Back before The Unit was The Unit, I remember being so impressed with how easily Lloyd Banks commanded 2Pac’s “Can’t C Me” beat, I actually ended up buying The Hunger For More. Read the rest of this entry »

If you’re hindered by a certain problem that can’t seem to be shaken, wait it out. More than likely, 50 Cent will be there to solve it before you know. Yes, instead of limiting himself to simply helping Hot Rod, the rap mogul is now trying to solve all the world’s headaches and taking on a prominent issue among the youth – bullying – by penning a new novel.

Young, disrespectful, vibrant and immune to any rules the establishment set forth before them, one could make the argument the early 2000′s G-Unit and 1992′s Bébé’s Kids were one in the same. Read the rest of this entry »

Whether you love or hate Tony Yayo, he’s giving everybody plenty of reason to pay attention to him as the apparent designated driver of G-Unit for now. Taking it back to the days of “So Seductive,” Yayo and Fif are poppin’ bottles in the club, joined by their newly appointed labelmates Shawty Lo and Kidd Kidd. Banks, where you at my G?

G-Unit 2K11 is a far cry from the gaudy roster 50 Cent brandished in 2004, but for now, they’re content with visibility being their voice of promotion. Tony Yayo is leading the charge on a down-south inspired 808 joint, which is fitting seeing that their latest signees were born with the dialect. Read the rest of this entry »

Curtis may kick it with DeAndre but Marvin knows who to stand next to get influenced by that “Evil Flame” spirit. Young Based God gladly accepts all of Tony Yayo’s bitches in exchange for some of his undeniable buzz to get Gun Powder Guru 3 blazin’ in the middle of the street. Read the rest of this entry »

In the military, when the top-ranking official of the operation is rendered incapable of doing their job, the next in line steps up and fills the slot without so much of a eye blink. The G-Unit battleship has posed a similar situation in 2010. Although General 50 Cent is still very much in tune with the rap world, he has come to a stage in his career where spitting rhymes isn’t his primal focus. Leave it to Lloyd Banks to all but obliterate his solo hiatus by clearing out car lots with his monster single “Beamer, Benz Or Bentley” and simultaneously renewing the interest in his camp’s brand in the process.

If you weren’t satisfied with “Celebrity” – Lloyd Banks‘ previously leaked Hunger For More 2 track featuring Slim Shady and Akon – this one should feed your appetite. An arousing iTunes Bonus Track that sounds like it didn’t fit on Recovery and was handed down to an easily-pranked Banks, this building badge of Boi-1da-produced braggadocio bounds and gags all the ladies these two gentleman had lagging the past and leaves them left lonely in Lamborghini smoke.  Read the rest of this entry »

The race to deliver weekly non-album tracks was sorta derailed by an ankle sprain due to studio rendezvous with Kanye. But as the November 23rd date for H.F.M. 2 (The Hunger for More 2) approaches, it seems like Lloyd Banks is ready to resume what he started with the “Finish Line.” Experimenting with a new sound, new flow and varied content define this week’s offering so let it be known that Blue Whateverdays is on and poppin’, once again.

Instead of just handing Lloyd Banks his well-deserved Gold plaque for “Beamer, Benz, Or Bentley,” Curtis and B Rabbit go all Ashton Kutcher and make the hottest member of G-Unit believe there had been murmurs of him saying he didn’t want Eminem to make an appearance on his third album, Hunger For More II. It’s questionable whether or not this was staged, but it’s pretty good nonetheless.

What’s also funny is the fact that Banks has two more hit singles than his boss and doesn’t have to do songs with Soulja Boy or Lil B.

Playboy Banks probably smokes so many trees, there’s no distinction between a Friday and “fried day.” But we’ll excuse his tardiness as long as the quality on his mid-grade offerings remain equally as high. While there’s never been a clear understanding why charged and soulful melodies like the one heard on “King/Do My Thing” took a backseat to repetitive 808s on the East Coast but doses of nostalgia are always welcomed at any given time.

50 Cent is the greatest villain Hip-Hop has ever seen. In his eyes, hate was love and he embraced the fact hate was the common feeling associated with his movement. He thrived in the role of rap’s most vocal bully. During his prime, that hate garnered respect. He was commercially successful and is still one of the main reasons why the mixtape game is such a vital lifeline in Hip-Hop to this very day. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s pretty obvious these two only collaborated because their mothers had affections for double L’s, but the summer needs heat and there’s definitely some friction being discharged from this bomb. Given the song’s subject matter, we all can assume a zesty video full of swimsuit models is the works next. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s good to see Banks is taking advantage of this single. While it’s not necessarily my favorite song in the world, I’ll admit it is catchy and Juelz does his thing with his guest slot. Plus, you know you’ve got a pretty hot record (at least in NY) when your colleagues begin jumping on your record and adding their own three item wishlist. Read the rest of this entry »
