As one of the original members of G-Unit, Lloyd Banks has been there for all the controversy. G-Unit has been involved in several feuds over the years. However, in recent years, G-Unit has been making peace with several rivals. Lloyd Banks has also expressed interest in working with a number of rivals.

Lloyd Banks recently stated he wanted to work with Nas. For nearly ten years, Nas and 50 Cent have been at odds. Nas was initially good friends with 50 Cent. But, when 50 Cent was in the hospital, following his gunshot wounds, Nas took his spot on a song with Jennifer Lopez.

Since his Get Rich or Die Tryin' debut, 50 Cent has made his issues with Nas public. Game was a prominent member of G-Unit before his beef with the label. After he left G-Unit, Game worked with a number of the G-Unit rivals, including Nas. While Lloyd Banks said he is willing to work with Nas, he said fans should not anticipate a collaboration with Game.

Along the way, she also did work with Nas. With all of that experience, many consider Lopez to be a good judge of hip hop.

Lil Wayne is preparing to release Tha Carter IV this year and there is a lot of discussion about his place in history. Jennifer Lopez recently helped out his cause. She said she feels Lil Wayne might be the best rapper in the game, as it currently stands. This is coming from someone who has worked with many of the top rappers in the game, so it might make people think twice about Weezy F. Baby.
