I'm tired of David Banner's phony ass...

[Zero]

He can be annoying at times. But phony is a lil harsh. I think he has just evolved from seeing the rap/music industry from the inside.

I rather see him "trying" to make some changes in the black community rather than being older still rapping about guns, gangs, and drugs and completely ignoring the black community issues....

Give me a "phoney " trying to help his people than a real ni66a not doing shyt and promoting negativity all day

Stop settling for mediocrity

Cadillac's on 22s

that song >>>>> all this conscious stuff he on

 

[GoldenGlove]

Terrible thread

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

Dude started pandering to women so he can get that Hotep Speaking money and be looked at as an elder in the community.
That being said, he's still a wise brotha.

Stop settling for mediocrity

people love settling for that just becasue a nikka sayin shyt like "Black power" "Black people stand up" etc

like I said Conscious rappers can get away being average whereas rappers in other genres wouldn't be able to.

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

He was always conscious, though...he just got on that pro-female tip because of the new intersectionality tumblrina bullshyt that has infected the consciousness of melanated people.

 

[Cadillac]

He's coming off as forced and that pro black wave is heavy on IG. It really just seems as if he's riding a new wave. He didn't just become conscious. I remember that Cadillacs o. 22s song. He wanted to be the next big thing when the dirty south movement started to pop off in the early 2000s but it didn't happen for him. Now he's on some super contrived pro black pan African tip that's so see through.

shyt is so forced as fukk I just cringe when I look at his twitter and see his tweets he makes people be thinking this nikka is some really deep thinker Im like

 

[Cadillac]

its the classic fall off hustle.

When youre original career doesnt pan out...turn into a "black intellectual".
It used to be turn into a Pastor...but with youtube, people dont need a congregation anymore.
You can just talk on a camera and claim to be intelligent.

realest shyt said in here.

Im sure many who arent speaking from ignorance and know Banner's catalog know that.

like that song Cadillac on 22s has a message you can put in that category.

I'm using the word conscious as just a term for the new style he is on now.

 

[50CentStan]

David banner is a clown, went from saying "Poke your girl all in her throat and make her swallow the nut" to being all righteous. Flip floated all over that beat

I'm not big David Banner fan in the first place.... but it's just weird how everybody shyt on a dude for "trying" do something positive whether it's genuine or not. I mean would people rather him talking and rapping about the same shyt he was own 10 years ago?

Its a lot of shyt I don't agree with him on, but I give him props for trying to start a dialogue about a lot of shyt that most rappers ignore

I

Exactly.

What's crazier is that he was always like this. I don't even think people even recall him being on Hip Hop panels with T.I. and Michael Eric Dyson discussing police brutality. I mean people are pointing out that he made "Like a Pimp" and "Cadillac On 22's". That should be enough to tell them that he's always had songs that contrasted with and contradicted the messages he had in others.
