Recently I saw the item on eBay and I decided to add it to my collection, so I purchased the original. I had a back-up version of since this cd's launch and I have owned it for two years. I heard samples of this album online and it exceeded my expectations. The reason I purchased this cd was because I have all the other albums released by a group called g unit of which Lloyd banks is a part. (G-UNIT) Lloyd Banks - The Hunger For More (CD 2004) But the rap world's no worse off with this capable debut in our midst. When he raps "if it wasn't for 50, I probably wouldn't be around," he might be right. R&B-tinged ballad "Karma" demos his ability to serenade the hotties in more, um, gentlemanly fashion. A better reason to cop this album is to hear Banks's introspective take on the flipside of thug living. Remarkable backing tracks supplied by underrated producers Hi-Tek and Baby Grand ("I Get High," "Die One Day") act as a much needed counterweight to Banks 's clichéd thug-guns-girls-jewelry banter. On choice cut "Warrior," the narcissism begins:, sometimes I surprise me." Then there's the self-explanatory "I’m So Fly," produced by Timbaland, and "If You So Gangsta," where he informs his fellow hood dwellers why they can't compete with the "rap Lebron." As with all G Unit productions, the beats are first-rate. With his understated flows and gift for penning clever punch lines, Banks has long been considered the crew's nicest lyricist.

Lloyd Banks's solo debut is one in an upcoming series of G Unit-affiliated releases coming to a hood near you. It's a 50 Cent world, and we're just living in it.
