Lloyd Banks is in the perfect spot being super famous doesn’t mean your successful. Being able to do something you love and provide for your family is success to me
He acknowledged the fact that he was Lazy, the moment he got the Lazy Lloyd Tattoo. He has acknowledged it in many interviews, where 50 has said that about him. He doesn't like all the other crap that comes with being an Artist. He just wants to make the Music, and let it speak for itself, but it's always been more to it than that.
50 called him lazy and now he has a new album. sometime tough love is all you need nothing wrong with Motivation. I’m glad 50 said that now I get a new bank’s album that’s a win to me.
It's a publicity stunt, just to get attention on lloyd Banks album, they all kicking back in a studio somewhere, laughing on how gullible you viewers are.
Banks didn’t care about being “that guy. He’s highly respected on the mic, became successful, stayed out the public eye and is content that way. Yayo on the other hand was just okay with being the “Memphis Bleek” of the situation.
I see it from Both Sides..... 50 looking at banks like...you have the image...you have the music...you have the talent... you got the best product but you dont want to sell it...you should do this that and the 3rd to make yourself a bigger brand of an artist. Banks looking at 50 like...I want to sell it my way because I'm not you...compared to your work ethic and personality I'm lazy. But that's not me I want to handle my career my way. I've always said Lloyd Banks could've been bigger than Fabolous if he was more active but.....
Well said. Basically it comes down to how you measure success. 50 may have more money and business acumen, but banks is hands down the most respected rapper out of g-unit, lyrically.
Banks wanted to be a rapper like big daddy Kane, rakim, etc. he never wanted to be a superstar he just loved music. He never wanted to beef with anyone or be a solider just spit from the heart. That’s why everybody think his career a disappointment because they know the talent he possessed
@@repentyasharahla7632 he was a low-key superstar though. When the general population thinks of best rappers of the 80s they think Run DMC and Beastie Boys, not Rakim and Big Daddy Kane.
You said it right. Banks admire the greats and just wanted to do his thing. But i guess he didnt wanna succumb to the politics and bs that come with showbiz. IMO Banks is just a stoop kid that made it. He never wanted fame. He said it THE NEW BREED dvd.
@ Larry butler Banks career wasn’t a failure jus cuz this nigas not on tv Nd all tht extra shit don’t mean nothing fuck all tht fame shit i listen to banks for bars somn that’s actually hard to find nowadays
@@shannonkamal5029 Not anything but what someone needed to man up and do. They all grew up broke and became millionaire and started taking care of their families after 50 became the hottest rapper in the streets and got signed. Not even them doing the work for themselves.
Also made two albums called Hunger for more.. LLyod Banks was always hungry but Banks was going through some shit and 50 didn't know how to consul to him . 50 was raised different and never really had a father figure. Never was animosity. Banks was looking for that friend.. it's relatable in a way... Sorry for the brief comment lol
My homeboy played this album for me & my bro the day it dropped. It was night time & he was driving us to Philly to pay respects to my late cousin. It was a nice breath of fresh air & cool as sh!t hearing this for the first time @ night & on the road. Banks never went anywhere
Masterpiece album. Rivals The original Hunger for More. Best Lloyd. Hungry LLoyd. Some people also thrive off of criticism and being challenged. Dope ass collabs, too. Good Subs, Best punchlines, always clever. If you don't like this album, you're not a Banks fan.
PLK do ya thing man, regardless of whatever he’s still 1 of the top emcee’s in the game to me . & i Love Fif but he has that It’s either you do shit my way or i ain’t fuckin wit you kinda vibe & that’s wak cuz PLK was the actual spitter in G-unit wish they could’ve kept the clique intact but anyway Banks album is official 💯
@@thecoach11 50 isn’t a puppet 😂 he gets in to much drama to be a puppet they don’t like people who won’t hold their tongues for no one . 50 was the face of the group so of course he amassed more money and fame. 50 also was very business oriented early on in his rap career so it’s not a surprise he’s way more wealthy. Once G unit broke up did Banks consistently continue to make music?

