Is Lloyd Banks done?

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.

    Why would you waste precious time asking this question ?

    Lloyd Banks never began

    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.

    agreed. dude has been sounding asleep at the wheel

  • edpowersedpowers 4,437 Posts

    "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.

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

    why oddly? E wrote that punchline. Lloyd Stanks stole it.

    no.

    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.*

    no.
    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
