G Unit - 50 Cent is the Future

after that the Shady/Aftermath stank compromises the uncut dope.
What's the consensus on Lloyd Banks' best or grimiest work?

Dope! Thank you so much @Big Mel !!!
I appreciate all of that a tonne and I'm going to check those. Thanks again!
I just listened to all of Halloween Havoc 3.
That project is near perfect. To me it's as good or even better than Cold Corner 2.
I can hear it with not thinking one line is bad. So many dope rappers have questionable lines. For many reasons. HH3 has none.
Ppl told me whole Rotton Apple is great. I feel 10 tracks off it are perfect - which is an album in itself.
Hfm - on glance listen has these sing song G Unit choruses - but I will forgo my skim listen and listen to it all.
And I'll check the G unit tapes. The ones mentioned all have branded art with the borders which is dope product differentiation.
I will say for absolute certain while ppl are waiting on COTI - Cold Corner 2 and Halloween Havoc 3 are pretty much perfect mature hip hop albums.
I am excited to check what you guys recommended here.
Again Lyod Banks is a top top tier hip hop artist. Ppl claim goats all the time.
Banks actual music is near perfect.

FNO, Cold Corner 2, and V5 are my favorite bodies of Banks music post punchline phase.
And obviously if we’re talking super early Banks, I love Hunger For More, and Money In The Bank 2, 4, and 5.

Rotten Apple was all over the map, not very cohesive, and a mixed bag...but in hindsight it’s crazy that an album with so many songs like that was considered a commercial release in 2006. I’d even add Get Clapped, the title track, NY NY, and Make a Move to your list.
No doubt. 20 tracks is 2 albums. Even illmatic was around 10.
My extracted list from Rotten Apple is
Cake
Ny NY
Change
Stranger
Get Clapped
Gilmore's
You know the deal
Help - cause it sounds good
One night stand - same
Gonna check out the others you mentioned. Thank you.
Dope, can't wait to listen to them
Dope. Thank you. I've got a solid list to check now.

There should be a zip with all the g unit radio mixtapes
But as far as unit tapes, get:
Automatic gunfire
Return of the body snatchers
The lost flash drive
50 cent is the future
No mercy no fear
Gods plan
the first blue Friday and second blue Friday series is heat. I can tell you which songs are on the first one cause it’s kinda unofficial(I got some additional songs added on there nothing much tho maybe 2 or 3 tracks extra)
as far as grimey work, v5, cc1 and cc2 which you already have,Halloween havoc 2 and 3, 4-30-82 aka reborn and then the AON series
My fault none of this is in order

Man just get all his official tapes. I’m not crazy about rotten apple tbh and big withdraw is alright but not worth keeping imo I still recommend you listen.
All his tapes are on datpiff and worth a listen so I’d start from the beginning and just go in order then listen to the unit tapes cause it’s really just a verse per song so it ain’t as important but you’re gonna hear some piff regardless
Thank you.
Thank you for both of your replies. I appreciate all of that. It's inspiring to see so many real fans of Llyod Banks. That's what's up. I'm going to try to listen to all of it.
