Lloyd Banks Upstages 50 Cent On ‘Beg For Mercy’

Jim Farber of the New York Daily News reviewed G-Unit’s debut ‘Beg For Mercy’. He writes, “It’s not easy to upstage a superstar. But on the first major-label release from G-Unit, the most exciting flow comes not from the best-known member, but from an emerging one: Lloyd Banks. In his showpieces, Banks pours his rhymes out in a dry monotone, exuding a deadpan cool. His flow has a nearly hypnotic effect, appearing to halt time while the rhythm pulses menacingly along.”
