When I was like 13 I used to tell my brother Lloyd was better then buck, my brother insisted buck killed banks on all the songs on beg for mercy. Look where they’re at now
@@rafaelperez6019 where they at now is irrelevant to your brothers statement back then Buck & Banks was the hardest in G-Unit. it doesn't matter Where they at now
@@rafaelperez6019 i still bump both of them, neither of them put out trash, where their both at now makes them hungry and their music gets better and better.
I remember first hearing Banks on Don’t Push Me, I was a sophomore in HS, and I thought he was so dope. I’ve been listening to Banks and keeping up with everything he’s dropped since 2003 now, almost 20 years, and he’s honestly one of my favorite rappers ever. I’ve been given him his flowers, I’m happy so many other people are too now finally.
“Sharpening my weapon to protect my gift, never seen a ghost in my studio if you catch my drift”🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Ain’t no ghost writers in banks studio. That bar was crazy
I always loved how 50 could write such great songs and his lyrics “paint a picture that make a blind man see” and then Banks has that word play that you can listen to for years and still catch new lines! PLK!
Nah I give it to Buck. He never got enough props. Early on Buck killed all of G Unit and no one has giving that man his flowers. Lloyd Banks got better than Buck that I will agree, and not that he was never nice. Yes, right now Banks is a flawless MC now but early on Buck brought it all.
Nobody can ever touch lloyd banks when it comes to word plays , story telling , similies, metaphors . He has true talent , I wish many ppl knew but the real ones know what time it is
This dude is the coolest, layed back assassin to every spit!!!!!!! You have to rewind a few times because his punch lines are so clever they go over your head. SICK!!!!!!!!
Banks at his prime, ran through EVERYTHING!!! Man if yall wasnt there for the G-Unit Radios, Money in the Banks, Big Mike, Kay Slay (RIP), man you missed out. Pure Classics. Sold out the back of the Trunk Mixtape era was a great time in hip hop.
Just had to hear this again….. Banks is one of the very few that been up to this platform on Flex freestyles and hasn’t spit a bar or a verse that he’s used from his album or up-and-coming album, he always has some new material!
Banks is just that guy when it comes to spitting. Not many mc’s left that make you sit up in your chair when you see that they have new sh*t out. To memorise Banks’ rhyme patterns is a wonder in itself. Salute 🫡
@@TheIcpfan23 The Fuxkin *DISRESPECT Is RIDICULOUSLY BLASPHEMOUS* WHY? BECAUSE YOU SEEMINGLY INTENTIONALLY LEFT CASSIDY(THE PUNCHLINE 🏆) OFF YOUR LIST 🤔🤦🏾♂️
"only time I miss a step is when I skip one" and "come twice like sneezes" is so f***ing dope, love it. I still listen to his hot 97 freestyle with 50 and Tony Yayo all the time
If you don’t see Banks as one of the best then you don’t know hip hop. Nobody had punchlines like him during the G-Unit mixtape era, he killed every verse he spoke. The Banks Workout is one of the greatest lyrical showcases ever
Banks is absolutely fire and without question one of the best punchline rappers to ever do it, but Big L really made it a style and paved the way for dudes like Banks, Jada, Fab, Cass etc.
I saw Banks at Universal Orlando 2 years ago walking around with his family being a family man and was cool to see and I gave a fist bump and kept it moving .. Had my family and we were just both being dads and husbands . was dope
Banks is a lagend. He’s been consistently dropping bars and gems for more than 20 years. His name is up there with the best. Cats better recognize the greatness.
Don’t understand how he is not everyone’s favorite rapper. Been listening to Bank$ since day one. every drop, album or mixtape I’ve never been disappointed.
‘Flex only time I miss a step is when I skip one, grind now celebrate when the flip done, cool with it long as the outcome is income’ Banks aint miss a step he still crazy with it
This dude has carried me though many years. I dont know what it is about Banks- but he just delivers something that permeates my sou. When i start up my car- I always think..what Banks track ? Thats my mark of a dope MC
He ain't even trying n makes it look so easy that some might go over ya head. Rap comes natural to that man. Underrated. Unpopular opinion but man is easily top 5 imo
Lloyd Banks is one of the rappers that made me start rapping when I was 10 years old. 28 years-old now and the man is even better than back then. This is insane.
Same here bro, 28 yo bumping Banks since 02. When I don't know what to write, I put on a random Banks track/freestyle and the bars are coming out like magic haha. Keep doing your things man, you got a new sub!
Still my fave lyricist ❤️❤️ anyone know why so many tour shows are pending or cancelled ?! 😩 seeing him live is on my bucket list! Been a fan since I was 15 and I’ll be 35 next week! 💪🏼💪🏼
A Hip Hop legend in all aspects. Arguably one of the best emcees to ever grace the mic. I've been rocking with Banks for more than half my life and I just turned 33 this year. The new album has been on repeat, as expected. Salute.

@@bradenwright2586 True
Banks lines are just soooo deep, 95% of listeners only understand half of what he really meant... Underrated artist
If you grew up listening to rap in the early to mid 00’s you know this man is a lyricist
What a time to be alive

Didn't banks rap over this beat back int the day or was it just 50. If so how can i find it.
Straight big fuckin facts 💯
Yeah...had the roach spray bar
Banks is coming after everything he wasn't able to get under 50. But the ones that grew up in that era know Banks will always be G-Unit.
Banks was the hardest out the WHOLE GROUP
Nah dude.... Banks is still G-Unit. Banks and the unit needed that break
Lol he not he done

G-Unit had been done long ago. Banks has put out much better music after G-Unit.

Banks is the Kobe Bryant of Hip Hop. The most refined skillset there has ever been.
About time flex got a real spitter up there. A legend too.
“Who wouldve thought clout chasing would have the streets switching” 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Most underrated rapper.
I never clicked on a video so fast. It’s so effortless for the PLK 🔥🎧👂🏾🤯🤯
COTI 2 might be my fav rap album this year. Even over Kendrick, Lupe, Pusha, Denzel, Joey, Conway, Benny. This year been crazyyy
Cap,cap, cap. Not over kendrick never
@@shaneali7389 a joke kendricks album was MEDIOCRE for him HORRIBLE if it was anyone else
pusha album was VERY good i put them neck and neck
@@shaneali7389 definitely better. Great album but this mf was spitting in this album. You have your opinion we have ours.
It’s my album of the year but that Kendrick album garbage. No replay value at all
Lloyd Banks is a very rare case of a rapper getting better with time, he is aging like fine wine.
he is better on his older work but is still good.
Rare and appreciated.
I like how banks just stares at the dj like O you didn't know this was going to happen?
“You buggin” and tuggin on 2 straps they both Chanel” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Was sick when Kobe died/ laughed when Oprah fell!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 Thanks Banks .. We needed that. On the most classic instrumental too..
Yall hear this before, but I gotta said it again… Banks the most underrated rappers of all time!
Lmao....comment and name
Noo
I didn’t think so before. I now know this is fact.
Ransom is the most underrated
Ain't no such thing as underrated, those who know him, hold him in a high regard
One of the best freestyles of all time. Been a Banks Fan since the P.I.M.P remix 🔥 🔥 🔥
Damn excellent!! It be sounding like he gon mess up, but he never does!! He a cyborg!
Banks has been providing Upper level Bars N Punches for so long just the thought of him Rapping on Any platform is Pure Inspiration!🙌🏾💯 PLK👑
