    Saturday night we are gonna be in the Car at the Club or on the Concert bumpin Rozay, talking to girls, taking flicks and shootin Vids....you will be alone at home bumping LLoyd Banks on your laptop while posting on the Reason..

    Thats the difference between a relevant and credible opinion and an anonymous meaningless opinion.

    Lloyd Banks is the better Lyricist and Technical rapper.
    his rhyme patterns are way more complex and his wordplay is some of the best ever.

    Lloyd Banks is respected by canibus that says alot.

    now rick ross is a better artist as far as beat selection and compusing songs.

    its same arguement ppl make about Pac and Biggie not that ross and banks are comparable to
    Pac and Biggie.

    Naw I gotta disagree Ross is better lyricist than 50

    GRODT is better than anything Ricky has done but that because od production and choruses.

    but verese for verse Rick Ross is better than 50 but Banks is better than both of them

    Now i can understand how some people can ride wit Banks over Ross cuz lyrically he is better i just think Ross makes better and more consistent records.

    But Fif!!!! That ? is garbage! When was the last time anybody played a 50 song on the radio or at a Club or even in their whip?? And we cant blame Fif's predicament on the politics of the music industry cuz that ? has way more pull then Ross.

    The Hunger for More 1 Easily ? on any cd Ross has put out.

    Kanye didnt have a reason to lie when he said Banks was the most underrated ? in the game

    Ross get busy but he aint ? with Banks with the pen game

    I have a hard time believing anything Ross says at this point as far as his kingpin ? is concerned

    Yeah true it is all in taste.

    I used to ? wit 50 heavy when he first dropped but him doing all his hooks and alot of his production i cant really get wit.

    Banks i ? wit and even Yayo was my fav when they originally came out but he then regressed like a ? !

    Ross is actually talented to me and his production is def better then most. I think his past will never allow him to be as successful as i think he should be tho.

    that's some what true but a lot of people have the whole CO thing backwards.

    and over time his lyrics have actually improved. The thing about ross i like is that he has an ear for beats.

    And why is ppl talking about Radio Play? It says who can RAP better and we all know skill does not = Radio play so that arguement is kinda irrelevent.

    that ? kills me. we talkin overall skill, and ? run right to the charts. but let somebody use that argument for someone like em or jay, then its "oh the charts dont matter in terms of talent" the IC kills me.

    Nah ppl in the real world are living in 2011 and understand that there is no way a man with 2 albums to his name can be the king of anything. Haven't met a real person who still listens to LAD or RTD. I'm sorry if its so hard to believe that a rapper working on his 5th album who has countless mixtapes to his name can't be mentioned along side a dead rapper with only two albums. Biggie could've been better than Ross, but at this point its almost laughable how many ppl y'all put that ? over who have been grinding and putting out quality music. Biggie in a top 5 is the most predictable, stale assertion of hip-hop knowledge ever displayed, ESPECIALLY when I know most you jokers here weren't even listening to hip-hop when this man was alive. Some one told you how great BIG was, you and many others never made that assumption on your own.

    Ross>>>>Biggie

    ? forgives bout to be another classic from Ross.