@@jayanthony2414 You Me and 50 dont know what he doing behind the Curtains If You don’t/can’t understand that Idk what to say He could be making Millions in Stocks We dont know🤷🏿♂️ How is that irrelevant, What is his Full potential? Who are we to say that
@@jayanthony2414 it’s other way around. A lot people have opinions about people lives until you find out ultimately you don’t have control over their decisions. How’s that for perspective.
One of the main reason gunit ain’t blow up more is cuz 50 was out here starting beef and shit banks just wanted to make music and 50 petty if u ain’t fighting his battles and shit he wasn’t pushing u young buck said this but banks new album is great to me
the thing is he ins't lazy, niggas go with whatever 50 says without checking to see if its true. He made 7 mixtapes from 2010 to 2021 and 16 in total. He has way more songs than anyone else in g-unit including 50 and he always was the best one.
Salute both of them 💞 AT LEAST BANKS REAL ENOUGH TO TAKE CRITICISM & 50 FOR BEING HONEST ABOUT HIS POTENTIAL IN YAYO X BANKS Energy and short comings But ANYONE NOTICED THEM BWOIZ NEVER MENTIONED BUCK 🤣🤣🤣
I feel Lloyd holds back his true potential but never lazy. 50 is a know shit-starter now so that's no new news coming from a grown man like 50 tempting Bussa Buss (Busta Rhymes) another deadly lyricist in the game.
Part of being lazy 50 had to force him to make them women friendly joints which were all bangers. Like fabulous can make them songs and still feed the streets. Banks can write those songs half asleep and still be hits but all he wanna do is sit in his house writing bars.
Banks that GUY man...been that GUY for a very long time!!! I've been starving for a Banks album for a long time and here it is...FINALLY...COTI!! Shit is🔥🔥🔥 too!! Content is always crazy...1 of my favorite tracks so far is Dishonorable Discharge feat. Vado...🔥🔥🔥 I hope Banks keeps coming with this heat!! 50 always been my man but everyone doesn't move the same....which makes each one of us unique. If Banks is a little lazy....so be it...he has crazy talent and he's already been successful....so you NEVER just give up on that...you stay with it!!!
Banks been the Nemesis of the rap game. But 50 wasn't wrong about that hustle. Because even if you got the talent if you dont keep reminding ppl who the F you are as entertainer we as the fans will forget.
Straight Facts n that's da point 50 was trying to make when he said he's lazy..50 said dat about Bank n not yayo cuz he Kno Bank was more of a Artist than Yayo..he expected BaNks to Be way UP there with him or least Close by Him cuz he Kno Bank is Nice
50 was wrong tho cus lloyd been dropping music damn most of the years since 2003 and has a way deeper discography than everyone else in g-unit with 16 mixtapes and 6 albums while 50 only did 5 albums and 10 mixtapes. LLoyd is un-arguably the best in g-unit.
I remember when he came out with that beamer,benz or bentley joint way back hes talented for sure. Maybe him and yayo shoulda been a tag team like mobb deep Capone n Noreaga etc...
I always said that Lloyd banks stuck out more than the other g unit members. He really didn’t need to be in g unit if you ask me. Maybe he wanted out that’s why he turned lazy. But didn’t want hurt fifty feelings .
Its 50 fault they are like that because he enabled their habits... . He did literally everything for them to the point of letting them stay at his crib. Smh
I totally disagree. All the camp members (most especially Yayo and Banks) supported 50 when he decided to beef with every artist in the industry. They were loyal to the soil, and 50 turned on them as soon as he realised there were going to be these giant commercial successes just like he was. Plus if we’re gonna call Banks lazy, then 50 is a self destructor. He had no business getting in an album sale race with Kanye back when Ye was hotter than fish grease. Instead he make that stupid decision and his music career was never the same again, he had no choice but to pivot into other avenues.
Dont get me wrong i am not saying 50 isnt at fault and yes i do believe he was a bit jealous at some point but i still stick with my opinion that he enabled them and if 50 did limit these artist he is stupid because he would have been making alot more money.. tbh i think loydd banks would have done better if he was signed directly under shady aftermath rather than just sighed to Gunit under 50 and yes i did notice 50 wanted those guys to be soldiers forever... especially after he made them record the song that goes " general i salute you" i thought that was cringe but look how game made his way out of that and still got commercial sucesss and sometimes so called "loyalty" is just ignorance...
