Lloyd Banks Responds To DMX Saying He’s Not Lyrical & Trash: "He Begged To Work With Me"

[old pig]

He’s right tho. Besides a bunch of old corny punchlines his name shouldn’t be mentioned period.

I’m not gonna go so far as to say “old corny punchlines” but I agree w/ the bold and can understand X taking umbrage to banks being included amongst those other names in terms of lyricism

is banks a lyricist? absolutely

is banks a lyricist the same caliber as the other names being mentioned by scoop?

nah.



...and OT but what happened to crazy sam for those who remember him?

 

[WSFGDan]

He didn't call him trash

Bruh the way he reacted to his name you could bet your life savings he thinks he’s trash

but yeah he didn’t say it

 

[TAYLONDO SAMSWORTHY]

Banks ain’t been a punchline dude in over a decade my guy. Straight wordplay/lyricist.


DMX is a funny guy. Is X the better Artist, sure. But he ain’t half as nice as Banks. It be like that sometimes.

I can quote a million Banks’ verses by heart. fukk outta here, crackhead.

We’re talmbout prime banks which is punchiine banks. When you mention banks he’s known as the “punchline king”

I think people are overreacting to this honestly. I take it as DMX being completely unaware of Banks music outside of a couple of singles, and hearing him as a lyricist just threw him off. Like I know I used to say "Wayne was lyrical" when I was in college (this is during Carter 1 era) and nikkas was like "The fukk is you talking about?", because they only knew him for the Hot Boys shyt. Then 3-4 years later, everyone had him as this GOAT type MC. I think it's X being more unfamiliar with Banks, that's why he asked Scoop to quote some bars to impress him.

Anybody that has been listening to Banks since Day 1 will tell you there’s a huge difference between his style when he first came out and his style now. Banks hasn’t been a simple punchline dude in over a decade my guy. I can post like 10 mixtapes that say otherwise.

Banks is my favorite rapper.. his style is lyricism, wordplay and flow. I won’t debate this. Banks ain’t no punchline guy.

you have awful taste. Banks is a c-list rapper with a monotone lazy ass delivery. When it comes to actually making music that shyt sucks. Yes he can rhyme words well and yes he says some witty stuff sometimes. But there is absolutely nothing entertaining about his music

They should battle,like really battle

 

[kingjones29]

Something is still wrong with DMX

He always been a hater

 

[Crumple]

Like DMX needs another fukking L! What the fukk is he doing disrespecting Banks? And Coli Banks haters coming out of the woodwork.

Scary. Sorry X. Drop an album, go on your - leave Llyod Banks alone!

Banks is one of the greatest emcees ever! Musically incredible.

Leave him the fukk alone.

DMX literally hurt me with this one. Good luck X.

Keep going Banks!

 

[Finesse]

X prolly was only around for the Im So Fly, Smile, I wanna get to know ya and Up In Here Banks

He is probably not even aware of the gunit radio mixtape Banks let alone solo discog Banks

 

[Diondon]

I couldn't recite a Lloyd Bank's bar if you put a pistol to my head.
Lyrical is one thing.
Saying something memorable or classic is a another.
Couldn't recite a Vado bar neither

 

[Billy Ocean]

DMX was never an ill lyricist though

X one of the best lyricists to come out from that era.

 

[dappadonna]

I think because he put Banks in-between Slick Rick , KRS and Big L it through him off.

...but then again I did hear Drake in that list as well .

X started talking about banks just as scoop said drake lol

fwiw I don’t think he would’ve let drake slide if he wasn’t speaking on banks

X already expressed how he feels about drake and his music

so I don’t think I’m reaching w/ that
