Unfortunately, Vado fell off. Got with Khalid & got complacent. Should've stayed with Cam since his best work was when he was around him. Also, Juelz used to spit crazy. Don't call either better since they're both in about the same place as far as the hip hop game goes. They used to be classmates too ironically. Harlem a small world obviously.

Yeah Khalid did nothing for him. Juelz could always spit, but he is not as technical as vado is. Juelz is a much simpler rhymer to vado.

Juelz could have made major waves if he ever made that collab album with Wayne. They had great chemistry on the mic. That would have been flames. Lloyd Banks suffers from the same thing.

yeah everybody was looking forward to that album dropping would have been a great look for Juelz.

there was a time I thought Lloyd Banks was going to be a legend. His stuff before 50 got his deal, is pure illness for a cat his age. The best of Lloyd banks tapes was my ****.

lloyd banks up through his debut album was fire.

Then he was stupid enough to leave his sophomore album out with a few groupies he was having a threesome with. His now unreleased album The Big Withdrawal wasn't too bad. But after that leak, he changed his voice, switched his style up too much, ditched the punchlines (and can barely hear them now cuz his voice sucks),

He was content on being 50's wingman..... too bad of him

I still remember some of his punches on the Hunger for More. First time I heard "If that's your man warn him, cuz there's enough bullets in here to hit every nba patch on him" I remember one of my boys spazzing hard. :lol:

Funny thing about this is majority of hip-hop shows depending on who you see is white suburban kids.

Banks just never did it for me. I used to sit down and listen to him, going over everything he says with a fine tooth comb trying to get what others saw in him. And I just never felt him. Once in awhile he drops a punch line. Like cooler than the other side of the pillow. But for the most part I found him to be a muffled, hard to hear, low energy rapper who tries to drop cute lines between a bunch of fluff words to fill his verse out.

One NY rapper that Id argue to death, puts most rappers to shame. Sha Stimuli is an uncrowned king to me. He never got the hype that Papoose/Saigon/Tru etc got but Sha Stimuli to me is the one of the elite in the entire game period.

Sha Stimuli is mad nasty. BK in the house. He is the product of being nice in the wrong era