@@maxpainmedia no the album wasn’t that good. Lyrics had nothing to do with me not liking it. The beats sounded too similar to one another where nothing stood out. People have to understand if the lyrics are terrible it’s gonna stand out for the wrong reasons, same thing with production if the beats are horrible it becomes too noticeable as well for the wrong reasons. If Banks had picked different type of & better beats to rap over it wouldn’t stand as bad as it did. I wasn’t expecting a classic but at the same time I wasn’t expecting to stand out as bad as it did. That’s my honest opinion.
@Modern Man Perspective u must've forgot banks was on that same label but ok lol nice way to loophole emenim out of it btw bein a introvert dont work like that 😂
@Modern Man Perspective dre made beats for buck so how banks don't got the same connection? U be around them niggaz ? 🤔 how u pull dre out ya ass when he had nothin to do with it ? And wat does dre have to do with em bein a introvert? 🤔 and the fact that banks is a heavy boom bap rapper to the point he even said he sound like where he come from he dont have to piggy back off no region should tell u something but continue
I don’t understand how you get mad at someone for calling you lazy when you call yourself lazy in rhymes and tats. If banks would of went as hard with putting out consistent music he would stay relevant he’s too dope not to be
@@Jack75188 naw if you love music you gonna search for the artist and see what they been up too. Alot people don't love music to that level and the people that do fuck with Banks because they know how he gets down. So when they promote it like this it makes it "mainstream" and waters down what's 🔥 We don't want that for Banks. Stay where he at, make hood music with barz, get your money, we support you. Siiiiiiimple
@@jonnyrosado9444 I get what you mean bruh, sometimes I’ll come across a new music artist & I don’t want people to know about him/her.. but the way the business model is set up nowadays is, the more people listen to an album or a single, the more money the artist makes. So, in this case we want the world to listen to Banks’ album so he can make his $$$.
I feel like this album was personal to Banks. He had some shit to get off his chest. Notice how there’s no party or get high tracks straight bars and flow. I personally dig this almost.
Aside from his official studio albums he has multiple solo projects ie. the cold corner series, 5 & better series, Halloween havoc, money in the bank series, v6, FNO, color of money, blue Hefner, and so many others, not to mention he bodied every G-Unit mixtape he ever got on.
THE TRUTH HURTS, 50 CENT WOULD HAVE BEEN A FOOL FOR NOT ADVICING BANKS, HE WAS AWARE BANKS HAS THE ABILITY BUT LAZINESS WAS THE OBSTACLE. 50 LOVES BANKS THAT'S WHY HE COMPLAINED. BANKS SHOULD WISE UP AND STOP BEEFING!!!
Banks in my unbiased opinion has always had a plan he was aware of what he was doing it works for him but it gotta be done his way to get the results he want for himself and THAT take time
I didn’t like how 50 did banks though, you can’t clown your mans like that to the world and say you wish gunit never happened. Banks brought the energy on a lot of tracks and honestly he could’ve been bigger if he went solo.
if he went solo nothing would have changed.. he one of the best rappers ever but thats not enough. He doesn't put himself out there. He has a new album i only found out about it from Joe Budden who called him live on the pod. Where are the interviews and videos?? he's not used to grinding and generating buzz by himself, 50 always did it for him
@@Fatalflawtv i agree with you cause when said a few years ago "Nobody is checking for Banks" its like my g..... YOU DONT PUT OUT WORK. NO MIXTAPES...NO FREESTYLES... YOURE NOT ON SOCIAL MEDIA LIKE THAT... Outta sight outta mind is forreal
@@Chrislittle223 yep but i think when 50 called him lazy he meant that all banks wanna do is rap and he's lazy on the side of things like being active on sm, promotion, interviews, music videos etc, you gotta do everything not just rap alone. i don't 50 meant he's lazy with recording music, just the other stuff.
Banks doesn’t have respect for 50 as a man. Banks had a child and welcomed the role of being a father. This is something 50 cent has no idea of…. It’s deeper than just beef.
Facts or undeniable facts?...this was inevitable. He rarely does interviews and this is his first album in over 10 years. Other than that it's great to see him prove 50 Cent wrong. Sometimes people say something about your character that you may not like so you prove them wrong which in this case. Lloyd Banks proved that he can release his album independently and still deliver quality.
Yo I'm a big fan of Banks, like a really big fan of Banks, I love his shit from the mixtapes before 50 was even signed to shady.. So I'm not coming at this from a perspective of a hater but 50 cent called Banks lazy, remarked how he had "Lazy Lloyd" tattooed on his arms and "wears his lazyiness on his arm" and you just said "this is his first album in over 10 years" ... and then said "it's great to see him prove 50 Cent wrong" ... Bro it's his first album in over a decade... Doesn't that kind of prove 50 Cents point about that?

