I probably like The Course Of The Inevitable too much. What The Course Of The Inevitable tells me is that his disappearance has nothing to do with his skills diminishing. While he came out the gate hot as s**t, unfortunately, the last couple of years, he has been M.I.A. I am old enough to remember when Lloyd Banks was a dude that everybody was high on. Aside from all of the amazing punchlines Banks dishes out, I also f**k with the sly-ass flows he raps with and how he makes it a mission to remind us all that he is as gutter as it gets. There are so many impressive punchlines in “Propane,” (That Fendi line is amazing) at a certain point, I grabbed a pen and pad out and started writing them down so that I can decipher them later. What that means is that you get an immediate reminder of how cold of an MC Lloyd Banks is. PROPANE Do you know what I love about “Propane?” It’s the intro to The Course Of The Inevitable. While the former sounds like he’s all about his business, the latter sounds like he enjoys dabbling in toxic-ass s**t.ġ. Over it, both Lloyd Banks and Freddie Gibbs drop bars about turning opps to track stars, about turning decent women into rollers, and about turning illegal work into serious money. For starters, the song features this scary-ass instrumental that sounds like it has yet to have its coffee. “Empathy” was probably written in the same sewer that all of Michael Jackson’s goons from the “Thriller” music video came out of. EMPATHY Lloyd Banks and Freddie Gibbs go back and forth in the dark “Empathy.” Even though the content that he blesses us with is pretty compelling, he sounds like he recorded the track with his feet up in an office desk somewhere in the hood.Ģ. Throughout “Sidewalks,” Lloyd raps about his unflappable demeanor, the hood rules that he follows, and his willingness to pull up on his opps. If you are too young to remember, “Sidewalks” will remind you. SIDEWALKS People forget how tough Lloyd Banks was when he was rolling with G-Unit. So, with everything that I just mentioned, why did I decide to put the song in my top 5? I like how Benny The Butcher and Lloyd Banks’ different but heinous rapping styles blend, the cold-ass Griselda-inspired beat, Benny’s very dynamic flows, and how the two rappers play anti-heroes in the song.ģ. It features a sluggish beat, zero melodies, and raps that sound like they were delivered by two dudes that are allergic to smiling. No, “Formaldehyde” isn’t the most exciting track. FORMALDEHYDE “Formaldehyde” is meaner than a Chipotle worker after you ask them for extra rice.
While Banks doesn’t bring out his heftiest punchlines in the song, he does bring out a side to him that makes him come across as human.Ĥ. In it, Lloyd Banks talks about losing both family members and friends, his resiliency, and attracting haters over a hard-hitting/soulful beat. “Pain Pressure Paranoia” is a pretty deep track. PAIN PRESSURE PARANOIA Do you know how Drake always has that one song on an album of his in which he vents about some real s**t? I feel like “Pain Pressure Paranoia” is Lloyd Banks’ version of that. Lloyd Banks makes his triumphant return with “The Course Of The Inevitable.”
