He wasn't big that entire time, he got hot twice. 03 to like 05. Then 10-11.

So once someone has a platinum and Gold record they hot for only a few months? Remeber this was before all the social media and the microwave fame this shyt lasted longer 15 years ago. 2003 Beg for mercy sold 2.7 milliom...2004 Platinum HFM his solo grammy nominated...Still hot in 2005 off platinum record shows, singles feature, promo, 2006 Gold Rotten Apple...Id say still hot in 2007...G unit comes out with T.O.S sells 1,500,000 albums in 2008...2009 (mixtapes 4.30.09, V.5, Cold Corner and then end of 2009 and 2010-2011 HMF2 Beamer Benz and CC2... Id say pretty hot that whole time maybe ill give you he was look warm for 6 months in that time span but he was in the conversation for hottest in game from 2003-2011

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.

I should of said in no paticular order. I just think the 8 bodies of work I mentioned could of been commercial albums even though alot were mixtape...I say FNO is in his top 3 of bodies of work..HFM1 and CC2 and FNO are top 3...I think HH3 and V6/V5 underated

Joe Budden did a short call with Banks on his pod. Banks in good spirits and even tho Joe was joking about dropping a verse for Banks that would be dope. The last song they did together was one of my fav tracks in that project

2016 AON Live it up...Joe has a good verse...Cant listen to his pod anymore but ima tune in to hear banks

where the fukk you getting those numbers? Rotten apple flopped and so did t.o.s. You don't have to tell me era it was, I remember it quite well.

He went platinum in 04. By 06, buzz is dead for him and g-unit was a whole. Rotten apple and tos both flopped. He went 5 years between plaques.

Rotton Apple went Gold sold 1,350,000 world wide T.O.S RIAA Cert Gold sold 1,500,000 world wide From 2006-2009 he released 7 mixtapes and had two gold albums one with G unit ????? in 2009/2010 he had resurgence with HFM2..

2003 x2 Platinum
2004 Platinum/Grammy Nomiated
2005 - Nothing released still hot
2006 - Gold 1.3 mill sold
2007 Nothing
2008 T.O.S Gold 1.5Mil sold
2009/10 HFM2 Promo starts and releases

Not mentioning all his mixtapes from 2003-20010 he was succesful out there that whole time the expectation can't be Platinum or better for you to be hot thats unrealistic for a rapper maybe a pop star but not rap back before 2010. ...Major tours songs with Em produced by Dre mixed in too.

If Gold is a flop then I will flop all day.