@@CaneBigMad9 I've always considered Banks work to be top class. The skill has never been in question, he was by far the best lyricist in G-Unit, that was never in doubt. Hell, I even feel that he bodied both Eminem and 50 on Don't Push Me. But like I said, first full length album in over 10 years, kind of proves the point 50 made. Me saying that doesn't mean I don't respect Banks work, just means I feel like 50 had a point.
Lloyd Banks always been a real one, I never thought 50 was all that. His first album Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ was great as well as the first G-Unit album, Beg For Mercy, was dope. But his last projects he’s made over the years were trash
As Lloyd said himself, he don't want nor care about fame and social medias ads/exposure. All he care about is being a respected MC. 50 chasing business and fame, Him and Banks ain't on the same lane. Different goals.
@@kevinsmith5912 Say what ? 50 been chasing business since the first day in GUnit, he went through all kind of businesses that he could strike a deal for. From Merchandise to Water, SMS Headphones to Champagne, Movie scenes to making his own show. And he's still going. But about Lloyd, i think he's comfortable the way he is. Otherwise there's nothing stopping him from getting more money if he wanted.
@@kevinsmith5912 What sound crazy is that you don't realize how old af the 50 quotes is about Banks. And my whole comment and replies are based around that time. He mentioned the whole GUnit members work ethics way before that book existed. They weren't as active as he wanted the group to be and the game beef made it worse for both sides. He's famous and chasing the money bag for sure. I could say the same about any rapper with that logic. But what separate 50 and the others whom just wanna stay in music is businesses and worldwide exposure. He toured everywhere worldwide for money and fame and now a successful business man who don't need the music to get paid.
@@GlitchBomb @Glitch Bomb no wats crazy is u just assumed a new yorker that grew up on g unit didn't kno that shit 😂 and no the same can't be said about any rapper just stop son
Banks is like the Jay Electronica of street Rap. That’s why we love em. We’re always waiting for more dope bars & when we get them we’re not disappointed.
That was a dope scheme and set of bars. More stuff like that would definitely revitalize his career. Maybe that was 50's way of pushing him to become better. Only time will tell.
To be fair though it doesn't matter how good you are. The public gravitates towards people at random. People may just naturally prefer 50 its not like if they did "work harder" the public would treat them any different
50 Wouldnt Had Been Sh** Without Dre Shady Pushing His Sh** Either He Helped Push All GUnits First Solo Albums They All Had Fire First Albums I Think 50 Hated That Cause He Didnt Nothing For Any Of Them After That & They All Was His Artists ???
@@vernonquinnjr.7103 didn't even think of that but thats true 😂 how is 50 gonna keep their contracts on lock then blame them for not working harder?? Lol didn't he talk Lloyd and buck into staying in his own home with like 1 bedroom or some shit. Talk about using people
50 took good care of G-Unit. When Buck fucked up his taxes, 50 paid it for him, 250K out of 50's pocket. When Yayo got out of jail, 50 had $1 million waiting for him. 50 took hit songs that he had prepared for for his second album and instead gave it to Game to create buzz for his debut album. The list goes on... 50 gave them all that initial push that was needed for their first success, it was then on them to push forward and create even more success following the first one.
50 Cent was right about everything he said about G-Unit...(EVERYTHING). There's a lesson to be learned, when Lloyd Banks said he didn't want a Twitter become big and Tupac don't got one I knew something.
@@remarcablemc If you know Lloyd want to let you know he said that shit. He always been that type of dude. It is what it is. Like I said he was right about everybody in that group and Everything he said
Well the book came out 1 years ago but now people are just catching up. But People don't realize 50 also said as far a communication goes Banks is in the same category as his son and we know how he feels about his son
Well what can you tell a person who been around somebody for years , sometimes you have to hurt feelings for people to get through . 50 right go get yours don’t wait for it to come
He might be lazy promoting his music but he was not lazy making music. He put in work on those tracks but it's more to it than that considering that 50 is is the one that made things happen. I'm just glad they still cool and not beefing
I love banks, but truth be told, nothing is owed to anyone. 50 did his part in putting him on. Lloyd is the type that wants things to stay the same, g-unit all day, but grown men have to create their own path. He gave ya yo and banks a million and payed them for many projects. Where is banks video for any record on the song? This is what I mean. He has the ability to put out CRM’s for a 50 million plus watched video that could net him millions, but he just puts the songs on UA-cam to get 300-500k views each. That is literally the definition of lazy, when you have the number 1 record on iTunes. He wants his fans to do all the work, but he doesn’t want to work hard for them!
@@kevinsmith5912 I think it’s you that don’t know what I’m talking about. Video view CRM’s pay a lot more on UA-cam than TuneCore. He should shoot a few professional videos to bring his marketability up. A lot of artist are just lazy, and won’t do anything for themselves, unless the man that put them on is doing it. That’s Lloyd.
@@UA-camBrand u talkin about how much a nigga that don't care to make videos could be gettin from them, that's like trying to get a basketball player that don't care about money to care about how much he could have made if he signed with the Knicks especially when most artist get paid from concerts and streams from mixtapes/albums
It’s deeper than that. The friendship has clearly been hurt by more than just that comment. However, it was that comment that broke the camels back [+]
@@LurnWell after he got shot he gave us get rich or die tryin, banks is lyrically better yeah, but without 50 there’s no banks, banks could’ve been way bigger than he his if he didn’t treat this shit like the 80s let’s be honest, & I ain’t knocking cause I fuck with banks heavy but how long til we hear from banks again, get a video? 50 doesn’t even do music like that anymore & we hear bout him damn near on the daily music, tv, movies w.e, that’s what makes the big difference
@@hasaanwright4957 What does this have to do with what I said?🤔. I guess you are just making convo? Yea, 50 is missing now, but about half of his career was in music from 98 to 2010. Saying he was really just a business man is 100 percent false.
@@hasaanwright4957 I figured that's the only argument you must be trying to make, because I spoke on lyricism🤨. Where did I say strictly? Saying he's more of a business man, than a "true" artist? ...That's a strong statement. I just disagree. He put the years in.
I Love banks he the PLK but That just proved fifty's point u talented Af but u lazy too if he was more active on social media and with rappers he would've been considered top 5 in the game rn no cap
I'm G Unit biggest fan.m when they first dropped I was 17 and a grew up a huge fan.. didn't you get sick of Banks carrying G Unit? Banks would be better off doing a group album with styles P or Griselda.
That's understandable but I prefer lyricists and have always thought Banks was doper than 50 but I can see how how people might like a more mainstream sound 👍🏾
@@harlonmeeks "I must have broken a mirror at 6 and had bad luck for 7. Because daddy slid and mommy died before i turned 11." Banks rapping about cars and bars, and guns he didn't have to shoot; really don't compare.
Lyrically none of 50 albums compare to Banks. People just run wit 50 because of the whole "I got shot 9 times"thing and the fact he more mainstream. Banks coulda fit in during the early-mid 90s wit the greats. Yea fif was around in the 90s too but the first time I heard him was on Onyx's "React" in 98.

