Yanno so if you grow up in the suburbs or you out of the country or whatever maybe my personal experiences will make you appreciate your neighborhood better.

So it's certain things that when I make a record or my album where I'm tellin' you I don't care about your *oooohs and ahhhhs* I just feel like you need to know this.

[4]During the first week of The Hunger For More's release, a distribution house in Manhattan was robbed of approximately eight boxes of the CDs (200 copies).

[5] In support of the album, G-Unit/Interscope Records released three singles with accompanying music videos.

[6] Steve 'Flash' Juon of RapReviews claimed: "while it's not better than 50's national debut or G-Unit's album, it's certainly no worse".

[8] Rondell Conway of Vibe stated: "while he excels in clever jousting, Banks lacks range and storytelling ability".

Online reviewer found "the one thing Banks lacks is Fiddy's natural charisma--he's also about eight bulletholes short in the "life-experience department".

[10] Dean Kuipers of Los Angeles Times wrote: "though not one of the songs on the album stands out in terms of head-popping new production -- there's not a hit that will transcend the hip-hop hard-core -- each cut is utterly bulletproof, and Banks' lyrics provide a few new twists".

[12] In mixed reviews, Chairman Mao of Blender resumed: "while Banks's wicked wordplay is impressive, his one-liners get him only so far".

[9] Jon Caramanica of Rolling Stone concluded: "Banks... raps each verse as if his entire career depends on it".

"That showed me that following 50's moves and studying the way that he played the game had put me in an incredible position".
