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 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?

Lloyd Banks is the name, G-Units the game

Thats what i was sayingI 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

DMX acting suspect
There is a reason for why X said that
If banks not that good ...
Why would he reach out to banks to work with him

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.
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.
hate to be that guy, but its how you wrote it my nikka
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

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
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.

I was gonna come in here and say the same shyt. X is mad overrated.DMX was never an ill lyricist though
So what does this have to do with people feeling Banks is a being a better lyricist?
