:ohhh:Where you hear this?

I found Yayo's "50 ain't rocking with me and Banks the same" comments weird cause according to 50, Banks ain't been rocking with him at all since 2011. And 50's jokin around with Yayo in the BTS video for funeral.

On Twitter Doe Pesci said Banks has a plan and he's gonna drop videos like a month or two ago.

If there is an issue it sounds like 50's frustrated with Banks and Yayo relying on him "I keep tellin them they gotta do their own thing", but at the same time he seems upset at Banks for not communicating with him:what:

Yayo and Sha Money always posting TBT G-Unit pics too.


I heard it on a Jack Thriller interview
He was talking about people just take what they hear and make they own conclusions but that he can't speak on they situation but that fans have to realize 50 & Banks are blood cousins and they can never just stop talking or what not ama try and find it breh


I also posted an interview a whole ago from the HFM2 time where Banks speaks on G-Unit and how they haven't broken up because they can't because it's a family, his mom & grandma will kick their ass if they are petty and stop talking

Edit*

This is the one Banks speaks on his loyalty

:dahell:

Oh yeah I remember that interview, Kidd Kidd always showing Banks love on IG too.

Yeah Banks and Yayo always saying that loyalty shyt but when 50 starts talkin he speaks as if Banks gone AWOL for no reason.

From the outside looking in it seems Banks is salty towards 50 for some reason any reunion depends on him.

I can't find the interview this is from an excerpt of another one he did I found it on boxden

TheKidJ: What is your opinion on the whole banks situation?

Kidd Kidd:
Yea man banks my homie, in terms of the whole situation man, uno banks doing his thing, he overseas, all round the world getting that paper, he working… And man im a fan of g-unit, so I be asking 50 the same questions like yo wheres banks at?? Uno man 50 doesn’t like been taking advantage off. I see everybody asking like where banks and people feel a certain way towards me sometimes cause they think I was signed to replace banks, but its nothing like that at all, people need to realise 50 and Banks are FAMILY like, my dude… family, they cousins!! I met banks a million times and its all love. But I cannot stress enough, people need to understand that most importantly I aint no replacement for Banks.

They close like cousins but not by blood though, Banks said he met 50 in a barbershop or some shyt and met Yayo first.

Nah I know they not blood cousins
I'm saying that's what Kidd kidd says

I just didn't write it out like I had it in my head

Point is this nikkas are family not biologically but they family just peep the interview I posted and hear it from Banks mouth, it's not like they can just stop fukking with each other, 50 goes to Banks' grandma's house and kicks it with his fam. Banks visits 50's grandparents often because that's family to him.

Like i said I just think it's not as serious as we think it is.

50 is the big brother with all the money
Yayo & Banks the lil bros trying to make a name for themselves and prove to big bro they can do it without him.

I've always had banks in my current Top 5, but DAMN did I sleep on this tape. It was a 1st day cop for me, and I found like 4 or 5 joints that were my favorites, and slept on most of the rest, but the 4 or 5 I fukked w the toughest, I knew word for word, every nuance of every beat, etc...Just recently revisted the tape and gave the WHOLE JOINT burn, and noticed something :lawd:


THIS IS A SUMMERTIME MIXTAPE, BREHS. :noah:

Banks known for his colder, darker, grittier tracks, plus his voice just sounds better over darker production. With this being a more mellowed out tape, it sounded good around the time it came out. But cruising the city, blasting shyt like Keep Up, House Pride, Pain In Variety, Reminder, Paint The Sky, You Wish, The Plague,...fukk it the WHOLE tape...shyt just SOUNDS & FEELS like summertime...cruisin the city faded, gettin money, fukkin w hoes, trying to get ahead in life...Them summer nights when the sun going down and you riding out...This THAT type of music. I'm puttin everybody I know on to it, from random bytches to my nikkas & cats on social media, and they all like ... "This Lloyd Banks from...:ohhh: G-UNIT?" :merchant:


This one of the rare times I can really say this may be a CLASSIC mixtape. If that even means anything these days. From the bars, to production, to the seamless transitions between songs, shyts just perfect. Any way you slice it. And Banks kick SO MUCH game, that given to the right young nikkas...you'd be a bad motherfukker if you some lost nikka who grew up on Young Thug and Soulja Boy :wow:

The only regret I have from this mixtape are no visuals, but if you been a Banks fan, you used to that.

F.N.O. > or = CC1 + 2

fukk it, this stands up against ANY of his former mixtapes, I don't feel that's a reach. :salute:

I kno my nikka @Trey0'5Blue2Gz feel me :myman:



CLASSIC. :wow:



CLASSIC :wow:



CLASSIC :wow:

Seriously brehs this mixtape is CLASSIC and is just a classic body of rap work released period imo. Admittedly I'm bias because I'm a big Banks fan but honestly FNO was just ridiculous, no skippable tracks with a bunch of classic tracks on it. Its impossible not to fukk with honestly like if youre a fan of rap the beats are piff and Banks rips every verse.

The worst track to me was The Natural and that shyt is still NICE.

Pain in Variety??

Keep Up??

No Surrender??

:whew:

Tough line up on FNO man Banks I could seriously list almost every track. Everything worked on that one man just gotta give Banks credit nothing sounded forced at all.

you wanna get to know me, but this records done messed ya views up
running from what you're used to, you came to a nikka bruised up
like you aint know I was sharp, must want a new cut
Managed to keep her bandaged so the plan is...

:whew: :whew: :whew:

Nah the worst track is definitely Cover Me. Beats corny as fukk, they both rip it, and I've been dying to hear Banks x Styles P (Both in my top 5) but that track wasn't it. Doesn't fit with the feel of the tape at all either, imo. :camby:


And I just peeped the "you wanna get to know me, but THIS records done messed ya views up"...might be a play/reference on "Wanna Get To Know You" (Feat. Joe) :ohhh:
