Lloyd Banks - The Hunger For More (3.5/5), August 3, 2005
When I picked up Lloyd Banks solo debut 'The Hunger For More' I had pretty high expectations. The lead single had me hooked & I was assuming from hearing everyone else talk about Banks that he was the best lyrically in G-Unit. First off, the album did live up to my expectations. Also, after hearing HFM, Banks is without a doubt the best lyrically in G-Unit.
1. Ain't No Click (feat. Tony Yayo) - Not that great of an album opener. Banks does well on here & the beat is hot but Tony Yayo is straight up garbage in any situation. 2.5/5
2. Playboy - Now here's a good album opener. But since its #2 its still fire. Banks rips it with his punches & wordplay. Like the back-and-forth chanting near the end as well. 4/5
3. Warrior - This track's kind of average. Banks once again masters the art of being a punchline rapper. Catchy hook as well. 3.5/5
4. On Fire - Alot of people hate on this track for one reason or another but it is (IMO) one of the hottest club bangers G-Unit's put out. The beat is SICK & Banks rips both his verses. Only complaint is that it's only 2 verses & it should've been longer. 4.5/5
5. I Get High (feat. Snoop Dogg) - Typical, expected...any of that. Also Snoop was pretty much a given (hey its a weed song what do you expect?) & this one's pretty skippable. 3/5
6. I'm So Fly - Good choice for a 2nd single. That beat is hot & Banks pulls out some sh*t for this one ("I got the patience of a high-school teacher, and a bright future, why the f**k would i have a bomb in my sneaker?") 4.5/5
7. Work Magic - Should've been a single. One of the best tracks Banks has ever done. The beat is hot & Banks murders the first verse. Unfortunately fellow G-Unit member Young Buck is on the 2nd verse & outshines Banks on what could've been his standout moment. It's not that Buck is any better lyrically or flow-wise than Banks but he just somehow pulls out a verse that outshines Banks. 3rd verse is average. Regardless of the misteps, though, the song is great. 5/5
8. If You So Gangsta - Another typical track. Not much to say about this one. 4/5
9. Warrior, Pt. 2 (feat. Eminem, 50 Cent & Nate Dogg) - Light years ahead of the original. Em & 50's verses are nice & Banks holds his own. Beat is sick as well. Also another great chorus from the king of hooks. 5/5
10. Karma - Surprising R&B track, 3rd single as well. Was nice at first but gets really played-out after a few listens. Also the singer in the album version is NOT Avant. Not sure who he is but IMO he sounds better than Avant. 4/5
11. When the Chips Are Down (feat. Game) - At the time this was a pretty nice track. That's before The Documentary & before G-Unit VS. Game started. Game's verse is pretty much irrelevant now but its still alright. Banks is just average here as well. 4/5
12. Til The End - Best song on the album. This one has the most depth & really shows off Banks talent. Amazing track. 5/5
13. Die One Day - Average. But something good about it is the beat...that's about it, though. Lyrics are just typical. 4/5
14. South Side Story - 2nd beat on here. Another in-depth track that shows off Banks talent. Also shows off storytelling aspects as well, which is good. Nice way to close the album. 5/5
So overall, IMO, HFM was one of the best G-Unit releases in '04. Buck's album is also worth checking out.

Huh???, December 15, 2004
I can't believe the reviews I'm reading. Lloyd Banks the best lyricist?????? Yeah RIGHT!!!! The only thing that keeps me from falling asleep to his monotone flow is when he sounds like he's whining.....and that just keeps me awake long enough to turn it off. You wanna hear some real hip hop and not the bubble gum, poppy, fake, wannabe rap that's so popular these days? Pick up Immortal Technique Revolutionary Vol 1 and 2. You might learn something. Peace.
