G-Unit's Lloyd Banks has opened up about the real motivation behind naming his upcoming Hunger For More 2 album after his 2004 debut.
Despite being the follow-up to 2006's Rotten Apple, the "Punch Line King" feels this new project shares various similarities to how he put together his multi-platinum debut.
"Me personally, I just want to be respected, I want to be on the wall," Banks said in an interview. "On the wall, before I'm dead. The Hunger For More Part 2, HFM Part 2 man, it's been about three years since my last album. My first album came out June 29th, '04, I remember it like yesterday. Part of the reason I decided to go with the title, HFM Part 2 was because everything happened to me, the ['Beamer, Benz or Bentley'] record came and it was like.
I felt the energy I hadn't felt since the beginning and at the same time, I had the bulk of the album done because I was in a mixtape vein and I just wanted to get the 'feel good' records out, the club joints, the car joints, and then just push from there. And I just had so many similarities from there, from writing, recording on the road, like, I wrote 'Warrior' and 'Fire' in London and then I wrote a few songs in Amsterdam, some in my neighborhood, so just with me moving around like that, I was like, 'You know what, I'm just gonna go back to that because it feels like a new beginning.' Crazy." (Power 106 KMEL & Sohh.com)
