Albums Lloyd Banks - "Halloween Havoc V" (Discussion Thread)

[stepbackj34spud]

Facts is facts. Beats is mid af. But hey y’all got it. I wasn’t feeling any of those COTI joints. This sounds like those. If you are a fan of those you will love this. I do agree with @stepbackj34spud HH4 is a one of Banks’ best projects EVER and best shyt he done in recent times. I look forward to the new AON.

Coti 1 is Banks’ best album. You should go listen again.

Im confused as to what type of sound some of you guys are looking for? Banks’ sound has been this way since the first PLK tape. Grimey & gritty nyc street corner music.

This here.

Dude is back to just blacking out completely on beats! This is exactly what I've been wanting to hear from him. Banks is next level nice, lyrically. He should make sure to always remind people!

All of this

Not the “sound” rather each beat individually. The producers from HH series and AON are the best for him. Tha Jerm, Doe Pesci, Sean Anderson, Mr Authentic, etc… Haas and Getson are dope. My problem is with Cartune. He does half the beats on every project and even though I like shyt he does for others his Banks joints I don’t be feeling. He only did 3 on HH4, which ironically is why I love it so much.

Not done yet but gotdamn this nikka is snapping.

Def could make this a more concise project. But it’s crazy I play one song like of course he’s rapping well but this is just okay, then he hits a pocket or a surprising hook comes in and it’s like I’ll keep this too.

Maybe I’m weird but this just makes me wish he and Fif was still good because he’d kill these hooks.

What's the last hook Fif killed? Breh is washed. I do wish they could still make tracks together.

Lyrically he always smokes these, but god damn he needs some more standout production. Or just link with one producer that actually produces him instead of him just picking "type beats" himself. Still, he's such a good rapper that it's a solid enough effort as always. He's consistent.

 

[Trey0'5Blue2Gz]

Whole album is dope af!! One thing I will always appreciate about Banks is as he gets older his music matures with him.

Legit gets better with every drop.

Looking forward to the new installment of AON.

There's a major step down in production from when he used to work with Doe Pesci, Jerm, Beat Butcha and them from SOI.

His beats used to sound unique and taylor made for him

THANK YOU! And LJ Milan too. I meant to add in Beat Butcha. Really all of them are dope it’s just that Cartune does at least 8 tracks on each project and overall he has the worst on there. It’s gotta be what Banks is picking because that Fahim and Cartune album beats are nice.

I dunno but that's not what I'm getting at.

I mean I'm sure even though he's 'washed' he could still make these hooks sound good and bring life/flavor to some of these tracks. But I was more so just hearing how they would have sounded as I'm listening like

 

[BUSINESS AS USUAL]

Yall weird as Fu. Ckkk crying bout the beats them shyts knock like 98% of em wtfff n his flow n hook game are crazy

 

[AQz]

Never heard of the others in this series. Will give it a listen

 

[TrifeGod]
