Lloyd Banks - COTI 2 (Discussion Thread)

[stepbackj34spud]

Yes it is

No its not man. You are in the minority here. Just because you typed “Lloyd Banks stan” over your avatar, it doesnt make you right. You are embarrassing yourself here.

Coti doesnt sound like a typical Banks mixtape. The production quality is better. Coti has six featured guest artists.. Banks has never released a official mixtape with more than 3 or 4 features. All these tracks have hooks too. Banks has said himself that he has album of the year. I also mentioned the album length type run time compared to his typical mixtapes.

Just because there’s no disc version of Coti, that doesnt mean its not an album. Its 2022, nobody buys cds. Banks is independent and doesnt have to worry about distribution.

I could see a Banks project with bigger features happening at some point

I think if Banks wanted, he could secure features from Wayne (Banks manager Hovain seems cool with Mack Maine), Fab, 2 Chainz, Big Sean, Jeremih, Wiz, Pusha or Cole…. Again, that’s if Banks wanted to….. I’m sure we’re gonna get Vado and Styles as usual tho

Nobody wants to hear Banks rap alongside none of those nikkas man. Maybe Push or Cole but the rest of those popcorn rappers na.

i agree with both you and @Tunez

it’s definitely an album, Banks has said so a bunch of times and we all knew that’s what it was from the jump.

That said, I actually think the sound quality on some of his mixtapes was better then on COTI. FNO and V6 for example. I also don’t think the overall sound was much different from his mixtapes but Banks mixtapes were pretty much albums anyway so it’s kinda pointless anyway

He needs big names, and not Vado & Dave East. Time to make something he can get more attention with.

Word bond

Not sayin that’s what ppl wanna hear but if he were to get A-B list features for a bigger budgeted project, I’m sayin those are the features I could see him pullin off

production wise, I think he needs to get with Havoc, Alchemist, Harry Fraud, Statik Selektah, etc for a more polished version of the sound he likes going for

He needs a G-Unit track.

none of that matters if he keeps rapping on beats made by banging trash can lids together. We gotta stop enabling this nikka’s half assed bull shyt nikka don’t even bother mixing anything..it’s 2022

he needs to go listen to fab to see how half assed his shyt sounds in comparison

G-Unit doesn’t exist anymore.

He needs soulful beats and some high end producers. But he’s not with the industry hype so we’re basically getting a part 2 of his last album which is cool but it’s gonna come and go.

Like the first one

Banks separated himself from the mainstream, I was listening to that project for a long time so it’s whatever.
