What's the consensus on Lloyd Banks' best or grimiest work?

[Crumple]

Albums, mixtapes or singles?

I love the sound of Cold Corner 2.
Like 10 tracks off Rotten Apple

That we all die one day joint.
I smell p*ssy - verse
Cold Summer
Home Sweet Home

I just skimmed through Halloween Havoc 3 and I m thinking it's a must cop.

What is his essential work?
What's his grimiest production

 

[Crumple]

Halloween Havoc 3 is incredible.

 

[Crumple]

Llyod Banks is one of the greatest writers in Hip Hop of all time.

On point. He's a real emcee. I can see how 50 would be uncomfortable around him.

50 is great too. But 50 I feel his energy went to t.v world. Good for him.

But when you check Banks music.

He's an innovator and the right way.

Casual rap fans would say Hunger for More
His core fanbase would say Cold Corner 2
I say AON FNO

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Think some of his Cold Corner stuff is VERY grimy

My favorite is V5 though.

My favorites Banks songs dropped on Blue Friday.

Oh & It's Shaved

LLLLLMMMMAAAAAOOOOO!

Brian Pumper is a G! Lol

 

[ROBEEZYKILLA]

Hunger for more for sure it’s a personal classic

 

[Crumple]

I'm going to check the above mentioned.

I feel he was a rare - actual emcee thrown into the big mainstream rap world - but he's a very, very serious and respected emcee.

People who write - actually listen.

He developed and is still developing his skill.

 

[Crumple]

Thank you everyone. Hunger for more seems to be one of the core albums.

I had Cold Corner 2 for years now.

Even the art with New York's Statue of Liberty crying is insanity!

Love to hear any other recommendations.

His upcoming COTI sounds dope as fukk!

BEST: Cold Corner 2, AON: FNO

GRIMIEST: Halloween Havoc 2

Thank you @A.V. !!!

Man I hope I didn't hear his best yet! I've been listening to Cold Corner 2 for years. I should be good tho. Most of his new work I like. I think the little I heard of Halloween Havoc 3 is perfect. So if you say part 2 is grimy, I'm hype for that! Thank you!

Big up Coli.

You guys put me on when I asked about the consensus for Juelz Santana and Jeezy's work.

So now TM101, 102, and Back like cooked crack 1-3 are destroying my summer! fukk a late pass! It's all fresh to me!!!

Cold Corner 2 is a masterpiece
