I hate when people say this aint a rapper ANYWHERE who wasnt influenced by another rapper everyone looks up to someone at one point or another

To cite Fabolous of all rappers who BLANTANTLY copied Mase style who copied Big L and so on and so forth:yeshrug:

Yeah, but Fab's style improved with the Soul tapes. Banks still have that cancer ridden voice with good punchlines, but he can't pass that bar to make him a legend when he clearly wants to be recognized as one. I know he hates industry politics and all, but he gotta push himself a bit harder if he wants that recognition .

Ok its cool if you dont like his voice it is unique and if thats where you get off the bus cool but for me I dont care what a nygga sound like as long as them bars hit hard like sledgehammers thats all I care about.

He is the P.L.K. for a reason breh shyt it aint just a hot acronym breh this is real rap:salute:

Banks has been off the punchlines for the past few mixtapes , he'll throw a couple here and there. But it's not like he's going punch after punch after punch anymore

Banks also lacks emotion. He may be HOH, but they don't have as much impact as it should.

Banks voice is dope as fukk, its so smooth and listenable, real laid back.. it fits perfectly with his persona and content and he been off that punchline shyt

CC2 and FNO shyts all over anything Fabs put out in the past two years and I really fukk wit Fab, but Banks is 5x the MC, if anything Fab is the one still spitting punchline raps and theyve gotten pretty corny and is the "boring" one out of the two

that's a matter of opinion

unless we're talking his actual monotone delivery, which isn't debatable lol

but HEY, it suits the type of music he chooses to make.

reason why he never dropped that Gangsta Grillz that supposedly has a number of mainstream cats
