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

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

Word, 50 been trying for years.

At the very least get him on Hot 97, Sway or LA Leakers for a freestyle, at least he's in his comfort zone then

Would have liked a Jim feature. Jimmy stepped it up a lot as a rapper and it would have been cool to hear him with banks. Jim’s verse on fly like the wind is so trash but he’s way better now

 

[Suspicions]

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.

Drink champs would have been good. He called up there once and said he’d visit

It’s 2021 bro

Exactly. I think that was @Tunez point.

Almost everyone in Banks’ lane drops vinyl and eats good from it. Digital-only releases are actually pretty rare these days for indie hip hop artists. if you name your favorite 10 projects from 2020 that weren’t Nas, Jay, or major label releases, I bet 8 of the 10 had vinyl/cassette drops.

Especially post-covid. Merch and vinyl are a tried and true route in the post-pandemic indie scene.

edit: @JordanWearinThe45 peep this graph. It’s crazy.

I wouldnt hold my breath for that the only nikka from Dipset on good terms with G Unit is Cam ironically enough

Would have been cool if he did vinyls and cassettes like griselda idk

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.

Manager should push him, and he probably did.

I spoke with Big Pooh from Little Brother in 2018 after he became a manager for 3 different solo artists. He said the hardest part about being a manager was the occasional times where you care more about your artists’ careers than they do. And he said it can hurt to know they won’t always want something that would definitely help them.

Banks and Jim was cool though they got like 3 songs together but I don’t see cam and banks doing anything anyway so you right

Maybe he’ll have a interview about the album on some hip hop website if we’re lucky. He shouldn’t hold back cause that’s what’s preventing him from getting more exposure.

Damn that’s crazy

Free the breh @Jimmy Two-Times™.

he need to be here for this.

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.

I remember the first time I heard this






Still don't know who had the better verse
