Artist: Lloyd Banks

Producer:

Album: Top 5 or Better Mixtape

Label: G-Unit/EMI/Capitol

After the sales disaster of Terminate On Sight, many assume that the G-Unit is finished.  The group’s buzz has certainly waned in the States, and as a result 50 Cent‘s upcoming album, Before I Self-Destruct, has yet to flash any release date possibilities.  Member Lloyd Banks‘s solo career, however is still up in the air.  Will he return to the critically-acclaimed form of his debut, The Hunger for More or that of its critically-derided follow-up, Rotten Apple?  Either way, the Jamaica Queens native has chosen a new, grittier sound and will showcase it on his forthcoming mixtape, Top 5 or Better. On Brand New Car, Banks’ voice is noticeably raspier and more intense (reminiscent of longtime Unit rival, Jadakiss).  Is Brand New Car an impressive ride, or just another lemon?  You be the judge.

I lost all respect for Lloyd Banks after Rotten Apple dropped, and this doesn't change my opinion.

Always sure to give me a good laugh, MH! Great job bringing back the old "Sister Sister" phrase-and I thought that quote died down once the ladies found out Roger was played by none other than Marques Houston! (lol)

But I digress...This is OK for what it is-a mixtape track. I'm giving it a 2 because it can go either way-though I more than likely see it going in the direction suggested by MH's comment above me (unless, of course, he smarts up and leaves G-Unit like the rumors say)

And this is why G-Unit is trash, lmao. I can't lie I usually enjoy Lloyd Banks, but wth is this? He's the last hope for G-Unit, and it looks like there is no more hope.

G-Unit needs to RETIRE while they still can, Open up a party-store or something! they should Just step away from the MIC! Before they go BROKE trying to save their career (whats left of it)

But, I do give 50 MAJOR CREDIT, Throughout his Career he managed to have had TWO major KNOCKOUTS! #1 - JaRule, #2 - Himself

This song sucks. But who made this beat? I don't see a producer listed...? The beat is garbage. This beat has the most simple drum programming I've heard in a long time. The beat sounds like someone just messing around on Fruity Loops for 5 minutes. Sorry for ranting, but that beat is awful.

This might be the last straw for me. Banks was one of my favorite rappers when G Unit dropped their 1st album. Everybody remember his "I wanna be the reason you Smile" joint? That song was mad hot and I still bump it to his day. But honestly, what is this??? The production is like a bunch of banging trash cans and the lyrics are sooo corny and boring. This better have been 1 of those songs rappers make on a rainy day when they're bored...

I love the name of 50s new album. I give mercy to those I know are trapped behind the bars of loyalty. I like banks. He reminds me of Kevin Garnett be4 he was traded from The wolves. We all loved him and hated the wolves for not trading him sooner. BANKS! DITCH 50! You don't have to go down with the ship. You better than this.

When I first saw the ratings I was like what's wrong with everyone, it's Banks, but now I know. WTH!! WTH!! WTH!!! Banks are you trying to ruin your career even more, we all remember Rotten Apple, if this is idea of a comeback, try again darlin. I'm with THEDRZAVOCATE....G G G G UNOT!!!! 2 STARS, ~(**)~

LOL... anything by 50, Banks or Yayo just turns into a G-Unit diss-fest. I think they might have to take a retirement from the Booth. All in favor, e-mail me. Until then (and I hope my G-Unit label friends are reading this....) please try harder, guys!

This is Wack, but 50 still is hot...just because the backpackers on DJbooth not feeling him anymore, doesn't mean the "normal public" isn't....Just look at last album sales...I need say no more! He definitely did better last year than your favorite rapper...unless your favorite rapper is Kanye. Lil wayne and Nas got it wrapped up for this year though...

Back to the track...The beat is OK, and the lyrics is just OK. I think Banks is nowhere near where he used to be. Oh well.

Blaze, did you see T.O.S.'s sales? Curtis sold half of what it sold because of the Kanye VS 50 thing. Sales also shouldn't make an artist, since that would mean Soulja's better than a lot of people! Banks said he could lyrically take down Nas on some interview (with all of G-Unit), but I don't know when that was or even where.

Wow G Unit is finished. They constantly rap about the same subjects money, cars, and hoes. I thought lloyd was one of the better rappers but i guess not. Maybe its because Olivia is gone or something. It seems like all the groups are history now in my opinion what yall think?

So Wow :), you just restated the term G-Unit? Don't understand the point (I mean, I do, but me just understanding what you MEANT to say and just keeping it to myself doesn't produce witty, clever, humorous snide comebacks like this)

I've liked said for a long time while everyone was still on G-unit's dick that they were whack further evidence an proof is before us. I mean this Lemon doesn't even give you some lemonade after wth Banks! Everyone that is or was under than umbrella has been deflated lately at least from what I've heard minus the GAME who has to be laughing to the bank.

This guys still has promise but needs to separate himself from G-Unit big time as that is going to be the death of his career. The popular thing is to hate G-Unit and anything to do with it. Anybody that can bang out an album like the hunger for more deserves some respect.
