Lloyd Banks Names Top 5 Fav Producers (Video)

"One of the first questions [XXL] asked me is my top five producers of all-time," Banks said in his video blog. "I definitely gotta start with Dr. Dre. His beats have been influential, you can't even put an amount, probably one of the first vinyls I had [was from Dre] -- so that was crazy. Just to be able to rap over all those [instrumentals]. I would carry that around because I loved the production so much -- I definitely gotta say Swizz Beatz. I gotta put him up there, he's done countless hits over and over again so definitely Swizz Beatz. I enjoy Kanye West, what he's brought to the game, his production is crazy -- Havoc from Mobb Deep is definitely one of my personal favorites. I just feel the sound he captures, ah man, it just brings me back to when I first got into rap...DJ Premier, DJ Premier brings me back to that 1990's feel so I definitely gotta put him in there and there's a lot more producers, but I haven't worked with y'all so y'all don't get a shout-out 'til I do."
