Let's take a look at game for a second.
He is in no way a gangster. he is the fakest fake blood I have ever seen in my entire life. Even his own brother exposed his punk ass, not to mention that there are recordings of him clearly saying on a radio station "I don't gangbang, I just know people who gangbang". He used to be a stripper, has a tounge ring, and a butterfly tattoo. That is just NOT gangsta. And then he put an LA tat right over the butterfly tat which looks even more gay. Game changes his mind every five seconds, and has the IQ of Paris Hilton. One day he says he's stopping a beef, next day he's dissin that person again like WTF??? Not to mention that he admitted in several interviews that he sometimes cries in a closet and has nightmares and is emotionally streesed. Not to mention he was on "Change of Heart" several years ago and his girlfriend told the world how soft he was. He didn't have a single tat on his body just a couple years ago, and now he's out there with a hundred tats like he's a real g or some **** Then he calls out G-unit in nearly every sentence, praises dre, who also hates him, in every song, and has a vocabulary that looks something like this: gangster, compton, g-unot, 64 impalas, dre, 50. Seriously. This guy is an idiot. He even once said "I am hip hop", meanwhile he ain't **** in this rap game.

His new album Rotten Apple is FIRE. Hunger for More was better, but they were both overall well done. Banks deliverance and flow is impeccable. His punchlines are worth a good listen. Lloyd Banks DESERVES to do well at this point. He has put out excellent material thus far. I don't know where 50 Cent found this guy, but he found a winner.

Ipods in general are a huge fad that needs to die. People see other people with them and they feel the need to buy one. This is especially prevalent in highschools, who are accountable or 99% of ipod sales for the simple reason that everyone follows one leader like a bunch of sheep. Ipods are good cosmetically, but I know people who have replaced the nanos and minis as many as 5-6 times. They are of course, well off, and could afford 100 ipods, but that still doesn\'t make it a good thing. There are many other players out there with better capabilities than the ipod. If your looking at an ipod, don\'t. Right now, out of every 10 mp3 players, more than 7 are ipods. I hope this changes soon.
