We all know David Banner is not afraid to speak his mind, and is a leading voice in hip-hop. What if he was the president of hip-hop, you ask? We'll he'll tell you exactly what he'd do to clean the game up.

I can't take this guy seriously at all. He says one thing and does another.
Why doesn't he put his words to action? He talks about all of these problems but he adds to them by doing the exact thing that he criticizes.
Which one are you DAVID BANNER? Are you a Stunner or the humble person who wants so badly to fix all of these problems. You say that "rappers" have no respect and need etiquette classes, but you just dropped a song called "GET LIKE ME" where you tell us that "stunting is a habit".
Really? Why don't you respect your listeners and their situations. They can't all stunt, but you're flaunting your wealth to them. What good does that do? You're degrading those that have less. Oh, wait, I can hear it already. You're telling them to strive to have butterfly doors and money to burn right? That way we can all floss, right?
Wrong. It's not cool to be a materialistic person. People like you emphasize a lifestyle that is rare and can not be achieved or lived by most, so the misguided will go to any means to be like you. Some people that look up to you, will rob, steal, deal and kill to "GET LIKE YOU".
You're ok with that? You're polluting the hood that you claim you want to save. I don't want to "GET LIKE YOU". I want cats like you to either change your ways or stop using my cultures, AFRICAN AMERICAN and HIP HOP to build your wealth while simultaneously destroying them both.
You're no better than the whites who benefitted off of the backs of slaves. And no, I don't have a problem with all white people. I just have a problem with people in denial of the fact that they benefit from the misery and oppression of others. YOU, yes YOU David Banner are oppressing our people. Your people.
You are polluting the minds of the youth.
Like a Pimp, huh? Exactly. I couldn't have described you better myself.

I co-sign with a lot of what Tasteless. David Banner says one thing, then turns around and says another. I respect him, because he seems like a very intelligent brother. But some of his "theories" leave me dubious at times.

At one time I used to respect David Banner, but over these past few years he has also contributed to the decline of quality hip-hop music as well. His latest song and video reeks of the same over glamorization
of the culture in Hip-Hop. He parades himself in the video talking about the same bling and rim shit and this comes from a man who has a degree?I welcome him the opportunity to sit down to talk to me because the artists are the ones that are allowing the culture to get pillaged,freakin Idiots!

im going to give david the beneifit of the doubt because he was including himself by saying "we". If there is a problem with hip hop because there is no soul and its treated like a hustle then put some soul in it, respect the craft, and practice what you preach.

stevenyayo says...
He included himself but the thing is he is kinda forced to do it to sell some records. If he didnt rap about that then he prob wouldnt sell much. Tell me the last person who didnt rap about money cars clothes and jewels and bitches that went platinum or even gold?

Tasteless says...
Why do cats make excuses for grown ass men? Let David Banner defend himself.
Fuck what you're talking about Steve-O. I'm not feeling that hypocritical bullshit that David Banner is doing. I'd have more respect for him if he was just getting money and flossing and not riding the fence.

So people are finally starting to see what I've been saying all along.He is always hating on al sharpton but really he is no diffrent.He says on thing...does another.one day he's in a suit the next he's in a white t and timbs.One day he says we need to clean up hip hop the next day....we need to stunt like its a habit and get like him.what??????

Why does SOHH keep putting Banner on here? I am from Mississippi and i have no respect for David Banner, he talks about flossing, women in negative ways, and just killing people and then talks on TV like he is a Bishop of Pastor for hip hop. Action speaks louder than words, "Get Like Me", "9mm", "Play", and the list goes on. Also Mr.Banner if you are going to sample songs that were currently past hits, at least sample the legends of the south like Outkast, Goodie Mobb, Scarface, UGK, and some of the others, but not Young Joc. Come on, and then u turn around and sample Young Jeezy on your next single "Hello", i ususally try not to be so harsh with rappers, but David 35 year old banner, grow up and shut up. Deaushay

Lupe fiasco & Common was the last rapper's to go at least gold with out talking about money hoes clothes...it dosen matter if David Banner talks about bitches and bling..because he will never go platinum so he should stop selling out and being a desperate house nigger and stay true to his self and the craft..I cosign everything tasteless had to say...happy fathers day to all fathers

mississippi says...
The funny part is, why haven't David Banner Co signed any other Mississippi artist. Rumor is everytime a label is wanting to sign a rapper from Mississippi, David Banner is hating on them. Do he still has his ghetto pass in Jackson? Oh, yall don't know about all the people who helped him before he got signed and now he don't know them. These other industry guys really don't know the whole fucked up side about Banner, but the streets don't like him no more and why you think he's using Chris Brown to get back in the game. Don't hate on rap cause its evolving and people are making money for trying new shit. Bra you is wack and you fucked your whole state over. He try to go to do shows at high schools to keep his name good, Get the fuck outta here. This album will flop too.

mindsI says...
Everybody's a hypocrite. Everybody is human. I don't know wh@ type of contract he under wit his label but th@s probably the only way he can get out th@ shit. U either sell or flop. When u flop u owe. Who the fuck knows? As long as he put money in the hood for the good of a greater cause more power to him. Hip Hop can influence this and th@ but if u r a follower u fucked up from jump street and that aint got nothin 2 do with hip hop. I got more 2 say but I'll leave it @ th@. Peace

cavadias says...
David Banner not only is hypocrite but a black man with a 4 year degree from Southern University, yet he tells Al Sharpton to suck his dick and disrespects the older generation whom he has no respect for, but he won't call out any rappers by name that glorafies all the shit he suppose to be against, he a phony just like 90% of these artist out, Hip Hop is in dire straits how many artist are willing to step up to the plate and make a change.
June 15, 2008 7:01 PM
LikeAPimp says...
David Banner a hypocrite?
Yes, But.....But!!!!
Consider this, Nas released "You Owe Me", 2pac released a myriad of BS music that contradicted what he said. Biggie can be quoted on 'Dead Wrong' for saying "Im raping babies, no ifs ands or maybes".....So why doesnt anyone call those guys out?
if you watch "Fade 2 Black DVD", you'll see Jay having a conversation with a rapper discussing how he doesnt even like the subject matter he raps about, but feels the need to because he wants to get into the game.
AND ANYONE WHO WANTS TO ATTACK THIS POST ATTACK THE WHOLE THING AND NOT JUST CERTAIN PARTS!!!
