One funny thing is that I thought the song was about “sonning” niggas but of course it’s loosely about the passing of time. This sounds like it could have fit easily on the first Hunger For More (It’s sounds like Eminem could have been behind the boards too). The beat is a good backdrop for Banks as he describes how it’s hard to keep up with all the women in his life. Ryan Leslie shows his talent as he not only kills the hook but provides the production. Of course when you see a R&B singer on a song, it’s safe to assume it’s a song for the ladies. Sidenote: Was I the only who liked the remix? I wonder how many times this song has actually been played on a system inside an actual Mercedes Benz, Bentley, and BMW never when I played it.
Almost a year after it’s release it still holds up especially on a nice sound system. This song marks Banks’ career going into the upswing. Throughout history they thrown shots at the great/But I shoot back, the lord ain’t design me for hate/I never understood Martin Luther with is speech/With the whole world watching, me turn the other cheek? Never.įeaturing Juelz Santana Produced by Prime If we’re playing the “Who Had The Better Verse” game, the winner is Pusha ( Who’s been on a tear lately): Not to say that the track isn’t good it’s a well produced slow tempoed track by Nick Speed. I made my flow up at the corner store/ You hear niggas rapping out here, I just want it more/Turn the music down, you can hear my stomach roar/Bagged a hundred bitches last years just bagged a hundred more.įeaturing Pusha T Produced by Nick Speedįor some reason, I would have rather heard Pusha and Lloyd on something with a faster tempo. Actually, this kinda sound like something that would be on 50’s album The Massacre. Either way, this track is a good example of a grimy New York street record. But Curtis only has chorus duties on this one ( Soulja Boy deserve verses but not Banks?). Seeing 50 Cent’s name here, I was curious to hear him and Loyd Banks on the track together (Remember those old G-Unit mixtapes?). And while Styles P is a good rapper, for some reason this year he has brought down a few songs (*cough “B.M.F.” cough*).įeaturing 50 Cent Produced by Grandz Muzik & Bliz Money For one, the cadence of the hook matched with the beat make the song tedious. But even with that, I couldn’t get into this one. Here Banks keeps the mood going and has even more menacing production (The last track and this one were both produced by Cardiak). It’s not his best verse (That’s on “Runnin'”), but it’ll do. And surprisingly the track quality doesn’t go down when the song gets to his verse. He has some memorable lines here but it’s the hook that pushes this song over the top:įuck talking, let’s take ’em to war/Drama after drama ’til they laying on the floor/What the fuck do you take me for/Eye for and eye time to even up the score/I rather be not here than hungry/I’m sick when I’m not near my money/They want me to lose but I’m a win/I’ made it there before and I’m a make it there againĪs you may notice from the credits, Yayo is a guest on the track also. The album starts of great with Banks sounding as hungry as ever over hard drums and sweeping violins.
Not only is he trying to prove he still has the same fire as he had earlier in his career, he also wants to get back to the level as he was with his platinum selling debut, The Hunger For More. This is visble in the title of his new album H.F.M 2 (The Hunger For More 2). Then “Beamer, Benz, Or Bentley” dropped, sold over 500,000 copies, allowed Banks to ink a shiny new record deal, and gave him a new lease on his rap life. Not only that, but his mentor 50 Cent’s rap career as well as the popularity of his crew is definitely not what it used to be (When thelast time you heard somebody say “G-G-G-Unit”). While a talented rapper, it seemed like Banks’ career was on a downward spiral. That one song for Lloyd Banks is “Beamer, Benz, Or Bentley”. It’s funny what one song can do for a career.
