Banner Keeps It Basic Behind The Boards "I Just Do Me"
Yesterday Banner kicked it on the ringtone rapper craze and a few folks took him to task on his place in the hip-hopisphere.

Which brings us to today's topic, Banner talks about his approach to producing hits.
Here's a rundown of some of the joints Banner has worked the boards on.
"Rubber Band Man" T.I.
"Countdown" T.I.
"Tip Drill" Nelly

"You cannot really be this narrow minded and hateful, and if you are, then I feel sorry for you. Part of a random-ass email from a concerned fan I received the other day
I think I asked this question around the same time last year, but I think it’d be thoughtless if I didn’t ask it again: have there been any rap albums that’s gone platinum this year? Once upon a time a rapper would make like EPMD and go gold in thirty days; now they just seem relieved to break the 500,000 plateau after damn near a year. Word to Algernod and Wasalu.
While most people are deft at throwing the blame at the lack of quality music and the eschewing of such sounds for ringtone bleeps and bloops, I’d like to think that a good chunk of the accountability could be placed squarely on detesters such as, well, a good chunk of the contributors on this site.
Contrary to what others may lead you to believe, most rap fans are nothing more than sheeple – lemmings, if you will – that will hop right on the ratchet of an artist who otherwise wouldn’t even be allowed to push a cripple across the street, much less sell records. It’s this slow-mo train of thought that allows label overlords (it’s gotten boring to call them TIs as of late) to prey on such weak-minded individuals, passing off shitbag reverberations as quality music. And to an extent the shit has worked, which is why you see more God(dess) awful rappers trying to emulate the sounds of today’s top-selling shit monkeys for fear that being different will garner no wages to spend making it financially precipitate on Nappy-Headed Whoreos in nudie bars and the like.
On the flip side, you also have the types who are simply fed up with t he bullshit in the Matrix and refuse to be caught up in it. No, I’m not talking about Internets Ninjas like DJ Chuck T and The Empire (although their cyber-martial arts ain’t nothing to fuck wit’ either), but the ones who see past the madness and – in their strange way of rebelling against (pimping of?) the system – plunder the music of their choosing. Shit, some of them even get lucky and get to spread their unholy gospel across the world in mediums like, well, this very site.
* Moves away from computer desk, stands on the arm rest of my couch and poses a la Randy Orton *
Then again, with gas hitting well over $4 a gallon in certain areas (read: where I live), the job market becoming ridiculously thinner by the minute (read: where I live) and the impassivity of a future without a cause running rampant (read: my narrow-minded, “hating†ass), some people would rather save their money – or spend it on items more worthwhile, like condoms and animal-style Double Doubles with cheese – than buy an album which the artist will likely never see a penny from. Shit, I just downloaded, hooked up and tossed three albums in my iPod Touch (fuck a Zune) as I wrote this mess; I’m pretty sure Mad Skillz won’t be mad that I just saved the non-existent royalties he’ll never see off of From Where??? from going into some Führer’s silver-lined pocket."
Banner deserves respect...people talk bout his radio songs..jayz,pac,ti,eminem,ugk, mjg and 8ball...they all kept it real but also did radio friendly songs...banner will b here 4 a long time...and hopfully muthafukas start respectin him like he deserves...also i got a email from a certain person here hatin on my comments...4 them..i might not be 'tha right color'...but that doesnt mean i dont undastand hip hop
I agree with G, Banner's song LIKE A PIMP was radio, but uplifting at the same time.
What people don't understand is that you CAN talk about uplifting the community AND tell girls to strip for their college educations at the same time. You see, that way they are uplifting their minds and asses simultaneously! That's the unseen genius of Banner's music.
I mean, come on people, can't you recognize this man is really for and about the people and not just cashing in on the ghetto's misery?
Banner's that dude...
Sheesh.
David Banner has his own video blog! He has some pretty cool shows on there, all that he produced himself! It's on his myspace! Check it out!
