Lloyd Banks previously cancelled his mixtape Cold Corner 2, but had a change of heart back in August. Now, the G-Unit member explains that the tape will arrive in the next two weeks and that he’s already got 18 to 20 tracks recorded for the follow-up to H.F.M. 2 (Hunger For More 2).
“I got a couple mixtapes done. I had the Cold Corner done for a second, but I just put it off because I could. I needed more time to work on everything else,” he said while at MTV’s RapFix Live yesterday. “I didn’t want to keep giving them a day and day and pushing it back like it’s an album. It’s a mixtape at the end of the day. […] It’ll be the best mixtape, hands down, that comes out this year. It’ll be coming out within two weeks, Cold Corner 2, definitely.”
He also updated on his next studio album, stating that he has fulfilled his contract with EMI and looking for a new label home.
“Right now, I’m between situations now. I completed my situation with EMI, and going right back to the drawing board. I been working just constantly, making music for my mixtape series and at the same time for my next album. So I’m about 18 or 20 records into my next album already.”

who the fuck cares his career over!!!!!!!the only n.y rappers are jay-z and…..and…..well no one!hahaha
ignorant poor fuck whose career is over???
banks can easily sell an impresive 70-80 k first week anytime he drops next lp , thats more money that u will ever see
He didn’t manage that with HFM 2
The only reason his HFM2 numbers wasn’t special is because his album was undershipped. Meaning most stores wasn’t selling it & thats down to EMI poor distribution
tru aint nobody new from NY popping besides fred the god son and he havent been signed yet
under shipped my ass dude flop like big boi flop but big boi drop a dope album
he almost done after his last album did those numbers he might do 20-25k first week this time around
^ nigga you don’t know shit I went cop hfm2 and it was the last copy they had it was carzy how undershiped I know niggas that couldnt even find that shit … as for da album easily top 5 of year and if you add in the bonus songs maybe number 1
and what can none of tehm touch him shut the fuck up nigga u wack when the last time u had a decent puch line what bac in 05′!!!!!!!
“im so far ahead im already dead, getn at u fom the future so im used to what u said” PLK!!!
Lloyd Banks is one of the most underrated MC’s in the game. His albums and mixtapes besides Rotten Apples are dope. If you think Jay-Z is the best in NY, you don’t know shyt about hip-hop.
lets hope he can sell atleast in the top 20 albums this time lol
game was nº1 with 95k and he still didn’t sell more than BISD in 3 weeks and it was a nº5 album so who cares?
ignorant
This g-unit failure sold 45k first week last time he dropped and that was with a gold single, the beamer bentley bullshit. So to that dude talking bout impressive numbers haha
for him its impressive, and you are never gonna manage that with this view
fuck u dude go eat a dick. Banks is 100x better than ur favorite rapper
FIRST WEEK SALES AINT SHIT ITS ABOUT THE PRODUCT DO YOU OWN EMI DO YOU HAVE STOCK THAT ALBUM HAS A GOLD INDIE SINGLE HE MAD MORE MONEY FROM THAT THAN YOUR FAV RAPPER ALBUM GOING OLD AND FYI THE ALBUM ALMOST GOLD
I always love to hear new banks material!
man everybodys record sales went down fewwer people buy the albums anymore cheap bastereds illegal down load that shit……….banks tear that shit up homie
took banks long enough finally the streets have been waiting for this.
305 wasssup
Im looking forward to this mixtape banks always delivers
banks is crazy underrated & this mixtape will be better than certain niggas albums as for his label situation he needs to get a label that will promote his album properly. I think he’ll end up back on interscope
What do you black folks think about my article?
Show Money > Money from LP sales
Let’s put the whole “how much a nigga sold” bit to rest, Ok? Damn. Album sales don’t equate to quality…especially in this day and age of music. It’s all about marketing and how grandiose that marketing can be.
He’s definitely not hurting for cash. Now some of these flodging niggas (Ace Hood for one)… Well… you make the call.
I dont know if you checked in the last 5 months but Id say Ace is doing pretty good right now. A year ago maybe not but Hustle Hard, GO N Get It, and Body 2 Body all did damn good. Just saying how about Lil Flip or Mike Jones for example. Now there’s some broke bastards
cant
If this dude wasn’t down with 50 cent/G-unit, i would be down with him and i think alot more people would.
Those 50 Cent has the wackest assortment of artists right now and for some reason they all think they are relevant
HAHA YOU EMOTIONAL BASTARD ITS ABOUT THE MUSIC YOU ACT LIKE HE WITH A RIVAL GANG THAT KILLED YOUR HOMIE THESE FANS ARE SO FLAKEY
I cud give a fuck if he’s down wit fiddy r thu unit, thing is he demonstrates sumtin mos dudes dont have….n thts loyalty n talent. Half these rappers out nw wudnt stand by their click wen shit got hot. But banks chose to go in on any muthfucker who wanted it wit thu unit…thts hw real street niggas do shit “DEATH B4 DISHONOUR”
Nothing against him here. I’m primarily a Wu-Tang fan, but this guy has it in him. You have to remember that there is a reason behind why Rakim chose to work with him. Lloyd Banks is very underrated.
havent been checkin for Banks in a while but Ill give this mixtape a download…nigga used to be g-units god mc
yo mixtape will flop son!!!
It will flop like yo mommas titties when the bra come off.
This niggas shit flopped and his career is over. G-Unit is done niggas! Last album was hot garbage.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If world stop today Bank$ Got a Double-Platinum album in the U.S. RIAA 2xPlatinum more than anything Officer Roass ever did!….Beamer, Benz, Bentley sold 800k RIAA Gold more units than Blowin Money Fast!… Officer Down diss track murdered anything that Fat-Porkface/Pack-of-hotdog Neck Officer ever spit or written in his life!
ooooofffffficcerrr rrricckkkky
Banks for ever. Gayo and 50’s careers are a wrap
Im rollin with banks for life. G-UUUUNIT!
http://www.youtube.com/MCMRGRIMEZ
yeha banks that nigga top mc in the rap game
g-unit the group is done. Banks should just finish his solo career out, get some more credit under his belt since he is an underrated emcee. Lloyd Bank$= punchline king.
the fans know best, so i’ll just not release anything from my hot garbage ass this year lil’homies. GGGGGGGGGG-UNIT!nigga….is it still 2003?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmiFimq7C38&feature=youtube_gdata_player
fuck no! dude what in the shit is this on the cover? man yall rappers these days are so fuckn slow at MARKETING. But these women like Rihanna/nicki can milk their fan’s dick all day for cash. only thing I can say about Banks for the past year is no. no. no no. go back to the drawing board, get a better hip sytle, come out with those PUNCHLINES and actually be hungry for more!!!!!!! thanks

