Im guessing after the G Unit album drops, the solo album from them will be another 50 album....

Hopefully Banks will drop a solo, but Im guessing it wont be for another year or 2.....But you never know, these guys seem to make a new track every day, there's so much G Unit material floating around, It wouldnt take long for them to do an album I bet.

PS...I like the title of this thread Jome, The Lloyd Banks "High Profile Verses".......LOL, thats dope man...

Thats the new shit, it aint dope no more, Its "High Profile"

You gotta Love it!

Banks is dope as a lyricist, however he lacks any identity. The verses are great, but there's now ay I'd want to listen to a whole album of them. I thought both of his mixtapes were boring.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

Check his solo tracks, and mixtapes..
If Obie can do a solo on his own, Banks is 10 times better suited to do it.

One thing I can't say I've heard is a true Lloyd Banks solo song.  That's what I'm waiting to hear, not just some freestyle over an instrumental or a remake.  

And I think that the difference between Obie Trice and Banks is that Obie's got a nicer voice & delivery, and that's why I'd figure he'd be better at a solo album.

Checc out "What Goes Around" with 50. It's more of a Murder INC diss tracc, but it's still hot to def. And of course you gotta listen to "Money In The Bank" and "Mo' Money In The Bank". It's not all freestyles and remixes.

And LoL @ the Fab/Budden comparisons..
The only similarity is that they're all from N.Y. and all hot on mixtapes.
Btw, Fabolous went platinum twice didn't he, with less skill and charisma than Banks.


I love how you block it out. How are they not the same? Lazy flows. Fab & Banks are both very monotone. All 3 of them have raps filled with punchlines. Fab & Banks always have some sort of metaphor or punchline that refers to their being gangsta or their ability to shoot. There is no difference. And, if Banks got more skill and charisma than Fab, then you're listening wrong. Skill is debateable, since they're virtually a mirror of each other. But, charisma, maaaaaaaan. Banks puts me to sleep with his lack of life. At least Fab brings something more than just lyrics on tracks. Poor Jome. You hate Fabolous so much that you don't realize your two favorite rappers have some Fabolous style in them.

No.

Check this out.

Fab's livin' la vida loca
Only nigga in the hood you can come see for either weed or coca
Nark's wanna see me and my team in a chair
They heard about the kid with the high beams in his ear
DEA been lookin' for proof since 9-3
When I came thruogh in the Benz with the roof behind me
Tell them jake's through on bullet proof's and find me
You need extingwishers to go in the booth behind me
Who the fuck wanna beef
My Fendi knits be 3X so you can't see whats tucked underneath
And I might not even drop
Just take my advance and make a small town in Cleveland pop
"Vivrant Thing" on my hip, that will make you "Breathe and Stop"
Rock ya chain in ya shirt, Your roll (Rollie) with the sleeve on top
You niggas know where my heat stay at
I leave niggas MIA and I ain't talkin where the Heat play at


Still walk around wit' the hammer boss
Rope and a cross
Hard times'll make a lil' nigga hate Santa Claus
Your mountains is high, holdin' in Diana Ross
I'm like a 2003 banana Porsche
I don't gotta hide sluts, to get your ties cut
They on my dick, 'cause I make groupies set off a fire truck
My team in the cutt, packin' middle things
I got more foreign shooters than the Sacramento Kings
It's 8 class karats in the border
I poke holes in plastic, to avoid a vaginal disorder
I'm a savage on your daughter
She ain't in the college dorm
Then I guess I'm squirtin' on the cabin that you bought her
I'm a heavy weed smoker, so the average is a quarter
Brown colored from shit, he established in the water
You got Banks on your jersey, you part of my fan base
Just 'cause you pour syrup on shit, don't make it pancakes


What's different?

in style i would say they are similar...in lyrics banks is better but thats because i feel his lyrics are just a bit more clever and (forgive me for saying this) a bit more complex (i dont mean complex like smart i mean complex like more to one line that just a punch line if that makes sense). and i agree...banks is very monotone and i could see how it would bore some people...but thats one of the reasons i like him...same reason i liked shyne...his voice...they both have similar voices and i think they sound great.

i see what you are saying with those 2 songs...but its rare to find a song by fab where he doesnt rap about throwbacks and whatnot...whereas i dont think i've ever heard banks rapping about that type of shit (or atleast not excessively like fab does)...fab is just a bit more materialistic in my opinion.

Yea, he's more materialistic. But, that aside, all they talk about is their gangsta-ness. And, lyrically, both of these verses are the same. There is not much difference. You could change the "Fab's livin' la vida loca" to "Banks' livin' la vida loca" and most wouldn't know the difference.
