So, I was thinking the other day, who would win a battle between Lloyd Banks and Joe Budden? Y'all remember Buddens, right? Yeah, that light skinned Jersey dude that made the streets "Pump It Up" back in '03? Damn, it's been that long?!!? LOL. Despite the fact that Joe has a 5 (almost) 6 year hiatus from the music industry, he's still managed to keep his name in the mouths of avid hip hop listeners by releasing mixtapes such as Mood Muzic Volumes 1-3, releasing his most recent one in 2008. Joe's only studio album to date was the self titled, "Joe Budden" released in 2003 (Def Jam/OnTop) and is currently working towards his 2009 release, "Padded Room" (2009 Amalgam Digital).

Banks on the other hand has been putting albums out since late 2003, starting with his debut album, "Hunger for More", (G-Unit/Interscope), and his sophomore album "Rotten Apple" (2007 G-Unit/Interscope). Even though Banks has an almost 2 year hiatus from the music industry, he's been keeping all his fans busy with mixtape releases like, "5 and Better: Return of the P.L.K.", "Halloween Havoc", and various G-Unit mixtape and album releases, such as "T.O.S." (2008 G-Unit/Interscope). It's said that there was a time when the fans felt Lloyd Banks had fell off, temporarily surrendering his self proclamed title, P.L.K.(Punchline King). But now Banks is back even hungrier than what his debut album's title suggested back in '03, and he's doing it!! My thing is, both artists are extremely talented. But I wanna know from the people's standpoint, who's hotter????

**Update** 7/6/09


With this new talk about Joe Budden saying that he wants to do a track with Banks, and that Banks fell off, I wanna know who's better. Banks done came out with 2 more mixtapes since I originally wrote this article. Both mixtapes were official. Joe Buddens done released his album, The Padded Room, and it didn't do well in sales, but was from what I heard a good album. His true masterpiece however, comes in the form of a group called Slaughterhouse. When those dudes get together, they're damn near unstoppable. But Banks is also a force to be reckoned with. The question still remains... who's hotter?

i'ma go wit budden... after hearing dat 16 min who killed hip hop song dat changed the game
That's one thing Buddens is definitely a beast at. He goes in on them long jumpoffs. There's no counting how many punchlines this n**** be spitting in those s****. That gives me an idea for an invention. The Punchline Meter. You can hook it up to your computer or iPod and it'll count the punchlines in a song and even rate them from "weak" to "tough." lol.
BANKS

THEY HAD BEEEF BEFORE BUDDEN DROPPED SOME GOOD LINES BUT

UR NOW IN THE COMPANY OF GREATNESS I ONLY LIKE GREEN FACES IM A RACIST-BANKS


U CANT F*** WITH THAT!
That's official. I ain't even know Banks said that s***. I like that.
Joe Budden IS NICE
lloyd banks
lloyd banks f*** joe
gotta go with banks. i havent heard anything wack from him this year. evry song go hard: top 5, i am legend, and the 2 mixtapes are fire. hes getting better. hes better now than the 06 banks. now he gotta get to that 02-03 banks and its over for these other rappers.
I agree. Banks is stepping it up. He ain't playing with these niggas out here. I though "Halloween Havoc" and "Return of PLK" was about to be trash, based on my '06 perspective of his efforts, but he really came through on these ones. Even Yayo's "Black Friday" caught me off guard.
joey all day
Bank$
banks! i tink he is one of the strongest ppl in rap at d mo!! (no homo)
