Title: David Banner
Post by: Lincoln on January 02, 2004, 04:55:57 PM
I've been sleeping on this guy. I'll admit, I wrote him off as another crunk rapper but then I remember reading in XXl about his political rhyming. Now I'm digging this cat like crazy. Anyone digging this guy?

BTW anyone know a website which sells Crooked Lettaz?

I hate political music.  I loved "Like a Pimp".  Go figure.

I like "Like A Pimp", it's a straight banger, but Banner ain't your average Crunk artist, there's a lot of lyrically interesting songs on "Mississippi" plus he's a great producer. Go cop "Mississippi: The Album", it's one of my favs of 2003

Yeah, he's pretty good. Coincidentally I'm downloading that Mississippi album right now :)

I downloaded "Mississippi: The Album" after a few dudes said it's one of the best south-releases ever, but I was disappointed, because there's to much Blues-influence in his music. Alright, he grew up with Blues, and so it's nothing to say against some Blues-influence in his music, but I don't like that style. It was one of the biggest disappointments for me in 2003.

Banner is an accomplished producer and a very dope emcee. People write him off because they ASSUME he's a crunk rapper. You know what happens when you assume right?

He is a crunk rapper, at least there's several songs you could call "crunk", but unlike many crunk rappers he's pretty versatile and has sum interesting lyrics

Banner has never been a "Crunk" rapper to me. He's always been different, since the Crooket Lettaz days.

I guess he's aight, not really feelin' him though. "Like A Pimp" was bangin' for months though. I especially liked the version with the Pac Man beat.
