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

[SFW]

Man I love this album. Banks got bars for days on this. Classic is a word that is used too often in here, but this is 4 mics easily.

Dude is one of the most under-rated in the game for me. So much quality material from the Unit mixtapes and album to his own Money In The Bank series and the 5 or Better stuff too as well as 3 albums.

@ anyone who says the album didnt age well. you probably didn't listen to it

Exactly, til this day there is not 1 album from any artist with a similar style that can fukk with HFM. Matter of fact, nobody else shyt even comes close.

Got what has happened when HFM can be considered classic?

 

[g-ice]

Personal classic for me as well.

If people say is not a classic then whatever, it's like your opinion, man.

great memories with this, but nah, it's an above average album, 3.5/5, solid debut, just I have the nostalgia for it. And, his lyrics weren't anywhere near as sharp as his mixtape work, that was obvious back then..'Til The End' was my favorite, and the 'Warriors Part 2', I thought I was 50 Cent on that verse and shyt....Banks didn't show enough heart, but this, 'Kiss of Death', 'The Carter' and 'Welcome To Cashville' were all were playing that summer 2004...imagine those were commercially successful albums...

Make a comparison yourself bruh. Compare HFM to ANY album released by a similar artist, so tht goes for Jadakiss, Fabolous, Juelz, Cassidy, and numerous other artists from the past or present. Nobody has anything that could come close to HFM. That does not necessarily mean its a hip hop classic, but it should be acknowleged that Banks put out better work than nikkas that are considered legends.

U aint even on no hater shyt, but this is a damn lie my nikka. Line for line, HFM can compete with any mixtape from Banks or anybody else in that era. Yall nikkas are crazy, the quotables are unlimited, he rode every beat differently, the production was great, and most importantly, the nikka was energetic through the whole album.
