Oh, I don't know. I've just watched that in a minute.
Poor righteous teacher
That's Walker Crunkkeye from the hood
Recently I've never thought
That I would see a headline that rang
David Banner gets arrested
Yeah
What happened?
Well, first of all this is what I want to clear up
Is that
First off, I'd like to thank you for wanting to clear this up with us
That's very appreciated
And you came out of your way and we appreciate it
It's all good
Because you know this is this is a rapper's
This is a rapper's format
Rappers should feel like they got a chance to come up here and express.
So I really appreciate you coming up here.
But let's get to that.
So this is what I want to say, first of all.
I did not get arrested over trying to get in no fucking club.
First of all, I could buy a club.
Just make some noise for David Ben to me.
Did they ask for your autograph?
I swear every time you go to jail.
So this is what's crazy.
First of all, I have to say that what I try not to do anymore, I try not to talk to, like, white media at all too much.
Let's make some noise for us not being white.
You got to have to follow with us, man.
Black Cuban media.
And what happened was this.
I got to give TMZ a shot, though, because they did try to call me and get my side of the story.
But what I will say is that what happened was,
So we, first of all, I'm out with one of my best friends.
He's a doctor.
So it wasn't even like I was out with my hood homeboy in the D.C.
I was out with some doctors.
And so, you know, I'm trying to get, we're all in the club.
It's about six or seven of us.
What kind of club was this?
It was club, like, Ozio.
Oh,io.
No, just regular club.
So I walk up, you know, security guard, do their thing.
Hold up, hold up.
I fall all the way back into the street.
Like, now I'm good.
dog if you know I'm not gonna do that you know I'm not gonna you know big no
motherfuckers to get in no club that ain't what I do so I fall back to start
signing if you go back and look at Instagram you see all the pictures I was out
there signing autographs taking pictures right so then I noticed there was one
white person at the door and all these big black like big black bodyguards
so I walked up to one of the bodyguards and I order bouncers and I was like yo
dog whispered in his ear like look home boy it's a real bad look that
you have all these black folks
out here spending all this money
and y'all got this white person at the door
barking on them like an overseer
dude turns around and looks
at me and basically like
it's my job like Ben and you
you're right
I don't want to get that the white person came
and barked on me
nigga like
what are you talking about
nigger? He didn't say niggas
I said enough
niggas I think it would have been
charged at that point
And the thing was
I can't really go as much
into what happened after that point
But the thing was
It was never about no club
It was about how people were treating my people
And I'm like man
I've never been that kind of dude
To just sit back and watch
Fucks you go on
You're from Mississippi
Right damn straight
So the thing was
This is what I will say
Is once the show is on
It's on
Like I hadn't even felt that way
And like
You unwrap on that point
like six years. I hadn't been that
angry. And I wasn't angry
even about what the white person
said. The same guy that I was
talking to turned around
after they
disrespected me
and then I said what I had to say to them.
I was done. Then he turns around
and boils up at me.
No, sir. One thing I want to tell
people, regardless of what I am, whether I'm an
activist, whether we back on the
whatever it may end up being, I'm a man
before I'm anything. Right, right.
And if kids don't know nothing else but this, I tell them all the time.
Before I'm a rapper, before I'm a whatever the fuck it is, I have to be a man first.
And I have to defend what I believe is my honor.
And that was it.
The only thing that pissed me off that I really wanted to talk about was black media.
It's like we cut in pace what these conglomerants give us.
And we don't even take up for our folks.
I remember going to Ebony and Jet.
And they said back in the day it used to be this un-uneruner.
just unknown rule that we look out for our own folk first.
And they ain't do that.
Like, all the work that we do.
When you say black media, like you remember anybody?
No, I don't go into specifics,
because when you go in the specifics, you make it petty.
Right, right.
If they did it, they did it, they know who they are.
We petty as hell over.
It's okay.
You can be petty.
One thing I say, though, is that they said on the Ricky Smiley,
so I really respected them.
They said something that was really dope.
It's like, we know Banner.
Right.
This dude ain't wait all this time to go to jail now.
Right.
Without something, like, they had to do something to do.
Like, as much shit as he do, like, we got too much to lose on that bullshit.
So, like, for our folks and for so-called hip-hop blogs and places that say they're for hip-hop,
when all they really do is take away.
They sit back and wait for some petty shit to happen.
It's clickbait.
They just want to, yeah.
And that shit was some fuck shit.
Let me ask you something.
When people do it.
do report
irresponsible journalism.
Like,
why do you care, though?
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Because, you know, this game is fucked
up from the beginning. Like, this is not a new thing.
Let me tell you the only reason why I care.
One of my home girls teaches
a male magnet school
in Harlem.
And she called me and she
said, the boys are really confused.
Wow. To about the children. Yeah, the children.
It was like, you know,
they see you and they watch all of your
interviews and then they only hear
what TMZ says and they're real
confused and then I thought about it I was like
I only care because
I am one of the few people man that
these kids at least consider
they may not even listen but they be like
damn we know where Banner
come from so Banner talking that shit
maybe
I can fuck with it for a second
and it's not
enough of us yet to lose them
so like with me not
responding back they only
had with white media and the clickbaiters
told them, so I had to go
somewhere and say something.
And let them know it was about honor, not getting
in no fucking club. Because honestly,
I can give a shit less with anybody think.
But what I always tell black folks,
is if I had you, or people of
culture, if I had you,
I wouldn't need them.
If our folks put me in movies,
I wouldn't have to go fucking audition.
If our folks bought records,
we wouldn't have to go big and hope
if their motherfucks could give us some kind of
I don't fucking need them.
I only care what the kids think.
And when she called me and said, like, the kids are confused.
I was like, I gotta say something.
Fuck all the rest of them.
I'm grown.
I can get really good shit less.
Right.
You know.
And you made a great career.
What did they book you on exactly?
What was the charge?
No, you was out there already, right?
Oh, you're talking about the charges.
What was it?
Oh, you can't really speak on now.
No.
No, I'm really, I'm really.
I think the fifth.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now, we got to describe this shirt you have on right now, my brother.
What is that?
Some expensive.
That looks like it's from Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe.
He's right?
He's actually right?
Zimbabwe?
He got the right country at all?
Zimbabwe?
I wish y'all did.
I know he helped me out.
Let's make some noise.
I'm going to tell y'all story real quick.
This is some real shit.
A lot of people don't know.
I've been knowing nowhere for over 15 years.
years. I've been knowing you right around 10 years. Back when I was in a group, Cricket
Letters, they really had shelved us because they didn't know what the fuck to do with a group
from Mississippi, especially no motherfuckers that can rap and penalty. So Norrie, that's when
he had the big million dollar video. Talk about it, David Bannon. We didn't stop it. He had
the big million dollars. And let me tell you what this man said. This man went to Neil Levine
and told him because they didn't have no budget for us to shoot no video. Really what I
found out is I moved to New York homeless.
Norrie knows I was homeless in New York.
They shelved us and I told Neil Levine
I'm gonna be at penalty every fucking day
and I was there every morning
before anybody got there sitting there waiting
for the label to open up.
And it was this big black motherfucker
waiting for this little short white guy every day.
So they put my out, they actually put
their only shit like I think it was
20,000 copies. We sold 17,000.
Right. And Norie loved our music so much.
He saw the South, like, before it had literally got hot.
Please, please.
And he went up and jumping on the motherfucking seats and shit.
And he was like, y'all, get them boys $20,000 out of my million dollar budget and let him shoot a movie.
God damn it, make some noise for me.
He said, Dave Bellen, you got to go in there and throw some shit.
Don't hit the white dude.
But go in there and throw some shit.
Don't touch him, though.
Because you touch him.
And I really appreciate him because he didn't have to do that shit, bro.
He actually jumped on the record for free.
I appreciate you remembering that.
And not only that, but you was producing.
You, yeah.
This motherfucker gave me my first check.
Hold on.
Fuck that.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
He said, I wasn't going to say it, but I was going to hint on that motherfucker.
Listen, listen, this is real talk.
I was homeless.
Literally, like, I was sleeping at the time I was sleeping on Wendy Day's floor.
I was literally homeless.
Shout out to Wendy Day.
And the first.
Like, he gave me enough money off the first beat that I ever sold to somebody cash
so I could live the rest of my time in New York.
And so, like, I really, really appreciate him.
You knew how expensive it was.
But the beach was jam to too, you know?
Listen, I like to be the guy to always discover a producer first.
I don't know why.
Like, it's been...
Don't say to death to him.
Listen, man.
You bring them up.
You bring them up, not me.
But you know what I'm saying?
I always like to be the guy.
And I knew I knew you was going to be the guy.
Now, it brings me to ask you, Dads.
It says, you did, I ain't mad at you.
Yeah.
How many platyms did that sell?
Well, I forgot.
How did you make that joint?
Now, when you made that joint, was it for Pock or you just?
I was just, you know, vibing in the room.
You know what I'm saying?
Right.
It's like whoever I make beats in the morning.
So whoever gets, you know,
that's what we go to, you know what I'm saying?
It's like serving, you know what I'm saying?
You know, Shughead called me,
say, what's up, man, you know,
Tupac's flying in and I meet us at the restaurant.
So, you know, me and Superfly, we go to the restaurant.
He's like, man, you're ready?
I'm like, yeah, I got some beach for you.
So we drop him off, I go get a sack.
I'll come back.
He didn't lay the ambitious of a ride
and I ain't mad at you.
Same day?
Yeah, same night.
God damn it.
You know what I'm saying?
Like 1.30 in the morning, you know what I'm saying?
And I dropped the other two.
The next morning, that's from Snoop walking.
Wow.
We do, you know, gangster party.
Stang!
Dad has just flossed on all of us.
What's just real?
Do you know, when you do songs, it's 50-50.
You know what I'm right?
Right, right, yeah.
So, you know, the publishing is good.
Wow.
Especially when that movie come out, you did.
Wow.
Now the movie you talk about is the Tupac movie.
Yeah, the Tupac by you.
Are you scoring that?
All my music, I just talked to LT today.
He's like, man, all your music is in the act.
I know.
Who L. T.
L.T. Hutton.
Oh, okay.
So, you know, my son is playing me in the movie.
Oh, sure.
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
That's right.
That's right.
You know, this is a good thing.
Then the dogpower movie after that.
Oh, yeah, you know, a DPG for life.
Okay.
Now, you worked with Pimsy.
Oh, you knew Pimsy.
Let's describe for our listeners.
You know, he's a legend on our podcast.
He's a legend in life.
He's a legend in life.
He did.
Pimsy.
When was the first time you met PemC?
Well, this is what happened.
I sampled his voice while he was like a P.
Oh, I thought you know each other at that time.
No, no, no, no, no.
I just said, I'm learning something.
It was crazy about that.
