for me hunger for more is in my top 10

he really spits fire on sme tracks

rotten apple set album of to a sick start with a classic versee by banks n 50

but i say 4 5 tracks that just sound the same which really let me down

but its still a 4 just not banks best work

iceman,rotten apple,get clapped,playboy 2the cake,addicted,NYNY,you now the deal hardd songs

worth the money

he also has alot of features u wuldnt expect a g unit artist to have

Great stuff from lloyd banks G Unit never let you down. Not as good as hunger for more but still worth 5 stars. Buy both from play.com

When I first heard this cd i wasn't impressed at all. There was only 3songs i immediately liked "cake", "hands up" and "NY NY". However, the more i've listened to it the more it grew on me. Songs such as "playboy 2", "rotten apple" and "One Night Stand" have grown on me massively.

Definately worth purchasing..

There was something special about Lloyd Banks' Hunger for More. It was his hunger. He proved to be mighty with the pen, ready with the clever punch-lines and went on to showcase a charismatic "playboy" persona, all while making millions. And while selling records can't be too much of a negative thing, it can sometimes diminish hunger. Love'em or hate'em, you couldn't really front on the production that backed G-Unit for their first couple years in the game. With their last couple releases, namely Mobb Deep and Yayo, the sureshot production was a round of blanks.
Nevertheless, Banks is here to fend off the infamous sophomore jinx cliché on Rotten Apple. He came out the gates equipped with the radio/club single in Hands Up. The romantic angle is covered by the Keri Hilson assisted Help. Add in a Southern posse cut (Iceman Feat. Young Buck, 8Ball and Scarface) and you've got the usual G-Unit formula in full effect. Unfortunately, this time around, it ain't working. The trite love song Help fails to convince anyone, especially after declaring you "wouldn't buy a chick a pump who had asthma." Guests appearances from Buck, Prodigy, Yayo and 50 are all forgettable performances and Rakim isn't even really featured on the song, his voice is just sampled in the hook.
All in all, he shows from time to time that he can still get with the multi syllabic rhyme schemes, which can sometimes balance out the uninventive topics. Hearing about guns, money and women gets old fast, but hearing his clever use of multis and punches makes it more intriguing. But it's pretty clear the hunger is no more and for the most part he chooses to sleepwalk through song after song.
Even the usual dependable production falls short for most of the album. Both 9th Wonder and Young RJ provide duds and Ron Browz is greatly inconsistent. Much like Banks' rapping, the beats just plod along. It is easy to expect less from some of his less talented G-Unit brethren, but Banks has shown himself to be capable of a lot. Minus a few moments where he shines, this album is as rotten as the City.

Props to HiphopDX

I have given Rotten Apple 5 stars because I think that it is probably the best G-Unit Records album out up to now and it deserves it anyway. With guest appearences from 50 Cent, Tony Yayo, Young Buck, Rakim, Mobb Deep, Spider Loc and more, how bad can it be when all those are also great rappers, great production too. One of the only things that lets it down is the way that the song 'My House' isn't on it, when it clearly states on the sticker on the front that 'My House' is on it (and no its not a hidden track either), apart from that its still ace. There are some great summer tunes on it too. Some of my favourite tracks are 'Rotten Apple', 'Survival', actually forget that, they are all brilliant and must be played loudly on your sound system haha. Great work Banks and G-Unit. Well worth the money, trust me, so buy it...
