The solidifying of a lyrical legend appreciation thread

[Figdcotton]

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.

S basically you're saying they are a tier below rap legend?? Hahahahaha
I'm sure any nikka who loves the art and becomes a rapper will accept that anyday.. U can't name a nikka in the modern era better then the 2..

This was back when Banks and Cassidy were looked at as lyrical gods.

banks aint even a punchline rapper anymore...hesstill goes by PLK but hes progressed to so much more than that

his current body of work and sheer consistency shyts all over joey's let alone 90% of rappers

budden is dead nice but is so hit and miss with his song making ability

That's even being generous.

The difference between how Banks and other highly regarded punchline rappers of his era like Cassidy/JR Writer etc adjusted throughout the years makes me appreciate Banks even more. Those dudes still make music where they have to say "like" every other line to get a punchline off meanwhile Banks evolved so much past that, he'll say a punchline and you won't even realize it until 4 more listens and his wordplay is the best its ever been.

I think Banks can still blow and at least be Fab level with the popularity, he just gotta work.. easier said than done in his case but as long as 50 is in his corner I don't see Banks being as chill as hes been the past 3 years.
