Customer Reviews

Awesome Album!
I must say i was waiting 4 this album for a while and as i'd heard a few of the tracks on recent mixtapes (which both feature 50 cent) i thought it was gonna be a filler album to support a few good tracks - I Was wrong - i absolutely loved it and after lovein' "The Hunger for more" and being a fan of G-Unit's music (apart from Tony Yayo's album which pretty much sucked) - i can honestly say it's probably the best non-50 cent G-Unit album that's been released (apart from Mobb Depp "Blood Money-which got slept on)- I would recommend this album to anyone who is a fan of East coast Hip-Hip and G-Unit respectively! *****

High Expectations
For me Loyd Banks debut album "The Hunger For More" was a really good album, but his latest album "Rotten Apple" is not very good at all, was looking forward to this album prior to its realease, but i was disappointed wasting money on this album!, but don't get me wrong there is 1 or 2 decent tracks on here like "Hands Up" & "Get Clapped" but overall very disappointed with the rest of the album. I Recommend you purchase Young Buck's new album "Get Buck", you will get your money's worth from that!

Victim to the sophomore curse
Banks was udder pressure doing this album. The game had been booted out and then started the "G-Unot" campaign against his former crew. The last G-Unit releases (Yayo's and Mobb deep) had flopped badly and 50's massacre was heavily criticized for not living up to his first album. G-unit is in trouble and banks release was up first. After writing a whole album it was stolen by an affiliate of D-Block (whom G-unit are beefing with) and put onto the internet and bootlegged. This meant that banks had to do a whole other album. The initial singles off this album failed to receive recognition and the release date was pushed back. After all this banks had the chance to redeem G-unit and bring them back to their previous commercial success. Just looking at these albums amazing art work and inner notes it looks good but in my opinion he failed. He stumbled and dropped the ball. Heres a track by track review of the album and his problems

1. Rotten Apple (w/ 50 Cent & Prodigy) Beat is boring as is banks. Prodigy is rubbish and 50 trys to rhyme pharaoh with barrel enough said. 5/10
2. surrivival nice beat and the chorus is really good verses are ok 8.5/10
3. Playboy 2 beat = horrible rapping's also very bad 3/10
4. The Cake (w/ 50 Cent) i hate the sample and the rapping isnt good enough to make up for it 6/10
5. Make A Move Banks trys singing its sooo bad i dont mind rappers singing a tiny bit but banks voice is so bad 5/10
6. Hands Up (w/ 50 Cent) banger probably one of the best on the album 50 is pretty good on it and banks rapping is pretty good as well. the beat by Em is good as well 9.5/10
7. Help (w/ Keri Hilson) quiet a nice track very laid back R&B style but it doesn t help banks look gangster 8.5/10
8. Addicted (w/ Musiq Soulchild) Beat is very nice as is the featured guest and banks raps a nice couple of verses 9/10
9. You Know The Deal has a sweet sample from Rakim and is overall a very good song showing what banks can do one of the few good song on the album 9/10
10. Get Clapped (w/ Mobb Deep) i dont like the chorus and the beats pretty bad as well as the verses 4.5/10
11. Stranger it just screams filler 5/10
12. Change also screams filler 5/10
13. NY NY (w/ Tony Yayo) pretty horrible song really Yayo only makes it worst. 4/10
14. One Night Stand (w/ Keon Bryce) its quiet nice the beat and the guest really help it 8.5/10
15. Iceman (w/ Young Buck, Scarface & 8Ball) such a bad beat even young buck couldnt save it 6/10
16. Gilmores no banks you cant sing so dont 5/10
17.Life (w/ Marsha Ambrosius & Spider Loc) pretty bad song but i quiet like spider loc he has got a nice flow. 5.5/10

Overall i have decided after hearing this album about 4 times (it could be a really slow grower but im not going to keep trying) that banks has such a BORING voice. When the beats aren't lively like in this album his highlights just how boring he is his rhymes are alright but his flow and monotone voice aren't. I really wanted this album to be good as I don't like the Game as a person (disloyal fool got destroyed by young bucks diss track) and now he'll probably say it was his disses that made the album fail rather than the fact it pretty much sucks. £10 on a album that has 5 decent songs is just steep buy the Jay z or nas or snoop dogg or fat joe or diddy or even the game, all the other big releases this quarter that don't blow. This truly is a Rotten album young buck has a lot to do with his album but I still have hope in him as his first album was the best yet in G-unit releases. Ja and the rest of G-units enemies must be laughing at the fact this album is a flop and I don't blame them

Its Murdaaaa
