This song came out when I was 16 back in 04’. It’s stuck with me all these years and I’m 35 now. Banks was a real spitta. That man deserve his flowers.

G-Unit Shady Aftermath era ; Dr. Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent, The Game, Obie Trice, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, D12, Big Proof, Tony Yayo, Stat Quo, Nate Dogg, Busta Rhymes
I really didn't listen to much music outside the 90s, but Banks caught my ear. I actually bought this album and enjoyed it. Banks definitely deserves more props.
@@rossheely3219 sure. "MC Eiht is a rapper from LA. He was in a group called Compton's Most Wanted. Banks used the his name "Eiht" because it sounds like the word "ate". In turn meaning he'll eat any emcee from wherever.
Damn that bar went over my head all these years I bought the hunger for more when it came out I got all the bars except this one. Thanks for the break down.
Man I got high to this song one time and felt like time stopped completely. The world looked like heaven and this song was life at the time. The beat the lyrics and the video made me realize how we are God's on a very small level. Man I was high af that day I'm 25 now with a beautiful daughter and I quit using drugs years ago due to paranoia lmao. I rep Philly 😎
Same brother, I only listen to a select few rap artists today when I used to listen to everyone in that era, b/c they was all mostly different and authentic compared to today.
From the whole group Banks wasn't the look at me type he was more of the keep your eye on me I'll move when you least expect it and I do agree with the other person said he maybe wanted it that way.
He was efficient for his solo songs, having fewer songs than group performances, considering the mainstream songs from him and G Unit. He complemented G Unit well.
lloyd a millionaire so wouldnt really say hes too underrated, theres alot of talented people with empty pockets but then again theres alot of untalented people who make shitload of money by being retarded
This video was so ahead of it's time and matches the song so perfectly. Banks flow and Timbaland's drums were on that cutting edge shit. Punchline King !!!
Back when G-Unit was on Top. The 90s & Early 2000s was the Golden/Silver age era when Music Videos had LIFE and COLOR and SOUL to them. When the Realms were touched by the Heavens(God) and Life felt like you were in another Dimension like Heaven on Earth.
22 year olds look like 15 year olds now he looks like in his 30s even tho he was 22 or 21 i know he's in his 30s now he look older than a 22 year old now when he was 22
20 years later and this still sounds better than most music these days
You are Soooòoò Right..,
nah, u just getting old.
Bro I know, you had to be alive back in those days to know how good times were.
This was real
Hell true 👍