I didn't even like the beat.
The only reason why I used the beat,
because I was bartering with Flip at the time.
Flip was from Houston.
And I was like, let me put him on this beat,
and then I'll go back and change the beat.
on DJ Will from New Orleans heard it and said,
dog, if you put this out, your life will change in two months.
Literally, I flipped it over and used that song.
My life literally changed in two months.
Wow.
So what happened was, bro, is I started writing Pempsie,
because I was like, man, this dude has changed my life without even trying.
His voice changed my whole entire life.
So instead of sending him, like, naked pictures of broads
and all that kind of shit, I was like, yo,
Pimp don't know how to use a drum machine.
So I took pictures of the job.
drum machine so like he could put
the Polaroids together and I taught him how
to use a drum machine while he was in jail.
Because he's locked up. In case anybody doesn't know this.
Right, right. He was locked up.
This just sounds like the smartest shit I've ever heard.
Right.
Sounds mad complicated.
This is on your break out of jail.
And then the other shit I did
was, was
I was traveling all around the world.
I was like, I want to show him shit
that maybe he had he even seen.
I'm touring. I've been to every
We hadn't met.
But we hadn't met.
Okay.
So when he got out of jail,
if you remember when he got out of jail,
he named eight people named.
And I was one of the dudes,
like we were right back and forth.
He was like, Banner,
you wanted a few people that took out their time
to really talk to me.
Because you remember,
I had done the record with him on penalty before,
but we,
you remember we did get crunk.
That was on penalty,
but that was just business.
Right.
Like, I didn't really get to know him,
know him.
Then we became friends.
Like, literally, like,
Like, this is one of the craziest things in my life.
When Pimp came to L.A. the weekend before he died,
I was in studio working because I was living in L.A. at the time.
And Pimp was moving out there to stay in the same.
He was over there doing some of Snoo.
Right.
It was supposed to be me, Snoo, Juicy Jay, was going to work on his album.
Say he was going to move in the same building as the cut.
You know, you know.
You know.
You know.
You know.
I said some family, everybody else.
You know.
They got sides.
Sorry, dear, man.
This is all right.
Continue.
So, Pam back call, man, you know, when that's your homie and you're in the studio, you know, I'm going to call them back and, you know, I kept working.
So I called him like six times.
He never picked up the phone.
Then I heard that at the end of the weekend, I had died.
So then I called and listened to the message, and the message was like, Ben, I'm an L-A-X.
Wait, so you never met him?
No, no, no, no, no. This is after we was friends.
Oh, I'm bugging. I'm bugging. This is after we was friends.
Homeboys, like, been to each other, like everything.
By this time, this was the weekend before he died.
Oh, okay. After we really became friends.
Okay.
He called and I went and listened to the, to the, my voicemail after he had died.
And it literally said, bro, come pick me up from LAX. I'm here.
And the craziest thing about me and Pimp is when we were together, it was, it was,
we were both focused.
It's like sharpening each other.
So I always feel like, you know, maybe, you know,
everybody would always think maybe if I would have picked up their phone call,
maybe it would have been something different.
Who knows?
And let's just, let's just ask,
this is probably the most serious question.
I have an axed on the drinks chance podcast.
Do you think that his death was attributed to lean?
You know what I'm saying?
I don't want to know because my friend did.
Right.
Either way it don't matter.
People get into, you know, if this,
I don't really want to know.
Like, he dead.
How he died, don't really matter to me.
Irrelevant now.
Yeah, it don't really matter.
You know, I said that too, but, like, you know, what's my man, Sean Price?
And I'll be feeling like...
And today's the 20th of his first album.
God bless Sean Price, you know what I mean?
But I'd be wanting to know because just in case we can help some other people avoid it.
You know what I mean?
It's lifestyle sometimes, yeah, but the thing about it is is that people...
We got mad serious.
I'm straight at the subject.
No, no, it's cool.
The reason why is people need to know that.
People need to know that because the folks that's out here doing what we're doing.
Because ASAP Yams and everybody is saying the same thing when they come to ASAP Yams.
They're saying that it's the Koldeen.
What's my man?
Michael from out in Houston.
And they're saying, way.
Screw, DJ, screw.
Screw.
Well, screw.
I don't think he died off.
But, you know, because I think if you as an activist, a rapist, I would like to call you, you know, if you were allowed.
to call you that. Like you speak up for us. Like when something happens in the community,
whether it's rap, hip hop, or just being black or just being poor, we expect people
like you to speak up. So when we think about it. But we need to make sure when we get in
fucking trouble that folks turn around and speak for us, shit. Like, like,
let's make some good. Like, yeah, like, go shut the mother face. What the fuck?
You know, the black man's coming out. It's not happening.
Anybody, shit. Right now they are marched on Twitter. They don't march in real life.
But this is what I'll say that.
His Instagram likes.
I'll be watching on Twitter, too.
And I'm being honest, bro.
At the end of the day, like, bro,
we don't really know what happened.
I'd heard several stories about what could have happened.
You know, and just like they say, you know, shit,
what Mike died for, what Prince died for him.
Both of those people had two of the most amazing record deals ever.
Fucking Mike owned over 50% of Sony.
Right.
You know, Prince owned all his shit.
So, like, and Pimson.
was one of the most outspoken motherfuckers
I ever said shit
Well bring me to the point
You remember when he said
He said Atlanta ain't even the South
You know
Such as such as the South
You remember that conversation
You made at the radio show?
Yeah I remember the conversation
Was that not the craziest
Well I think that whole conversation
Not even about that aspect of it
But a lot of the things that he was bringing
up about rap that people don't talk about
And that's what I was saying
Like we want to focus on like
The media
The same thing that happened to me
The media throw whatever the fuck they want to out about people of culture
And because they don't think we nothing but drug addicts and gang bans and don't dealers any fucking way
So people just take that shit when that don't be the case shit fucking
We don't know why Prince died the motherfucker was a vegan and looked better at fucking 58 or
Then he did at 28 and now all of a sudden this motherfucker die and and motherfucker Eric Clapton can snow it half of Peru
And the mother's your mom
That's true
That we get it, you guys!
Heroin and he lives in a big-something.
They banging everything.
Never catch it.
Never catch a haze.
You know what I'm asking?
Am I telling the truth?
No.
You don't stop hitting me on my back.
I don't know.
It's hard for me to believe that, you know, as much as we do.
It's not a conspiracy theory if you can prove it.
Like, they call it conspiracy theory.
That's the way to disregard it.
But, like, I don't believe that shit.
But I tell him all I tell the motherfucker this.
If something ever happened to me, I want a motherfucker to do something.
I don't want nobody talking shit.
I don't like the way they change.
Like even with Ali, they fucking change his hope.
They say Ali was colorless.
The fucking, his motherfucking last name is Muhammad.
How are you going to say he colorless?
Like, at the end of his life and all he ever fought for was the right of indigenous people.
You know what I'm saying?
You know what I'm saying?
I just looked at the OJ thing, right?
Yeah, yeah, let's get to the OJ.
This is hot.
That's where they categorize him as the same thing you just say.
He's colorful.
Right.
That means, you know, dittal.
Colorless, yeah, like, yeah, yeah.
You know what I'm like, that's how they do.
You ever met, O.J?
Yeah, I kicked it with him after that.
Thank you, Lord.
You were talking about that day.
You know, who was kicking out.
He was at his house and everything.
Listen.
At Snoombed, OJ.
No, I ain't a man.
Listen, hold on, this is when we got to big up the drink champs.
No, you found me out on that picture, first of all.
You've got to stop blaming me for this.
Yeah, man.
I was in that picture.
People blake you out of that picture.
This is what we're doing.
Right now, we got to thank our drink champ listeners
because I couldn't find my picture with OJ, correct?
No, that's correct.
We told the drink champs to go find the picture.
They found the picture.
And that same week, we also hit one million viewers.
We did.
You're about to say O.J. hit you up?
No, no.
on the show.
He came on the show. He's walking.
We did hang out and take a picture, and then they cropped me the fuck out that picture.
Look at him.
Listen, he is so hurt.
Look at him.
Do you hear him?
Like, I ain't going to.
That's a legendary picture.
I've been trying to find that picture.
He knows it's not me who cropped him out.
We took him in a polo.
It was back in the day.
It was back in the day.
Hey, Dad, what was the song I did on the y'all album?
My girlfriend?
Yeah.
The motherfucker.
Because the reason why I asked you about that fucking battle cat.
came and played the symbols on that motherfucker.
Oh, shit.
Man, we had fun over there again.
We had so much motherfucker fucking fun.
Bro, Snoop.

Yeah, that's my name.
So this is like a failing with you.
It is.
Yeah.
Mm.

You got to pull up.
I'll tell you something Snoop did.
That was cool as fuck.
All right, cool.
And y'all go laugh at me.
So, all right.
Hey, you need a new cup?
That's a new cup.
Just for champagne.
No, I think I'm going to.
Give me a new cup.
Yeah.
Just for champagne.
This is just for champagne.
I thought this was my bottle.
Yeah, yeah, no, no, we, this is all bottle, baby.

Mm-hmm.
So my motherfucking bit lily.

what happened to that pretty car? And I was like, you know, shit broke down. Yeah, yeah. So I was

months. Just take my car. So Snoop gave me his car. So I was like, at the time, I had stopped smoking
weed. And I was like, fuck this. It's ain't the way I'm going to be. No, no, no. Not right

Is to just
You know
Have our own people
Control our people
And we didn't even talk in race
when we're saying that.
Rap, hip-hop should control hip-hop.
And this is a good step in that direction.
You know, we don't play music on here.
We don't do none of that.
But you know what?
It's us controlling us.
It's fair.
And it happened organically.
Organically.
And these numbers is crazy.
So I want to make noise for everybody.

All right.
Let's do it.
And shout out to Best Buy Liquors, too.

So let me take a serious note.
Dad's.
How long?
How long are you still living, Cali?
I live everywhere, man.
You live everywhere.
I'm going to put my head there.
I ain't going to lie.
What's you the first nigga in Atlanta?
Because both of y'all live in Atlanta, too, though.
I was the second West Coaster in Atlanta.
Too short.
Too short.
Yeah, too short they didn't say that.
I was down there fucking with two shorts,
so I was looking at the big house.
Like, how much is it from a hundred, fucking money?
Why?
Why?
It's 2 a.m. we go on to the club?
Oh, yeah.
You know what I mean?
Hey, you know, I just bought me a house down there, been down there.
I live out here in Miami.
Because this is...
Oh, you live out here?
You got a house in Mississippi.
Fuck out of here.
I'm off the lakes.
Because this is a serious question I want to ask.
Oh, shit.
So, and then, now, you don't live in Mississippi, do you?
Yeah.
You still do?