I agree wise men know what bring them happiness & then there are those willing to pursue living other dreams believing that's what happiness is.

He acknowledged the fact that he was Lazy, the moment he got the Lazy Lloyd Tattoo. He has acknowledged it in many interviews, where 50 has said that about him.

LLyod Banks was always hungry but Banks was going through some shit and 50 didn't know how to consul to him . 50 was raised different and never really had a father figure. Never was animosity. Banks was looking for that friend.. it's relatable in a way... Sorry for the brief comment lol

Lloyd Banks was a beast since he came in and is still beasting.
Banks album rite now is hot they could never be 50cent they are who they are.
Seems to be the problem in all rap groups or clicks
Facts
people forget how dope banks was back in the day. banks, fabulous, and Cassidy were the freestyle mixtape kings. takes me back to high school days.
Fab still a goat tho. He still dropping fire
Hell yeah i remember those days
punchline kings too. find bars on each of their tapes
Yeah Fab can really spit bars to for real 🔥
G unit was the real justice league sad to see this happen
My homeboy played this album for me & my bro the day it dropped. It was night time & he was driving us to Philly to pay respects to my late cousin. It was a nice breath of fresh air & cool as sh!t hearing this for the first time @ night & on the road. Banks never went anywhere
If Lloyd Banks don’t drop at least three music videos from this project he’s proving 50 right
It's his first album in 11 years, his already proved 50 right
@@beau9956 he has dropped a few full length mixtapes within that time frame he just doesn’t do visuals
💯 percent facts.
yes banks gotta have some visuals for this masterpiece
@@beau9956 the mixtapes are fire. Hes been dropping.
One thing you know banks isn’t saying it all.And secondly!you know banks still on fire classic album.Solid pen game.💯🤙🏽
Masterpiece album. Rivals The original Hunger for More. Best Lloyd. Hungry LLoyd. Some people also thrive off of criticism and being challenged. Dope ass collabs, too. Good Subs, Best punchlines, always clever. If you don't like this album, you're not a Banks fan.
1 out of 10?
COTI and Apple are much better than Hunger imo
I agree very dope album. you can see his growth as a person.

Banks didn’t wanna sell his soul that’s the main thing

@@thecoach11 50 isn’t a puppet 😂 he gets in to much drama to be a puppet they don’t like people who won’t hold their tongues for no one . 50 was the face of the group so of course he amassed more money and fame. 50 also was very business oriented early on in his rap career so it’s not a surprise he’s way more wealthy.

someone already wrote this past decade of projects.. plus the single music that he dropped one in a while.. you just not a fan to the core so it's normal that you asked that question and the people who really like banks and follow him don't need to have music every 3 months when he has so many mixtapes and loose records
he has a clothing store, he's ative with the fans
i don't know man, that really doesnt' sound like someone lazy but maybe he isn't the type of guy for you to listen

Lloyd Banks is going to do whatever he wants to do and we love him for it. He don’t have to pay attention to 50 or the people in these comments.
You sound emotionally very immature you need to be open to different perspectives
@@jayanthony2414 it’s other way around. A lot people have opinions about people lives until you find out ultimately you don’t have control over their decisions. How’s that for perspective.
One of the main reason gunit ain’t blow up more is cuz 50 was out here starting beef and shit banks just wanted to make music and 50 petty if u ain’t fighting his battles and shit he wasn’t pushing u young buck said this but banks new album is great to me
Banks may be lazy but he is still clever and knows how to make comebacks without too much promotion
the thing is he ins't lazy, niggas go with whatever 50 says without checking to see if its true. He made 7 mixtapes from 2010 to 2021 and 16 in total. He has way more songs than anyone else in g-unit including 50 and he always was the best one.
This was recommended. I don't listen to rap, but I'm more than happy to see people make it in life. Congrats....
Are there any examples of things like this happening in any of the genres you listen to?

