if people think X really listened every mixtape or more than 10 songs of banks you are wrong.. during breakfast interview years ago he struggle to give names that impress him at the game he only tell 1 and was J. Cole and he said it was on radio

and in general i doubt he really listening in his day any full album by other mc besides his projects :lolbron:

Exactly. This is the issue I have when people speak on Pac.

Pac, Biggie, DMX and a whole slew of legendary rappers aren't lyricists to nikkas on here. I hate how internet nikkas just b*stardized the shyt out of the term lyricist in Hip Hop. Pac a better lyricist than damn near everybody nikkas be calling elite lyricists on here.

U and everyone who dapped u buggin tf out. X was absolutely an ill lyricist and one of the illest and most creative storytellers in the game. Stop. Also. X is buggin saying that about Banks. Prolly don’t even listen to Banks.
nikkas are really weird where if you're not some lyrical miracle rambling rapper your considered not a lyricist or someone who can't rap

X isn't a better lyricist G'z. How many times can you rhyme cruddy and bloody? Lol. Thats his 2pac enemy and Hennessy. I love DMX...he can not write or flow like Banks. DMX is a way better artist, it's not close...he's a way better performer...you feel his shyt way way more, not close...on some move the crowd, microphone controller, master of ceremonies shyt, yes, X is the better MC. But this whole issue is based on lyricism, X questioned his pen...that's stupid of him brudda, you know that. He could have questioned almost anything else lol.
X is FAR more than cruddy and bloody the same way Pac is FAR more then enemy and Hennessy, those have always been lazy arguments.

2pac my second favorite rapper ever...never no disrespect. I didn't say that's all he was, or X...I'm just saying they rhyme them words a whole lot, lol. I think Pac was a lyricist...I actually think X is somewhat of a lyricist too...I just think Banks is a better one.

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 :yeshrug:

If Scoop would have gave him something off top and was Dope, I bet X would have been:ehh:

Needing some receipts is some old school shyt:myman:

I don't think DMX is familiar with hiphop that came out in the last 10 years let alone Banks who drop mostly mixtapes.

Big L being DMX's top 5 rappers though:patrice:

What's wrong with that:ufdup:

Peep this. X was def a lyricist. He just slowed his shyt down.

I never really saw they hype behind Banks either. I won't say he's trash, but he's definitely not for me, and more of a generic NYC punch rapper of that time. Plus he didn't make much memorable music, in my opinion. His voice doesn't help either. There's just 100 rappers I'd listen to before I'd even get to Lloyd Banks.