Let me tell you, anywhere that we have an opportunity to do business,
I have houses in Mississippi and run my business out of Atlanta.
Right.
You know, I'm buying wherever the check is, honey.
Right.
Because we've been receiving a lot of, like, stories that's saying that,
like most hip-hop artists, they die or they mess up when they're in their own city.
Do you feel like that?
Bousie was saying that, right?
Bousie broke it down so great.
No, he did.
That's just crazy.
He was like hip-me.
He's got ties with a hater.
He said some shit.
I was like, damn, this nigga's smart.
Like, and what he's trying to say is,
people in your city might hate you more than just people
right down the block.
Do you think that's a true theory, like down,
in the next city, like, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
If there was anywhere that there was any way
that way, look.
No, you go ahead.
Oh, shit, you know, I stand ahead of here 21st,
Locke's Long Beach, Eastside, you know what I'm saying?
Right there on the block.
Everybody's seen me here.
They know where I met, you know what I'm saying?
I met, you know what I'm saying, but it's all love where I'm at, you know what I'm saying,
because we all, you know, we're city of grips, you know what I'm saying?
Ain't no other other gang and all the other things, you know what I'm saying?
Right.
I'm everywhere, you know what I'm saying?
I'm out here over town, you know what I'm saying?
My brother's still across the bridge, we over here, you know what I'm saying?
We're everywhere.
I got 20 acres in Mississippi, my mama I'm gonna live there.
Right, why?
And my daddy from New Orleans, but he live out here.
Wow.
You know what I'm saying?
We've been out of here.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
Just make some noise with that.
cracking on Miami.
We could have been in Kendall.
You could have been in Kendall with us.
No, man, I've been here since Pack Jam.
Oh, yeah.
Pack Jam is Real Miami.
Disco Rick, you know, everybody.
You know what I'm saying?
So hip hop is, you know, right there.
But you don't feel like sometimes
it's more hate in your city than it is.
Yeah, it's more hate if you make it like that.
That's deep.
You know what I'm saying?
That's deep.
You make it like that.
This is what I tell people.
But how do you feel about that, though, Banner?
I'll tell you.
Do you feel like it's more hate in your city?
I study.
I studied the plight of black people.
Roll up.
All right.
And what people don't understand is a lot of our problems stem from slavery.
Do you know that when one slave would escape the plantation, they would beat every slave
on a plantation nearly to death.
But the fear in.
Right.
So that's what the hate comes from.
When somebody see you getting off the plantation, like that nigg is.
nigga ain't no better to me. How dare
he fucking dream? When my fucking
dreams are being crushed.
You feel me? So it's like
what we don't understand, we've been
programmed to be the way that we are
and we're malfunctioning and don't even know
the fucking reason why.
So, like, for me, I
know the reason why people feel the way that
they feel. But the thing that I do is
I constantly, I literally, and
Pimpsey helped me do this. I wrote
down everything people said that
I wouldn't do. And I went back and
So if a motherfucker hate me, it's because they hate themselves.
And if they hate themselves, I can't help you.
You know what I'm saying?
You got to.
You got to.
A motherfucker came up to me one time at home, like, Dave Banner.
Right.
Like, I really don't like you.
And I hugged.
Wait, wait.
Wait, what?
He said, I really don't like you.
And I hugged him.
Because this is after I, you know, became a better meditative banner.
Right.
Not the better than you did.
Right, right, right.
And I told him, brother, you got to stand in a long line.
Right.
Because at the end of the day, man, people just don't...
A lot of times, too, when you come from smaller places,
people don't know how to say I need help.
Right.
So instead of saying, hey, y'all...
They act the food.
Yeah.
Hey, y'all, can I get a beat?
They're just like one of the homies like a bitch, you know what I'm saying?
Right.
But he's just dissing the bitch.
Yeah, bitch, bitch.
You know you want to fuck.
Yeah, she said.
Right.
That is a gang member.
That's a crazy analogy.
That thing is a gang member.
I don't want to fuck the bitch, man.
Yeah, he was like everything to a gang.
You got to respect.
And everything was a gang sign.
You're talking it up for the rest of them.
So, like, for me, bro, you have to know why people are hurting.
And that's one of the things I've been doing.
I've been doing these lecture series.
And, like, honestly, this is the crowning.
And I've done, bro, I've got awards from all over the world.
This has been my crowning moment, bro.
Like, I do lectures and, like, hoods all over the world.
I went to me and Dr. Umar did Brooklyn.
thousand people
Did Shreve, Port Louisiana,
1,200 people.
So what do you think?
Because one day I called you, you remember this?
I called you and I said,
yo, we really need a hip-hop union.
Yeah, I remember that.
We stayed on the phone for an hour and 45 minutes.
And do you think our heart was in the right place at that time?
I believe it was.
Let me tell you.
And I believe I wasn't wrong.
No, you were right.
But the thing that we have to do is we have to become successful.
Because the thing about these kids, I tell people this all the time.
Like, kids don't necessarily want to sell drugs.
But what they do is they see the success out of selling drugs.
I see the bitches.
I see the women.
I see the success.
I see what you can get out of it.
You're telling me to go to college.
Ah!
My uncle went to college.
He's right back on the block.
Right.
So kids want to see some success.
So if you want a union, if I want kids to do better, I got to show them some fly shit.
They don't want to hear fucking.
theory these kids are sick of motherfuckers
lying to them. Right.
Like that man that shit is dead. All
of this wishing and hoping
and people get mad
in me. All of this wishing and hoping and
playing. Like we got to get up off
our knees and do some shit.
And if you be successful and
kids see you looking good and
face looking fresh and shit
car, like kids just want
success. And I tell people that
if they see success then they'll want to be like you.
I don't give a fuck. Let me tell you
If women said, I ain't giving no more pussy than nobody but doctors, nobody but doctors,
just getting to be no sickness in this motherfucker.
Am I right?
She makes the motherfucking know what I'm like,
do the gaysie day, we killing the doctors now.
So let me ask y'all this question.
Now with that being said, Spike leave in the movie.
You're doing a fucking excellent job, dog, man.
I'm on point.
I'm sorry.
So listen,
Spike Lee,
he just tried to do that point.
The point that you said was Spike Lee tried to actually make a play.
But he used real culture.
The Chirac joined.
Shirek, right?
But I actually see the good in what he was trying to do,
even though it might have made a mockery,
but you understand what you just said.
It's, it, it, it, it, it.
It corresponds with what you just said so much
Because you said if women
But hold on, let me feel it.
You said if women was to say,
Nah, we ain't fucking unless you are a doctor, right?
That's what Spike tried to do.
That's what they did in the film.
Spike tried to say, like, yo, they ain't fucking until you put your guns down.
But the city of Chicago definitely...
Yeah, it's a...
Yeah.
Yeah, it's...
Go ahead, bro.
Go ahead.
I like how you speak.
No, it's a...
It's like, you got to do that in your city.
Like Scarface told me that, man.
But Chicago is the worst city right now.
But like when you...
Killing everywhere.
But no, when you come in to people's cities, bro,
and you don't connect.
Like Chicago taught me that.
I went to Chicago to...
I was going to do like some amazing shit,
and I sat down and talk to the real people that run the streets.
Those are my niggas.
And like, you got to come in, bro.
You got to do it right.
If you really want to help the community,
you got to connect with the people.
people in the community.
Like,
like,
bro,
that's like me going to L.A.
and trying to tell people
what to do.
Like,
bro, no,
you got to connect with the folks
and let them do
what they want to do
and you be a part of it
because if you don't,
you saw what happened.
So, like,
you don't want to take something
that you believe
is positive
and look what it ended up turning into.
Like,
you got to connect
the real people.
I didn't watch it
because people in Chicago
told me not to watch it.
And I said,
I got family out there.
I got,
you know,
Like, I got real, real family in Chicago, so when they told me they was offended, I just didn't participate.
But you can't take somebody's pain.
But I kind of thought what Spike was trying to do.
Like, he was trying to send a message, the same shit that you just said.
Like, I think the message was good.
I think the way he pulled it off.
Take the message and make the message dope and popping, just like I told you.
And make the people.
But don't put it under the guise of somebody else's pain.
Right, yeah.
Use your pain.
You're right.
It's a shit going on.
His pain was do the right thing.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
That was all.
Which was a general statement.
That was good.
That was all.

on a recent episode.
On a recent episode of the podcast Money and Wealth with John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money.
What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here?
We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts.
Too many of us were never, ever taught.
education is not always about like, I'm going to get rich. That's great. It's about
creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong
financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money,
this conversation is for you to hear more. Listen to Money and Wealth with John O'Brien from
the Black Effect Network on the I'd Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcast. If you're watching the latest season of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, you already know
there's a lot to break down.
Georgia accusing Kelly of sleeping with a merry man. They holding Kay Michelle back from fighting

looks like it's going to be interesting. On the podcast, Reality with the King, I, Carlos King,

drama, the alliances, and the team everybody's talking about.
As an executive producer in reality television, I'm not just watching it.

I'm Anna Navarro, and on my new podcast, Bleep with Anna Navarro.
I'm talking to the people closest to the biggest issues happening in your community and around the world.
Because I know deep down inside right now, we are all cursing and asking what the bleep is going on.
I'm talking to people like Julie K. Brown, who broke the explosive story on Jeffrey Epstein in 2018.
These victims have been let down time and time again for decades and decades by local law enforcement,
by federal law enforcement
by administration after administration.
The Justice Department through,
I think we counted four presidential administrations,
failed these victims.
Listen to Bleep with Anna Navarro
as part of the My Cultura podcast network,
available on the IHart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Well, what do you think about all this shit
with the gun laws going on right now?
With the shit that have...
Obviously, we know we've been having problems with guns
forever, but obviously when the shit, like in Orlando
happens, now it's front and center,
but what do y'all think about that? Like, what
comprehensive gun laws you think should go?
Tell them, dads, they'd be killing niggins in Long Beach
all day. That's a sick thing, man.
I mean, what do you really think, like,
what do you think they should be trying to do, pass,
not having, you know,
rifles with a certain amount of rounds? Like, what do you
think? That's real.
I mean, man, a kid can get a gun,
man. I got a little homies around, you know what I'm
know what I'm saying? But it's just about us.
Like, OGs and all that.
you know getting it into the you know what I'm saying and just getting into it you know
what I'm saying right yeah because that's that shit is kind of crazy like I still
going through the same cycle or trying to be the bigger man and you know like
so motherfuckers like that get killed though yeah same job yeah you know it's
vice versa so you always got to know how to play everything you know what I
foresee it all guns guns don't guns don't kill people but but do you okay okay
guys don't kill people you mean stupid motherfuckers kill people right
I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm gonna tell y'all something
and put the camera straight on me.
If you want to put David Banner in jail,
make some gun laws and come to my house.
