man this cd was dissapointing i mean what happened i thought at first i was the only one waiting on this album then the hype blew larger by the time he had his own time, he brought no creativity what so evern o dope story rhymes no introspective shyt...quite a few dope songs to bump loud though i fely it was a dope G-Unit album not a classic album from a dope lyricist it was like a more credible Fabolous album...he is like a Fabolous that guys wont be too embarassed to buy his album, "Im So Fly", "Warrior","On Fire","Til The End","Die One Day",When The Chips Are Down" Are really Dope I Do Listen to Every Track Except for a few...
-
ehh.. ave cd.. 3.5/5...
-
ya actually i give it a 7 out of 10...it was very average
-
6/10 average.
-
yo u could have jus added ya review to the other post of hunger for mo,lol........buts its aight.
anyways i disagree dawg
aint no click - 4/5, nice hyped beat and yayo brings life to the openin track......outshines banks
playboy......2/5.........yo track 2 always gotta be heat.......this shits wack!.....from beat to flow to lyrics!
warrior - 3.5/5...........banks comes nice, but its doesnt seem like its been all put together right, nice verses but its a joint for a album man, it gotta be heat......its inbetween
on fire- 3.5/5.....banks be trying to hard to make a club joint.........dont come natural
i get high - 3.5/5..............again banks outshone.......damn nigga, u win mixtape artist of the year and so far your album been nuttin but soundin like low budget leftovers
im so fly..........4/5.........finally! homie did a nice nice job, timbo beat gives the joint a nice vibe for banks vioce and banks come clean.......even the hook be dope
work magic.......4/5......nice beat, hyped joint, buck kinda comes stronger than banks but he coems nice to.......one of the best joints on the album........
if you so gangsta........3.5/5........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
warrior 2.......5/5...........yo em banck and 50 come real nice, but nate jus made these niggaz look like side pieces when he dropped at the end.......dayyummm.......nate still doin his thang
karma...........2.5/5.........nigga u like them joints for the bitches
chips are down.....4/5............yo banks 2nd verse is real nice, one of the few joints were its album material.......but games lil verse stole the show..........
till the end..........4/5......nice joint.........homie spits kleen on this shit to but he gotta really put some life into his shit man.....only snoop can come like he dont even try n sound dope cuz he kinda created that shit......he got the vioce to.......banks vioce be to dead so he gotta try a lil harder man.........this joint got no replay value
die one day - ........3/5........yo homie im shocked i got this far on your album
southside story-4/5.........well atlast you dropped a nice lil heater here......
i giv this album
3.25/5
its a real low budget version of 50's album, just nowhere near as good as his......its dissapointing cuz he wins artist of the year, he be killin them mixtapes then he comes wack on beg for mercy......buck stole the show......created his own street buzz off that while banks lost some luv after that album but still niggaz though maybe he savin his best shit for his own album.....then he drops this low bugdet shit.......real borin.......no real heaters.........he lucky he on g-unit n he got potential cuz maybe his next album will be alo sicker.......cuz everyone knows a 2nd album a big ting
plus the album lacks a reason.......all he sayin he rich cuz he killin it with g-unit......
buck bought cashville light
50 kinda bough back some energy to hiphop at the time when shit was gettin a lil dry up.....and he had a nice message on his album and the most important thing, the music was sick......
game was tryna give compton n west shine n he did...........
wat banks do?.......nuttin
peace
-
yo man i agree with a lot of what ur saying..but Lloyd just wasnt ready for this CD, i think his mixtapes were way stronger than his CD's. But i liked his one liners.
-
I mostly agree with your review, 1 thing, work magic was produced by Scram Jones not Scott Storch
-
Agree with nearly everything Lyrical G says, but in the end I wouldn't even give this 3 outta 5. ... picked this and Buck's album up late, both on the same day. Buck gets regular rotation from me, but I can barely listen to Banks... majority of the album is straight up boring, and every time Banks gets someone to guest they show him up. That's no way to debut.
-
hey...banks aint a dude who can do a CD by himself..he's like Jada. He can do the 16's hella well tho.. U need a feature LLoyd Banks does it well.
-
commercial
-
Banks is tight. Maybe a 3.75
-
This shit is wakk.....2/5.....Jus like the homie above stated: Banks is good for a feature or 2...that's it...
-
nah.
ive been listining to this cd for a while now and im over it and its not a classic but there are some real good songs on it and it is WAY better than 50 cent by miles.
i like....
i get high
warrior prt 2
if you so gangsta-poor chourus.
till the end-best song
a few more but i cant remember them.
-
6/10 its average...
-
the mutherfuckin fak
-
6/10 its average...
I disagree 5/10........... :)
-
buck and game's cd's were much better
-
3/5 was outshone by both Buck & Game on his own Cd.....That should just not happen.....production was kinna blah as well
-
wack cd 5/10
-
I hated it, but now I accept it for the album it is. I'll give it a 6.5 outta 10
-
from the amount or replies n shit to this post, u can obviously tell that he made nuff noise before the album dropped even with his weak verses on beg for mercy, cuz nuff cats checked this album out most ended up not diggin it, i dont know anyone apart from one girl who diggin this joint..........but to sum it up in simple terms about this wackish album
banks fucked up
-
buck and game's cd's were much better
word, games album to me is the best off g-unit since 50 debut.....even tho it was joint with aftermath, but it had a great album vibe from top to bottom......sounded clean but raw at the same time, like game was hungry and dre neated the shit out....
and buck shook me, cuz i wasnt expectin nuttin from his album, and then when i heard theres no dre beats and co, i wasnt to hyped but when homie dropped his album, i was like dayum! this nigga came strong as fuck! lets see if he can do it again, with his next joint, but i give him props for droppin a bangin cd in straight outta cashville though
peace
-
This album has terribles hooks. I don't think Banks gotta do a 50 cent album. He needs to spit on dark beats. Same thing for Jada they killin it on the mixtapes but have no solid album whereas Mcs with less skills have (50 and game)
-
i was expecting this to be better than bucks album but i was wrong, on fire got tired very quickly
-
i dont think this album is great but to me its better than 50s new album......ill give it a 7/10...... 8)
-
Album is okay.
-
this album has a few good tracks but it wasn't even as good as bucks
-
i think this album was alot better than buck's....for me that southern flow gets boring real quick...it all sounds the same
-
i think this album was alot better than buck's....for me that southern flow gets boring real quick...it all sounds the same
and you donīt think Banks flow is boring? atleast Buck can switch his flow up and thatīs something that Banks canīt. and Buck actually tries to put some effort into his lyrics unlike Banks who just spits random punchlines that are wack. Buckīs album was a solid 4/5 release while Banks album was a 3/5 release.
-
gunit toy soldier ;D
-
"Work Magic" and "Karma" were the only listenable tracks on that cd only because Buck was on work magic and the remix of Karma with Avant made that song hot. Other than that i only give the album a rating of 5/10. Pretty average G Unit album with 50 all over the album.
-
highly anticipated highly crap
-
this album is really weak
I agree young buck and the game is better than this album
I give at 2/10
