about The mtv Lloyd Banks Punch Line Poll

Lloyd Banks' solo debut, The Hunger for More, is finally out, and when you hear him brag that we'll be hard pressed to find a rapper hotter than him, he's talking the gospel like Mase on Sunday morning. The Queens native lays it on thick during his album's 14 tracks, making a run for the title of the game's top lyricist with a blitzkrieg of punch lines.

These lines are so good that MTV has compiled a list of highlights. Vote on which one is your favorite, and see if we agree. Like Banks, we can battle you all day!


"I'll be damned if I'll co-sign [vouch for] an old snitch/ That was gangbanging when Jaws was a goldfish" (from "Ain't No Click")

Imagine the open seas' most ferocious body-chomper as an itty-bitty kiddie: Welcome to the devilish mind of Lloyd Banks.


"Don't confuse me with these suckers/ 'Cause when I spit, you hear more 'ooohs' than a 'Skip to My Lou' move at the Rucker" (from "I'm So Fly")

L.B. references one of the most famous And 1 players and pats himself on the back. Multitasking never sounded so good.


"As soon as you ain't around, Jake, you get your ass whipped for chips/ And that's the real definition of poundcake" (from "Work Magic")

Hearing how Banks uses food to describe a robbery makes us cringe at what he'll think of to describe jaywalking.


"A hood rat'll put her future in a fool pants, till she find out you can't buy furniture with food stamps/ A year ago I made a decision before I shut my eyelids/ Pray to God I get shot tomorrow, 'cause I don't like surprises" (from "Die One Day")

The Boy Wonder proves he's never scared while sharing food for thought with the chicken heads. See? Rappers can teach.


"Yeah, he's talkin' sh--, but we can tell he's ass/ Jabs will black his eyes like the R. Kelly mask" (from "Work Magic")

Yeah, that's a hot line. But if Banks wants to really impress us, he'll rap about making someone's pupils bulge like Elton John's diamond sunglasses.


"And them n---as in New York know the man is a monster/ And I ain't from Atlanta, but I'll A-Town stomp ya" (from "If You So Gangsta")

Please, don't let him start doing the Muscle or the Rockaway. There'll be more havoc on the dance floor than Bobby Brown at an Usher party


"I ride on Davins by the pair/ But when you stop, the only thing still spinning is your hair" (from "On Fire")

It's not enough to have waves in your hair if you're a member of the G-Unit: Your wheels have to be up to par.


"Where I'm from, the little kids ain't f---in' with Santa/ 'Cause they love Tupac more (Word?)/ Word to my grandma" (from "Playboy")

"Ho, ho, ho?" No, no, no. According to the Boy Wonder, the shorties around his way would much rather hear "I Get Around" than "Jingle Bells." Guess the only big man in a red suit they want to see is Suge Knight.


"Hounding him is a big mistake/ He won't surrender, he'd rather give up a rib to break/ 'Cause he remembers when they wouldn't lend a helping hand/ 'Till he was sittin' on green like a Celtics fan" (from "Warrior Part 2")

"Banks blows more cake than birthdays." With all the money the G-Unit's made in the last couple of years, we're sure all those hands looking for help are now fully extended.


"When I was 10 years old, I seen a n---a take three to the head/ Probably around the same time you used to pee in the bed/ I stayed awake 'cause my nightmares were seeing him dead" (from "South Side Story")

Lloyd articulates his hard-knock life with a staunch verbal grimace.
