After giving the Llyod Banks album due time to soak, I must say this is a SOLID 4/5 album, and the second best east coast release this year ( behind Ghost and above Busta ). Rotten Apple, Survival, Cake, Help, You Know The Deal(Jesus at the beat!), Get Clapped all getting constant rotation. Good production on here, and Banks stepped up his lyrical, flow and his voice on this. Hate if you want, but this is the best G-Unit release since SOC, maybe better.
Haters of G-Unit are gonna hate on this regardless, but I suggest to all throwing this album in with an open mind, and you won't be dissapointed.

I completley agree.
I like it better than Hunger For More, which was more commercial and tryed to appeal to the mainstream. Other than Hands Up, the whole cd has that grimey, NY sound to it. I cant think of even one track that sucked.
The only minus is Banks delivery. He was more "loud" on Hunger For More.
My rate: 4/5

too busy listening to the new jim jones, maybe in a month or two

Wow, I totally disagree. I ain't no Gunit hater, i've pretty muched liked every release besides, Yayo's & Mobb Deeps LP's. Hunger 4 More was dope man. This shit is weak. Banks lyrics I think toke a few steps down on this 1. His flow ain't much better (if better at all). Very weak. I can bump bout 5-8 tracks tops on this. And most of the 1s I do, is good beat, and good hook, average @ best verses (Iceman is a perfect example of that). You Know The Deal is another.
-
I know the majority won't really like Rotten Apple, but I'm not into G-Unit at all and I'm really feeling the atmosphere of this record, except for a few songs here and there, but it's better than pretty much anything else that came outta NY this year ( I havent listened to AZ yet though ).
-
I gave the album a fair chance but I just didnt like it at all. I really liked "Survivor" and "Gilmores" but imo nothing besides that really stoodout.
-
I really don't like it still. Listened to it several times now, it ain't growing on me, so it'll probably be leaving my HD soon.
This definitely shouldn't be topping anyone's "best of" list in any category of hip-hop, East Coast or not. It's really just that good an album. It ain't awful, and it's definitely got some bangers, but it really just doesn't make any impression in my mind.
-
So do they have songs on there that are better than the 2 garbage songs on there that i've heard? Referring to Hands up & Iceman. No gunit fan especially of Chump Change & Phony Mayo, but I can't hate on the album cover :rock:
-
The whole album was solid, but replay value was very low for half the album.

Yup...I still can't get over that "Gilmores" track. That shit is fire.
-
album was very boring.. not really a g-unit hater, i am jsut getting bored with what they put out. i am looking forward to what 50 is going to put out because he can spit, but his last record was garbage to me.
-
2.5/5

Hear Hear.
Jim Jones = piff
Banks = Dirt weed.
-
I'd say its one of the better releases of the year as well.
my rotation recently has been rotten apple and food and liquor
-
whow at sayin it´s better then Busta´s album. i tried to give this album a shot but Banks delievery and flow is boring, and his wickedy wack punchlines are more played out then Game´s name dropping. i´m still waiting for Buck´s album coz he´s the only rapper on G-Unit Records worth checking out.
-
Props to everyone in this thread for dropping their thoughts. Everyone around here where I'm at is bumping this, old, young, white & black! As far as replay value, it does lack, but not much that came out this year does anyways. There will be at least 3-4 tracks ( Rotten Apple, Know The Deal, Get Clapped, Cake ) will be in rotation for the rest of the winter at least.
LOL all the things being said about Banks in this thread is how i personally feel about the Busta joint. But they are both hot.

Nah, came up quickly. The people on them AOL chatrooms, they must have. Just when you think nobody can think of an insult name for certain people & teams, they're still able 2 do it.
-
the rotten apple track is good survivor is good the rest aint to good
-
Banks' new album - It's ok... Decent enough to put out, but definately nothing major IMO. Better than Busta? Hell naw.
-
careers come and go..his has came and gone :laugh:
-
Sorry to bring up an old thread
I've really giving this album some chances. But I can't seem to like it. Don't really know. I guess I find it boring.
-
of course it's boring, thats why it didn't sell, Regardless of how tight he is or how good his flow is
-
3 good tracks and the rest was trash
-
i gotta take a piss i think ill takd rotten apple with me and piss on it
oh man feels like i gotta take a shit now too
-
Still ain't heard anything from this track, i've completely erased g-unit from my library and have lost track of the low-down on them. i just recently found out that the game's "funeral" beat was jacked from Banks..lol..im oblivious to g-unit! they get no support from me, cept 4 Young Buck! He's awright!
-
"Hands Up" & "You Know The Deal" were dope, the rest was :puke:
Hunger 4 More>Rotten Apple