This song came out when I was 16 back in 04’. It’s stuck with me all these years and I’m 35 now. Banks was a real spitta. That man deserve his flowers.
I know this song because of older brothers. Stilll playing it every now and then. Banks really connected the dots to this Timbaland beat!
You n me
Like was Broe
I'm 36 same age group high school years was awesome our era untouchable
Damn I was 22 and now I'm 42. Love the 90s and 2000s rap songs.
“Banks is cooler than the other side of the pillow”
This line has lived rent free in my head for 2 decades.
Banks raps are so satisfyingly calm, cold ice killer
Smooth AF 💯
That’s why he’s cooler than the other side of the pillow 😹😹
Ohhhhh oh!! Lloyd! Quoting Outkast “cooler than a polar bear’s toenails”. 🧊🥶
Yes
I love it that way how he raps.
Has to go down as one of the most underrated rap artists of all time...what a talent and what a album this was.
Absolutely
One of my top 3 fav albums of all time
Yea but Cuz lazy
He is a legend
Absolutely so underated
"only the green moves me, i got a clean uzi, a pair of gloves and a mask from the scream movie" i love the multisyllabic rhymes
Fucking Fire.... i always been more Buck fan, but this is my Fav Banks track, he bodied this shit....
@@thefatalveli1he is fucking beast and underrated
🤭
Buck can't touch banks when it comes to bars punchline and hits .
So if you're planning on popping off scheme smoothly!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Banks & Buck were underrated!!
buck
The flute in the chorus made this beat beyond perfect.
You're a flute
What a bunch of flute fuckers 😂
Definitely add to it
No fr
I was thinking the same thing! It makes the beat sound tropical.
Good music never dies.
Love this ❤
Kids and teenagers learn about lust
good ol' times man..
TH-cam is the closest thing we have to a time machine!
Once upon a time G-unit owned the rap game👊🏾
That was 2003-2008, half a decade
Same thing happened with migos. Used to be. Migos still dope though
@@Skatemike420 they got nothing on g unit tho
To me G-Unit owned the rap game when they were together
Best rap group of the 2000s. Easy.
"I got the patience of a high school teacher and a bright future. Why the f**k would i have a bomb on my sneakers" 💯🔥... One of the best oppression bars ever!
Huh😭😭🔥🔥😂😂
Take a moment to appreciate the beat everybody
timbaland my friend motherfucking timbaland legend
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lyrics are on point..😎
ziad oubari I could not picture any other artist on this beat. Top 🤚🏾
Timbaland is the greatest. Him, Dr. Dre, Swizz Beatz, Kanye West, and Scott Storch. Are my top 5!
It's a shame how criminally underrated this song and Lloyd in general is - he's one of my favorites and the most lyrical in G-Unit.
Banks was on fire!!! One of my favorite songs
2024 still 🔥🔥🔥
I miss this era of hip-hop
Neverstar-X me too
You mean the REAL HIP HOP?
G-Unit Shady Aftermath era ;
Dr. Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent, The Game, Obie Trice, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, D12, Big Proof, Tony Yayo, Stat Quo, Nate Dogg, Busta Rhymes
Why? 😂
The last era before it went to shit
I shed a tear bro.This guy brought so much to the game.He loved his craft as much as we did!
he still doing his thing just somewhat 'underground' cus most real rappers arnt appreciated in the mainstream anymore
Like Z-RO
At this time, nobody can fuck with G.Unit. They were THE crew of the moment! big respect!
🗣️Fear no one but Jesus 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
Why? Jesus isn’t scary. He is a God of pure love. Trust me.
I really didn't listen to much music outside the 90s, but Banks caught my ear. I actually bought this album and enjoyed it. Banks definitely deserves more props.
For rizzle...
@@berttsonchoke2680how old are you brother?
@Ishosped why does it matter? He can say what he wants too. Everybody always want control over everyone else
@@Kbannn I didn’t mention you so don’t get involed lil bro
Banks had some of the dopest beats
still has
Yeah he did and is pretty much 5th's only profitable mc on g-unit
Hollanders SuckADick lol what the fuck?Banks is top 5 dead or alive he is one of best rappers in the world!
bobby shmurda even got the hot nigga beat from one of his joints
UmadBro990 Top 5 is pushing it. Lets say he is average, not good but not bad either.
This beat is unique. I remember playing this song in the car with my friends right after school. Great memories 😭.
Love this beat
I was surprised Timbaland produced this song
@@onmypurpose9075 wow
Never knew that
fr
One of Timbalands most unique beats ever. It fit Banks perfect and the tempo was gangsta yet had radio appeal.
Lloyd Banks was the best rapper out of G- Unit. Whose wit it??
50 percent says hold my beer 🍺😂😂😂😂😂😂
50 and Game better. Banks was/ is impeccable though.
Game wack stop acting like he ain't work all his hits came from fif@@RainWhenIDieKane
@@ZaneleMpalala If you think Game is wack you are a silly old G Unit head stuck in 2005 or ya breath stinks and you're an Eminem fan.
One of the best beats ever. It is so relaxing
Timbo
My friend used to fall asleep to this song
@@r0conscious Yes sir... one of the greatest to ever do it
@@ericb7776 DJ Akademiks produced this
@@neverhungryagain2187 the dude upper said it from timbaland
"My name ring each state, so you don't gotta go all the way to LA to get your MC Eiht." Still one of the hardest bars ever, imo.
Can you explain that bar to me please?
@@rossheely3219 sure. "MC Eiht is a rapper from LA. He was in a group called Compton's Most Wanted. Banks used the his name "Eiht" because it sounds like the word "ate". In turn meaning he'll eat any emcee from wherever.

Still 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lloyd banks the most underrated rapper of the industry back then 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

One of the reasons why this record remains Gunit best song of all songs!!! Nuff respect for Banks n Rick Ross da flyest
Soo many punchlines in this song👑
PLK
Timbaland beats still hold up in 2024. A banger.
Man I got high to this song one time and felt like time stopped completely. The world looked like heaven and this song was life at the time. The beat the lyrics and the video made me realize how we are God's on a very small level.

