Banks was only successful in the past because he had 50 behind him and he was riding the wave. He doesn't have star quality or THE X FACTOR and now 50 isn't behind him we can see what his like on his own. Does he expect someone else to push him and motive him and do the work, or has he been there done that and doesn't care. Who knows.

But he does seem quite happy doing him and you can't blame him look at todays mainstream.

2000- 2007 he didnt have that cookie monster voice, 2011- until now theres barely punchlines

He still can't reach to next level. He ain't no Killer Mike on the tracks. Only the HOH tracks I like about him.

so many stupid shyt is said in this thread that I don't know who to quote

Banks is not lazy. He's one of the most consistent mcs in the game. He's dropping dope ass mixtapes (that sound like albums) on regular basis like no other rapper even though he's always touring around the world. 50 association is hurting him now more than helping at the moment.

Releasing rap albums isn't as easy as some of ya think especially with the way record sales are falling nowadays.

how come? I do believe it was Rotten Apple, you got my house which is single worthy then you got songs like my glock, victim of society which are album material. You cant waste a Eminem and Timbo beat on a mixtape

I dont care what anybody says, Banks dropped the best album of 2004 which was one of the last great years for hip hop

He did fall back from the punchlines something serious but still makes overall good music

One of the very few artists who I can say I copped all of their albums

not a banks "fan" in the least bit, but for anyone to call him "lazy" makes them look foolish.