I got an AR-15.
I got two AR-15.
Right, go ahead.
Because what I believe is,
there's just as many,
there's just as many
bad cops as there are bad people.
Oh, day.
All day.
Bad cops are killing black folks with guns,
every people of culture, period.
Every fucking day.
All around the world,
but they're not taking their job.
guns away.
Right.
These motherfuckers
go overseas
and we are the
most technologically advanced
country in the
fucking world on one of
them and we can't
find 30 fucking people
but we bomb fucking nations.
You know what I'm saying?
It's like...
Yeah, we gang bang on an international level.
The problem that I'm trying
to get people to see
and this just made me
is because of our phones,
we got a chip on us
all fucking day.
Right?
Because of our credit cards,
they're putting a chip on
all your car.
The Mark of the Beast happened.
All right, all right.
So then.
You ever watch that movie?
Yeah.
Which one?
Mark of the Bees.
My mother used to make it, you know, used to go to church.
And they made us watch this movie called Mark of the Beast.
This is a movie called the Mark of the Beast.
I never seen it.
It's like when everybody go to heaven then there and there's soldiers and people telling them what to do and they market them and they're putting it in their forehead.
And they put me in that shit.
So watch this movie.
And this is my theory.
All right.
scary on the J-JITZs right now.
The four horsemen.
So all of our
quintessential rights
are now being taken away, and
people are not even noticing. So what
they did was killing black
people don't shock America.
So that's cool.
So they kill some, you know,
they kill some teenagers, some white teenagers.
That didn't take away your gun laws.
So it's like
every time America wants to pay, somebody
always told me this, if you want to find
the arsonists, never look at the fire.
It's always something
else that's going on in America.
Like they've been trying to pass gun laws
because the thing that I learned and one of my
mentors said, there's no difference
between the police and our
gangs. The only difference between our
gangs and the policemen is that
when they call for backup,
their motherfuck's coming.
Yeah, that's just like when I told the homie. I say,
everybody in here. When that
second car pull up, what happens?
and that second police car pull up
what happened
you poop
yeah
yeah
shit
yeah no
and that's the only
and that's what they're afraid of
like to be honest with you bro
they'll take one thing
out of a thousand things
and make it a big deal because
we try to find a leader
whenever there's anarchy
we need somebody to lead us
when there's a big
and in no way
And no way am I saying that what happened wasn't a tragedy, but that was one person.
So why take away the rights that we have?
Because I want you always remember something.
Just think about this.
Police and criminals don't give a fuck about laws.
If a criminal want a gun, Dad just said it.
He's going to find a fucking gun.
Dick Cheney shot somebody here.
Yeah.
He shot his homie in the head.
Yeah.
So what I'm saying is...
Are we going to make some lawyers to Dick Cheney?
Yeah, make some little of the head.
Bucking his homie.
Literally, he bucked his homie.
He fucked his homie.
Bro, did we come up there and make Drake chefs a political show?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, you know what?
Listen, listen, listen, we got the dumbest fans in the universe.
Let me, we got a different.
This makes me noise for them, by there.
Right, they're going back to school right now.
Listen, we got to get school.
We gotta get school.
David Banner is schooling us.
And he's filming you now.
Dads.
Yes.
Is in the motherfucking building.
No.
Yeah, y'all got so many hits, man.
Dad is set to her right now in Miami.
You got so many hits.
What other crazy shit you produced, my nigga?
Let's just hit us with whatever.
Man, you know, me and Sean Price did a song when he was with Heltter Skelter.
Oh, shit.
You know what I'm saying?
On that first album, it was me and Kubra.
You know what I'm saying?
And so, um, that's a...
And you said you produced for dads, you said,
yeah, yeah.
On, on, on, on, on, on, on, on what's our cousin right here.
Yeah.
Like, we're families.
Mm.
They take care of me.
We tear it up for days.
We do.
You know what I'm saying?
The thing is, real friends, we ain't got to talk about that shit.
Like, they took care of me when, when I needed, like, seriously.
Yeah, how did you get into the movie?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was the name of it?
Yeah.
Now, how did you get into the movie thing?
That's what the money.
All right, so
one of the things I want to tell the kids
is like people look up at the screen
like they'll see Pop and be like
Pop just went from rap.
Like, Pop was an actor first.
You know what I'm saying?
I've been in acting school for 10 years.
I study.
I train everything I do.
Whether it's fighting, whether it's whatever the fuck.
Like, kids have this misconception
that you just fall out the motherfucking bed.
If you're talented, that's only a head start.
Most of the time, motherfuckers, just Steph Curry is a perfect example of that.
That's a motherfucker that bust his fucking ass.
You know what I'm saying?
To become great.
And the thing that I realize is like, and I think about the West Coast more than anything.
Like, the thing I think, in my personal assumption that really took the West Coast to the next level,
is like during the time that Dre and then was making their move, they had colors.
to have boys in the hood
because a lot of times
you can hear a record
but if you don't know what that shit
look like motherfuckers
is like motherfuckers can't be going through that shit
that they say they
oh shit they are
oh that's a six-fold
oh that's what that shit is
right that's what the switch is
right that's what that shit do
that's what that shit is
is that what happened with Master P
when he did the movie
that kind of helped his movement
what I say is like
I still don't think the South has had
just that
proper movement because
like we need people
who are actually producers and
directors that come from where we
come from instead of people from other places
coming and giving what they think is from the South
because a lot of times when I see motherfuckers do shit about the South
I'd be mad about that shit.
Like I be like dog that's
what you think it is
you know? So you're going to do a Mississippi movie?
I'm going to do it again. I'm going to do some Mississippi movies
I'm going to do some a lot of fucking movies.
I'm going to tell y'all stuff. Hey, think about this
This is the reason why I started doing movies.
Let me be the New York nigger that just come in and shoot somebody.
That's all I want to be in the Mississippi movie.
Come on, make some noise to me want to shoot somebody.
Hey, can I say my thing off?
Yeah, well, how are you?
I never said this on camera, I never said this on camera, bro.
I don't shoot nobody no more.
But there's some shit I want to address.
Go ahead, address it got to me.
And belly, when they had to do eating a banana from the south, I had a problem.
He wasn't from the South?
He was from Ohio.
He was in Carolina.
He was Carolina.
Was he?
Yeah.
Google it has
It's sure it has
That's supposed to be in Carolina
Yeah
It was to get into some
Coastal shit
I don't like that shit
It's just I'm like that shit
Either way,
Either way
The small town
Eating the banana shit on the corner
It was
It was
Yeah, we would have
We would have a problem
I think it was in Ohio
Yeah, it was in Carolina
Yeah
It was in Carolina
Listen to this y'all
Check this
This is the reason
Why I started doing
One of the reason
Why I started doing
movies there's this little black girl hold on a second I like the fact that he's the
only guest we ever had that looked at towards the crowd oh no I'm looking at they
face this nigga this he do on this show that's how motherfuckers no dude too
damn this is the other man who's talking at me like this you know why this when
you know a real MC dad seen you he said what you can do that too he turned a look
This is
This is niggins who know
How to control the crowd
This is a difference between
Talking
And being a microphone
Controller
Right now
This is real legendary shit
Happening
I'm sorry if the listener
Didn't know what's going on
Continue my brother
So this is what happened
It was a little black girl
She came in crying
Uncontrollably
She asked her father
She asked her father
She said father
She said dad
Dad, Dad, Dad.
Are there going to be any black folks in the future?
And he looked down and said, baby, why you asked that?
She said, because I was watching the Jetsons and I didn't see none.
Like literally, think about this as it pertains to black people.
The name was Leroy Jetson and they won black.
Look at the Jetson.
Watch this.
I just remember that.
What a name is Lee's right?
Don't forget the dog.
The dog?
What was it?
The dog was a nigga?
So watch this.
For black people.
Most black people, because of conventional religion, think Jesus is white.
So think about all the God complexes in the world.
Jesus is white.
Superman is white.
Flash is white.
Wonder Woman is white.
Tarzan.
Tarzan is white.
All the black folks in the fucking jungle.
So think about, listen, when a kid, I'm a stepchild.
And the fact that I don't look like my dad, that fucks with me.
My stepdad changed my whole entire fucking life.
He's been with me since I was three.
So when I always tell people, if you told your kids that they was gods, maybe they would act like gods.
And maybe if they act like God, somebody would treat them like gods.
It's easy to kill a nigger.
And I always tell people, if I see a God in you, I might beat the devil.
level out your motherfucking ass, but I won't kill you.
So when most black people see white people
in the back of their subconscious, they see Jesus.
I don't even know.
I don't know whether to make sense of the way.
I'm a funnel.
I'm a football.
I was more bottle.
The other is dropping juice.
I'm serious.
Nah.
Think about how quick a motherfucker
will kill another black person.
They see some white folks, they be like,
damn, that's 50 years.
That's Jesus.
That's very deep.
Drink shams in this motherfucker out!
Yeah!
He got real deep and he's the fucking in that guy.
I was like, no, because you know I'm conscious, so I know exactly what you do.
He's not right now.
No, he's a life right now.
That's some real shit, man.
That's some real shit.
So, Dad's, man.
I don't even live.
Get away from David.
I'm trying to keep it together.
I'm trying to keep it together.
I'm trying to keep it together.
together, man. So, um,
Das, what, what do you see
hip hop going now from here?
From here?
Man, hip hop is,
on a good path right now going to the
top, man, you know what I'm saying? It's all in commercials,
you know, old people rapping and shit and everything
everything, you know, hey, it's going there, the money
is there. And Snoop out there killing them
still. All the time. Like, like
in the night, like Snoop don't age.
All the time. Well, and that's your real
cousin, correct? That's the hip-hop prince.
She's very in superfly, man.
Yeah, he, yeah. Superfly.
Superfly was the one that hooked me up with Snoop.
He heard my beats before anybody else.
He did the most admirable shit ever.
He said at the end of the day, Snoop make the money.
We gotta take the beats to him.
Now he heard my beats was like, yo shit jamming.
He's like, man, fuck me personally.
Like, it's cool.
You can have some beasts on my shit that's coming out.
You need to go see.
And Snoop did the craziest shit, y'all.
That's when we had the ASR and the dish used to get corrupted.
What did you in that day?
Yeah.
Y'all, Snoop stood up first.
front of me, my diss was corrupt, so the beat he wanted wouldn't pull up. He said, you got
ten minutes. Pull that motherfucker up. And y'all, I was homeless sleeping in my van. And I literally
saw my career passing across. He said, 10. No, shit. Hey, daw. I was about to piss on myself,
I was like, what the fuck? I'm broke as fuck. And this motherfucker won't load. He's three,
two, one, get the fuck out of here. And I was like, shit. He was like, I'm just joking,
He was like, go home
Get that shit to Kelly and come back
And like, all of us been cool
Ever since then
I snuck this steak on to you, man
To play them peace for y'all
And like
Their whole family took me in.
