I've been rocking with Banks since I started listening to rap (I'm 22), and now that I think about it, there isn't an artist out there that I've been actually listening to longer than him. He's one of my all time favorites and I really think he will be regarded by coming generations as a legend when it's all said and done.

Would you say Banks is better now? Alot of people liked Banks when he was simpler with the flow and had dope and witty punches. Not the lyrical miracle multi shyt he do now.

He is better now as his last few mixtapes are better than anything he put out previously

Not at all.

Banks has a lot of struggle bars and lacks versatility.

Not at all elite. Fab level with the punchlines.

U clearly don't kno rap.. In 04-05 when banks n fab were at there commercial peak everybody was pushing for them to do a group or a joint tape.. Them nikkas are on da same level punch line wise.. And versatility?? nikka karma is as versatile as it gets

You misunderstood my post.

Banks is on Fab's level.

B-listers on a generous day.

The elite being guys like Jay, Nas, Rakim, Kool G Rap, and the such.

You're easily impressed.
