Look at how news came out of Kanye and 50 "secretly" speaking for months. Then comes Kanye "suddenly" praising Banks. Then comes Banks on a feature with one of the Biggest rappers in the game. Jay-z artist might I add. Chris could have been doing similar things with Jay. He already somewhat established and is surely more appealing than J.Cole (who's still unknown after how long with Roc Nation??). I guess when your "boss" claims to be a man behind a desk, yet wants more camera time than any rapper alive, this is the outcome...
Banks has made hits, what hits has Chris made? A label aint gonna back a nigga who isn't bubbling or show they can make them money, those mixtape tracks Chris makes is cool and all but that shit don't mean shit if you can't make your ''beamers, benz, o bentelys'' or "on fire". I doubt Banks will do anything, with his album either, his singles might pop but if 50 can't sell records i doubt banks will, not even a Kanye cosign will help. How is he more appealling than Cole when Cole is selling out and touring big concerts, has two hits on the radio (All i want is you, and Who dat). Like i said, stars are just stars, they will find a way to shine, if Chris can't blow up after 10 years then it's probably not his destiny. You can real stars who are barely selling records (Luda, Fab,etc), what makes you thin someone like Chris would. What has he done since leaving Rocafella/Def Jam to show you he is making noise and on any ones radar?
