No doubt. I never fully got the lazy thing. I think he might even have more music than 50 has. He never cared about being a huge star but he’s always been fairly consistent releasing music. His mixtapes the past decade plus have all basically been albums too. Original production with hooks and song structure, etc

He called him lazy because he didn't do anything to promote his music. Wouldn't shoot videos, do interviews etc.

Meanwhile 50 was everywhere and grinding like a new artist.

Banks is a natural recluse it seems and those criticisms are still valid, but now he's content being an underground artist they don't mean as much.

Dope album, just would like some livelier beats from him sometime, and no, he doesn’t have to go full Westside Gunn and be on nothing but trap style beats :lolbron:

I think I like this more than the last 2 COTI joints for sure.

Still just a little frustrated that he doesn't get better production. Lyrically he's such a monster. The production is just kind if generic. Not bad at all. But just doesn't have as much personality as it could.

It feels stupid for me to even say it, because it's not a fresh take. But yeah. I love everything Banks is doing, I just wish he could link up with some other producers.
I’m in the same boat.. I know it’s HH but I’m gettin kinda tired of the generic grim beats

He has access to Alchemist, Harry Fraud, Havoc, statik selektah, etc but he dont go to them.. it’s obviously probably cheaper to go the route he’s going so I get it but damn

I still feel like Doe Pesci and Beat Butcha did these style of beats better.. I wonder why he stopped working with them
