Vado earned my respect on this one. He killed both of his verses. Pilot Automatic is piff. 38 spesh and meth both killed it too.
Dave East should be thanking Yayo for rapping one of his worst verses ever or he would’ve had the most skippable verse on the album.
This is true most def for the second coti too many songs sound alike. Facts!Voices, Invisible, Showers, Deceitful Intentions & Daddy’s Little Girl are some of the best Songs Banks has ever written/Made, to say he hasn’t shown growth is crazy, easily the best COTI album, I like the other two overall but they both have too many songs that sound too alike, this one sounds like a more varied but still cohesive piece of music
With that said, Banks NEEDS a good engineer, this album is better mixed/sounding than the first two but it could still be a lot better
He'll structure the tracks exactly the same. Even the hooks will be very similar. Hard to complain too much tho cuz majority of the beats are dope regardless.This is true most def for the second coti too many songs sound alike. Facts!
Who ever did the mixing on this album needs to get shot in the face.
Beg For Mercy did come out in 03 but it was so good it lasted to 04 for me then HFM in 04 to 05 and Rotton Apple 06....02-08 was a blaze of G unit it was all a blurr they were on top. They could do no wrong then T.O.S came out and Banks was the clear leader on that.... then 09 was V5 and then HFM2 great tracks...Banks clear the best in rap out of the group. I put him above 50 when talkin just Rap...but thats just meRotten Apple was 3 years after BFM
I still say they was tripping not just dropping Big Withdraw as an official album. It leaked but most fans didn’t even hear it. And with G Unit hype back then it still woulda went at least platinum. Scrapping it and delaying Banks for a year is one of the things that led to G Unit falling off way quicker than they should have. Along with waiting 2 and a half years to follow up Buck debut.
Yea Banks was def the best in the group but Buck wasn’t far behindBeg For Mercy did come out in 03 but it was so good it lasted to 04 for me then HFM in 04 to 05 and Rotton Apple 06....02-08 was a blaze of G unit it was all a blurr they were on top.

I take both their debuts over GRODT and Buck The World>>Rotten Apple
