Lloyd Banks - COTI 2 (Discussion Thread)

[Xtz23]

Rip prodigy hed be on this if he was alive. Prodigy would fit a lot of the tracks as a guest

 

[Tetris v2.0]

is the mastering better this time?

Not really lol

 

[Big Dick]

Not really lol

I think it’s noticeably better.

Bumping during my workout now. That track with Yayo is fukking hard.

 

[CHAIN]

This is frustrating.His vocals are low, his energy is low, he's whispering/mumbling his way through these verses. His clarity and enunciation are not up to par right now.

Dude is one of my favorite rappers but bruh....
There's an AOTY somewhere buried underneath this very mid presentation.

Smh.

 

[BUSINESS AS USUAL]

Man “Dead Roses” is vicious

Lyrically he kills it but beat trash

 

[Redwing80]

What the fukk kinda beat is on that Jada song? Sounds like a 2 pack of ass

Yeah, I had that reaction too. Not a fan of that one so far.

IMO a lot of Banks production is better than is said on here, but man...it really could be a lot better too. Banks has connections and lots of friends too. I really have no idea why he doesn't use at least a few names here and there that are better.

Y'all buggin thats one of the better beats on here

Sounds like some of Kanye shyt

Banks just mentioned on JBP he always made sure when P was here he was on just about every tape he dropped.

Yayo killed that shyt too.

Banks delivery sounds clearer on this project and the production is cleaner.

Need to sit with this properly but this is the best I've hear from Banks in years, and I fukked with COTI too.

First listen.
Impact
Socialize and Dead Roses are my favorites.

Dead Roses has to be one of his best songs ever. Top 5 easily

 

[Playaz Eyez]

The game probably somewhere listening to this and thinking deep down inside The bipolar hate it or love it attitude sets in and now he mad cuz he ain’t never dropping an album this dope this late in his career Banks showing these delusional bums how it’s done

You can give props to Banks without flat out lying about Game. We all know Game has a top tier catalog and that people hate his antics outside of music more than anything.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

This album is dope but I honestly wanted to hear more upbeat stuff like “Fell In Love” on here. Lyrically he’s pretty flawless.

That's the worse song on here

I strongly disagree about his discography I don’t feel I’m lying.
