Lloyd Banks AON 3 Despite My Mistakes (April/30/2025) (Official Thread)

[Canada Goose]

Listening to random songs on Youtube off this album, all songs fire so far.






The song with Ghostface and Perfect World

 

[Big Dick]

Yeah this could be up there with FNO as maybe his finest project.

Anyone got a list of all the references on Art of Rap? Had to be near 50 lol. That song Dedication with TL Topline or whatever his name is was dope as hell too. Felt like it could’ve been on LIU with the vibes and verses. Beat reminded me of Transitions. That kid had a nice chill verse too, floated nicely on it.

First 70% of the album is insane and the last three tracks are great too. Goes out on a great note. Revolving Door and the Grudge only ones I gotta bump more to see if they gonna be skips or not to me.

I saw the beat debate going on earlier and I don’t wanna restart it but to me this one clearly has a different vibe than the Halloween Havoc series and COTI. Lot more smooth samples as opposed to the relentless dark and gritty shyt he’s been on and I fukked with it.

He referenced the art of rap documentary or the art of rapping in itself?

What rappers in 2025 are punchline rappers? I'm not being a smart ass. I mean like rappers that do it multiple times per verse.

And I wasn't trying to say that no rappers now use punchlines. I know punchlines have always been a thing and always will be. But I mean like 00's Fab, Banks, Wayne, etc.

38 Spesh does it real heavy.

I put 2 rappers in my post .. rylo and no cap it’s a bunch of mumble (rylo) or lazy punch lines but they heavy punch line rappers

There’s a track Art of Rap that’s loaded with references to artists and shyt

 

[ThaPrez]

Album is really good. This song sounds like a subliminal diss not sure who he’s going at.

Feels like he's going at 50.

Classy way to do it IMO. Just some nice slick bars and not too messy.

 

[ThaPrez]

Whole album is I've ran this track back 5x's he's spitting.

Fire.... this joint is the substance I been wanting from Banks.

Dope, gonna listen now!

 

[Redwing80]

If I Wake Up could've been the intro

 

[Redwing80]

One Life could've fit on any of the previous AONs

Beautiful

“I don’t have time to watch you foul out that’s what court seats are for”

 

[AJtheOne]

So many fav cuts on this, I don’t know where to start

 

[Cool DOC]

Tape is hard, Banks hasnt missed in a long time
