-Banks’ debut album is a great one. First off
his lyrics are really good. He raps sort of like Biggie Smalls….(The Notorious
B.I.G.) with less energy sure, but whatever. The album is well constructed and
it has some great flashy beats. It really reminds me of 50 Cent’s debut album
but not quite on that level. On Fire, I’m So Fly, and Warrior Pt. 1 & 2 are
elite songs. Karma is a nice love song. Most of the album is just really nice.
A lot of people said 50 Cent wasn’t the best member of G-Unit; while that
wasn’t true, Lloyd is a great G-Unit soldier
Overall I give this album a 9/10!
This was another Kanye album I wasn't too hype to listen to cause of its bad reputation. I am glad he put it on traditional music services.The album was available on this weird music player thing in 2022 at first. Kanye raps alot about his ex wife Kim Kardashian here. I know he did on Donda 1, but he does it a lot more here. The song "Get Lost" feels empty and is so boring. "Security" has a weird beat...I mean it's too weird for its own good. I really like "Keep the Flowers", its got a nice beat to it.I liked "Too Easy" as well. "City of God" is arguably the best song....Alicia Keys does a great job, as does Five Foreign. A different version of "530" is here as well. I enjoyed "Pablo" too which features Future and Travis Scott. Ultimately its an average album....but it wasn't that bad overall. However it did fall woefully short of the first Donda 2 which was great. Lyrics 18 Beats 21 Depth 18 Tilt 18 Ver...
