Is Lloyd Banks "The Hunger for More" album a classic?

[kermit da hustla]

Why not?

because the beats aren't that good. that's why.

 

[SunZoo]

nothing less than 4 mics, those last 3 tracks finished the album strong too, dope singles.

first time i heard playboy

 

[Loud Still Coolin]

no

 

[Poh SIti Dawn]

because the beats aren't that good. that's why.

So the lyrics are on point, someone just needs to remix the album?

when the album came out no one thought it was more then 3.5mics now fakkits/cacs trying to call this classic

I've always liked the album, I'm 21, this album came out in 2004, I was 12 when this came out and I'm still feeling it.

nikka ride 'til I die the song I sing
You ain't ready for the war I bring
You ain't gonna do a goddamn thing
And I ain't ever scared I'm a warrior!

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

hell no

 

[Tetris v2.0]

I consider Straight Outta Cashville a personal classic. Not this tho, even at the time I found the production weak

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Not a genuine 5 mic classic, but it was a great street album with basically no bad tracks. A lot of dated though. I always wanted to hear the Nottz produced version of I'm So Fly.

I skipped Playboy and Karma. Even then, Playboy was just a re-done version of this:

Word? Some of it was for sure. Definitely sounds more dated now. You'll see this coming a while away, but they should have left this on the album:

I don't know, I found the production great. It's simple, very New Yorker ish. Sounds like you nikkas wanted some trap 808 100 claps and shyt.

banks to me is more a mixtape mc but can still make good album tracks

When the Chips are down >>>

I can still bump without skipping more than 2 tracks. I give it an 8.5/10

Very very good album but It doesnt quite leave the same great impression that Get Rich or The Documentary do

 

[Bigbigguy]

Personal classic

 

[CASHAPP]

No it is not a classic.

Not really because not many people will remember it 10 years from now, because at its best its just a very good album.

@W.I.Z.E. I know right? Dudes in here saying they bumped it in sophomore year alot so its classic.

I think the problem nowadays is especially in terms of hip hop, alot of guys ASSUME because THEY and their boys had good memories to a certain song or album when growing up, it automatically means that it is classic.

If I said I remember "Snap Ya Fingers" being bumped alot in junior year and the great memories from it.....how would I sound if I said it is classic because of that simple reason?
