What are the best G Unit mixtapes?

[Crumple]

What are the best G Unit mixtapes? Specifically where Lloyd Banks shines if possible. But really a consensus.

Even solo G unit, 50, Banks Tony Yayo.


I just heard this, it's dope as fukk!

 

[Mr. Negative]

G-Unit 11.

But that's Yayo specific, kinda the opposite of a Banks mixtape. Still my fave, though



This one might be more what you're looking for.



Banks' Victory freestyle

edit: I just realized how... uncomfortable Banks looks holding a gun as opposed to Yayo

 

[Duke Dixon]

Not the best Lloyd Banks mixtapes but people don't normally list these. Still got some great songs and is closer to the way he rapped when G Unit was popular. Cold Corner 2 is probably the best Banks mixtape, its more like an album with original beats


Return Of The PLK

Specially the songs
5 and Better
I am Legend
Another 50


Mo Money In The Bank 4

Specially the songs
Take a Picture
Lamborghini Lloyd
70 Bars Of Death

The same channel has a bunch of G Unit mixtapes and songs. This playlist has a good mix of songs.


Edit: Something I noticed, Banks is on top form when he raps over a Jay Z beat.

Thank you so much for that.

I appreciate that research and your reply so much.

Real hip hop respect for the craft. Repped!

 

[Mac Ten]

Automatic Gunfire and No Mercy No Fear are my personal favs !!!


I liked the covers of 50 and the Unit holding those guns. U can tell that they was trying to bring back the street element in rap

Before HH4, return of the plk was best banks tape imo. This is coming from somebody who can recite word for word multiple songs from every banks project.

Mo money in the bank PT 4 is slept on too. This is when Banks changed his style from punchlines to more wordplay/lyrical style of rapping

 

[TheMailMan]

50 is the future ..and guess whos back if that counts

Respect. What do you think of the coti projects?

Since you did your research on Banks, can you rank what you feel his best albums and mixtapes are?

Rotten Apple has some dope tracks. Coti 1 is near flawless, I love Cold Corner 2.

I never heard any of the Halloween Havocs. I don't know where to start. I just remember seeing dope album covers and all tracks beats and rhymes sounding fresh, and gutter.

Yes, it all counts

The mixtapes have iconic cover art.

50 talks about recording Automatic Gunfire over a weekend, showing it to Eminem who said "When did you record this?!"

50 took what blessings he had and RAN with them! Crazy.

Coti 1 is Banks best album, period. All the Coti tapes are dope projects. I cant decide which is better between 2 & 3 but neither are touching Coti1.

It’s impossible to rank Banks’ mixtapes because all of them are great.

There’s no theme to the Halloween Havoc tapes other than the fact that they release around Halloween. You can start from anywhere.
