At first I wasn't feelin the intro but after catching all the lines that shyt is piff. Compensate is piff.

Hunger is :scust:
Already Made is :blessed:
Repitition is :blessed:
Shooting Star is :blessed:
History is :blessed:

Not a big fan of Owe It To Em or Another Episode but this tape is still piff. Still not sure where to rank it tho. It's definitely piff but no songs I rank as high as Keep Up, House Pride, My Flight from FNO. Maybe it's in the top 5 of his mixtapes but right now I don't think so. Which is no slight to Banks his catalogue is insane. So slept on. If you like rappers who can actually kill a verse then Banks catalogue is top 10 at least.

Also still not sure how I feel about Banks new style. He obviously leveled up his rhyme schemes ONCE AGAIN which is crazy in itself but I feel like he sacrifices the flow a little bit for it sometimes. There's a few parts where if there was just a few less words I felt the shyt would've been smoother. Like songs like No Love and We Remain aren't as insane with the schemes but the flow is ungodly smooth.

I still fukk with this version of Banks though, still catching shyt in the lines even though I've been bumping this every day to and from work. When Banks put that album out in definitely supporting and even if it bricks it's not too bad in this climate. If he can at least do Budden numbers and chart I'll take it even tho I'm really hopin he can pull another single out of nowhere again and make a little noise.

Two Banks mixtapes in the span of a month, shyt is crazy brehs.
I feel you when you say the flow lacks a little when theres too many words but shyts still fire, he still manages to have a A1 flow though

brehs...just try to rank banks mixtapes . And as you jot down each selection, especially the older ones actually take a look at the mixtape and listen. lol it's hard as fukk. probably impossible. To me the top 5 in this list are interchangeable

1A AONFNO
1B AONLIU
3 Halloween Havoc III
4 4-30-09 (Remember, this has Reborn, Me & My Strap :banderas:, Have it All, The Raw, New Era, I Get Around, Life Goes on etc)
5 Halloween Havoc II
6 v5 (Remember, this shyt has Only Human, The Get Back and No Escape...BANGERS. The flow on We remain and I Do? Madness!)
7 The Cold Corner
8 Return of the PLK
9 Cold Corner II
10 Mo Money in the Bank 4
11 Mo Money in the Bank 5
12 Halloween Havoc
13 V6

The edge goes to the newer tapes because of the sound quality. Take away that shyt and its very difficult to rank.

4-30-09 is the tape that single handedly turned be into a banks fan again

Brehs...take a look at that list. HOMIE BEEN KILLING shyt LOW KEY FOR A DECADE :mindblown:

Na his flow is still piff it's just songs like The Pulse that I'd wish he'd still bless at least a few times. Flow on that is god level.

Fifty two weeks I've been focused on the color
Without the sight of it, I suffer, money green mufukka
Gotta separate my presence from the suckers
Can't be cracking under pressure, up the effort it gets tougher
Gotta problem, my bond is drama forever
I used to turn a blind eye to petty but now its all my pleasure
I gotta big old ego, dominates whoever
Holdin on to guarantees I made in life my promise came together
Claim you love a nikka alot well let me measure
Still gon be ontop of me knowing its hard times under the treasure
Ever second guessed the nikka, lets remember
Spent all my broker days schooling, think I fall out that class never
Who gon love you better, who gon fukk you better uh
She busy trying to be you, why will I want be with her
We dun drink so much tonight it be a blur
Celebrating all winter drunk dinner in the fur


Salute all my nikkas in the grave
Nikka keep your favors, we dont need them, we already made
Never been a minus on my grave
All I see is dollars, hang the fukk up you ain't gettin paid
Line of foreigns pull up in the scene
Millionaires and you rather be famous, what the fukk you mean?
Winnin more, will help your self esteem
M.O.B forever, nothing matters but the team

:ahh: Already Made goes too hard, that should be a single.



Got the discipline of a worker and the passion of a boss :smugdraper:
