David Banner - "Play"
Posted on August 1, 2005 12:11 PM
With a little help from Lil Flip, David Banner made dem gulz get down on the flo. Luckily for us, he also makes them get down in the gym. David Banner begins his new life as a personal trainer in “Play.” [watch it now] Apparently Western Kenya ain’t the only rapper with a workout plan.
David Banner said “Shit, mane… I need me a 'Whisper Song'! YEAH!” I think he felt a bit left out/offended that he wasn’t invited to the original or the remix.
This video looks like a Bowflex commercial aired late night on The Negro Channel. Banner could probably sell a few home exercise sets with videos like this. I love how he has the boxing segment. In case you all were unaware of what Banner’s been up to… aside from producing some filthy ass beats, he’s been working with a young Mississippi girl for the filming of the new boxing film “Million Dollar Hoochie.”
Who does situps with sunglasses on? While that IS the most colorful gym I’ve ever seen, that can’t be the reason. Maybe they are to protect her eyes from the heat of the Black Hulk’s breath. With that said, I think David Banner would make an exceptional personal trainer. Imagine contemplating giving up on them last 3 or 4 situps and you've got Banner in your face talkin bout “DON’T PLAY WIT ME! DON’T PLAY WIT ME!” Them last few situps are getting DONE!
You start to get the feeling there wasn’t too much money to go into this video, huh? Not that there’s anything wrong with saving your money for more important things, but you can’t leave certain pieces of incriminating evidence around. For example, why are these girls using the “step” machines? I always thought they were the dumbest shit ever. Instead of using REAL stairs… or even a cinder block, you can pay $39.99 for a plastic step that you can… step on.
Banner… let’s get on late night BET and sell some Banner Steps! We can make a jingle and everything. Have the Ying Yang Twins coaching the girls on… wait… fuck Ying Yang, son! They ain’t let you on "The Whisper Song!" Let’s get this money, my nigga!

I think the "whisper" fad has passed.
i watched bet and saw the premier and everything and the reason the song sounds like the "whisper song" is because both was produced by Little X. David said that little x was going to have a whole bunch of other song that will add to the "whisper collection" and those songs will be like club songs. so in a box basically, david banner did not try to copy ying yang, it's just that little x is making a lot of "whisper" songs...and david banner did one as well as ying yang, which is why they sound alike.
BUT SINCE THIS IS TALKIN VIDEOS:
i was surprised, i assumed the video would be a combination of petey pablo freak-a-leak and ying yang the whisper song, and instead i get a remake of kanye's workout plan...hmmm...oh well, at least it's not as dirty as i thought it'd be.
I THOUGHT DJ SMURF DID THE BEATS??? DIDN'T MR COLLIPARK HIMSELF JUMP BOTH THEM SONGZ OFF??? ANYWAY ITS GOOD TO SEE BANNER DOIN' HIS THANG THE VIDEO COULDA BEEN BETTER BUT HEY I HOPE THATS ONLY THE DAY-TIME VERSION. HOPE HE GOT A RAW UNCUT VERSION @ MAGIC CITY!!!
I saw this video and the first thing I thought was "why in the hell is this video so damn colorful. Man, Ron Mexico should let this guy have it." Thanz Ron for talkin' about this joint. As if it wasn't bad enought to spoof Kanye's workout plan, and follow along in these make believe fad called "intimite club music" Mr. Mississippi also trys to "grown-n-sexy" himself. I mean what is with the GQ suit and the ostrich skin shoes in front of the skittle flavored back drops. How confused is that? He's reading the damn paper at the end. Come on Banner "dont play wit me" I know you got a degree, but what is in business admin or personal training?
They were both produced by DJ Smurf/ Mr. Collipark... and they definitely could have put a little more effort into this video. Ron- you should review the Uncut version when you can.
nice video
Trina... Little X is a music video director. Little X is known for doing a lot of the mainstream dancehall videos, so the colors make sense in that respect.
Yeah, Banner is a highly intelligent dude and I think he is a good artist... I actually thought the suits were clean. We've already seen the holy t-shirts, it's nice to see something different from Banner.
I just can't take him seriously in this role. Lover/personal trainer... it's hilarious to me.
oh sorry....
This is the wackest shit i've heard, i actually liked david banner before this! At least the whisper song was hot!
But the shorties in banners video are nice, they should do a remix, cut him out, drop the vocals & leave the beat with just the chicks in the video! Perfecto !!!!!!
1/2 of me says:
OoOoOo colour!! Its sooo bright...I must watch! David banner looks fresh 2 def
the other 1/2 says:
WHAT IN THE HELL?? If I was workin out I sure as hell would not like ANYONE that close 2 me...plus hes whisperin, thats hotter air!! Why is tha hat on his knee? What's it got 2 hide? If I was Kayne/Ying Yang I would sue...the only original thing that he didnt steal from their videos was himself
im ashamed off yall foreal...you should be thankful Big Banner gave us a chance to see him get his hoes ready for work....lol damn...but um i was in the club...and this song came on...after what i saw........this song is NOT wack..i never knew music did this to ladies...it feels like the immature era all over again
FEEEL THE FUUUUUUUNNNNK!!!!
lmao sorry i couldnt hold it yall
didn't you know? wack shit is perfect for the club.
a little drank in you... maybe some trees... real loud... people wantin to party... even terrible shit sounds okay... good shit sounds amazing... amazing shit really fucks you up.
and people are already ready to sweat it out.
the club changes the game.
The first time I saw this video it caught my attention right away (sweaty scantily clad video hoes do that to me). Yeah it will remind you of Kanye's "Workout Plan", without the nigga with the swole jaw (and head/ego). O.K. so he jacked the Ying Yang concept, but those tailor made suits put him head and shoulders above the "Orcs of Crunk". Banner is alot more believable than those two, given a dark club whipering scene. Yeah the day glo colors were different (and probably hella expensive), what more can you expect from Hype Williams protege, Little X, Mr. X or whatever he calls himself this week. Banner you should be proud of yourself, the next time a stripper grinds on a hard, fully clothed dick, it will be because of you, and your mama said you wouldn't be shit, proved her wrong didn't you?!
I love david banner he really is the sh*t he makes the most x rated song and i love it play is a freak song so if u not a freak then you shouldnt like it
TO DAVID BANNER, DON'T TRY TO TALK TO THE WOMEN, JUST STAY CRUNK AND COUNTRY. IS IT ME OR DOES HE ALWAYS LOOK LIKE HIS BREATH STANK
I never understood how you can whisper in a chick's ear at a club with loud music,but the songs alright so I'ma let that slide.This video did it for me,hot sweaty girls working out,you can never get too tired of seeing that now can you.
As a Mississippian, I can say that I AM PROUD of Mr. Mississippi. I am 40 years old and I heard it on the radio first. After working late into the night, I turned on my television, and what to my surprise but this big black boy whispering while wearing a light colored suit. I remember when my baby brother met David Banner years ago when he was up and coming. WOW. He sure has growed up. Whether folks know it or not, this song is a hit. This song is a natural aphrodisiac. I got warmer between the legs in the three or four minutes than I had in years, and I got a fine old husband. Hats off to Mr. Banner, and panties too. You have now officially pulled a physiological train on the 40+ crowd of ladies. He ain't too pretty but he sure can wear a suit. And the song is darn good too.
comment of the week!
