Anyone else feel like Lloyd banks wrote all early 50 shyt?

Was just listening to old g unit and I’m convinced banks wrote most of 50s shyt back then.

listen to 50 when he was around banks and when he wasn’t it’s pretty obvious. I always wondered why 50 couldn’t make good music after g unit and this makes sense why.

Swear I remember banks freestyling and using in the club hook in his verse on some mixtape.

 

nah
maybe a track here and there

 

I doubt it their styles are completely different. Think 50 lost his passion for rap and is too busy doing other shyt.

I could be wrong but I don’t remember hearing Banks freestyle the in da club hook. I remember 50 doing it right after Banks freestyle

 

Also I wouldn’t let 50 call me lazy if I was responsible for the majority of his hits .

They complement each other well, better together but I’m not sure how much of a collaborative effort it was behind the scenes

 

Not at all

 

50 meant he’s lazy like come write my shyt . I see what you are saying but you think 50 couldn’t make the same music because he was busy? I dubo I can’t remember any good 50 music any time after g unit.

 

Nah. 50 proved he can write and make songs.

 

Its weird but I guess its not impossible for whatever reason, even prodigy had a gradual decline lyrically.

That nikka was up a 100 mill before his 3rd album dropped. I wouldn't even step out the house with that kinda of money officially retired


I get what you're saying tho. At one point I thought JMJ wrote power of the dollar.

It seems 50 was writing for JMJ and wrote for puffy as well






I still love his music old and new

 

He might’ve helped with some hooks and bars, Banks’ pen game was the best in the group.

 

Post some examples of verses you think Banks wrote.

 

Nah 50's old raps weren't really punch or multi heavy like Banks

 

You thought Jay was writing for 50?

You realize he was a DJ and Producer right, not a rapper.

 

You swear you remember or you think so because you heard other people say this?

 

Lol yea I know but 50 said JMJ taught him how to count bars, write hooks, and structure songs

My mind started to wonder like op because there’s definitely a considerable drop off in his wordplay



But I heard those tracks from 97-98 and someone in the YT comments said 50 was ghostwriting for JMJs album that never came out

 

Banks wrote high all the time. 50 doesn't even smoke
