The %+@$! grew up and when he grew up so did his flow and delivery because its a part of him. to expect something from 2010 to sound like 2003 is ******ed. Good "rappers" music is constantly evolving.

that is true as well. he wasnt doing none of that punchline nonsense. He has def grown.

My favorite joints on this album are the girl joints though. "So Forgetful" & "I Dont Deserve You"

I used to be a big Banks fan, because when he came on the scene dude shredded every track he touched...I mean hit the rewind button, hip hop quotable type stuff. That was before G-Unit really blew up like crazy. Seemed like once they started eating good, dudes got mad lazy...Banks probably being the worst one. I still check for him, hoping that he can somehow bring back some of the nasty lyricism that he used to show but dude always seems to disappoint. Guess I should have lower expectations 

definitely wasn't da case...did you forget banks pop died around da time rotten apple released?

son basically quit hiphop wit camron da same time....

i haven't gave this a spin yet..i will tonight.

waitin on your review ninja

G-Unit's Lloyd Banks has revealed a past temptation to give up his rap career due to personal struggles in the mid-2000's.

According to Banks, the trials of his father's 2006 passing and dealing with his mother's failing health condition made him uninspired to rhyme.

"I was completely ready to say f*ck it," Banks said in an interview. "50 [Cent's] whole thing was just, 'Push on, push on.' But he didn't grow up with his mother and his father. Seeing my life pass before my eyes, it was like, no matter how much sh*t you have or how good you're doing, you're going to go through this and be devastated." (XXL Mag)

Last month, 50 admitted he pushed Banks to fight through his personal struggles.

"[Lloyd] Banks had a legitimate reason to be upset with me at one point. His pops passed away and his moms was in a car accident, he shut down because he didn't see the response he was looking for from the Rotten Apple record and I was a little insensitive in those areas because I didn't know my father and I lost my mother when I was eight. So I don't see a reason why I should stop pushing. If your pops passes away -- depression is a luxury I can't afford." (Hot 97)
