving time for murder, Uncle Murda testified as a character witness and addressed the exaggeration in rap narratives. He explained that although he was indeed injured—cut in the head by a piece of glass during a shooting incident in a car—he never suffered a gunshot wound to the head. The dramatic detail was amplified for promotional purposes, a common tactic among rappers to enhance their stories. Uncle Murda highlighted that such exaggerations often lead to misunderstandings, especially when prosecutors attempt to use lyrics as literal evidence in court. His honesty in court aimed to clarify the difference between artistic expression and reality, shedding light on the blurred lines in rap storytelling.
