He's a good rapper, but he struggled on the album. The beats were pretty tight overall, but each time he got a guest on the track they showed him up. To be honest he's my least favourite G-Unit rapper - he's tighter than 50 and Game lyrically but lacks their charisma, and Buck shits on him on both fronts.

I think he's got some good lines here and there but he has the most repetitive style I've ever heard.

His album was dope, imo, but he needs subject matters, that's why you get quickly bored of the album.
He's not telling any stories, and not much about himself, like you'd expect from a solo album.

I used to hate the fuckin album. I gave it a chance, it has some heaters. Overall a decent effort that I still bump in my ride from time to time.

he switched his style and sounds rather boring nowadays

listen to his verse on the Soldier remix (G unit over Em's soldier beat) that's some raw shit right there, the way he uses his voice n shit was totally different back then. If his album was like that I'd prolly love it even with the lack of subject matter.

When I read eveyrone's opinions I get a feeling they listened to the beats & not his lyrics.How do I feel about his album???I think its dope lyrically & beat wise.After all the stuff he did on the G-Unit album,u can tell he saved the best lyrics for his solo shit,cause he really did step his lyrics up.Ive read lots of people complaining that he really didnt talk about anything on his album,then what the hell were these songs about???
-Warrior
-I Get High
-I'm So Fly
-Warrior Part 2
-Karma
-Til The End
-South Side Story
There's lots of albums that have only like 1 or 2 songs about a certain topic like Xzibit's Restless album.U know what I mean???

BANKS IS THE KIND OF DUDE WHO U WANT SPITTEN 16 ON A FEATURED SONG. HE SOUNDS HELLA SICK WITH G-UNIT WHEN HE SPITS JUST ONE VERSE. INSTEAD OF DOING THE WHOLE SONG

Couldn't have said it better. Looking for much more than I got with the album. It may be because I was expecting more. I think that's why I liked Young Buck's album. Never really took him serious so I wasn't really for anything in particular so his album was a nice surprise.

i got the album myself and gave it a 3.5 aswell outta five the song i love the most is til the end though the beat needs to tone the beeps (the alarm clock ones a little but i really doubt eminem did that)fucking luis resto but anyway work magic when the chips are down <--that song is sicc but for some reason it sounds like game never even finished his verse ive always wondered that and the warrior pt.2 was a weak beat eminem must have gave thim that one for free.  and young buck does kill him on his own shit but that dude that said he cant do a song by him slef is right Banks needs like the perfect beat or words not just ramble off to complete the song.  but shit id go see him

Banks is cool, like most people said though, I was expecting a lil more from his album after hearing some of his mixtape shit. I got Banks and Buck's album and I defo feel Buck's more..
