Album was weak, no energy. He's been killing these All Or Nothing tapes tho, maybe too little too late, but Banks is making legit grimey NY hip-hop :ahh:

It flopped because not only does banks not have the personality to create interest among the general public, he basically do sent seem to care if he can get new fans or not...

G-Unit was about done but that whole new york mixtape punch line style of rapping also started to fade.

It's been long enough where he could make a slight little come back but I don't know. He's the last person on G-Unit to have a legit hit with Beamer, Benz or Bentley.

Album gave me a better nap than watching painting dry...one of the most boring listens in a long time...And I used to fukk with Banks on the first G-Unit albim and the mixtapes from early 2000s

I thought album was pretty solid and thought hands up would have been a hit. The beefs may have had an impact

Combination of things

You can talk about the run ending and whatever, but if it was good music then it doesn't matter.

The album was not a proper album. Any real fan knows that Lloyd Banks second album was 'The Big Withdraw' but because of Banks' stupidity, he had that leaked. Even though it is not mastered or complete (missing singles), that album to me is one of the best albums from the 2000's. People complained sometimes G-Unit was too mainstream, but that was traditional grimey NY hip hop that Banks made, and 50 let him make to release.

So yeah, the album flopped because it wasn't a good album and it wasn't the real album. It was a rushed album that was made so quickly because Banks lost all the original material.
