Is Lloyd Banks done?

hogginthefogg

I just heard "Survivor" and it's pretty terrible. References to Eminem being "his patna" (to which he credits his white fanbse) and owning seven cars despite not having a license yet (isn't he around 24?).Plus, he does the singing hook a la 50, but really, really poorly. Now that I think of it, did he have anything outside of "On Fire" that was really big?

"I'm so Fly" was alright, pretty if straightforward timabaland on that one.

Also, he popped up on an episode of Flavor of Love. Yeesh.

This thread should really be about how G-Units next big rapper is named YOUNG HOT ROD

http://www.younghotrod.com/

I wonder how much they paid a gay porn entrepreneur for that website url.

"YOUNG HOT ROD bring the condoms, i'm in room 203."

The name Young Buc walks a thin line also

not to mention Young Joc ...

Young should not be in the name of any rapper

shit,Young Jeezy sounds like Nambla slang

For a minute, cats were sayin Banks > 50 Cent in terms of lyrics. I never heard the solo lp and dont care to hear it to make an assessment.

As far as what dude had going for him, he could do nonchalant punchlines pretty well ("Banks cooler than the other side of the pillow" etc.) but that was basically his one trick.

The only dude ever affiliated with G-Unit who COULD rap WAS Buck

the thing that bothers me most is these dudes get the best beats and they just waste them

Erick Sermon is oddly appropriate for this thread. (shhh)

50 can rap.

Did lloyd banks ever start?

yeh he is definately done after getting sent to the studio to rework his whole album? not a good sign. The fact that none of his singles are getting any kind of real radio play despite payolla? not a good sign. The fact that 50Cent is moving to Geffen from Interscope? Not a good sign for anyone associated with 50cent.

yall trippin

despite his "mummy" style raps, lloyd's got skill.
off 'hunger for more'...

die one day
playboy
i'm so fly
on fire

are all and there are more tracks that aren't half bad. plus some mixtape shit.
"cake" is a jamm but i agree that the other singles are lackluster

So it seems a platinum album doesn't count for much these days.

C'mon, u cant resort to that excuse. U know the game. If he doesnt even go Gold the next time around what does that say about the talent?

For G-Unit, Spyder Loc is way better.

I'll take this with a grain of salt coming from the person who thinks Dogg Pound and Game are the saviours for west coast rap.

"Fergie Ferg" is guaranteed platinum


some say she is a rapper

No, thats not what I mean. I mean that Erick Sermon probably knows something about YOUNG HOT ROD, if you get what I'm saying.*

Yes. GRODT and Guess Who's Back are classics.

The West Coast is dead

The DPG album is great but hardly a savior

The Game cant rap ....and i've said this repeatedly

batmon

The West Coast is dead

Or just not popular.
