I Says Yes, They Names Are Already Branded, Banks & Yayo Just Gotta Go Hard Right Now, But I'm Curious To See What The Fans Got To Say?
Can Tony Yayo & Lloyd Banks Be Successful Without 50 Cent ?

NO...
They were branded as 50 Cent's minion (Banks) and hypeman (Yayo)...So, the fan base will always see them as such...Because they don't have the talent to re-invent themselves and bring something different and exciting to the game...
Banks is the type who will collaborate with whoever is hot to catch a buzz...In BBall speak, "he can't create his own shot"...He needs a good point guard...
You can compare it to Rick Ross, Meek Mill and Wale...Even though, I don't listen to their music, as a fan of hip hop, I see those three as MMG, but only as far as a label is concerned...
Musically, I don't associate Wale with Rick Ross...Wale is Wale...I also don't associate Meek Mill with Rick Ross...The way Rick Ross has branded them is as superstars collaborating with each other...They are all talented individuals using the MMG machine to get ahead...
Wale and Meek Mill are not branded as "yes men" who have no control over the direction of their art...
That's why Wale and Meek Mill can leave MMG and take their fan base with them where ever they go, but Banks and Yayo can't really do that...The majority of people whoo support Yayo and Banks do it because of the 50 affiliation...
I fcuks with 50, but I don't fcuks with Yayo and Banks, I tolerate them because they are with 50, if they leave the G-Unit circle, I will NOT have a reason to pay attention to their careers, unless they surprise me and really bring something fresh and exciting....

Dude, where is Banks...? If the Coli didn't exist, who in the offline world would you hear talking about Banks...?
Banks is a good 16 bars to complement 50...He can't go 3 verses per song for a 13 track album...He is just a collection of "hot bars" with no real story...
Dude is a Robert Horry of Hip Hop...He can be successful if the system works, but you don't expect him to carry the team in a series...

Yes.
Banks can. Banks has the talent to do so. Banks also has a semi cult following.
Nope. 50 ain't gonna leave them high and dry like that; unless they keep talking reckless.

I would like to hope so, but I don't see it at this point. Banks would be the one with the best chance though.
