This is old news...and Banks addressed it in this song.
And he's also agreed with most of what 50 said. He's specially admitted his performances used to be trash.
What I took from the video is..."THIS is the same guy that made fun of Floyd Mayweather's reading?"

Be late as hell brehs. Everyone been heard this audiobook. 
"The head of his label became his dancer". Diddy catching strays.
the thing they left out about tupac, is if he had not been killed, his acting career would have eventually grown to overshadow his rapping career. sort of like Ice cube and will smith. he would an a list superstar, so his approach to social media would be natural because he's used to being in front of a camera anyway.
with biggie there's no point in speculating. if the bullets didn't get him, his cholesterol would've. dude was never making it out of the 90s.

Absolute nonsense. These nikkas closed every door available to them helping 50 fight battles that HE started

Yurrrrrrrrrr
Out of all the G-unit members Banks had the most potential. He had the best lyrical prowess. Listen to those early 2000's G-unit mixtapes
Banks isn't really a spotlight person like Fif, he's more of a lowkey chill dude.
Fif always been on Banks case saying he's lazy, but which is somewhat true. Despite the criticism from his boss, Banks never been trash even with the voice change.

I doubt it. Juice and Above the Rim were good, but his other movies were lackluster and all of them were more or less low budget and didn't really reach a mainstream audience. And even though he was at the height of his fame when he was on death row, the three movies that were shot at that time flopped or went straight to video.
What battles did they "help" 50 with that 50 couldn't handle himself????

It's actually really good particularly if you are old enough to remember his initial limited success in the late 90s.
Jada, Nas, Game, and a ton others. When the likes of AZ sonned 50 beyond belief, was when 50 himself knew that his run going to be cut short.

That shyt about Biggie got me crying.

What battles did 50 handle “himself” though?
50 in his prime was a force, but come on.
Against Ja Rule it was a full court press with 50, Eminem, Lloyd Banks, Yayo, Buck, Busta Rhymes, D12, Obie Trice, DMX, Dr. Dre, and they even repurposed a Tupac verse and used it on a diss track to Ja.
This is not to say 50 wasn’t in there putting in work. Just that “handled himself” sounds like revisionist history.
His later beefs didn’t go nearly as well with Ross, D Block, Camron, Fat Joe, and more leaving unscathed. If you look it in terms of “by himself” the most effort he gave post ja rule was going at Ross; making full skits, going on press runs, disses back to back, but with the turmoil at G Unit, and no one else jumping in to help send shots, Ross wasn’t even moved in the slightest. Banks had the best diss against Ross (arguably one of the best disses in hip hop) and a lot of people never even heard it (probably including Ross himself).