I feel Lloyd holds back his true potential but never lazy. 50 is a know shit-starter now so that's no new news coming from a grown man like 50 tempting Bussa Buss (Busta Rhymes) another deadly lyricist in the game.
Part of being lazy 50 had to force him to make them women friendly joints which were all bangers. Like fabulous can make them songs and still feed the streets. Banks can write those songs half asleep and still be hits but all he wanna do is sit in his house writing bars.
Banks that GUY man...been that GUY for a very long time!!! I've been starving for a Banks album for a long time and here it is...FINALLY...COTI!! Shit is🔥🔥🔥 too!! Content is always crazy...1 of my favorite tracks so far is Dishonorable Discharge feat. Vado...🔥🔥🔥 I hope Banks keeps coming with this heat!! 50 always been my man but everyone doesn't move the same....which makes each one of us unique. If Banks is a little lazy....so be it...he has crazy talent and he's already been successful....so you NEVER just give up on that...you stay with it!!!
Banks been the Nemesis of the rap game. But 50 wasn't wrong about that hustle. Because even if you got the talent if you dont keep reminding ppl who the F you are as entertainer we as the fans will forget.
Straight Facts n that's da point 50 was trying to make when he said he's lazy..50 said dat about Bank n not yayo cuz he Kno Bank was more of a Artist than Yayo..he expected BaNks to Be way UP there with him or least Close by Him cuz he Kno Bank is Nice
Big facts
There’s a whole new generation of hip hop fans out here. These Gen Z kids probably don’t even know who Lloyd Banks is.
50 was wrong tho cus lloyd been dropping music damn most of the years since 2003 and has a way deeper discography than everyone else in g-unit with 16 mixtapes and 6 albums while 50 only did 5 albums and 10 mixtapes. LLoyd is un-arguably the best in g-unit.
I remember when he came out with that beamer,benz or bentley joint way back hes talented for sure. Maybe him and yayo shoulda been a tag team like mobb deep Capone n Noreaga etc...
I always said that Lloyd banks stuck out more than the other g unit members. He really didn’t need to be in g unit if you ask me. Maybe he wanted out that’s why he turned lazy. But didn’t want hurt fifty feelings .
Its 50 fault they are like that because he enabled their habits... . He did literally everything for them to the point of letting them stay at his crib. Smh
Foh Banks a grown ass man
Lettin ur artist stay at ur crib isn't unheard of tho lol
I totally disagree. All the camp members (most especially Yayo and Banks) supported 50 when he decided to beef with every artist in the industry. They were loyal to the soil, and 50 turned on them as soon as he realised there were going to be these giant commercial successes just like he was. Plus if we’re gonna call Banks lazy, then 50 is a self destructor. He had no business getting in an album sale race with Kanye back when Ye was hotter than fish grease. Instead he make that stupid decision and his music career was never the same again, he had no choice but to pivot into other avenues.
Dont get me wrong i am not saying 50 isnt at fault and yes i do believe he was a bit jealous at some point but i still stick with my opinion that he enabled them and if 50 did limit these artist he is stupid because he would have been making alot more money.. tbh i think loydd banks would have done better if he was signed directly under shady aftermath rather than just sighed to Gunit under 50 and yes i did notice 50 wanted those guys to be soldiers forever... especially after he made them record the song that goes " general i salute you" i thought that was cringe but look how game made his way out of that and still got commercial sucesss and sometimes so called "loyalty" is just ignorance...
@@kevinsmith5912 facts. That immediately had me think of when Pac let Biggie sleep on his couch when he was in California.

Lloyd Banks one of the most underrated ever!
It's COURSE of the inevitable, not CURSE of the inevitable. Y'all be sounding corny
Regardless of what you call it it wasn’t that good.
Curse sounds better
@@comoamosto5224 album is fire .. you just don’t understand the lyrics
@@maxpainmedia no the album wasn’t that good. Lyrics had nothing to do with me not liking it. The beats sounded too similar to one another where nothing stood out. People have to understand if the lyrics are terrible it’s gonna stand out for the wrong reasons, same thing with production if the beats are horrible it becomes too noticeable as well for the wrong reasons. If Banks had picked different type of & better beats to rap over it wouldn’t stand as bad as it did. I wasn’t expecting a classic but at the same time I wasn’t expecting to stand out as bad as it did. That’s my honest opinion.
Banks album was a lyrical masterpiece from start to finish. I’m assuming Banks didn’t want to be part of the “Go Along Get Along” gang.
50 is right.... Lloyd is underrated AF. Lloyd should of been what 50 was to Eminem....
Banks is an introvert, basically the worst quality someone who raps for a living can have.
Like Eminem?
And Andre 3000
@Modern Man Perspective u must've forgot banks was on that same label but ok lol nice way to loophole emenim out of it btw bein a introvert dont work like that 😂
@Modern Man Perspective dre made beats for buck so how banks don't got the same connection? U be around them niggaz ? 🤔 how u pull dre out ya ass when he had nothin to do with it ? And wat does dre have to do with em bein a introvert? 🤔 and the fact that banks is a heavy boom bap rapper to the point he even said he sound like where he come from he dont have to piggy back off no region should tell u something but continue
@Modern Man Perspective and I said em is a introvert smh u obviously don't kno wat u talkin about
The new album 🔥🔥 lloyd set the bar up there!! Should be a good summer for hiphop
I don’t understand how you get mad at someone for calling you lazy when you call yourself lazy in rhymes and tats. If banks would of went as hard with putting out consistent music he would stay relevant he’s too dope not to be
The difference is that Banks is an Artist & a Poet
Whereas 50 cent is a Business Man & a Mogul
That album is 🔥
Do YO Thang Bankz!!! All The Best ✊🏾
Wow these media platforms are really blowing this out if proportion.
They love to shit on 50
Right smh
Great now everyone bout to know about this album🙄
Hes underrated man he deserves the exposure everyone needs to hear his new shit its BONKERS!!!
Here we go again. Just let people know about this album, don't be selfish.
@@Jack75188 naw if you love music you gonna search for the artist and see what they been up too.

