Right now my life movin to fast to stop and pray
See every now and then I smile just not today
In my hood they let the choppers spray
Somebody probably got shot today
My name done popped where nikkas surfboard
You ain't stoppin me dawg
Only time you left ya hood is on monopoly boards
You grimey as birds shyttin on the top of ya fords
You will, die by the gun if you ain't droppin ya sword
I got tattoos as well as lead marks
To me fukking is kinda like racin and I always get a head start
My opinion of a sweet dream is a dead NARC
Just yesterday guns is blastin with red darts
Beef, you a target
Cause when we come at yo ass, Aladdin won't be the only one the carpet
Man you wanna play wit a ringer?
I ain't a peoples person
I'll give my next door neighbor the finger (fukk you)
Even though I got the shyt in the stores
I'm like a nikka that borrow clothes
bytch, I'm tryin to get in ya draws
Man I'll dump a whole clip in ya mans braids
p*ssys love Nelly, he made it look cool to wear bandaids
I'm blowin on damn haze
All of a sudden I'm gassed, cause I'm on the radio and I can't wave
If you ain't up on thangs
Lloyd Banks is the name, G-Units the game
Now I know to keep low when the heat blow
I'll have nikkas post up on ya block like I'm shootin the free throw
Still get the green from P-dro, better known as Pedro
I'm ghetto like a patty & egg-roll
Yea they feinin to stick me, they don't know the ninas is wit me
Snuck in wit Christina and Brittney
You only spend time at the mall
On New Years eve a body drops around the same time as the ball (yea)

Over the past decade? How many years we been waiting for a comeback


DMX already had his run. MOVE ON.
if youre waiting for a comeback, i dont know what to tell you.

he had a HUGE 6 year run, with the 1st half of it being goat-like.
anything more than that is just the result of business/politics 9 times out of 10.
people expect him to linger around, stinking up the place like jay-z and these other dudes, but thats all just industry bullchit.

the average legit run is usually 3-5 years.
X did 6 and did it bigger than arguably anybody. i was never interested in a comeback. LOL. im full.


Banks is lyrically better than DMX..not even close

music is a different story

x don’t know shyt in the grand scheme of things..he’s never really been tapped in to the world



you just didnt get what he was saying.

im sure he thinks banks is dope, but you cant plug his name in there with those other names like scoop was tryna do.

banks will drop a dope ass verse, theyre usually a dime a dozen and wont stick to your stomach unless youre a big fan.

I think maybe I wrote it or you read it wrong.

DMX can not fukk with Lloyd Banks, in a nutshell lol, in his absolute prime he would have kicked a hard verse, I have no doubt about that, his mic presence and cadence carry and he wasn't a bad lyricist himself either, but if we're talking word-smithing, it's not a contest.
hate to be that guy, but its how you wrote it my nikka
And there is no doubt in my mind that if DMX got on a track with Lloyd Banks he'd wash him 10/10 fukking times.
This reads like you saying DMX would wash him.

as for "word smithing" as I said lloyd cool but his lyricism aint nothing special to where it wouldnt be a contest imo.

some of his lines are lines yall would kill a Sound cloud rapper for saying cause of how corny they can be

:mjlol: Lloyd Banks is that guy but never place that man in the same breath as KRS, Slick Rick.

He was a foot soldier and burned many bridges with G-Unit. No disrespect but his career without 50’s entertaining character has been boring and under the underground :yeshrug:

DMX was out here routinely oushining the likes of jay-z, the lox, mase, etc.

banks is just a walk in the park(pun intended) in comparison.

I disagree.

But even if you wanna go that route, even in those examples you see that the momentum didn't carry.

And while I doubt a lot of people would know it, that's probably Banks best attribute. He maxed out the punchline lane and then became an even better wordsmith, out of necessity.

If it ever became a real thing between DMX and Banks, he would bar him the fukk out. And not just because he's washed, but because he would do the same to MOST other rappers.

X was a huge star and great talent but I dont understand what his beef is with certain rappers and also, his takes be garbage. Banks one of the best lyricists ever after the 90's.

So what does this have to do with people feeling Banks is a being a better lyricist?
