He still packs venues and gets money touring. On IG he still posts pics of sold out shows. He has a fan base that will never die.

[@FayesFood]

He grew up, has a family, stopped smoking weed and retired from the music industry. Good for him. He gave us plenty of great music to live off of. I'm a huge Banks fan and there are times I find hidden songs out of nowhere. Dude's a legend. He's definitely underrated according to mainstream definitions. He's been working since 18 years old. Let him enjoy his retirement. Forever the PLK.

The biggest problem was that he wasnt putting a visual to his music and he wasnt putting them on easily accessible platforms.

FACT'S!

[@josemaciel4291]

BIG FACTS

[@bottumthedreamer8735]

Basically Lloyd Banks did not fail hip hop, Hip Hop failed him

[@alextineo4614]

And also to 50 didn't want Lloyd taking his shine.

[@alextineo4614]

And so did 50

[@bottumthedreamer8735]

I don’t know about that . 50 actually would push Lloyd to do more. 50 would claim He was one of the greater lyricist in the game in interviews or promo runs. He put put Lloyd on a song with Em when he was nobody. I can’t think of anything factual that 50 did to block him.

[@alextineo4614]

Ok so how did hip hop fail banks? Just a friendly discussion no hate or beef.😁

[@bottumthedreamer8735]

Alex Tineo its mostly from the people not giving full support on his music when he drops. It frustrated him but Lloyd plays a part in that too. Losing music to groupies, supplying music with no promo, vids, drops, promising music and never come out. But from a hip hop standpoint, he gives top tier quality, lyrics are impeccable. Top 5

RKPCH Reactions! Yeah it looks good but that doesn’t mean shit. It ain’t much to lease/rent a car. Let’s say he did buy it, a Bentley in the hood....you still live in the hood......stupid money move. Buy some properly and make your money back and some.

As a Banks fan I really appreciate this video. He's still underrated

[@g-unit8478]

"u looking for a group to drive, you aint getting nothing but your french fries oversized". that line completed hip hop forever.

[@hiphoponeworld]

Im from Sweden and i grew up listening to Banks, all those old mixtapes are still on my playlists even tho I listen to new rappers as well. If you ask me Banks is the best rapper ever, I can't think of anyone who is better lyrically. Only thing that happened was that he kept the same style while mainstream hiphop changed and thank god he kept doing his thing and gave us so much to listen to. Love you Banks

[@DRWRITER08]

Deacon Frost aside from his nice lyrics and bars , his flow is really crazy. You have rappers that are robots who just can rap with no flow whatsoever. Banks flow is what separates him from other rappers 💯

He not a leader. 50 wanted banks to take the lead. He would've been cool if game took the lead. Somebody anybody so he could go do his thing else where. But in the end Game messed it all up. Banks got to relax. Point 👉 bobby shmurder song was better then the Lloyd Banks song but he felt they didn't even spin his shit. They didn't but it wasn't good tho. Like 50 said he had a buz and run with beamer Benz etc... Song and didn't do shit. He just fell back like... Ight I'm not finna keep Tryn to push u to take the lead....