@@jonnyrosado9444 I get what you mean bruh, sometimes I’ll come across a new music artist & I don’t want people to know about him/her.. but the way the business model is set up nowadays is, the more people listen to an album or a single, the more money the artist makes.

I can agree with you bro
Not fun at all stupid
It’s gonna be a wonderful thing when our people stop fighting and competing with one another, inside and outside the industry...
Facts, well said!
I feel like this album was personal to Banks. He had some shit to get off his chest. Notice how there’s no party or get high tracks straight bars and flow. I personally dig this almost.
Instead of calling Banks lazy why can't 50 cent support Banks he hasn't said shit to 50 or Anybody.💯💯💯
50 cent should mind his business
“The curse of the inevitable” LOL not even a min in my dude
Aside from his official studio albums he has multiple solo projects ie. the cold corner series, 5 & better series, Halloween havoc, money in the bank series, v6, FNO, color of money, blue Hefner, and so many others, not to mention he bodied every G-Unit mixtape he ever got on.
THE TRUTH HURTS, 50 CENT WOULD HAVE BEEN A FOOL FOR NOT ADVICING BANKS, HE WAS AWARE BANKS HAS THE ABILITY BUT LAZINESS WAS THE OBSTACLE. 50 LOVES BANKS THAT'S WHY HE COMPLAINED. BANKS SHOULD WISE UP AND STOP BEEFING!!!
Banks in my unbiased opinion has always had a plan he was aware of what he was doing it works for him but it gotta be done his way to get the results he want for himself and THAT take time
Well said
I didn’t like how 50 did banks though, you can’t clown your mans like that to the world and say you wish gunit never happened. Banks brought the energy on a lot of tracks and honestly he could’ve been bigger if he went solo.
He could have not gone bigger solo because he was lazy
if he went solo nothing would have changed.. he one of the best rappers ever but thats not enough. He doesn't put himself out there. He has a new album i only found out about it from Joe Budden who called him live on the pod. Where are the interviews and videos?? he's not used to grinding and generating buzz by himself, 50 always did it for him
@@Fatalflawtv i agree with you cause when said a few years ago "Nobody is checking for Banks" its like my g.....
YOU DONT PUT OUT WORK. NO MIXTAPES...NO FREESTYLES... YOURE NOT ON SOCIAL MEDIA LIKE THAT...
Outta sight outta mind is forreal
@@Chrislittle223 yep but i think when 50 called him lazy he meant that all banks wanna do is rap and he's lazy on the side of things like being active on sm, promotion, interviews, music videos etc, you gotta do everything not just rap alone. i don't 50 meant he's lazy with recording music, just the other stuff.
@@Fatalflawtv exactly like 50 told stories on funk flex on how he had to get banks to do certain things
Banks doesn’t have respect for 50 as a man. Banks had a child and welcomed the role of being a father. This is something 50 cent has no idea of….
It’s deeper than just beef.
Facts or undeniable facts?...this was inevitable. He rarely does interviews and this is his first album in over 10 years. Other than that it's great to see him prove 50 Cent wrong. Sometimes people say something about your character that you may not like so you prove them wrong which in this case. Lloyd Banks proved that he can release his album independently and still deliver quality.

Yo I'm a big fan of Banks, like a really big fan of Banks, I love his shit from the mixtapes before 50 was even signed to shady.. So I'm not coming at this from a perspective of a hater but 50 cent called Banks lazy, remarked how he had "Lazy Lloyd" tattooed on his arms and "wears his lazyiness on his arm" and you just said "this is his first album in over 10 years" ... and then said "it's great to see him prove 50 Cent wrong" ...

