After revisiting, Lloyd Banks AON LIU is one of the greatest mixtapes ever. There is no project like this.

Man this shyt is a masterpiece. You won't skip anything. From the first track to the last this is Banks best project in his career. The shyt is so fukking well put together. This not being an album is a travesty. Shout out to DJ Drama for hosting this shyt.

If you never heard this or not really in tune with Banks, this project grabs you. You stay tuned in and you will rewind to catch bars over and over again. The shyt DOES NOT LET UP. If you listen to this, please do it straight thru. This shyt is so fukkin good dawg. Haven't played it in a while and I remember how nothing was skippable.

I'm telling y'all nikkas, this is a masterpiece.

Banks been making his best music when alone to his devices…

He embodies the definition of “The Quiet Ones are the ones that are the most dangerous”.


I bet Banks has a home recording studio set up somewhere

Tell you the truth I never heard of LIU

doing some googles I think he did a Childish Gambino where he released KAIUI & STN MTN, two mixtapes at the same time
Nah this came out about a year and a half after FNO. And like I said, FNO is fire but LIU is masterpiece shyt. Same mixtape series too.

By the time you get to the song Reverse you will need a break bro lol. By the you will be reconsidering your top 10 hip hop projects.

My brother is the biggest Banks fan ever, so I’ve heard all his shyt routinely 😂

This is definitely dope :whew:

I liked FNO more. Banks don’t really make bad albums. I like all his later career releases.


He is the definition of leveling up. He’s mastered the art.

I don't think it's really close bro. On this shyt it's like each song led into the next one so perfectly. Drama brought in the songs creatively and Banks just floated thru the whole tape. The flow was so consistent and smooth. You get so many different flow patterns and the punches hit hard as hell when they show up in a verse lol.

You are on a cloud while listening to this shyt. It makes the day feel rainy and grimey but not violent grimey, if there is a smooth version of grimey this is the definition of it.

Track by track it really feels cloud like. I've never really got that feeling from an album from anyone.
