Why is Lloyd Banks so unanimated?

[TheDarceKnight]

comparing the MF Doom audience to the Banks audience is apples and oranges..

there are exceptions to the rule, but the average banks fan(the majority) wants 24/7 instagram posts and all other kinds of shyt..there is no balance with them that actually involves music

i dont even think juelz santana records anymore, but everything he does besides that is what's keeping him relevant to the point where what we know him for is an afterthought..

I do agree that he needs a balance to please these new era of fans, but if his bread is stacked to the point where he can play the game the way he does now, then more power to him

yeah I don't disagree with anything you're saying. I guess I wasn't really trying to compare audiences for DOOM and Banks. I was just trying to point to someone that isn't a very public person. Maybe you covered this, maybe not, but I feel the kind of msuic Banks makes does lend itself towards a little more fan interaction, and I bet he could get a lot more benefit from it.

To be honest, a lot of Banks demeanor reminds me of someone on the autism spectrum. Like if he wasn't such a man whore I'd think he had asperger's syndrome. I don't think he has it, because people with asperger's are usually not very good at picking up on social norms or social cues, but again harping back to the fact that he's fukked hordes of women and seems pretty normal when he actually does speak, he doesn't seem to have those problems.

That's because Snoop is actually talented. and even when laidback, is fiercely energetic.

However, Banks is still. Like a still can on the sidewalk. Just there.

At some point, y'all will figure out that charisma is a "got it or don't" affair. It doesn't have anything to do with being 'loud' or not. It's about energy/enthusiasm. Most of these loud n*ggas you swear got charisma have no charisma and, like Banks, are still on the street. Put Kendrick and Cole in that box too.

Your rep is -2970 which means you consistently talk bs. Banks is clearly a talented rapper, and whether you like him or not, to call him trash is nonsense

I'm a huge Banks fan, and this isn't meant as a slight at all. But tons of people are introverted that don't come across like he does. Introverted people have lots of false stereotypes about them. Like people think extroverts are shy, or don't like to be around big groups of people, or aren't good at public speaking, that they're quite, or more creative---none of those are necessarily true, and being those things doesn't even make someone an introvert.

Who knows?

you touched ion an interesting point............the amount of undiagnosed mental illness in the hood...........................shyt is sad that a lot of these people dont get the treatment to express themselves fully.............for example a lot of people with asperger syndrome are silicon valley entrepenuer ( it does lend itself to this)

 

[R=G]

I don't care how he feels about fame. If he's not enthusiastic about his music why should anyone else be?

What? You want him out there jumping around like Silk the Shocker and Master P?

 

[NasirJr]

Understand that 50 likes to feed his nikkas and he keeps them shooked at all times

rep means nothing. unless you're 12.

Lloyd Banks has 0 classics: albums, tracks, everything. His entire career is an afterthought.

I think there are a lot of mental issues in the hood..

And i think your right, but for different reasons..

Society is inflexible when it comes to people who approach social interactions from an "abnormal" perspective...

I dont think its that..he just is in an era where the music cant speak for itself anymore...

nikkas want the music and everything else..which puts a nikka like banks in a bad position...

You really gotta be on 24 hour alerts with fans..from the instagrams etc...

Everyone not built for it

Real shyt

this is clearly a case of a poster speaking on a rapper he doesn't listen too. I highly doubt you've heard all his albums/tapes to make this claim
