Been bumping this since it dropped, great mixtape/street album. Love the sound and the beats are dope. Banks just proved you don't have to sell out and copy whats hot and have a feature on every track to make a dope tape and he kept it New York.

But i hope he puts out a mastered no dj version with out Drama (i luv the sound of my own voice) and those stupid Datpiff tags.

How did I miss that G Unit was blackballed? When was this actually confirmed?
It wasn't confirmed but the handling of BISD and SK shows that they aren't behind 50. No matter how we think 50 fell off he could still do French numbers but they aren't pushing his album like that .

Here's where Yayo said they were getting blackballed http://www.rapbasement.com/tony-yay...unit-and-50-cent-projects-from-the-start.html

That T.O.S. album was doomed though when they thought "Rider part 2" was a good single....

I think they've been blackballed but that's mainly 50's fault for burning bridges... Banks and Yayo just guilty by association but Banks has been distant ever since HFM2 dropped.

Banks should use the Sha Money connect at Epic and sign with L.A. Reid and them.... If they give him the push that Yo Gotti has gotten, he'll be good but the difference is that Gotti is more business minded as he actually promotes his music... all Banks does is retweet fans.

Banks always had 50 in his ear forcing him to do what he supposed to do but its obvious him and 50 don't rock with each other no more. I see 50 promote Kidd Kidd 24/7 and even shouted out when Yayo's mixtape dropped.... nothing for Banks though..... his mixtape's not even plastered all over Thisis50

Exactly.... if people think the reason 50 hasn't dropped a new album is cuz of lack of buzz then they're crazy

Rider part 2 was horrible single imo, interscope wasnt really pushing TOS
