all valid points, here’s my response tho:
1) Lil Wayne, Fabolous, T.I., Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Royce Da 5’9”, Styles P, Juicy J, Fat Joe and Jim Jones are all rappers from the early 90s to early 2000s still dropping music every 1-2 years with enough features in between.. my argument with Banks is that he’ll literally disappear and leave his fans hanging until Vado or Griselda make him rap again
2) he wasn’t off G Unit when he made the HH2 videos because Eif Rivera directed them.. thats 50 right hand man so you can tell 50 influenced that... even the videos like Big Bully were directed by 50... this is where I give Banks and Hovain credit for this new rollout because this is the first time since Banks left 50 that he’s doing more than just dropping the music on DatPiff then going on hiatus
3) yeah you can tell he doesn’t make music for money... I think he could’ve established a 2nd resurgence if he released that Gangsta Grillz over the trap beats but he had too much pride to release it
I’ll give him a pass for the break he took when he had 2 kids tho lol but I would’ve been satisfied if he finished the At Your Request series or gave us CC3 anyway... us Banks fans take whatever we can get at this point. He could’ve dropped the full 80s Baby track at least lol