Hell, I even feel that he bodied both Eminem and 50 on Don't Push Me. But like I said, first full length album in over 10 years, kind of proves the point 50 made. Me saying that doesn't mean I don't respect Banks work, just means I feel like 50 had a point.
Banks is a classic. Amazing LP
Lloyd Banks always been a real one, I never thought 50 was all that. His first album Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ was great as well as the first G-Unit album, Beg For Mercy, was dope. But his last projects he’s made over the years were trash
As Lloyd said himself, he don't want nor care about fame and social medias ads/exposure. All he care about is being a respected MC.
50 chasing business and fame, Him and Banks ain't on the same lane. Different goals.
I wouldn't say 50 is chasing business and fame lol but since when was gettin the bag a bad thing especially doin 50 numbers
@@kevinsmith5912 Say what ? 50 been chasing business since the first day in GUnit, he went through all kind of businesses that he could strike a deal for. From Merchandise to Water, SMS Headphones to Champagne, Movie scenes to making his own show. And he's still going.
But about Lloyd, i think he's comfortable the way he is. Otherwise there's nothing stopping him from getting more money if he wanted.
@@GlitchBomb he chasing the money 💰 sayin he chasing business and fame sound crazy bcuz he's already famous
@@kevinsmith5912 What sound crazy is that you don't realize how old af the 50 quotes is about Banks. And my whole comment and replies are based around that time. He mentioned the whole GUnit members work ethics way before that book existed. They weren't as active as he wanted the group to be and the game beef made it worse for both sides.
He's famous and chasing the money bag for sure. I could say the same about any rapper with that logic. But what separate 50 and the others whom just wanna stay in music is businesses and worldwide exposure. He toured everywhere worldwide for money and fame and now a successful business man who don't need the music to get paid.
@@GlitchBomb @Glitch Bomb no wats crazy is u just assumed a new yorker that grew up on g unit didn't kno that shit 😂 and no the same can't be said about any rapper just stop son
Banks is like the Jay Electronica of street Rap. That’s why we love em. We’re always waiting for more dope bars & when we get them we’re not disappointed.
That was a dope scheme and set of bars. More stuff like that would definitely revitalize his career. Maybe that was 50's way of pushing him to become better. Only time will tell.
Say what you want about 50 but everyone in G Unit was way more successful with him than without him.
To be fair though it doesn't matter how good you are. The public gravitates towards people at random. People may just naturally prefer 50 its not like if they did "work harder" the public would treat them any different
50 Wouldnt Had Been Sh** Without Dre Shady Pushing His Sh** Either He Helped Push All GUnits First Solo Albums They All Had Fire First Albums I Think 50 Hated That Cause He Didnt Nothing For Any Of Them After That & They All Was His Artists ???
@@vernonquinnjr.7103 didn't even think of that but thats true 😂 how is 50 gonna keep their contracts on lock then blame them for not working harder?? Lol didn't he talk Lloyd and buck into staying in his own home with like 1 bedroom or some shit. Talk about using people
50 took good care of G-Unit. When Buck fucked up his taxes, 50 paid it for him, 250K out of 50's pocket. When Yayo got out of jail, 50 had $1 million waiting for him. 50 took hit songs that he had prepared for for his second album and instead gave it to Game to create buzz for his debut album. The list goes on... 50 gave them all that initial push that was needed for their first success, it was then on them to push forward and create even more success following the first one.

Looks like you got homework
5 years aint way back tadpole
He might be lazy promoting his music but he was not lazy making music. He put in work on those tracks but it's more to it than that considering that 50 is is the one that made things happen. I'm just glad they still cool and not beefing
“Fifty isn’t lying 🤥 “ Is Not
best comeback in the past few years. album straight fire
I love banks, but truth be told, nothing is owed to anyone. 50 did his part in putting him on. Lloyd is the type that wants things to stay the same, g-unit all day, but grown men have to create their own path. He gave ya yo and banks a million and payed them for many projects. Where is banks video for any record on the song? This is what I mean. He has the ability to put out CRM’s for a 50 million plus watched video that could net him millions, but he just puts the songs on UA-cam to get 300-500k views each. That is literally the definition of lazy, when you have the number 1 record on iTunes. He wants his fans to do all the work, but he doesn’t want to work hard for them!
Yea u dont kno wat u chattin about 😂 banks was never big on videos and u mentioned yayo 😬
@@kevinsmith5912 I think it’s you that don’t know what I’m talking about. Video view CRM’s pay a lot more on UA-cam than TuneCore. He should shoot a few professional videos to bring his marketability up. A lot of artist are just lazy, and won’t do anything for themselves, unless the man that put them on is doing it. That’s Lloyd.
@@UA-camBrand u talkin about how much a nigga that don't care to make videos could be gettin from them, that's like trying to get a basketball player that don't care about money to care about how much he could have made if he signed with the Knicks especially when most artist get paid from concerts and streams from mixtapes/albums
Banks new album is fucking GOLD
50 should have kept that between them two. Banks has always been dope.
Thats the point no one gets

Get Rich, Massacre and Power of The Dollar.
H.F.M 2 was way better and more varied. Pretty much all of 50s albums and mixtapes top this
That's understandable but I prefer lyricists and have always thought Banks was doper than 50 but I can see how how people might like a more mainstream sound 👍🏾

Banks rapping about cars and bars, and guns he didn't have to shoot; really don't compare.
Lyrically none of 50 albums compare to Banks. People just run wit 50 because of the whole "I got shot 9 times"thing and the fact he more mainstream. Banks coulda fit in during the early-mid 90s wit the greats. Yea fif was around in the 90s too but the first time I heard him was on Onyx's "React" in 98.
Lloyd Banks albums is 🔥🔥🔥