Like when I was in L.A., I didn't know nobody, bro.
Like, they really, I appreciate y'all.
Now what made you, well,
well, you lived in Atlanta first
And then lived in L.A.?
No, what happened was, man, I've been there.
Mississippi right by Atlanta.
I went from Mississippi to Louisiana
to Atlanta to New York.
I was homeless sleeping next to dogs and shit.
Piss on the floor and shit.
And I moved at, I was dating at the time.
I was dating a girl in Trent, New Jersey.
And I thought I could ride.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Can't just, Trent, I love, gold fingers, what's up?
Yeah, no one out there.
What's up?
The trend is very wild.
It's serious.
It's true.
It's true.
It's true.
Very wild.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Trit is my, yeah.
So you, oh, hold on.
So you was going to pick her up in Trent?
No, I was, um, actually.
Nobody picks up.
No, no.
No, no, I actually moved in with Hunter and Mama.
He can't, he can't,
I moved in, Howard, Jersey right now.
I moved in, Hunter, Mama,
so I'm going to New York and get this deal.
The dick was good.
But now, inside the label, wasn't you down with,
uh, loud SRC?
Yeah, you got one of the biggest deals at that time.
Well, yeah, that was afterwards?
Yeah, but inside the labeled, was you, was you not included in
I went in loud.
We was SRC.
So that was a whole different.
Because that was after Steve had threw the chair out the window.
But he invested in you to restart the whole joint.
Yeah.
Like, like, we did that.
Like, to be honest with you, it was reciprocal.
And I'll say this.
Hold on.
Because that's what I met in Banner at that time.
I'll say this.
I'll say this.
I told you our fans are the dumbest in the world.
What does reciprocal mean?
It's going both ways to the home of.
I'll say this about, I'll say this about.
Steve. I think Steve, like, because I was running, I was running in LA and I saw Steve,
and I think Steve don't think I like him. Like, we cool. Like, I don't have no problem with
dude. He don't think Dead Presidents like him neither. Like, I'm cool.
Like, bro, I think he changed my life and I changed his life because I believe I'm the reason
why he was able to really stand up in the Universal Building. And that, like, a pimp record.
But, but why is that, why is that, like, an issue? Like, you and Dead Pres both said the same
thing about him. Let me tell you, people think because you're pro-black that you hate white folks.
Break it down. And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and,
definitely, because motherfuckersers know what they've done wrong. Right. Like, dude, I'm gonna be
honest with you. I don't know any other label that would have, have, that would have, have, that's, yeah, that would have,
have took a rapper
like pun,
motherfucking three
six mafia.
Let me say that again.
Three six
mafia.
Wu Tang a whole bunch
of crazy
motherfuckers.
Like,
I tell,
I don't think I could have
went anywhere else
and been as
Mar-examination.
Yeah.
I don't,
I don't, exhibit,
Ray Korn,
and we can go on
and all.
But,
but like the thing is,
bro,
is like,
Steve, I was one of the few people
I noticed this, bro, I was one of the few people
No folks were scared of me
Like, people see this shit right here, bro
But there's a whole other
I started to change my name away from David Banner
Because I saw so many similarities
In me and their incredible hope
Because like I got a clinical anger problem, dog
Like I go to therapy
I sit down on the couch
With an old white lady
And talk about how fucking angry I am
Just so you know
This is my therapy.
I do the champs every week.
I know the number of the white.
Makes some noise of me being my therapy while he's talking about therapy.
And that's why the shit happened like in Washington.
Dude, like, at the end of the day, we still, our default is what the fuck we're from.
If a motherfucker, if a motherfucker get wrong with you, left right.
You feel me?
Go right back to the hood.
Section 1, Section 2,000, 3, since you're 4.
Same thing.
For me, it's Cuban Avenue.
There you go.
So for me, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I think I did as much for Steve as Steve did for me.
But I couldn't have been the man that I am today because I'm doing some amazing shit.
What people don't know, bro, I own a multimedia company.
I score all, all the music for Gatorade for the World Cup.
Yeah.
Uh, Mercedes Bens.
Uh, shit.
name it. Three years ago,
all the music for Pepsi during the NFL season.
This is the nigga from coming to America. Let's make some noise.
And what you need to know, Nori,
is I am the guy that says
the rural penis is clean.
Yeah, yeah. Tell them.
Tell them, God damn.
I went to L.A. one time, and I just sat in.
I sat in on his session. It was crazy.
He was doing mad deals.
Remember when I went to L.A.? and I just sat in?
You were doing interviews. He was doing scoring
shit. I was like, yo, Banner's doing crazy
shit right now.
But that's where I keep telling people.
Like, if you want to get these kids, you got to show them success.
So the truth is, people hear about the God box, like, which you can pre-order right now.
I was about to go into this because, you know, I follow you on social media.
And I think your fans are a little pissed off at you.
I'm going to just keep it real.
Why?
They've been waiting for you to drop this for quite some time.
Like, I'll be seeing them just go at you.
Like, I love when I follow a nigga on social media, they're there.
They liked the pre-mix tape.
They liked that.
But this was so misanicipated.
Did I see you on an interview where you said that the reason why you couldn't get it
is because you needed people's signatures?
Yeah.
How difficult is that when you...
I'm going to say this.
I was real disappointed because I really only did records with people.
And me and you talked about this.
Like, after I had made the metamorphosis that I made, I'm going...
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
You're really trying to ruin it.
I'm sorry, I'm trying to do president for shit.
They're trying to get the incredible home.
You gave me where I want to go.
You gave me where I want to go.
You want to answer that?
Because I got somewhere I want to go.
Go where you want to go.
Listen, we had Talib Kuali on this show, right?
And he thought I was bullshit.
But I really want Talib Kuali to run for New York City mayor.
Because I think at some point as us,
hip hop
and you know
somebody get killed
and we retweet that
and we say so
hold on
we say so
but why we can't
have Talebquale
run for New York City mayor
right
get David Bama
to run for Mississippi
mayor
or
fuck it
you don't got to run
for Mississippi mayor
let's do some
Arnold Schwarzenegger shit
move to Hollywood
we're about to do that
shit don't say it out
let nah man
and you know what
they don't even drop
You know what?
We got $3 million something right now.
And you know what?
Also, this is a thing, man.
No, right, let me say one thing.
Let me stop you.
Excuse me.
Are you running for me?
We need you to run.
Let me tell you this.
Because, listen, listen, let me say what I want to get off my chest.
Because I feel like this, there's, there's, whatever races there is, we should add another race.
And that race should be hip-hop.
And what I mean by that.
That's deep.
What I mean by that is.
why hip hop society
can't look out
this is one of the deepest
conversation I ever had
I knew one in 15 years
as me sitting them
and say yo
I just feel like
hip hop need a union
like I want people that
he brought the shit
all the way down
too had one hit
they distributed
and they fucked up
I want to like
pay for something
like if he
he break his knee
like Kairz one
he tried to do the
yeah
I remember I told
but I had already
spoke
to the brother.
He did.
And this is real shit.
It's like,
I think we can control more
because I told it to Russell
and I said this on the podcast.
I said this on another podcast.
I don't remember.
But I told Russell,
I said, I need you to run
for president.
And Russell said,
yo, I smoked dope.
And I was like,
I said everybody smoked.
Me too.
No, he smoked.
But he said dope.
I think he was like.
I think it with Russell.
He told him, you know,
he kicked the whiz,
He said, no, he don't smoke, but he said, man, in my young day, you can look at it in the crush group.
Oh, shit.
No, he definitely did dope.
So he told me he smoked heroin, right?
Angel does.
Angel does.
But I told him, fuck that, right?
Now listen, now listen, I'm going to try to break something down as smart as I can.
Right now, whether you agree with Trump or you disagree with Trump, he is making politics like a freestyle battle.
Oh, it's a total freestyle.
It's kind of like a freestyle.
It's kind of like a free...
It's kind of like smack DVD.
Yo, he took it all the way down there.
It's like, yo, you can say something facts.
And if I got the better rhyme...
Yeah, the punchline.
If I'm more...
Add it into the crowd with the punchline,
the crowd fucks with me.
So why we can't elect Kanye and J-Z
whenever the presidential years is?
And then...
To make sure we get them, we get the people running for mayors.
Bun B. B. Buhn Bede, the president of...
Bumby could definitely do some shit.
What is it? What is it?
Come on, man, help me out.
I got him in every city.
Oh, you're Bum Bucan.
No, I know, I know.
You're going to do it?
Poor Arthur.
You know, he running poor after.
You know, Taleb Kuali running at least Brooklyn office,
if you don't run for the actual mayor.
You know what I'm saying?
Like Snoop running for the motherfucking governor of Cala.
Fuck that.
California.
Like we,
you know,
listen,
because we all laugh at it.
Because this is my dream, right?
Listen,
we all laughing.
But the same way we get a nigga to go out and buy a Drake album for whatever, whatever.
Listen, Drake,
you're running for Toronto mayor now.
You know what I'm saying?
Like,
Hey, your dream ain't too far.
We got truck running for president.
Listen, this is what I'm saying.
No, but what I'm saying is.
Am I bugging bad?
No, because that's something that's something that's in the works.
But the thing is, is that I personally feel like we got to stop saying it.
Because when the tea party, they're going to stop it.
No, not that they're not that they're going to start it.
When the tea party do shit, you don't know what it to is too late.
See, I got to look at it like this, man.
You know, paying taxes.
You're going to move from Bay and Long Beach.
Paying all that taxes and all that other shit, man.
This shit is gangster.
Right.
You know, it's gangster on the street.
Them motherfuckers up there.
Yes, they are.
Oh, they're tag me.
They're killing.
They're killing.
You know what I mean?
Dush you off in a minute while they're brushing their teeth and shit.
You know what?
But can we keep complaining?
Listen, can we keep complaining about the laws that don't protect us?
If we actually have a chance to make the laws that protect us?
Let me tell you.
Let me tell you.
Let me tell you.
Let me tell you.
This is what I tell people.
Power won't invest in poor people.
and to poor people invest in power.
We got to make power moves.
But we got to do it quietly, though, bro.
We got to talk to each other in rooms.
Hold on.
We have talked to each other in rooms,
like how me and you talk.
And then once we get our shit together,
then we talk about it
because if we talk about it before,
then they're figuring out ways
to make sure that it's going to happen.
It's like this.
Never say a name on the internet
before you go get the domain name.
There you go.
That's what I'm talking about.
Because like now,
This motherfucker is going to try to get the name.
I don't want to sell it to you.
And that they're going to pass the halls to make sure that you take.
But you know something that I think we've been fucking up as a culture.
