SUMMERTIME REVISIT: Lloyd Banks - Failure's No Option (MIXTAPE)

[A.V.]

Classic, one of the best project out last year

You wish ( fav track smile:
keep up
house pride
my flight
tour stories
lead the blind
daily betrayal

You have good taste

These are EXACTLY my favorite tracks of the album. The tracks I feel are the most complete, and of the best quality. Leave you wanting more, but don't lack ANYTHING. Like a good meal. I'd probably only add Reminder to that list, but the lineup you just named is like my daily commute playlist

Good shyt



EDIT: I long ago came to the conclusion that You Wish & Keep Up were probably the best 2 songs on here, so I FEEL your smiley usage, n/h The way both of them tracks START is fukkin ill...

This mixtape is amazing. Back in the G-Unit heyday I wasn't feeling a lot of what I heard from Banks, but that was mostly his jiggy-type singles and whatnot. Over the past few years I started paying more and more attention as he complicated his flow and matured in his lyrical content and topics. Still, though, through projects like CC2 and V6, which, I should say, are quality projects in their own right, I still felt like there was something missing. Like, despite the quality of those tapes that Banks was showing me something that he wasn't quite delivering on. When this tape came out, I initially slept on it because like I was saying I felt like Banks was kind of treading water on those last joints. So I didn't listen at first. When I did, I instantly knew that this was what I had been waiting for - easily Banks' best work to date and a real demonstration of potential fulfilled. Now I'm a huge fan, but a part of me worries that he won't be able to equal or surpass this masterpiece. A good problem to have, all things considered.

In short: co-sign. 5 stars. dap and +rep to OP.

Powerful thread. Powerful album.
