    This album is tight as hell, with slick metaphors and hard punchlines that leave 50 and the rest of G unit for dead. Looks like we know where the true future of G unit is at. Best songs....If you so gangsta, Im so fly and Warrior

    This Cd is hot, its short of a classic but its definetly better than what most critics are saying; I cant put it down. It aint better than 50s 2nd album, but better than S.O.Cashville

    The songs are still tight ...but i found the songs really commercial ...Ive listened to all Lloyd Banks underground stuff and they are way better...But his punch lines are still creative and artistic and much of my own style was derived from him .....

    this album is raw gutter you gotta love it i love his gentle but precise delivery also the combination of straight lyrical diversity and over all slickness i nead music thats really relaxing and that falls into the catagory my favourite tracks would be if you so gangsta and till the end my opinion is that lloyd banks is equally talented if not more than fifty 10 out of ten till the end

    Fuckkk what every one else say this CD is tight as hell, ya'll need to listen to his words and to what he is saying and to all those punchlines. he can make most of those tracks one of his singles. Lloyd Banks is sick. LOOK OUT FOR ME *MoFlo* AND THE REST OF THE FANATICS WE COMING SOON

    I like the C.D.. I dont know why or how come.. but it was way better then i would of expected expecially from G-Unit. Better then 50 cents C.D.s put 2gether fav songs: Til The End, Work Magic, Die One Day, I Get High, Im So Fly and Karma

    This is a SOLID album, banks does everything he needs to do..theres a mixture of mad different types of sogns.party sogns, hood songs, chick songs, and real songs about his life...Only reason i gave it a 7 was because "Best Of Lloyd Banks pt.1" was SOOOOOOOO good that i expected this album to be hte hottest thing i ever heard, but at teh end of the day 7 outta 10 is good

    By far the best rapper on G-Unit. This album is an instant Classic with the right guests and lyrics. Lloyd Banks changed the game alot since 2005 and he will keep doing it until he is dead. Lloyd Banks is onlly one of the few people who are going to bring Hip-hop bank

    Though not one of the songs on the album stands out in terms of head-popping new production -- there's not a hit that will transcend the hip-hop hard-core -- each cut is utterly bulletproof, and Banks' lyrics provide a few new twists. [18 Jul 2004]

    Despite these minor flaws, "The Hunger for More" serves its purpose in establishing Banks as a new voice in hip-hop.

    The one thing Banks lacks is Fiddy's natural charisma--he's also about eight bulletholes short in the "life-experience department."