I love this shit yo

lmaoo
I believe Lloyd Banks has always been under-rated.
word up, imo he has more good songs than 50
Yep. He's a real lyricist too.
But 1 who belongs in G-Unit cannot be underrated. Always been respected. (y)
He wrote the hook of "In da club". He's an amazing lyricist he's wrote a lot for 50 and G-Unit.
Underrated? Please, this dude is trash. Always has been, always will be. But he always had the dopest beats.
I miss this era 😭😭
Man fr
Same brother, I only listen to a select few rap artists today when I used to listen to everyone in that era, b/c they was all mostly different and authentic compared to today.

Lloyd Banks is a underrated rapper. He dosen't get the respect he deserves
Lloyd Banks is that nigga. This has vibe right here. This beat is proper as hell!
Thanks to Timbaland for the beat.
timbalands partner danja did warrior pt2 :D
Sickle Stevens Danja did Warrior pt.2? Naaaw, Em had his "handz" all over it...
Jonathan Etienne yeah maybe, you can hear the shady sound in the beat lol, but i saw some where danja helpt the with the track
Sickle Stevens fights ghfjyjuofj
Most underrated rapper.never gets a lot of publicity but all his songs are fire
+Top_Notch_Sports Lloyd Banks is middle ground, man.
From the whole group Banks wasn't the look at me type he was more of the keep your eye on me I'll move when you least expect it and I do agree with the other person said he maybe wanted it that way.
+Top_Notch_Sports Banks is overrated, you people overrate him way too much.
Yeah I apologize for my ignorance
Banks is a punchline rapper like fabulous. They lack substance and real shit in their lyrics.
Listening to this as an adult.. this dude had BARS FOR DAYS. He went in on this!!
I just said this 😭
I’m 30 now
That’s all 50. Stop
Banks still one of the best
Fax💯
Lloyd Banks was one of my favorites in the 00s, he didn't drop much, but when he did it was always usually a hit🎶
I swear
He was efficient for his solo songs, having fewer songs than group performances, considering the mainstream songs from him and G Unit. He complemented G Unit well.
Those piano notes give this a bit of a West Coast sound. Love it!
"You think that bandana makes you look gangsta,
But all I see is a handkerchief"😂
I love that line
Cold Rhymes
Facts
Meaning game in that line
Why the FUCK did they think he had a bomb on his sneaker
Shout out to 50 Bulletproof. The game put us up on so much songs including this! Salute 🫡 💯
Hardest bars out of any g-unit member. This guy is too underrated.
I was 9 when I first listened to this song..I just turned 29 and this is still a banger. Timeless
This song never die!!!
Straight 2 Da TOP!
This Year!
I ain't scared of nothing but Jesus💯
straight facts
That beat is platinum and gold!

Same here my G!! I was 10/11 in 2007 and this shit was/is* pure flames and I even knew it
Downloaded the instrumentals. Best ringtone I've had in a while. Haven't changed it for 2 years+.
Yo banks is my top 5 of all time bars and punches.
high quality vocals, high quality beats. they dont make songs like these anymore.
This whole track is underrated especially the beat so smooth. 2019 anyone?!

When hip hop was still a good genre of music.. banks made a classic with this.. I remember this being number 1 on 106 n park lol
same! I remember 106 & Park played the mess out of this song and it was #1 for a minute...lol
Back when G-Unit was on Top. The 90s & Early 2000s was the Golden/Silver age era when Music Videos had LIFE and COLOR and SOUL to them. When the Realms were touched by the Heavens(God) and Life felt like you were in another Dimension like Heaven on Earth.
Nobody gonna do it like this era and the 90s . Nobody !
Thanks Banks, for giving us decades of classic albums, mixtapes, songs & features. I was 10 when this video came out!
Lloyd will always be one of the greatest in G unit
i cant believe he was only 22 here... 22 back than aint the same as 22 now lmao
22 year olds look like 15 year olds now he looks like in his 30s even tho he was 22 or 21 i know he's in his 30s now he look older than a 22 year old now when he was 22
Its crazy how shit so different
22 was like 35 back then even all youngs they where more testosteron high level mindset

Banks is a monster lyrically, 50 better go get banks back! They would straight kill the game again!
