Lloyd Banks - Make It Stack
Artist: Lloyd Banks
Producer: Doe Pesci
Album: Cold Corner 2
Label: G-Unit/EMI/Capitol
I recently saw a credit card commercial where Jimmy Fallon literally “makes it rain” in the 30 seconds of shine Capital One gave him to speak. Is this what mainstream America thinks hip-hop culture consists of? Who do we blame for this? While plenty rappers will preach and encourage spending like you belong in the 1%, many of us (including rappers) are actually front-line casualties of the war on the middle class. So where do we go to #Occupy? Today, we have a perhaps unlikely leader in the “cash shouldn’t rule everything around us” movement as Lloyd Banks (ironic?) tells us to not fret about money so much. Produced by G-Unit go-to-guy Doe Pesci, Make It Stack is a darkly piano-laced track that could serve as the outro music to an X-Files episode. Providing a message like your financial advisor, Banks tells a story of the things he’s accomplished as a rapper, but subtly admits it’s not really what he’s aiming for in life. I think we can now officially expect the unexpected on Lloyd’s upcoming and currently unscheduled mixtape, Cold Corner 2.

I know its a mixtape record, but it seems like Banks just likes spitting freestyles these days (and calling them songs). I dig the effort, but its not memorable.

Lloyd Banks has been doing his thing lately. I'm feeling this beat and Lloyd's flow is on-point. I will be bumping this in the ride later! This is how Lloyd Bank's mixtapes are supposed to sound. Good work! BANGER STATUS!

This is as good as 'Shock the World'. Banks is releasing some great tunes.

This is really interesting. I never though I would hear of a rap song that looks at the issues of finances. I think it's really cool, actually. It shows that the genre can be (and is) deeper than what is played on the radio. I might even play the song for my financial advisor our next meeting!