I guess I’m a Lame-O then…
I guess the only lame in here is bitchass carlos
PLK biatch!
I listen to G-Unit. Got a problem with that faggot? I’m sorry I dont listen to your lil wayne, or your rick ross. I actually listen to decent music.
hahah your crazy homie. the unit>>>>>>>>> young money. Banks is that dude, mixtapes go harder than most current “hot” rappers. 50 cent, damn he’ll never get back to how he used to, still the man. yayo crazy haha i fucks with yayo
So you ony listen to the popular music because everyone does. LMAO! I’m sure you get fucked in your ass faggot!I don’t give a fuck if he’s with g unit or not! HE brings that fire. So shut your stupid ass up ‘lame-o’
that cover is ill!
Know thats a cover for a mixtape my da best lyrically in the game YEAHISIADIT in the words of Bart Scott CAN’T WAIT …
thats a dope cover but when is the mixtape cummin out
You boring banks and your voice sounds like deepthroating a dick.
we are not hungry for your music anymore.
7 years in the game and one decent album HFM1 You made totally no progression and your fabricated your whole gangster lifestyle like Rick Ross.
You was not running the streets you was at high school So wassup with this gangsta lifestyle? Do you think you are tough because of those ugly tattoos? You are fake and boring!
Who gives a fuck how “gangster” you think he is. You must be deaf or need a fucking qtip asap if you think hfm1 was his only “decent” album. Go listen to rotten apple and partially remove the hate in your heart and if you still think thats not a good album then your fucking dumb as shit, I dont give a fuck if hes running streets this that, dude drops quality verses, quality mixtapes and albums; and in the end thats all that matters in the music biz. Who do you listen to that has progressed so much in hip-hop? huh? i dont want banks to change cuz hes all about spitting bars, PHuckYAFACE im out
@ PhuckYaFace:
I forgive you son. You are 14 years old and never heard hiphop from 1986/1988 and 1994/1995. But let me teach you this are the 2 most imported stages in hiphop, the best hiphop was created back then. Tom Banks is just a horrible rapper, you probably are also a lil wayne fan and 50 cent fan and think that drake will be the new goat.
The rotten apple dope. LOL that was funny son! that was a good joke.
@Anonymous bitch please banks is 1 of da best in the game period . and its to late to hate know shoulda been do’n that shit in 04 he will fuck ya favorite rapper up …
@Anonymous
I thank you cuz i never really got into it with anyone on the interwebs so its cool that i get to son someone. First of all let me address all of your dumbass accusations, what the fuck does my comment have to do with hip hop from the 80’s and early 90’s?? me 14 LOL u must be smoking crack u pussy bitch, i still listen to epmd, krs-one, large professor, ditc, big L, slick rick, i was bumping ready to die in 94 and still bumping it today, U dam right im a 50 cent fan because his legacy back then with g-unit radio tapes, power of the dollar, and so many other hot joints he dropped are dope. Im obviously arguing with someone who doesnt know shit about shit, and cant respect a lyricst of TODAY that is still releasing music. Hip hop moves on with great lyricists over time, and banks was\is one of them, and if you aint know know you know nigga!!!
My minds’s my nine, my pens my mack 10
my target, all you wack niggaz who started rappin
Go troll somewhere else with your yea u a lil wayne fan accusation cause you butthurt you hating on banks
cover is ill lloyd banks is a pussy tho….g-unottttttttttt
ut da pusssy . bitch . who da fuk is da dat gay wayne wannabe
only some serious hater’s can’t recognize Banks skill he been spitting striaght flames for the past decade, can’t wait for this mixtape banks never lets me down
banks is one of the best niggas still doin it
should b good mixtape bankz keepin g-unit alive singlehandly since 50 fell off n da new ones he signed r horrible
banks will kill your favorite rapper….he is still young …i have a feeling he is gonna be bigger in his career than previous…banks will never wear womens cloths, use auto tune, or pretend to play the guitar and skate board to get white kids attention…he is in his own lane and if you dont like it, then fuck off…cold corner 2…get ready!
Co-sign. Same goes for slaughterhouse. And hopefully these new dudes like Krit and Kendrick keep doin their thing, they dont even have a debut out yet so only time will tell where these new dudes are directing hip hop. At least were past the gucci/waka/auto-tune phase, hip hop hasn’t been this good in years it feels like
banks top 5 alive!!! gonna be sick
top 5 dead or alive
he never made a classic so how can he be top 5????
This shit is sounding like fire. He wasnt joking about that mixtape of the year stuff. G-G-GUUUUNIT!
http://www.youtube.com/MCMRGRIMEZ
HE AINT GOT WEEZY ON HERE, SO ITS GONNA SUCK. I LOVE ME SOME YOUNG MONEY NUTS.

