Lloyd Banks: "Fuck MIT"
Some of you know that I'm a transplanted Wisconsinite going to school in Cambridge, Massachusetts. None of you care. No doubt, this fact is completely meaningless to anyone outside the fam.
That being said, I've had the chance to see a few notable celebrities visit the respective campuses of Harvard & MIT. Some famous actors and actresses like Tim Robbins and Catherine Zeta-Jones came to HU this year, and MIT hosted Steve Ballmer (CEO of Microsoft) and some other nerds whose names I forget. Typically, these invited speakers/entertainers are well accomplished in their fields, and the host school takes great pride in having some renowned names visit the campus.
Which is why I could hardly believe it when I heard "I'm So Fly" Lloyd Banks was coming on April 22nd to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Thats not a typo, Lloyd was really "On Fire" over at MIT last Friday, performing with Fabolous. No homo.
Unfortunately, I couldn't go, but I have read all I need to know about this oh so predictable fiasco in The Tech. Lloyd arrived almost an hour late, bringing with him three underage girls onto the stage. Most surprising of all, the "keys to R. Kelly's Ignition" were not found at the scene.
As if it couldn't get any stranger, the allegedly "visibly high and very drunk" Banks, angered by MIT security, led multiple "fuck MIT" cheers. Gee, who would have ever guessed something would go wrong bringing an individual proudly claiming to be in a "Gorilla Unit" to one of the most respected institutions of higher learning?
MIT. Where incredibly smart people can be so incredibly stupid.
