Lloyd Banks is a perfect exampl of a rapper who played CHESS not checkers in RAP / HH

[AvariceLife]

I don't know about all of that. He hasn't dropped an album in how many years? It just seems like he's been complacent, like his fire is gone. G Unit went from running the game years ago to being a non factor.

 

[Long Live The Kane]

That nikka must suck at chess then...prolly would've been better off playing Connect 4 or some shyt...cause far as I can tell he ain't really do shyt but ride 50's wave, brick his 2nd album, get dropped from Interscope, and then fall off into random NYC mixtape rapper obscurity

[WickedGames]

what's your definition of a "golden child"?

50 always seen him as a special talent and put faith in dude early.
Not the same way Ross for example leaves someone like Gunplay in the back to create his own buzz

 

[BlackDiBiase]

not really.

Lloyd lost most of his fans when the g-unit wars where going on with everyone this dude was quieter than a church mouse.

So whats all that big tough talk on records about, when he didn't even bat for his team. The Public lost interest in him ever since then.

 

[SoulController]

might as well play Mouse Trap or something fun cuz ol boy has had 1 hit in the past 5 years

To add to this 50 and Banks dont speak anymore. 50 has said he hasnt seen or spoken to Banks in months...

 

[Will Ross]

Not really

I dont know about all that

LLoyd Banks is an anti social guy that doesn't care for too much attention, with a shaky work ethic.

Considering he has those attribute, he has had a solid career.
