This reminded me of NYC 98-99 Hip-Hop circa when X, Pun, Nore, and even Black Rob was on top...pretty nice:jawalrus:

Bout time ppl actually listening to dude and no one's complaining about his voice

Ever since he's been distant from G-Unit its like more ppl givin him a chance and are actually impressed

Dude just needs to drop videos to add to the momentum.. kill a couple more features and there we go

I'm surprised he hasn't been in a BET cypher yet

Gotta give the competition a chance. It wouldnt be fair

Ay know your role
Get anything out me? Know you won't
I hope my players stold ya hoe
Any more game Imma overdose
Jerry taught ? I'm suppose to coach
Money train on my poster hoe
Way too cool can't push a button
Banks around you got no control / relax and let her go
That girl want be bad don't let her yo
You still wanna keep that? Incredible!
That's negative feed back forever bro
I'm chasing greenbacks never notes
You only care about status
Probably see girls in the bed with her
High maintenance with no standards damn it's a shame you so regular
Don't hog the lane on my celluar
Don't be difficult we ain't dating
Better stay in line with the editor.
Hawaii 5 trips ahead of you
Oh you on cloud nine, she say jump and you ask how high
weekend fukk to a nikka like me
P.I.M.P til the day that I die

You buying her boots & I'm taking em off/ Keeping it here, then I'm fukking it up/ Turning her out & she spill her guts/ won't lead her on the feelings too much/ She think I'm the one but it can't be no us/ I met you a stray/ It can be no trust/ My lifestyle fills up your panties with lust/ Spare me the amateur stuff.. look
You happy now? Your homegirl found a way how to trap me down
Telling all your problems to grimey ears
Playing for the crowd that's exactly how
She's 10 times more nasty now
According to what if I asked her out
What if you would be here all alone? The nikka all the bad ones ask about
All black crusing my ? out
In my throwback four Classic bout
Sho nuff time I smash & count
Them whores ain't mine I pass em out
Ain't even got to ask me
My game catchy
No free rides here better get a taxi
Get off that "I know how this shyt gone go, chase a musician end up with athlete."
shyt I'm both
Got em on the track meet
Ran all day made love on a bad knee
Vixen with a ass and an avi
Victims from the pad to the valley
Fiction one said she ever had me
Listen I'm only speak once
I had since the 90's, switch rosters every 3 months
I'm the one they can't figure ouuut
You the one that they chump, chump!
You paying the bills and got another nikka in the houuuse
She ont' know what she want
You fukked around and got tricked by a crimnaleee
I gotta skip to the front
Ain't no turning back
She probably looking for a nikka now
Tell em hoes keep up

:fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire:
:whew::whew::whew:

He was always capable of putting out quality music but 50 was holding him back. This kind of output from him doesn't surprise me at all.


had nothin to do with 50. banks just worked hard on his craft and got better which is why we see the progression over the years. he went from 1,2 punchline to more complex shyt and better songs. that takes years to do and had nothin to do with this nikka 50, yall nikkaz keep paintin him as some bad dude. him n banks are straight.

FNO is fire tho.

I think HFM2 undersold while even still being undershipped.... but then again he dropped the same day as Nicki's debut album and Kanye.... but the promo for that album was terrible.. he needs a bigger push

I remember when they interviewed Nicki, they'd be like "so how does it feel to drop the same day as Kanye?" and the same vice versa for Kanye.. no mention of Banks but when they'd interview him, "how's it feel to drop the same day as Kanye and Nicki?"

but imagine a retail Banks album with production from the guys that did this tape PLUS Alchemist, Harry Fraud, Havok and Araab Muzik?
