what if Loyd Banks had the IT Factor to match the smooth flow ?

When G-unit first came out. Banks had more charisma and swag than Juelz. Streets was rocking with him and the unit harder. He was the breakout star of G-unit






Which is exactly why he went on to sell millions and have plat singles. Banks is just lazy and doesnt want to be a star like that. Its not that he is some dead fish.

Banks has bodied Fabolous on every track they've done together. Fabolous is has no where near the lyrical dexterity of Lloyd Banks. foh.

Act like u never heard Fall Back brehs:why:....jayz and fab are 5 times as charismatic as Banks on the mic,and prime hov was 10 times more witty with the ability of spitting game and real shyt:blessed:....fab slightly better in that dept.....they equally as boring in interviews with jay getting a pass bcuz he has made hinself into a larger than life figure THROUGH his raps....u get on a certain level people hang on your words bcuz of who u are has them :krs:,jays raps have given him that ability.....Fab and Banks havent so cant be compared in terms of personality....but yeah if banks had more charisma with his RAPS he'd be Fab....if he had more charisma in interviews as well we would ask the same questions we ask about Fab..."why isnt fab bigger:patrice:?"....u gotta talk a little shyt and toot ur own horn in this business...i like banks old school approach but old school cats wasnt against shyt talkin and hyping themselves up musically....nikkas aint just let the music speak for itself like he talkin about,not all of em.

And obviouslh u need the music to back it up,and neither fab or banks has it co sitently in em to make all time great records....fab at least got a few all tiime classics under his belt:mhman:

Only thing hold him back is tyle of production. When he went to modern production on HFM2..start it up/B.B.B/Dont deserve you...he got Major play.

Dont deserve stayed in rotation on chicago stations. They still play it till this day.

He just seems to stay with the grity/boom bap shyt. V5 is what modern banks production should sound like

clarity is banks, only and main key issue.
past that,..he showcases a high level of skill consistently.
a lot of emcees never ever come close to consistently being at as a songwriter in this gen.
if his clarity was top flight.
it maybe a different story.