it is a shame a rapper as talented as banks dont have a label to push his albums as crazy as this might sound banks would fit in perfect at maybach music group could you imagine banks and meek mill smashing tracks together and he would move some units ross supports his artists
Craig David beard having ass n*gg*r.
Fuck Lloyd Banks and his pussy ass facial hair!

WOW
D-UNIT
banks and styles like working together i see
Rick Ross:

1. Big Mac Music (feat. Ronald McDonald & Hambulgar)
2. G-Shit (50 Cent Diss)
3. I’m Not A Star III (feat. Lil Wayne)
4. McRib Back (feat. Meek Mill)
5. Big Mac & Fries (feat. Drake & Wale)
6. Illuminati (feat. Jay-Z, Jay Electronica & J. Cole)
7. Big Fat Nigga (feat. Kanye West & Katy Perry)
8. Niggaz in McDonalds
9. Crack Game (feat. Gucci Mane & Waka Flocka Flame)
10. Subway (feat. Ludacris & Jared)
11. Breasts & Thighs (feat. Nicki Minaj)
12. Bitch Nigga (feat. T.I.)
13. Maybach Music IV- Finale (feat. Justin Bieber, Lady GaGa & Samwell)
14. Chocolate Rain (Yum) (feat. Tay Zonday) (Bonus Track)
Bank$ needs to start his own label & do a joint venture deal at this point. Stop being a slave to the majors
THIS NIGGA MAD GARBAGE THO U CAN HARDLY HEAR A FUCKING WORD HE SAYIN..STYLES P SHOUDNT BE WORKING WITH THIS CLOWN
banks always go hard. he’s not good as he was in his money in the bank days but he still kills most of these new niggas. my bro says weezy the punchline king. kids these days dont know banks held that title years ago. hope he bring it on cc2. when it comes to punchlines the only niggas fuckin with banks is fab, cassidy, jada, and ransom
This dude has the gayest sounding voice in rap right now, slightly above Plies and Lil B and Soulja Boy, guy’s voice is BORING and SOUNDS LIKE A HOMO.
Than G-unit and anyone who still even listens tot hese bums are a bunch of homo’s so this shouldn’t be a shock
Seriously nikkuh, seriously??!?!? i’m gettin sick n tired of ppl hatin on Banks…he’s easily Top 5 yet gets no respect for his craft. I can bet u ride Lil Wayne’s dick real hard huh, GTFOH wit tht nonsense!!
Yo my man fag or whateva u wanna call yourself, u need to shut the fuck up. Why the fuck would u click 2 see the track listing 4 cc2 if u know all u gon do is spread hate, but thats what ignorant people like u do i suppose. If u ask me it sounds like someones uncomfortable with themself as a man (or woman). Plenty of people still listen to G-unit and u just mad cause banks could eat ur favorite rapper without even havin to say his grace.
Its bout to be 2012 u need to grow the fuck up and stop livin a phony life real talk.
lookin forward to this more than any of the releases over christmas banks mixtapes are always good shit one the best mc’s around rite now
real hip hop artist
Banks is the illest. I lol’d at his response to the first tweet. “NO!”.
Team new bedford somehow got ahold of banks’s new mixtape early.. is it real??
