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

[Sonic Boom of the South]

I appreciate him doing this his way, but this is a very, very boring album with terrible beats. Clearly people seem to like it, but I'll never understand how this stuff gets out of the studio.

Exactly

AOTY

This album has quotables for days. Every time I listen to it I pick up another dope line. I really think if banks voice was different he’d be up there with the likes of Nas and Jay Z. Nas is my favorite rapper but his his latest releases can’t touch COTI even with the shytty mixing.

It's the reason why I love Banks, you gotta listen multiple times to catch the quotables, he no longer puts emphasis on the punches like the typical punchline rapper. His wordplay and flow patterns stand out like a mf.

I do sometimes wish he would flex lyrically on some more modern beats though. I wish the same for Nas. But I love both their music no doubt and I can play this shyt all day.

Album gets better and better with each listen

Food, break me down and pain pressure and paranoia are my favorite songs

They have done about 7-10 songs together, I think Food is the best of them all by far.

Banks verses on this is just as dope as Food, but Styles verse on Food is much better than his verse on Land Of Opportunity

Did 50 post banks album. I don't feel like going to go check. Just some curiosity on my part

For that matter, any of the G unit members post it


I'm sure this has been discussed. Pardon me

 

[RasNas]

Finally an album with bars

 

[CAVEMAN]

The bars are great, but I still cant really fukk with the bad mixing on this, the main reason I'm hopeful for remixes of some these tracks with big name features, is really just cause they'll probably mix it better that time

Can we please get a Deluxe Edition with better mixing and a couple extras?

Did we figure out what his "Big Announcement" was yet?

Let's not fool ourselves. Banks is definitely a goat but the problem is he's not popular. Not many people have the knowledge of his discog to even debate against it.

Not popular from 2012-2020 but was popular 2001-2011. Now he popular again in 2021 - lets see what happens

Styles verse is great on food but this good too
