it’s probably the right move for him at this time until he has more to talk about. All nikkas gonna do is ask him about the old G-Unit days & 50 Cent.

He probably doesn’t want to talk about it.
I think he could pull an evidence and talk about his life. People like relatability. Banks settled down and had kids. Has probably dealt with fall outs and strained friendships or relationships.

It’s surprising how little it takes to be relatable and engage people. You got you tubers and podcasters out here with triple digit followers, but are all ride or die.

Banks could do that. And I mention evidence because he’s really mastered the art of giving people his life in music without being Emo. Banks has been doing a lot of the same thing. Ev isn’t out there like crazy either, and is a very private guy too.

Banks could just do that. I don’t think Banks has to try very hard to engage people.

The only thing I can think of is he’s hoping the music will speak for itself and he’s comfortable enough to not be pressed to work the circuit for every last unit.

I feel him on the level that he’s never been about the press and if he’s content then it is what is it. He’s fortunate to be living comfortably with the way record labels fukk the artists. And the quality of his music is the reason his fan base is so loyal but on the other hand he should def be regarded more highly. People on here still think he’s a one trick punchline rapper smh
As much as I would love for that approach to work I just dont see it happening on a wide scale, itll likely be a highly praised body of work from his fans that otherwise flies under the radar. If he's content with that then thats cool but I've seen him complaining about people not caring about him and saying if he doesnt like the numbers of a project then hes not putting it out in the past. We'll see I guess.

This project is gonna go under the radar of a lot of people. He should do at least one interview on the internet or something if he’s not doing press.

That's CAPO sales from 2009, EL CAPO which dropped in 2019 hasn't even sold 40k total in the US and did 5k 1st week. 2 different albums.

But you know that, which is why you didn't link the wiki article you got that non sense from.

:ohhh:Glad to see Styles-P and Vado made the album. "Cover Me" and "Paint The Sky" are banks classics in my eyes, chemistry on the mic is amazing.

Kind of wish he did a joint with Fab, def would've helped sales somewhat. Just pre ordered it, hope bruh does well, been a big fan since that Victory Freestyle:wow:.

As his manager shouldn't he be pushing him to change that? Shiiiit at least get on Drink Champs or People's Party for an interview.

Features look great, do we know who's on production? Would have loved a Yayo or 50 feature for old times sake but it looks like this is him really standing on his own.

Hopefully he presses some CDs or vinyl, just looks like clothes and posters in the merch drop.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink it.
