G-Unit's Lloyd Banks is reportedly taking a cue from 50 Cent and considering incorporating other musical genres on his Rotten Apple follow-up album.
While he is known for gritty street rhymes, Banks says he can also slow things down with his R&B writing skills.
"The music overseas, the party atmospheres -- it's incredible," Banks explained in an interview. "Don't get me wrong, I love the club scenes in New York City and the States, [but] when you go overseas, you might hear [the Black Eyed Peas singing] 'Toniiight's gonna be a good night.' You're hearing that in the club 10 times. So if you didn't know that joint, I come back over here like, 'You don't know that record? You're buggin' -- that's poppin!' That record, Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, Lady Gaga -- you're hearing so many different records, it makes you want to expand as an artist and get records that's enjoyed by all people. They're definitely gonna hear those kind of records from me too...A lot of people don't know I write more than rap music. I can write R&B records. I can write hit records -- just put it like that. Hopefully I'll be writing for a few more people in the future."
What you gys think? do you think its a wise move for banks to start writin R n B tracks.
