Lloyd Banks vs. Royce da 5'9"

Who do you like more?

by **12characters** » Jun 6th, '11, 17:52

I like them both, but ever since I first heard Street Hop, Royce has become one of my all-time favorites.

Royce Da 59? It's 5'9", buddy.

Anyways, Royce is better than Banks in pretty much every aspect but Banks is still a good rapper.

Alright i edited in 5'9". Ofcourse I knew that it was 5'9" but I didnt feel like typing that and i assumed you would understand who I was talking about. but whatever. Really like HFM2

Banko!

Banks in his prime was the best punchline rapper IMO.

I like Royce, but Banks takes this one for me. :y:

Re: Lloyd Banks, I think it was a few months here when I crowned him the new King of NY here and I said it to a lot of my homies too, and not many listened.

Anyway, for those who have an account for The NY Times (yes, THE NY Times), you can click the link below, for others, let me just copy and paste it for you.

[Lloyd Banks] may have stealthily become the most important rapper in New York — last year his “Beamer, Benz or Bentley” was a local anthem; this year he’s got “Start It Up.” It’s worth noting that major labels have done little for these two: Mr. Banks’s success came after parting ways with Interscope.

The purest New York moment of the night came during Mr. Banks’s set, when Mobb Deep emerged with “Shook Ones Pt. II.” Ten years ago Jay-Z used the Summer Jam bully pulpit to attack Prodigy of Mobb Deep, showing a childhood picture of that rapper dressed for dance class in a leotard. Prodigy’s emergence here — after a recent stint in prison, and with Jay-Z nowhere in sight — was a small piece of turf reclaimed.

Lloyd Banks - now officially the King of NY.

I refuse to accept Lloyd Banks as the KONY.
