Lloyd Banks ft. Jeremih – I Don’t Deserve You (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on January 29th, 2011 by Hyphen

Another rather generic video, but again, the music is dope.  I’ve always had mixed feelings on Banks…obviously he puts a bit more into his bars than the other G-Unit MC’s over the years, but there’s something forced about his records/rhymes/overall image.  That said, he’s capable of making great grimy tracks (see “Reach Out“) and even some good ones for the ladies.  The beat and hook here are smashes, but I just get the feeling any decent MC could make the same track with that combo.

Banks

“I drink like an uncle, smoke like a rasta/
Ball like a superstar, talk like a boxer/
F**k like a rabbit, sh*t like a dinosaur
–Lloyd Banks, “Casualties of War”

I understand what he was trying to do here, but I don’t think I would have included that last part.