You know I do the documentary series where I go outside the country
and I'm checking out these other countries.
And as I've been going to these countries, they're saying they don't really follow us no more.
And I think us as a culture, we're not paying attention to the influence that we've had internationally,
which could have made even the culture more powerful here.
You know, and then we let it go.
We let it go.
Now, when I went to Vietnam, I just went to Vietnam,
I'm like, who influences you?
Korea, Japan, used to be U.S.
Remember, when we go down there, it's a motherfucking party.
No, it's definitely a party.
No doubt when we go.
Influential, when we go down there,
I can be walking down the street.
But we're not investing in the culture.
They know about the coach.
But this is what I'm saying.
I apologize because you off E.
But this is what I'm saying.
Like the voter die campaign.
Everybody had a T-shirt.
Everybody had a T-shirt.
We did the promo.
Crazyhood.
Puff ran out.
But let's imagine if Puff was the actual running guy.
The guy to a run.
If we had an end result that had to do with us.
If we had it, exactly.
Puffy stays shot.
He got the suits and that.
Like, why we can't force Puff, Hove, and Kanye, like, really...
We shouldn't force people who don't want to do it.
They'll do it.
They'll do it because this is hip-hop.
Being the president, Donald Trump made being the president hip-hop.
Because he went at it like a smack DVD.
Let's make some noise with Donald Trump.
I don't know if we should.
I'm sorry.
You're not making noise with Donald Trump.
That, not, but his approach.
No, no.
Watch this.
His approach.
And how far he got.
Watch this, though.
How far he got?
I'm sorry.
I didn't need those.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Watch this.
But the thing that I said,
but the thing that I tell people is because we don't pay attention,
I don't have a problem with Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is a business man.
He showed motherfuckers what he was about.
He's about business.
He said it back in the day.
He said, like, if I ever run for president, this one, he was a Democrat.
He said, I would run as a Republican.
He's the, what do you call?
He's the reality
He's the reality TV show
president
And that's what runs our country
But watch this
He was like the actor
He was the first actor
But watch this
In that time
Hillary Clinton
Sent over 600,000
Black men to jail
Because of the
The law that her husband passed
Everybody's talking about
Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton
But we forget about the law
That her husband passed
that made the non-violent drug act what it was.
The three strikes, all that kind of stuff.
That was the Clinton family.
So I have a point.
Donald Trump is theory.
He's theory.
But the Clinton family is fucking real.
We're stuck between a rock and a hard place.
And plus the Clinton Foundation, what happened in Haiti?
When I went to Haiti, ain't nothing.
They didn't do shit over here.
So what happened with millions or billions?
What are the fuck they did?
So David Baird or the rap?
Do you mind I call you the Raptivist?
That is hard, right?
Don't call me bro.
Yeah, yeah, listen.
Don't call you bro.
Yeah, don't call you bro.
Bro.
Bro.
Yeah, bro.
Yeah, bro.
Bro's kind of in Miami things sometimes.
Who are we going to?
Bro.
Oh, bro.
Yeah, like no money.
That's what I don't want to be.
Are we voting for Bernie Sanders?
Bernie Sanders is out of it.
He's out.
He's out?
Yeah, he's done.
Yeah, he's done.
Where's fuck I've been there?
Yeah, I don't know.
You were in the last drink chance.
Right now.
That was spurned.
That was spurned.
Yo, Bernie Sanders, not here?
Yeah, Bernie had enough money right now.
I think it's like a-
Somebody got to text in the aisle.
Hey, y'all, let's give a shot to Bernie Sanders real quick.
He tried.
So Hillary, she ain't legalizing weed or none of that.
Nah, she might.
We're fucked up.
They're going to have to.
Am I supposed to make people vote?
Like I said before,
Obama got to, you know,
fin of people vote.
Fitting a skate out of office, you know what I'm saying?
He legalized weed in Washington, D.C.
Mm.
It was all great.
No, I did.
Obama pushed hope.
Reagan pushed dope.
Clinton pushed something down a young gal's throat.
It's just we're talking about throats.
White folks, which you know about ropes.
White folks, which you know about trees
and men swinging from them that look like me.
How you say that don't affect us.
Tuskegee, how you let them infect us.
It's fear of the black semen.
Putting sage on a page to eradicate these demons.
This for Tosa, Oklahoma.
This for Rosewood.
You know what I'm saying?
And I want to ask you this last question because we kept hearing you saying you was homeless and you could have gave up.
Let's reflect on the moments when you thought about giving up and what made you not give up.
Let me tell you something.
I'm from the poor state in the union.
Mississippi?
Mississippi.
Yeah.
Y'all look rich for me from the outside.
Giving up.
Let me tell you something, bro.
Let me tell you this to everybody who think about it.
everybody who think about giving up.
If you give up, you go back to what the fuck you're from.
Giving up is not what you should worry about.
It's being successful.
When you're successful, that's when shit change.
You used to being broken, fucked up.
Like, that ain't what you worry about is being fucked up.
It's being successful.
Then you got to do something new.
Do you got to worry about how to keep in calm
and can't cuss out the white folks like he used to?
David Bannon.
Like, that's when you got to learn a new
skill, that's when you've got to learn accounting.
That's when you got to learn a business.
That's when you've got to learn how to be
diplomatic, and we ain't diplomatic
motherfuckers. We're emotional motherfuckers.
And we're drunk.
For me, it ain't, it ain't,
bro, I ain't going back.
I ain't going, I ain't, no, not, I mean,
going back to being broke.
A state of mind.
Mississippi is, let me tell you something.
Let me tell you, I'm going to clear all this shit up.
It's about my people.
If all the black
people and people of culture,
moved out of Mississippi.
Right.
Hey,
because ain't none of us
from this bitch anyway.
Anywhere we claim.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, like, dog,
we don't own this shit.
Right.
Like, we people of culture.
Like, man,
it's,
it's a global thing for all of us.
Like,
I've read Mississippi
because,
I've read Mississippi
as hard as I do.
I tattooed it on my back
because motherfuckers act like
they parents are from Mississippi.
How you do it?
You want to see?
I like the way you be like.
I like the way you break it down.
I'm going to be like.
Damn.
Yeah, I'll write about that no more.
Come on.
Let me just say this.
You know, I ain't going to front.
You really put Mississippi on the back.
Like, you know, I was from left rack, right?
So that's why you keep saying left frack and that's my hood.
I love it.
But that's just a small, that's just a part of New York City.
Nobody had never heard a rapper.
Oh, let me tell you.
Mississippi.
You were the first.
Let me read this to you.
Go ahead.
Let me read this to you right quick.
It's funny.
I was reading Psalms.
morning. I wake up every morning and I
study something from me. Give us the Reverend one
pray. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Every
religion. Every religion. I study
Buddhism, I studs. Are you every religion?
No, I'm not every religion, but I study
every religion. Indeed.
So listen, it said,
be not wise and die
own eyes. Fear the Lord
and depart from evil. Proverbs
3-7. Like,
I don't take credit for shit I'm supposed to
do. You're supposed to stand
up for your people. You're supposed to do for your
community. I don't take, when people
pat me on my back for the shit that I do for my community.
It's what the fuck you're supposed to do as a man.
Don't fucking...
My dad told me that.
My dad said, you don't stand up for the shit you're supposed to do.
You're a fucking man.
It's that it ain't a lot of men and hip-hop no fucking mode.
You know, hard tell you what to do.
Right.
So it's like motherfuckers try to play like, I'm a Malcolm or something.
I ain't know what close to our fathers.
We ain't...
I'm going to say this.
That's just like basketball players who win one fucking championship
and they start comparing them to greats.
Hey, motherfucker, that's degrading the culture.
The shit I'm doing ain't special.
I'm doing what the fuck I'm supposed to do,
but because most motherfuckers don't do shit at all
and make me look like a kid.
I ain't doing nothing, bro.
I got more work to do, but, man, I love my people.
You got more work to do, but we're very proud of you.
Oh, man, thank you.
We're very proud of you.
Listen, for all this day just passed,
so we've got to ask, like, we ask every other guest.
You ready?
When was your first off?
What year was your first album first?
Not 92.
92?
What year was your first album?
98.
How many abortions y'all pay for?
Let's keep it real now.
Just keep it real.
How many abortions?
Let's keep it real.
None?
How many kids you got, did that?
Me?
Yeah.
Four?
Is that two or four?
Oh, no.
That's peace.
Oh, okay.
You didn't even say,
How many abortions you pay?
Listen, let me tell you this, bro.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, this is smart.
You gotta be in the drink challenge.
We've been this David Madder's world.
One time, just listen to me.
Listen, listen, this is a really sad story.
This is really sad.
And I don't want to bring down the vibe.
No, no.
But y'all never heard what happened to my kids.
This is gonna be a joke.
No, I'm serious.
No.
You didn't?
They got swallowed.
It got to be hard being a conscious nigga
around a whole lot of ass.
It's balanced, man.
Balance.
When we started, we didn't love them hoes.
So we was, it was all.
You all the bitch.
It was all the bitch.
Leave them bitches alone.
You got some money.
What can you do for me?
Y'all these niggins and all these.
And they're somebody here going to fuck.
Like, it was crazy.
Like, we was in Vegas.
Oh, yeah.
Like, we was in Vegas.
Come on.
Let me get that bottle that's open.
Because you got to have a balance, David, Badd.
It's not fun.
Levels spell backwards is level, because you've got to balance.
Let me tell you why it's not hard for me.
You also made strip club music, too.
Let's make some noise for you.
I made the dirtiest song ever.
Talk about it.
I may play.
I tell people this all the time, bro.
Just because I'm conscious, don't mean I don't want to fuck.
I tell people that all the time.
Like, damn, just because I read the fucking book,
don't mean my dick don't get hard.
But it doesn't control me like it used to.
Like the thing is, I watch, man.
I even watch the shit that happened to pop.
They admit it when that rape shit happened with pop.
He wasn't even in the fucking room.
So it's like, when are we going to get fucking smart
and realize, like, dude, rap is my fucking business at this point.
And I feed, literally, though, I feed a whole tribe of people of all
colors because I'm David
Banner. So I have to watch
the shit I do, not just for me
because the old David Banner creeps
up a lot. But I
think about the children, like the people that
I fuck with. Like the Hulk
creeps up. Yeah. So
like for me, bro, like,
let me tell you all, anybody that's a rapper,
let me tell you what you do. You fuck.
Everybody want to fuck.
I know. Lawyers
want to fuck. Congressmen
want to fuck. You
You find a bra that has as much to lose as you have to lose.
Right.
And you cool.
You fuck with a broad.
That's a mayor.
That's shit.
Don't tell it?
Because what happens if David Banner get fucked up one day?
He fucks a bitch.
And then she got you on Snapchat.
