[old pig]

nikkas is really gearing up to shyt on X’s music for lloyd banks

 

[LebronsHairline]

He must be back on that dogfood banks flow and lytics are outstanding

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

This right here. That is what X was getting at. X knows who Lloyd Banks is.

The fact that Scoop couldn't even recite 4 bars or 2 bars drives home the point at what X is getting at.

That isn't a knock on Banks. Banks can rap.

I watched the full video...after arguing about Banks, Scoop said Drake name and X was cool with it, had no issue or tried to stop him

But he stopped Scoop later and asked where Big L was bc he didnt hear him say his name. X said L is in his Top 5 with Rakim, Big Pun, Kool G Rap, & Big Daddy Kane


Starting at 10:28 is when it all starts




So he DO like punchline rappers....he just thinks Banks is trash

interesting convo so far, i will hear the rest later

DMX spittin fax

at that dude not bein able to quote a Banks line

 

[Sinister]

DMX spittin fax

at that dude not bein able to quote a Banks line

How many other rappers did he tell him to quote?

The band people couldn't even get juicy right. Why am I expecting a dj to be rap genius?

The easier something is to quote and remember the shallower it is

We don’t disagree. If a bar is thrown then bars gotta be thrown back, that’s a given.

It’s a battle that doesn’t need to happen tho, not at this stage.

worst thing Banks could do is bar up on DMX in my view.

X is a whole ass legend, and cats seasoned ears ain’t the ones who’d be weighting in.

It’d be the hot take meme culture who only knows X for his struggles.

what does Banks gain if he bars up on a war torn DMX?

it won’t validate or invalidate X’s viewpoint on his skills

Admittedly I’m a DMX mark who won’t let go of that string of hope that he has one more solid album in him, also admitting I don’t want to see him in a possible position where he couldn’t properly defend himself on wax and give dumb dumb hot take kids ammo.

if dmx was really this guy like that beyond the sales spike era.
he would not have had such a big head to do wtf he did.

now we get to see what happens.
banks could easily pack dmx out.
DMX would lose off the fact his bread and butter is at best old styles war call and response style era of music. Which was outdated by two sonic landscapes when he dropped.

DMX really should not have said anything.
plus it makes him look outdated.
just off the fact.
one of the last people to pack somebody out definitively in a battle diss song was banks.
that nikkaz have selective memory and start using bullshyt beyond skills discussion in a fake attempt to save face about.

DMX should not have done that.
unless he was really ready and i don't see dmx being of skill.
to take on Lloyd banks at all.
intangibles, like engineering, production and mixing all things that dmx really will not get proper credit for. In a battle where he precipitated it and it being created around a lyrics.

just another one of those got a record deal types. Who lost and then think because they sold. They elevated skill but really just there on some a label threw paper and made it shyt.


this whole idea of you got to be signed.
or you sold is and always bullshyt as far back as Kurtis blow.
DMX gotta battle if banks decide to eat that plate of food.

DMX whole kinda sales fabricated legacy is in jeopardy.
if banks decide to scrape him too.

Not even a diss from X, y’all just not used to people actually saying opinions in this superfriends era of rap

 

[Art Barr]

nikkas is really gearing up to shyt on X’s music for lloyd banks

I am gearing up to hear dmx either be bold enough to diss banks outright via song and not hide his hands.
or banks to take the initiative and scrape dmx.
if banks don't say nuffin he stoopid and he will lose.
just off not saying nuffin and being wtf fiddy was talembout.
banks should easily be out right now.
making the shyt to pack dmx out.

[swerve]

Can someone post some hot Banks bar from the last 10 years

no hate just wanna know

 

[Art Barr]

Not even a diss from X, y’all just not used to people actually saying opinions in this superfriends era of rap

that is a diss.
DMX gotta launch an offensive.
banks has to take the initiative.
there is no other way.
unless both wanna look lesser.
there has to be a battle or neither can walk forward.

it is the way, period.

[Stick Up Kid]

Not 1 person has dropped a dope Lloyd Banks line still

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

All of these are true at the same time:

Banks is lyrical

DMX has made much better music than Banks

Banks could beat him on wax because he is washed up

DMX could lose on wax and it would really mean nothing

 

[Redwing80]

nikkas is really gearing up to shyt on X’s music for lloyd banks

Banks been holding nikkas down for the last decade and X has been a huge disappointment

Most people on twitter and Instagram are in agreement too
