Banks literally had ONE hit.
If he can recapture the magic of “On Fire”, I’d give him a listen.

Its funny when G-Unit will shit on an artist, then when the get the complete opposite reaction from that artist, they resort to the same lame ass excuse…”its the competitive nature of the game”, “ya know, rap is like a sport and we’re all competing”. STFU. Just make good music and let the fans decide if your music is a contender. LOSERS.

I think Kanye’s top 5 is 37 rappers long.

Why is 50 Cent doing press and interviews about Floyd Mayweathers personal business ? This dude needs a life for real

KRS said it best – “Rap is like a setup. A lot of games. A lot of suckas with colorful names…”

all kanye does is speak in superlatives. NOBODY ELSE would think lloyd banks is top 5. dude is the most average around.

Ppl still going out of their way to comment on 50 while he comments on others…he’s rich…your typing…like his music or not..period.

Banks is average at best, I mean you are in interscope and got access to one of the greatest producers of all time and you havent done anything memorable? Banks is a Memphis Bleek with better lyrics thats it…only 2 hits “On Fire” and “Bemmers,Benz or Bentlyes” and they had features on it. My

Banks average?
His flow > most of the game.
His bars > most of the game.
At one point, near the start of his career, I would agree he should flesh out his personal subject matter more but he’s done that with the Top 5 series quite effectively.
Plus, why are you hating on 50 for being interviewed? Really? That’s how low y’all come to?
Banks had more than 2 hits. Most hits have features. Let’s look at his competition, say Game, what hit did he have that did not have a feature?

wasn’t karma ft avant and im so flyyy… a hit two i think he has more than 2 hits

I didn’t know he was still making music…or that he was alive……
Junior said this on September 10th, 2010 at 1:14 pm
I like how you dumb asses act like having a hit is all that matters. 50 is able to keep G-Unit alive, and employ a lot of people. You can’t hate on that.
Most of you young fucks weren’t around when Banks was winning mixtape awards. All you Big Sean dickriders. Before blogs existed, Banks was king of the mixtapes. He could rap his ass off.

Banks top 5???
He’s decent but i could name at least 50 Emcees better off the top of my head. He’s not even top 5 “relevant” right now, lol.
Musikfiend said this on September 10th, 2010 at 1:44 pm
50 better mcs? Get the fuck out of here.
Cake was another huge single from his often criticised but slept on sophomore release.
james said this on September 10th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
Banks is cool. Kanye is exaggerating. What else is new?

Man Kanyes Is #1, Nuff Said.
Dennis said this on September 10th, 2010 at 4:40 pm
No, that is not “nuff said”.
What you people just said, is some of the most insanely idiotic things i have ever heard. At no point, in your guys’ rambling, incoherent response, were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone who read your guys’ comments are now dumber. Illogical, unaware, blind.
Hits? Banks needs to make a song as good as “on fire”? Its called a fucking mixtape, holy jesus christ. At no point do you mainstream trashbags show that you can comprehend complex lyricism in any way.
Shake/Meka, you should really bring this page back to the top.
Banks= Top 5. 50% of 2DB bloggers are corrupt.
Banks= Top 5.

Kanye may make shitty music, but the nigga atleast still knows what dope hip hop is, which is probly why he still makes such dope beats. P.L.K.—> Any Nigga you youngsters think is ill.

If i put my fave rapper in the same sentence as p.l.k. It would be a disgrace.
TheThought said this on September 10th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
hits don’t make a good artist you retards. Based on that souljah boy would be a great lyricist since he’s had a few “hits”.
Lloyd Banks = PLK