She ain't go get me on Snapchat.
I got too much money.
I got too much jury on a bitch.
I ain't even worried about it.
Like I said before, a nigger they ain't got no money.
Ain't got no time.
Right.
And I'm going home.
It is.
How do you handle your group with you, David, Banner?
I don't do a group.
You're very hard.
It's pause.
Come on, David Banda.
You had a one-night stand before.
Go ahead.
Let's break it down.
But what I did, let me tell you what I did.
Back in the day, I had a tribe.
All over the United States.
Tribe of O is what you're saying, right?
I just had a tribe.
You call them what you wanted to call them, but I had a tribe.
And they all knew what it was.
So, like, I had a tribe from
It was all six hours from any place in the United States.
A stable.
See, you pivot.
I just, I'm calling the tribe.
Of course, he would call it a tribe.
But did you have Afro-centric bitches?
No, I had...
Like the bitches that are doing with the...
He said he had Eskimos all the way down to.
Like, America.
Did you have a...
I had women all over the world.
It's not about that.
It's just about people
who understand what you about.
Motherfuckers respect.
That's part of the problem.
Most of my motherfuckers don't have respect.
Is there a pimp culture in Mississippi?
Oh, shit.
That's where the shit is.
Of course, of course.
That's where it comes from.
Let me tell you, that's one of the reasons
why I fuck with Harlem
like I fuck with Harlem
because the reason why they had zootsoos and shit
was from the fucking South.
Like, that's where the South went to.
That's why I lived in Harlem for six years.
Like, the pimp culture comes.
A lot of people don't know this.
The pimp culture comes from slavery.
People don't fucking read.
Like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,
read all the pimp books.
The shit, what they did was,
they treated the woman like the slave master.
They've been treated.
Treated black people.
That's all pimping is.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, like, like, read, read any fucking pimp book.
Anybody that's a real pimp, they'll tell you that shit.
That's what it fucking comes from.
This shit ain't hard
And that's why it's easy for me to transition
We never learn this much
In one way
It's not everybody just sitting around
It's good to puffin is bad
David Bairdard and touch the dick's hearts
No y' y'all
The Bucke's real thing
He said that shit
That's what it comes from
Niggas ready to call
They strippers right now
Like look bitch
I let you go
I let you go
I ain't really mean
That's not what I meant
David Banner like
Yeah did you hear us
You know, Tali Kuali came on here and he said that he's seen Prince invent reverse.
Reverse pimping.
Reverse pimping.
Did you ever see that type of thing?
Reverse pimper.
You know what that is?
He see a bitch pimping and he said, I'm gonna pay you to leave.
That's the type of nigger Prince says.
Let's make some noise for that nigga.
He danced.
He danced.
Wow.
Prince.
Who was the last?
Who's a horn, my brother?
Wow.
You ever have it?
That went a little bit too.
Dad, that shit went fast for me right there, bro.
You didn't hear about that?
You ain't here about that?
No, I didn't.
He was on TMZ and all that.
He said he told a stripper, I'll pay you to get off the stage.
To get off the stage.
This is true.
Have you ever done that?
I was probably in D.C. in jail.
You know, finally, we here at Drake Chances.

On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Hobriant,
I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money.
What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here?
We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth,
starting with the mindset shifts.
Too many of us were never, ever taught.
Financial education is not always about, like, I'm going to get rich.
That's great.
It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself
and leave a strong financial legacy for your family.
If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money,
this conversation is for you to hear more.
Listen to Money and Wealth with John O'Brien from the Black Effect Network on the I'd Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

I'm Anna Navarro, and on my new podcast, Bleep with Anna Navarro.
I'm talking to the people closest to the biggest issues happening in your community and around the world.
Because I know deep down inside right now, we are all cursing and asking what the bleep is going on.
I'm talking to people like Julie K. Brown, who broke the explosive story on Jeffrey Epstein in 2018.
These victims have been let down time and time again for decades and decades by local law enforcement, by federal law enforcement, by administration after administration.
The Justice Department through, I think we counted four presidential administrations, failed these victims.
Listen to Bleep with Anna Navarro as part of the MyCultura podcast network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you.
you get your podcasts.
Your dad, I got to ask you,
Dads, because all your
songs say
y'all don't give a fuck about
books.
True.
Have you ever
been pussy whips?
Be honest.
Maybe you ain't paid for the pussy,
but you paid for her to get some
converse.
You paid for her to go to
Slawson.
I ain't did that.
You ain't ever trained.
You know, this is my model.
What can you do for me that I can't do for myself?
No, but listen, that.
You never tricked one.
You ain't never, you never did that.
Not one time.
You know, I've always been a hustler, so I always have my own shit.
You know what I'm saying?
And if I've been kicked out.
Exactly.
So, all that bitch, man.
That ain't all that shit.
You know, all that shit.
So, you know, I'm looking for somebody who could do something for me.
I know what I could do for you and fuck you.
Is this Pimp Blanky was you talking right now?
Yeah, all that shit.
You know what I'm saying?
But as a kid, you know what I'm saying?
You know what I always took that in
Because that's all we knew
Listen, all right
But you ain't never
Been pussy whipped
I mean, you know
I like the bitch
That's as much
You gonna get out
I don't fuck the bitch
You know what I'm saying
She keep fucking me back
You know what I'm fucking
We fucking we fucking
It's like you know
You know
We're in this entertainment
We move
You know what I'm saying
I'm not gonna lie
I'm not gonna lie
In our experience
In New York
In the East Coast
You know I forget about you
We have respect
We have respect
For our woman
When it gets to the
South and the West Coast like we don't call our women bitches yeah I can say what y'all want
but in New York we don't call our women bitches when you get to the South they be like
be it oh did you see the nigga beat cat stacks oh yeah I see the niggins oh yeah I see
spinning her face but listen no further west you get they even put a nemesis
on the beach they'd be like bitch but like yeah if you dig
about it, the disrespect
towards our women don't start to the
South and then
look at David Bansett's
different. It's different. Bitschies and women, two different
things. No, but there's a lot of businesses.
But you understand
what I'm saying? Like, this is
just a deal with realistic shit.
Like, y'all actually call y'all home girls
bitch. Like, we don't call our home girls, bitch.
I mean, they call it herself, bitch, you know what
listen to them. They like, bitch, they don't get them.
I don't give them fuck. But in the South and the West
coast.
But let me tell you what I believe about that
I believe that music in general
Just is
Because if you notice as soon as whatever
Whoever was controlling music at the time
Everybody adjusted
So we can't necessarily say that anymore
Because what you have to understand
During the time that you came out
And I tell people this all the time
Even in New York
You had a community that was conducive
Because you had the Israelites, you had the nation of gods and earths, you had everybody out on the block.
Was it, who took all the people out of the shoot?
Was it Plattaki?
Who was it?
No, no.
The Lord, I mean, the mayor.
It could have been Batakki.
No, no, it was.
What's the name?
Wasn't David?
Bloomberg?
No, no, it wasn't Bluebird?
It was a Bluebird.
It was a little bird, too.
He had a rich nigga.
Anyway.
Anyway, let me make the point.
The point is this
is that if you look at New York now
the blocks are clean
it's not conducive to rappers
we come from a place that ain't conducive
To juliani by the thing
Yeah Julian yes that's who it was
Definitely it was Julian
Brain freeze yeah so
What Giuliani did was he made
Stop and Frisk law
The law
Like I can just look at you
If I'm a police officer
and I can just fresh you.
But he froze everything in the hood.
Yeah, well, that's what Giuliani did.
But my point is.
New York got the three-strikes law?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Miami got it for sure.
We don't even have a self-defense law in New York.
You can call with a hammer, you go to jail.
That's it.
It's not Florida.
It's not Mississippi.
It's not LA.
Yeah, I'm in New York.
Yeah, New York.
We got the foulest law.
So I know what you're trying to say?
I got a shout out to, I had to park my bus.
Where's brand new being from?
Brooklyn, right?
No.
New Rochelle.
New Rochelle.
I had to park my bus in New Rochelle.
Yeah, because the buses are coming in the city.
I had them things.
And I'm from Mississippi, so I had all them things on my bus.
But the problem is this, is that we don't look at the history of the places that we're from.
Like, what people don't understand is most, unless you're from the islands, if you're black, you're from the fucking south.
Right. No, that's a fact.
So it's saying that people came and people went to different parts of the country and got enlightened and forgot the reason why we are the way that we are.
Do y'all know why we call crackers crackers?
Do y'all know why we call hunkies, hunkies?
We call hunkies because they used to pull up to the black whorehouses and they felt like they was too good to come to black whorehouses.
So they used to hunk hunk.
He comes to honky.
And you know why they call it crackers?
You know why they call the crackers?
Because of the crack or the whip on their fucking back.
Even the words that we call them that they say that's derogatory, they're powerful.
And you cracking my ass on my fucking back?
That's a word of power.
That isn't like, nigger.
So I'm just saying that when you look at the South and you look at the West Coast,
you gotta look at the shit we went through.
Do you know that?
I can't say that.
You mean George Jefferson and if ain't honky?
No.
That's my, that's my nigga.
Let's make some grudge.
Do you know about them?
I think it was South Central.
I think it was South Central.
If I'm not correct,
excuse me, West Coast.
But I think it was South Central,
like, when they pulled up the...
Masturbation proposition.
No, no, no, no.
They pulled up the train car
with all guns in it.
And all the homies,
when he got the guns out,
like, they're all, like,
crack in America.
You got to think about Ali North.
You gotta think about Reagan.
Yeah, like all these shit that
When you look at the reason why the South and the West Coast
and the reason why we do the shit that we do,
we do it for a fucking reason.
And nobody ever talks about the fucking pain that we go through.
And the thing that I hate when people move to these different countries,
they forget what the fuck their mama from.
And you remember Mississippi the album, my first album,
where I start my album off, I said,
what the fuck your mama from?
What the fuck your grandmama from?
If you ain't from the islands, motherfucker, you're from the South.
Yeah, it's pretty true.
So when you look at the black exodus, black people were supposed to go and educate themselves
and come back and either get us or educate us, but motherfuckers went and got government jobs
and forgot them, motherfucker.
And that's where I come in.
It's true.
After slavery, we went straight to the South.
But there's generations upon generations of people who, like I would say people in the West Coast.
on a third or fourth,
maybe fifth generation.
Same thing in people in New York.
But, yeah, ideology, everything.
We all from the South.
We came from Slatechish.
We came to the South.
We went to Puerto Rico.
You went to Dominican Republic.
You went to Columbia.
Which the island was the slave trade all came through the island.
That's why I don't want it.
There's people in Dominican.
There's people in Dominican.
You get the wrong one.
There's people in Dominican Republic
darker than people in Compton.
