    Former G-Unit rapper Lloyd Banks dropped his first proper studio album in over a decade last week. Titled The Course of the Inevitable (or COTI for short), the project serves as the long awaited follow-up to 2010’s H.F.M. 2 (Hunger For More). As loyal G-Unit fans rushed to consume the 18-track project, they were likely searching for any reference to G-Unit boss 50 Cent.

    Banks wanted to be a rapper like big daddy Kane, rakim, etc. he never wanted to be a superstar he just loved music. He never wanted to beef with anyone or be a solider just spit from the heart. That’s why everybody think his career a disappointment because they know the talent he possessed

      I totally disagree. All the camp members (most especially Yayo and Banks) supported 50 when he decided to beef with every artist in the industry. They were loyal to the soil, and 50 turned on them as soon as he realised there were going to be these giant commercial successes just like he was. Plus if we’re gonna call Banks lazy, then 50 is a self destructor. He had no business getting in an album sale race with Kanye back when Ye was hotter than fish grease. Instead he make that stupid decision and his music career was never the same again, he had no choice but to pivot into other avenues.
