After kicking off the year with "Beamer, Benz, Bentley," Lloyd Banks has spent most of 2010 waiting to capitalize on his resurgence. When he first hit the scene in 2002 alongside Tony Yayo and 50 Cent, he quickly established himself as his G-Unit's leading lyricist thanks to his street-wise braggadocio and endless array of clever punchlines. However, like his crew, Banks lost his momentum—in his case, after a poorly received sophomore album, Rotten Apple, and a dearth of radio hits. Now that he's got his mojo back after almost quitting rap altogether, Banks is poised to reposition himself with the release of his new album, The Hunger For More 2. And since Banks told us to switch the style up, we went through his catalog and put together Punchline King: The 25 Best Lloyd Banks Verses. So you can hate if you wanna hate, but we're gonna watch the money pile up. And just for old time's sake...G-G-G-G-G-G-UNIT!!!!!

sorry complex, his latest work is not his best.

The best Banks line is "I got your bitch blowing on me like Nintendo games." By far.

ya'll definitely forgot what he did on that "Still DRE" freestyle. Every line was unforgettable

Quan292 is absolutely correct. My Buddy is one of the most classic verses by any artist this decade. I mean "in-fared beam and a scope for distance, the best accompany when approaching business, we all have a friend, and mine is a g-u-n. Fire

This is great but i his verse on Beamer, Benz, Or Bentley deserves to be on here. this line is crazy "The way i flow is very, Ginsu or Machete when my pencil it's deadly" and his first verse on Father Time.
