Lloyd Banks, Hunger for More Review

Overall Rating

Banks album is hot. It's beats are all that (of course produced by Dr.Dre himself), and the lyrics are nothing shy of what we expected from the 2003 Mixtape champion.

More Songs! Banks was braggin' on the Basement and 106 and Park about how he recorded some 50 songs to choose for this album, and could only give us 15? Come on Banks we could have used a few more.

Hunger for More is overall a great first album for Banks. His right hand man starts of the album with him in a good intro of "Aint no Clicks". Some of the best joints on the CD are produced by Eminem. These are "Warrior Part 2" and "Till the Ed", which is my favorite song. Another great couple of songs are #'s 7 & 8 Work Magic (with Young Buck with a huge verse) and If ya so Gansta, which both bring the lyrics from Banks we all expected. Another great song is "When the chips are down" with Game. Great song, nice beat and huge verse from Game. And then the album ends with a great "Southside Story" about him as a kid. So overall I think this may not be a "Get rich or die trying" but it's definatly the best thing that happened to rap in 2004. G-Baby
