Is it just me or does it smell like a smash hit-single in here? This is my personal favorite track featured on “The Hunger For More”. I have one question for you… Is it even possible for Nate Dogg to come half-way wack on a hook? Because right-now I’m thinking that it’s damn-near impossible.ġ0.) “Karma” (5 out of 5) Produced by Greg Doby This is because all three MC’s do an outstanding job with their respective verses. It’s really difficult to decide who to call the star of “Warrior, Part 2”. Eminem has really came into his own as a credible producer. If you have-yet to read the album credits then you may think that this track is produced by the legendary Dr. 50 Cent, Eminem and Nate Dogg) (5 out of 5) Produced by Eminem Still, the bouncy beat and the catchy hook make this track acceptable… Eventhough it’s obvious mix-tape material.Ġ9.) “Warrior, Part 2” (feat. “If You So Gangsta” is obviously Lloyd Banks’ version of 50 Cent’s 2002 classic, “Wanksta”. The Boy Wonder is obviously following his mentor’s blueprint for multi-platinum success with this track. I also think that the hook could have been better.Ġ8.) “If You So Gangsta” (3.5 out of 5) Produced by Chad Beat and Sha Money XL The only problem I have with this track is the repetitiveness of the production… It becomes half-way annoying after a while.
Lloyd Banks and Young Buck (more-so Young Buck) do a very nice job with the bass-heavy production of new-comer Scram Jones. Young Buck) (3.8 out of 5) Produced by Scram Jones “You think that bandana makes you look gangsta but all I see is a hankerchief!” and “I’m in the hood with more straps than a Jan-Sport!” are just two examples of how brutally Banks treats Timbaland’s keyboard-driven production.Ġ7.) “Work Magic” (feat. The irisistable hook and the outstanding production of Timbaland make this an almost too-easy choice for the second single. What saves this tracks fate is the catchy hook and the typical (but dope) production of Hi-Tek.Ġ6.) “I’m So Fly” (4.8 out of 5) Produced by Timbaland If you ask me… Snoop has smoked himself wack. Snoopy drops what may-very-well-be his weakest verse to-date. It almost goes without saying that he’s capable of MUCH better than these two verses… Especially his second verse. Lloyd Banks does a decent job with this track. 50 Cent and Snoop Dogg) (3.5 out of 5) Produced by Hi-Tek I just can’t get enough of this track.Ġ5.) “I Get High” (feat. Banks does the production justice by dropping two outstanding verses and by providing a catchy chorus along with mentor 50 Cent. Kwame) is what’s most impressive about Lloyd Banks’ lead single. The epic production of new-comer K1 Mil (a.k.a.
The catchy hook along with the impressive production of Thayod Ausar have made this track a staple in my playlist for the past few months.Ġ4.) “On Fire” (5 out of 5) Produced by K1 Mil
“So, if that’s ya man warn him/’Cause theres enough bullets in here to hit every NBA patch on ’em” is arguably “The Hunger For More’s” best punch-line. “Warrior” is quite possibly Banks’ best lyrical performance to-date. “Playboy” serves as proof that Banks is quite possibly today’s top punch-line MC.Ġ3.) “Warrior” (5 out of 5) Produced by Thayod Ausar Banks does a very nice job riding Browz’ difficult production. Ron Browz is another producer who’s been offering-up quite a-bit of heat as-of late. Tony Yayo rides shotgun and offers-up a very impressive 16… It’s great to have Yayo home.Ġ2.) “Playboy” (4 out of 5) Produced by Ron Browz Havoc has really been on a hot streak as-of late. Lloyd Banks kicks-off his highly anticipated debut effort with a lyrical assault over a very impressive production courtesy of Mobb Deep’s Havoc. Tony Yayo) (4.5 out of 5) Produced by Havoc
