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

[Harry B]

Completely different styles.
There is little to Bank's music that makes me believe he wrote 50s music.

50s earlier shyt was a natural progression from his late 90s shyt, barely any difference until he started with the more "southern flow" thing. Other than that 50 been writing hits, more likely that he wrote the hooks and shyt to Banks hits.

 

[BK The Great]

50 might’ve wrote some of Banks’s hooks as well, this is clearly 50’s song




This song shows Banks can write hooks and sounds like something 50 would sound like on a record.

 

[Ziggiy]

50 has always prided himself on writing even if he knows he’s not a super lyricist he still stressed that he was the one writing his hits

 

[Funcrusher]

I remember the 50 interviews from around the Massacre. He started treating music like he was he was working for a marketing agency. It was all demographics this, harsh realities that, actual so and so. Of course his writing was going to take a dive with that approach.

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

you can write songs about shyt you dont do

thats most of rap

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

No

 

[Cladyclad]

50 cent is light years better than banks. This notion that he was better or in the realm of 50 has always annoyed me lol

 

[BK The Great]

Both are two different types of artists. Banks is a MC, 50 is a song crafter. Both have strengths. The choice is yours on who is better or who you prefer.

I’ve never heard a 50 Cent song and thought it sounded like Banks wrote the verse

We hear Banks wrote In Da club hook and now we gonna go all the way left wit it? It ain’t that serious

50 was doing a lot of hooks back then even the ones on the other G Unit members solo albums

 

[Long Live The Kane]

Never got that impression especially for all of 50’s shyt…maybe a verse or a song or so I could believe…but it always seemed to me 50 was the better song maker of the too and had input on banks single and hit attempts…Buck says he wrote a track for fif, but it was some shyt way after either of their relevance had faded

 

[SlurRty]

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.

Why is Lloyd Banks writing for 50 Cent when 50 Wrote for Game And we know this lol? You probably got it backwards if anything. 50 Cent has the best song pen. Lloyd Banks is the punchline king. Two complete different styles. They probably bounced ideas off each other at the studio but if anybody wrote for somebody it would be 50 cent.

 

[CrimsonTider]

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

What does this have to do with Banks writing for 50?

 

[ThirdAct]

What does this have to do with Banks writing for 50?

Everything

 

[CrimsonTider]

Everything

No it doesn’t. When you write music for someone, you write it for them

why would banks write verses for 50 with multis and punchlines?

Yeah. Already said I don't believe Banks wrote for 50 but Iit's a big difference between taking someone song/paper with bars and a ghost writer writing for someone.

A GR does it from that persons POV.

In a way 50 has Pac's writing and rapping style: easy, simple wordplay but highly descriptive and effective.
