phillup banks mr. commerical ALBUM REVIEW

http://www.datpiff.com/Phillup-Banks-Mr-Commercial-mixtape.214264.html

phillup banks is definitely the most constant emcee with the biggest grind in the lehigh valley. From dropping a new music video once a month to bi- monthly mix tapes. If there is a emcee in the valley who knows the road to success banks is definitely him. Though banks is most known for his raw street tracks such as "regrets, and calling me to his deeper cuts as "man in the mirror" his new album mr. commercial shows not only is banks the most constant emcee in the valley he is also the most versatile. This album is the album a artist would release if there looking for a deal so at first skip though this album seing the mainstream vibe of the album i was hoping banks woulnt be like most emcees and soften his lyrics for comerical success but lyrically banks is sharer then ever even though from the first track on the album i do have a complaint on the lack of originality since shorty sounds like a fat joe track but banks does hold lyrical strong. The one thing that does sray me away from the lyrics is the half-ass beat collection, yea this album is ment for commericial use but there are alot of commerical tracks with bumping beats. This album also lacks alot of depth this album 90 percent of it is a album meant for the ladies witch isnt a problem, since everyone's looking for love and some of the emcees who rep the ladies he hares are the strongest with the punchlines like fabulous. The albums stand outs are definitely feeing witch is a heavy hitting club track about seing a chick in the club you know is sweatin you hard. banks stays with his multi rhyme screams in this track from the begiign to end, and the track fawewell is also one of m favriote on this album. Its a coffesional track to a women a track everyman would have to relate to, creeping on a women, and most rappers brag aout i banks is asking for forgiveness thouhout this track. Overall if banks goal is airplay this is deffintly the album for it lyrically he still impresses to.
