It's sad what has happened with his output. Interscope doesn't want to support artists like Bishop Lamont though. He's not controversial enough.

As much as I'd like to see him come out, I highly doubt it's going to go down.

Rumors have been circulating for a while about Bishop Lamont's departure from Aftermath, now Bishop has finally confirmed the break-up, during an interview with Shade 45ג€™s The All Out Show, that he is no longer apart of Aftermath.

Bishop never really gave a reason for the the two parting ways, but a Aftermath rep didnt hesitate to give details. The rep says the reason for Bishop getting dropped from the label is disloyalty and that he leaked a record without permission from Dre.

Here is the direct quote from the Aftermath rep.

"Unlike Joel Ortiz or Stat Quo, Bishop Lamont was released from Aftermath due to disloyalty and the fact that he is an idiot. It started in early 2008 when he decided to name himself a spokesperson for Detox, Aftermath, & Dr. Dre. Let's start with his Disloyalty.

Bishop's Single "Grow Up" should have never happened period. The song "Grow Up" was originally intended for Marsha from Floetry and stolen by Bishop. Bishop layed vocals to what the public now knows as "Grow Up" and Dre never liked it. Dre never liked the fact that Bishop did a record he intended for Marsha and Dre thought the mix for the record was awful. Will Dre release a record that is just a loop, synthesizer, and vocals?? No, not after releasing classics like No One Can Do it Better, Chronic, DoggyStyle, Slim Shady LP, or Get Rich or Die Trying.

Knowing that this record wasn't approved by Dre, Idiot Bishop went ahead and begged a personal friend & Interscope employee to leak the unapproved "Grow Up" record to DJ's, with full knowledge that this is being done against the will of Dr. Dre. Now that the record is out, Dr. Dre and the Aftermath staff are furious and calling the Interscope offices to have the record Cease & Deceased before the record spreads across the country after Power 106 in LA plays "Grow Up" and threw the record in rotation. The Interscope employee who leaked Grow Up was almost fired after an impromptu meeting was called in the Interscope building about damage control on the "Grow Up" leak. Bishop knew Dr. Dre never liked Grow Up from the beginning and Bishop never made it clear to his friend/Interscope Employee of the risk that was being taken with this record. Bishop dodged the phone call of his friend/ Interscope employee after the employee found out through Human Resources that disciplinary actions will be held against him for insubordination.

With the success of Grow Up & Mixtape: the Confessional, on the internet & the streets, Bishop took his show on the road to NY to promote the project and to weasel DJ Whoo Kidd to get him a meeting with 50 Cent. (Hence why the Bishop Lamont meets Pimpin Curly video came to youtube and why the public associates the Idiot with G-Unit). Bishop also went on Sirius XM Shade 45 on Angela Yee's & Leah Rose's Lip Service show and went on to say how he "doesn't like the Crack A Bottle" record. Live on Eminem's station here is a supposedly Aftermath artist publicly expressing disapproval of the franchise team player's first single off a highly anticipated project for your record company??? Even in the interview you can hear On Air Personality, Angela Yee saying "hey wait that's my boss" in reference to Eminem while Bishop continues to dig his own grave talking reckless about the "Crack A Bottle" single. Dre or Aftermath never approved of Idiot Bishop crusades & campaigns about Detox across the country throughout the years.

Idiot Bishop Lamont has made a lot of enemies out of those who took personal interest to watching him succeed on the West Coast. He totally snaked DJ Warrior who was a big supporter of his career in the beginning. Bishop always has something negative to say about every other West Coast rapper that isn't himself. From his disloyalty to fellow West Coast artist and even his own crew to his "fake" beef with Game to impress Whoo Kidd with the attempt to woo G-Unit (Then when he sees Game at Ozone Awards, Bishop shows love to Game and Game disses his ass on Crisco Kidd's radio show in Houston the next day) Moral of the story is Phillip Martin or Idiot Bishop Lamont ain't built for the success he's trying to achieve.

I leave this by saying Bishop Lamont is the type of person that will leave the G-Unit building to meet Rick Ross around the corner, without saying where he is going and where he is coming from. Disloyal and not to be trusted. Idiot Bishop had so much to say about Joel Ortiz, at one point, but now look who has the last laugh with the success of SlaughterHouse. Even Stat Quo is back "Detoxing" and about to enjoy some success with Sha Money, digitally. The Interscope employee is still on staff and Dr. Dre has been busy grooming Slim tha Mobster to replace the West Coast Idiot. Had the Idiot Bishop played his position, locked himself in the studio with Dre, and not do everything you seen him do on sites like thisis50.com and on Satellite Radio these last few years, he will still be Dre's Best Kept Secret, California's Hidden Treasure & 2nd or 3rd Coming. Loyalty & Honor cannot cure the cancer of a talented natural born idiot."

So after years on the shelf, Bishop was trying to be proactive with his career?

Dre is annoying. Someone should maybe kill him.

Em & Dre are cunts of the highest order and 'Crack A Bottle' is the one of the worst songs in recent memory.

Damn... That's dissapointing. Other than Em, Bishop was the best post Death Row discovery Dre ever made. I wish Bishop luck. The Confessional & Nigger Noize were better than alot of dudes albums.

The new track is cool.

I'd put money on that being a Focus beat that Dre just put the finishing touches on.

Sounds very similar to the track that Focus did with Phonte called "Recession"...

This Halloween track is actually good. Creepy vibe, dope vocal sample and Jigga reference.
Resolved Question
Does Biggie Smalls hate HipHop???

"Shoulda been a cop, Fukc Hiphop"

I've been wondering what he meant by this.
Additional Details
Rap sucks, HipHop is better

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
Naw, he likes hip hop and rap. He was just referring to if he hadn't started rapping he would've been a cop.
So he's cursing it, not that he doesn't like it, just for the sake of it.

Here's his new mixtape

Good to see a Lord Finesse beat.

Some of these tracks are poorly mixed (or not mixed at all).

That Quik joint could have been nice but sound quality is unbearable. Nice Kurupt verse though.
