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

[I'm Blackman]

I don’t agree with X but he did ask Scoop to quote 4 bars or even 2 and he got nothing so didn’t do the best job of defending him

Key point. Ask me this about pac, face, nas, ghost, Jay, Lupe, outkast, styles,az...i could do it in a heartbeat. That's why I say he's talented, but not memorable to me.

 

[poundedyam]

never got the hype with banks.
Hes got one of the wackest rap voices i have ever heard for a so called "lyricist"

 

[Tunez]

X sniffing different

Banks had the best reply to this.

 

[Suspicions]

Banks is easily up there with Jay Z and Biggie in terms of lyricists

He def is but this sounds crazy to some people because they think about it achievement wise while he isn't on their level in those terms but lyrics on paper?! Banks is amazing.

Think hes the last male rap debut to go #1 from New York as well, idk if one of these new dudes passed him

God bless just insinuates he knows hes dealing with a crack head(who happens to be a Legend at the same time)

I could rap straight up songs by banks and verses off random songs but that's hard to do even if its other artists like the ones you mentioned. It's not that I'm not a big fan of them, trust me I am but if scoop rapped 4 verses by banks would X have shut up? I highly doubt it. nikkas just keep moving the goal post even after you fulfill what they asked for

 

[ItzRailT]

He must be back on crack Lloyd Banks top 5 lyricist easily without question, on cold days when I want to get in my New York State of mind Lloyd Banks is definitely in my playlist

 

[King Kai]

I like Banks but X made a valid point.

How you gunna put someone amongst the greats but can't think of memorable bars in your head instantly?

 

[The God Poster]

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

I see where x coming from

You mentioning certain people with certain names, you gotta have some songs in the chamber where you like, listen here my nikka, this shyt crazy

If redman was mentioned, i doubt X says anything...

That's a crazy list to then drop lloyd banks name in between

None of what y’all saying has anything to do with the thread. We not talking songs , delivery, popularity. We talking songs ...if you haven’t or don’t listen to him you can’t speak on it .

 

[YouMadd?]

THis is fukked, but my most memorable Lloyd banks line is "Im not a wrestler, but ill put your bytch in the boston crab ".... The imagery is hilarious...

 

[ISO]

Damn 50 and DMX ethered Banks this month

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

DMX was never an ill lyricist though

DMX at his peak was a better lyricist than banks.

DMX wylinnnnnnnnnnn

Only thing i can even possibly imagine is that he doesn’t like punchline rappers style since the bars sound too setup, and he has more of an aggressive conversation style.

But other than that X wylinnnnnnnnn

DMX just put Big L in his top 5 and has a whole catalog worth of songs with jadakiss. he aint got nothing against punchline rappers.

buddy was putting banks name on a level where he doesnt belong tho. was that fatman scoop?

on the low, it sounded like he was about to mention drake when DMX cut him off. if DMX wouldve waited a couple seconds, he wouldve ended up arguing about drake instead.

 

[puppetmaster]

fukk outta here.

if banks put out a record to serve dmx.
DMX would have to respond because he precipitated the situation.
now i guess nikkaz. Gon get selctive memory about banks serve'n nikkaz.
like nikkaz got selective memory about dmx being a not good enough in the golden era through the styles war to finally thr skill deficient main stream sales spike era.

DMX gotta battle.
if banks out out a diss and it goes with no response.
it makes dmx look even worse.



art barr

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.
