Lloyd Banks - Survival (Live Session) | Vevo ctrl It didn’t matter if you had your dial set to either a pop or hip-hop station in the 2000s, Lloyd Banks was coming through your speakers regardless. Whether it was with G-Unit or flying solo, the New York rhymer could ride the airwaves with your DMXes and your Britney Spearses. Bolstered by a voice that sounded like a swig of Malbec, Banks became one of hip-hop’s go-to collaborators in the 2000s because his flow seared a cool sizzle to every track he touched. “Beamer, Benz, or Bentley” with Juelz Santana boasted riches with fun alliterative detail. On “Loyal to the Game” he enhanced post-humous Pac bars. To be sure, LB stands on his own. Relisten to “On Fire.” It goes punch for punch with similar club bangers like Nelly’s “Hot In Herre” and frequent track-mate 50 Cent’s “In Da Club.” With his new album, ‘The Course Of The Inevitable 3: Pieces of My Pain,’ the hip-hop OG wants to remind people of just that. “As crazy as it sounds, it's 20 years in, you gotta remind people sometimes,“ he recently asserted. To back it up, he slid down to our Brooklyn ctrl stage to perform album cut ‘Movie Scenes.’ Being a man of the people, he also dug up a fan favorite. “Survival” is from ’06’s ‘Rotten Apple,’ and don’t be surprised if you find yourself spinning that record for the rest of the day.
