Advantages: A few nice beats and lines here and there Disadvantages: The LP is a Horrendous, One-Dimensional Disease
...of awful, gun-oriented lyrics. The Hunger For More, despite having an ill title, turns out to be nothing more than trash... with just a couple of saving moments. In celebration of Tony Yayo's recent release from prison, he has returned with his G-Unit buddies once again, and helps Lloyd Banks set the album up with the opener: "Ain't No Click". Once you hear the beat, you can obviously come to the conclusion that it's another Shady / Aftermath production, ... ...title for Fat Joe, The Hunger for More doesn't exactly coincide with the messages that Banks is giving us. First of all, I don't feel that Lloyd is hungry at all. For you see, if Mr. Bank of America were as half as hungry as he claims, he would actually spit something with some creativity, substance, and try to distance himself from everybody else, despite the fact that his buddies are all apart of the collective that I call "trash". This album has ...

Advantages: punchlines, introspection, wit, the hooks are well done and great production Disadvantages: perhaps too many guests, a few tracks which dont work
...a solo album. Hunger For More seeks to address this and turns out to be a very fine album. Lloyd Banks is known for his crazy witty punchlines and metaphors and of course his distinctive gruff voice. He has also has another advantage in that as 50 Cent and consequently G-Unit have become an integral part of the Interscope roster, they are almost guaranteed high quality production. From both the in house production and outside help from big name producers ... ...with the opening track Aint No Click. The hard hitting song witnesses the welcome return of the formerly incarcerated Tony Yayo and its apparent what a great chemistry there is between the members of the group. Tracks Like Warrior and On Fire have been featured heavily in radio rotation and television. Fire is a little too radio friendly and Warrior proves the stronger of the two. Timbaland's So Fly is another welcome addition and sees the maestro ...

Advantages: Flawless consistency, many big names Disadvantages: It'l never be as big as 50's
...is definitely reinforced on The Hunger For More. Many of the tracks highlight Bank's emphasis on tight group status, tales from his upbringing, infamous weed smoking and anger towards 'fake gangsters'. Take the track 'If Your So Gangsta", he drops the line 'Why You Tuck Your Chain In When You Walk In The Club". Overall, it is very consistent, with each track feeding on nicely to the next and in the perfect position. This album is never going to sell ... ...but comparatively speaking, it is in a similar league. You've definitely got a very polished purchase here, carefully pieced together and the time and effort gone into this is clear for any rap fan to see.
Basically, if you own any other G-Unit album, you wont be able to stop yourself liking this one. ...

Advantages: coming frm g-unit alot of big name colaberations Disadvantages: same old rap
When you think of g-unit first name that comes to mind is 50 cent well after listening to this cd i now think lloyd banks. Alough this is a typical rap cd from america lloyd banks manages to deliver his own very unique sound. Typical rap cd with bad language not good for young children but still amazing. All the tracks are a hole new thing and i found my self lost for choice wen i came to varity there is all sorts of different types of rap on this ... ...comparted to his g-unit releases this is alot better. This cd will ahniliate all compitition after hearing this you wont be disapointed and will never want to go bak to other types of rap and hip-hop. The cover design although simple is very good i thought. I got this cd brought over to me buy a freind from america and it cost a bit more than in the uk shops but i still think of it as money well spent. ...

Lloyd banks delivers his first studio album and if you think he is just 50 cents right hand man you are very, very wrong In my opinion he is a better rapper than 50 cent and the most talented on the g-unit roster this album is great and one of the best rookie album's since biggie-ready to die this kid has got some real talent and it shows on such hits as on fire and karma But his best work comes on the tracks work magic and warrior part 2 The only ...
