[QUOTE="HotNewHipHop, post: 64395, member: 83"] Despite how many Rap beefs have played out over the decades, not all were rooted in personal attacks. Many of Hip Hop's most cherished lyricism arrived in a diss track, and several were slung in the 2000s when Jadakiss and Lloyd Banks were actively involved in a scathing back and forth. These days, Jada and Banks have moved past any disagreements expressed on wax, even appearing on one another's records for years. The two celebrated New York emcees have mutual respect for one another, and in a recent conversation with [I]HipHopDX[/I], Banks revisited that time in his career. “I view that time from two different aspects because I was [URL='https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/lloyd-banks-names-his-top-5-rappers-with-the-best-punchlines-in-hip-hop-history-news.155922.html']fans of these guys[/URL] before I even came into the game,” he said. “And that’s not just for them, that’s for anybody who was in the game before us."
