Lloyd Banks - The Course Of The Inevitable (Discussion Thread)

[Menna]

How many full albums has Banks had??? (Counting mixtapes that could of been full albums) I say 8...People also forget about his 4/30/09 tape I think that was an hour 20 of heat. and V5 was sold. HH2 was solid

1) HFM1
2) Rotten Apple
3) Big Withdraw (leaked)
4) HFM2
5) Cold Corner 2
6) V6
7) FNO
8) HH3 (very good underrated came out late in 2016.

Nah breh. And this is just personal opinion, but the first AON got MORE bangers on it.
For ME, it's


F.N.O.

• The Natural
• You Wish
• Reminder
• Paint The Sky
• The Plague <--- This RUN
• Lead The Blind
• Daily Betrayal
• Keep Up
• Tour Stories
• House Pride

VS.



L.I.U.

• Pledge of Allegiance
• Land of Opportunity
• Insomniac <--- This RUN
• Work Hard
• Reap What You Sow
• Transitions
• Reverse
• Bad Weather

Just the best songs off both tapes in my opinion. I don't think the second one can fukk with the first at all. The only other tape post 2010 from Banks I think might be as good, if not better, is Cold Corner 2. @Tunez know what's up





EDIT: Thought you said LIU was better and I got in my feelings

lol had me thinking drop a diamond was on LIU. I love LIU too but FNO got me through some shyt.

you’re crazy ranking FNO that low. That was Banks at his peak...so far at least imo

How is FNO not higher than Rotten Apple?

This the best song on HH3, an album of his which doesn't even deserve to be mentioned with his best, if we're being honest.





Idk why I always saw this, and songs like these as subs to 50

Same. Was going through peaks and valleys at the time. But the "HOH" tracks, and House Pride used to bring me right back


FNO is Lloyd Banks at his peak, with his new style. It wasn't until I heard House Pride that I realized he was really unlocking new flows and not just a "mixtape rapper" anymore.

 

[SpacelySprockets]

AON FNO is his best project

Lets hope this tops it

Couldn’t agree more man. Dude dropped a lot of real gems on that album on top of just lyrically taking it to another level. House Pride, Keep Up, Pain in Variety, and Drop A Diamond was the soundtrack to my drive to a slave job that kept me sane lol.

FNO is up there with It Was Written with me as far as classics go.

 

[King_Sage]

I think he listed them chronologically

@ the responses to the order

yeah he long over due on DSPs smh

 

[dappadonna]

What da hell happened to Louie V , banks brother ?

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Supposedly the beat for the song with Benny

 

[BK The Great]

THis was the better of the two AON mixtapes...Not one song you would skip

I liked this one too

I know right? but we are in the minority I think. put LIU and FNO near the top for me. I am certainly in the minority but FNO is damn near his best work to me. definitely a fav. I been bumping it last week. cant wait til the new album.

 

[dizzy4111]

Pretty sure dude was listing in chronological order. I doubt anyone rates Rotten Apple that high tho I could be wrong.

 

[Chris Cool]

Still doing songs with vado like it's 2009.

 

[surv2syn]

yall dont rock with datpiff? I use it the same as DSP's. whether streaming or download for offline. any mixtape thats not on DSP, thats where I am. plus I like to hear the original tapes....most of the shyt released to DSP been altered. like Meek shyt. Consignment was some of Jada best shyt and it aint on DSP either.

 

[BK The Great]

If only Conway and Westside were on this.
