G-Unit rapper Lloyd Banks has been talking about how he has been inspired by Wu-Tang Clan member, Raekwon.

After hearing a track by The Chef, Banks knew he had to step up the levels before he got into the booth to collaborate with him.

Lloyd Banks told VIBE Magazine: “Soon as I heard Raekwon’s verse on ‘Last Train To Scotland’ it was on some storytelling s**t, so I already knew what I had to do with it.

“Rae is one of the best at that, so his verse opened up my mind. It wasn’t like I had a blank beat to go off of.

“It’s crazy because I’d already planned on going back into the storytelling thing on my next project, that’s a cool start for me.

“It’s actually easier for me to paint pictures as far as stories because it’s less punchlines; it’s more out the mind. It’s different than having to break your brain to come up with a witty line.”

[SOHH features a new entertainment personality each week to name who they feel is the most underrated. After Bubba Sparxxx gave Rich Boy the title last week, today, "6'7'" producer Bangladesh crowns Lloyd Banks SOHH Underrated.]

Hmm, who is the most underrated artist? Lloyd Banks is a good choice for SOHH Underrated. I always feels the same way Kanye West feels about Lloyd Banks being the most underrated.

I don’t know what’s going on with [G-Unit], but if I had Lloyd, I would use him differently. Lloyd Banks is a good writer. I don’t know if he does hooks and ghost writes but there’s a lot of ways he could use his skills.

Lloyd’s got a talent that he can go far with and he’s really a dope rapper. I love all of his music, but I just want to hear him on some other beats sometimes. I want to hear him go outside the box.

Lloyd Banks has always been good. I always felt Lloyd Banks was great. Hopefully if he reads this we can get it in and sh*t. I want to get with Banks so we can make some smash hits. I f*ck with Lloyd. I think Pusha T‘s probably another underrated artist as well. There’s a lot of underrated artists when you think about it. The problem is you just got to put in the work.

Bangladesh is a producer known for working with Ludacris, 8 Ball & MJG, Petey Pablo, Missy Elliott, Young Money and others. Most recently, he is recognized for his Lil Wayne collaborations, “A Milli” and the “6 Foot, 7 Foot” smash.
