This was the perfect excuse I needed to post that pic again, he he he (perverted voice).

Here’s a randomly leaked track from the PLK Lloyd Banks called “Fly Like The Wind” featuring Jim Jones. Anyone else noticed that Banks voice has changed drastically from when he first came out?

Check out the H.F.M. 2 album Reviews.

The numbers are in for all the November 22nd album releases, check the full recap of the numbers albums for Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Ne-Yo & Lloyd Banks.

Number 1: Kanye West’s 5th album, “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,” sold 497k records in its first week. Kanye’s previous debuts were, “The College Dropout,”(441k) “Late Registration,”(860k) “Graduation,”(957k) & “808s & Heartbreak”(450k). I hated 808s & Heartbreak but this new album is great, some of his best production to date. The album even gained the infamous 5 Mics in The Source Magazine. The reviews from our readers also have the same scores as The Source.

Number 2: Nicki Minaj’s debut album, “Pink Friday,” which had allot of mixed reviews sold 376k records in its first week of sales. Nicki Minaj’s label mate Drake debuted with 447k earlier this year. With Lil Wayne’s, “I Am Not A Human Being,” going gold this week Lil Wayne’s Young Money empire is running this right now. Is Nicki Ninaj’s debut effort above or below your expectations?

Number 3: Ne-Yo’s, “Libra Scale,” sold 112k records in its first week of sales. Ne-Yo’s last album, “Year of the Gentleman,” sold 250k in the first week.

Number 25: Lloyd Banks sold 44,500 copies of, “Hunger For More 2,” last week. His sophomore LP, Rotten Apple sold 143,000 copies it’s first week and debut at number 3. His debut album and the original to the current sequel The Hunger for More opened at #1 on Billboard‘s albums sales chart, with week-one sales topping 433,000, and Hunger ended up spending a second-straight week at #1, selling close to 164,000 units. Judging by the reviews from our readers and reviews across web, people really enjoyed the album, much better than Rotten Apple. 45, 000 copies for a now independent artist isn’t bad, plus his single Beamer, Benz and Bentley sold over 500,000 copies. Unfortunately the single was released in the 1st quarter and the album released in the 4th quarter and even though “Any Girl” and “Start It Up” were great songs they were no where close to the lead single.

Thoughts on these releases?

Another one from Lloyd Banks titled “So Forgetful” featuring Ryan Leslie. It’s a radio but good enough for now.

Another one from Lloyd Banks and Eminem titled “Celebrity” with Akon on the vocals. By the sound of it I’m assuming this is not the final mix, also Eminem wasn’t on the track list for this song but sure enough here he is doing what he does best. Expect to see a mastered version of this.

New LLoyd Banks titled “Make Money” and a new collaboration with Styles P titled ”Unexplainable” and that record is beast, it’s a radio rip but be on the look out for the CDQ coming real soon. Check it out.

Here the anticipated collaboration between Lloyd Banks and Eminem, the track is titled “Where I’m At” but you probably won’t don’t download it because it tagged up like crazy, SMH.

A new one from the PLK Lloyd Banks who’s been on fire lately. This is his second release for his Blue Friday series, it’s called “Finish Line.” This will not appear on HFM2, which drops November 23rd. This must be the year for Friday music releases, G.O.O.D Friday, Blue Friday, and Pink Friday.

Download:Lloyd Banks – Finish Line

The “Hunger For More 2” album run is officially on and one of the first joints off it is appropriately titled “Start It Up” featuring Kanye West, Swizz Beatz, Ryan Leslie & Fabolous. This one is sort of just for the simple fact no one on this track (minus Ryan Leslie) was cool with each other a few years ago, definitely making it to iPod. It’s also been about 7 years since Banks and Fabolous been on a track together, it’s ill to hear how they sound now and how much they’ve developed. Back then they sound so much alike.

That Hunger For More 2 is due out November 23rd.

Update:Dirty version is now available.

I don’t know why but when I saw the title of this Lloyd Banks freestyle, it made me think back to the Warm Up freestyles he did, those were epic. Hotter than most of the freestyles you hear now, made him the PLK. Just to relapse a little I decided to post them along with this track and also I had that freestyle from when he was like 18 spittin over the Snoop Dogg beat (before G-Unit) back in 2000 when I just arrived in this country.

Lmao, I actually had to pull these from a old mixtape CD I had since forever.

Damn that was like 9th grade, time sure flies.

Banks been the truth!

Banks appeared on Angie’s show earlier today to discuss his first Summer Jam appearance since 2004 (back when “On Fire” was out,) “Beamer, Benz & Bentley” and the beat, as well as the new song he just put out with Lloyd, from Hunger For More 2.

Angie then asks him about 50’s drastic weight loss, how he achieved it, collaborating with an ex-Murder Inc. artist, and the fact the single originally leaked from his e-mail.

They discuss the Summer Jam performance, the pressures of live shows vs. live radio, and “freestyling” on the air.

New music from Lloyd Banks titled Any Girl featuring ex Murda Inc member Lloyd, like I said before time changes everything in music, the landscape of Hip Hop completely changed. This track actually leaked a while back without Lloyd on it and it was called Got Em Like, this is the official version.