There's people in,
but they don't consider themselves black sometimes and that's the problem
colonialism is still entrenched in their culture
I just left Africa and that's what I found out
colonialism is a bitch bro
I always tell people the lasting effects
where people are culture anybody in this motherfucker
where can you go and really really really
escape white supremacy
Haiti? Haiti? Not even in Haiti
Not even in Haiti because
when I went to Haiti
The lighter people live all in the mountains, and they were the richer people.
I heard somewhere that Haitian people are David Banner's favorite.
Listen, you might be right, but I ain't going to Haiti or Cuba until y'all build a W.
Make some noise for that.
I ain't making noise for that.
I ain't making for noise for that.
I'm sorry, man.
I'm going to dance to the soul.
But the places that defended themselves from white supremacy,
like Haiti.
Exactly.
That's my point.
I always the places that I treat it.
Exactly.
That I treated through words.
You're going to Haiti for a vacation?
Bro, look.
Haiti's a beautiful place.
Don't play.
Haiti's a beautiful place.
I want to go.
I'll see you in Hollywood movies.
You ain't going to Haiti for no fucking vacation.
Keep it real.
It may not be for a vacation, but a learning process, bro, like for us to learn.
We need to learn.
We need to learn the shit.
They need.
But listen, Haiti is a bad rap.
They got some real shit.
They got a bad rap.
They got a beautiful.
Please he's there.
I just fucking what Sunday to be.
So you came from Africa.
Let's take it there.
Let's go.
You said he came from Africa.
He just said.
He just came from Africa.
Let me say what I learned about Africa.
White supremacy and people in America
make you afraid of Africa
so you won't go and be a billionaire.
If you want to be a fucking billionaire,
you need to take your ass to Africa.
That's what they're going.
Everybody in the world is chopping up Africa.
And getting these motherfuckin'
Resources is crazy.
It's crazy.
And the one thing that I learned,
bro, this is some crazy shit.
A lot of the people that they flash
on the fucking camera that y'all think poor,
them motherfuckers got
70 cows and
fucking 400 acres of land.
It's like they don't need your fucking help.
It's going to be worth a lot.
That's one of the things I learned.
Like a lot of people that they take pictures of
to make the motherfuckers.
Like, the motherfuckers ain't hurt.
I went to a motherfucker and a girl tried to give
Terrence J. Girl at the time
tried to give.
wanted to do the money, he slapped the money out of fucking hand.
Like, motherfucker, I don't eat your motherfucking money?
I own all that shit you're looking at.
Wow.
So it's like, like, bro, like, they scare us away from our homeland,
so we won't go back and get money.
Like, I got to be honest with you all.
I didn't take the opportunity and maybe I should have,
but I had an opportunity to set up publishing situations in Africa,
and I didn't do it because I didn't want to be the motherfucker
that take an Americanized.
system and pimp people who
don't understand. But it's
like, bro, like the resources,
the opportunities. I want to everybody
in this room, if you're in the
city that got a whole bunch of buildings,
you're written. But if you're
in a place where there's only land,
you can build. You got an opportunity to
fucking build.
Like,
my best friend in the world right now,
she
fucking told me something I never thought about.
She said, you know what I'm in too?
I said, no, she said, I'm in putting my name on Builders.
And I never thought about that.
Everybody who's listening to Drink Champs right now,
when you in your city, look up and look at all the motherfuckers who names on building.
It ain't no people.
It ain't no people of culture.
Yeah, I've been to Africa.
What country's in Africa?
Man, we've been all over with Snoop, you know.
Sky is the limit.
So here's the million dollar question, Banner.
You got some pussy in Africa?
You went to Liberia?
Did you go to Liberia?
You can't even drink the water out there.
You can't stay inside.
Because Ali was offended that they flew in stakes on water.
Not our homie Ali, but Muhammad.
No, Muhammad.
Did you tap in to the resources?
To the real resources, man.
Oh, yeah, he did.
He's drinking at the bottom.
Poplar another one.
Poplar, here, there you go.
Hey, what did, what Day Chappelle said?
We don't know what Day Chappelle said.
No, what's up?
Not this one, Paplam.
Poplar.
What are you?
Is this?
It's a lot.
I plead the fifth.
You didn't get them pussy in Africa?
F-I-F.
I'm never coming to go on to Africa.
The F-I-F.
I never bring the F-I-A-F-A-L.
I'm good.
Yeah, I got it.
Banner, you got a loose enough.
No, my job.
That ain't what you need.
You did a song for T-I, you did this time.
You did a song for Ti-I, nigh.
You did a song.
How much pussy was coming to you in the strip club?
that moment.
In your life.
In your life.
Come on, David, man.
Loops and up.
The people, listen,
the best thing in the life is
that, you know,
it's Tal-Lie-Qa-Ca-Lie,
like, again, I told you,
he sat right in there.
And I just,
you know, I know how cool you are.
Yeah.
I know how cool Tau-E-Qa-Qa-Qa-li is.
And that's the best thing
you drink camps
could do is just show
how cool you motherfuckers are.
Because sometimes,
to certain hip,
I don't know,
we've got to stop Tile-Qa-Ca-Li
from texting these fans on Twitter.
He's what I'm talking about him.
don't go to sleep, dog.
I'm wake up in 4 o'clock in the morning,
dog. I wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning
this motherfucker fucking still answer questions.
He bargains these motherfuckers, yo.
But Ben, we got
even if we ain't talking about
your life right now, we're talking about your past
life. Got a lot of
pussy in life, right?
Talk about it. Let me tell you something,
Lori. Back in the past life.
And no harm or at all.
I need you to reset yourself
and close your eyes.
Close your eyes for a second.
Oh, he's doing it.
Turn around.
Turn around towards me.
No, he turned the wrong way.
Just stop.
Stop, not open your eyes.
Are you dabbing?
Are you dabbing?
I didn't.
Even when I was broke, I ain't never had no problem with no pussy.
Let's make some noise for him.
When I was at, my broke is, bro.
But I'm just being honest with you, man.
I had a great time in life.
But I was super focused, bro.
Like, I gotta be honest, you think about this.
I was acting, I was rapping, I was an activist.
Like, dude, nobody thought about the 10 years in my career, bro.
I went straight from, like, think about it.
When I wasn't rapping, I was producing T.I. Wayne.
What's the guy that produced Michael Jackson?
Oh, Quincy Jones, yeah.
Let's remember Quincy Jones.
Maroon 5.
So like, bro, like, the thing is
is what people don't understand.
A lot of these rappers get in the rap
to get pussy, because they never got pussy before.
Pussy and drugs and shit.
I'm going to open up.
Nobody ever, I don't think I ever talked about this.
I started fucking when I was six.
I'm being honest with you.
Start smoking weed.
Who was asked did you?
Start smoking.
You started smoking weed when I was eight.
I started smoking weed when I was eight.
So it was like, by the.
time I got older, the shit didn't mean nothing to me. Like, like pussy don't move me. Like,
drugs don't move me. Like, opportunity moves me. And if you get the opportunity, the pussy and
the drugs and whatever else the fuck, it's gonna come. And that ain't no pimping shit. That's law.
That's a universal law. God damn it. I just feel like I got pop my collar.
Put my collar. Put the other one.
Put the other one. He goes, this is your job. Pop my collar.
Like, like, like, I don't understand rappers getting in the game to get pussy.
Like, that's lame.
If you got to find something else to get pussy, like, you are another kind of dude.
Like, when I was the broke is I got pussy.
Pussy ain't a problem to me.
It ain't never been.
I've been an extract.
Let me tell you, I'm a melanated fucking phenomenon.
Let's be clear about that.
You just said to a bra she dropping the panties right.
Actually, what you got to understand?
If I'm around the panics, I'm around the panics, I'm.
already dropped. Don't worry about that. That's good. But the thing is that don't control me.
Like that kind of shit don't matter to me. That ain't, that's when I was in high school.
All these motherfuckers missed the mark. Like, dude, I want to go down in history. A man told me it's not what people think of you now. It's what they think of you 800 years from now.
Like, like, they're going to say Biggie Smalls was a white boy. They might, but they're going to say David Brown. They don't. They don't.
I said David Madam was a rich motherfucker.
You slipped that in, Danz.
You heard me.
But now, let's just keep it real.
I enjoy looking at you guys' beards.
I had it first.
I had it first.
What are y'all trying to represent?
Wisdom?
No, dad.
He's talking about our white beards.
I'm talking about y'all too.
Oh, good.
The white beard.
Is this wisdom that we represent?
I don't want to die my shit.
Because I know you could die
I think
I wanted to be the first black man
that stood up until
you know to show the youth that it's cool to be an elder
like I earn mine
And like I just got tired of man
From stress or wisdom
Both
Both both
I just got tired of fucking cosmetic shit
Like
So you was dying at one point?
Yeah my shit been great
Let's be real
My shit been great since I was
27.
Get the fuck out of that.
Like, yeah.
Now I'm seeing your shit on the side.
A little bit.
A little bit.
But I'm extravagant, though.
Yeah, I'm extravagant.
But I want, I want kids to know that it's okay to grow up because in African culture,
the fucking elders are the motherfuckers that's revered.
And I'm going to be real.
And native culture as well.
The youth are the movement.
The youth are the feet.
The youth are the feet.
The elders are the brain.
Chalo.
In American culture.
we don't even fucking respect the fucking elders.
And I trip on young rappers
because one thing you can't,
and I'm saying this word
only because of the ignorance.
Nigel, the one thing you can't stop
or the two things you can't stop
is getting old and dying.
So why the fuck
are you going to stop getting old?
Like you need to be prepared for that shit
because you keep saying young, young,
bitch you got 10 years.
And you are rap
Gray is okay
My nigga hair
Got an A RRR P car
Just in case you ain't know
Show me your chest hair
He dies
He dies his chest hair
Just show me your chest hair
Please look look
Oh shit
Look look look
Gray is okay
That a nigga
This is awesome
Hey brother
This is awesome
Who would ever thought
Right
Dazz man
Can I ask
Can you ask that as a question?
Yes, please.
Let me ask you a question.
Bro, like, if there was one thing,
because I know what it would be,
if there's one thing you could tell a youth that's popping,
like right now, he just got his fucking deal,
he's popping, he's happy,
there's one thing that you could tell him.
One mistake that you made, what would it be?
Just observe.
Don't talk, just listen.
Jodacy.
Boom.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
But, yeah, just observe, man.
You know what I'm saying?
I watch everybody else mistakes
to know what I need to do
or not to do.
That's why I'm still here, you know what I'm saying?
Right.
And so I try to advise everybody
the same thing, you know what I'm saying?
Count your money, watch everything,
you know, what are you going to have in the end?
You know what I'm saying?
What are you doing with that rap money?
As a producer, though.
Like...
I like the producer and producer talk.
Let's keep it going.
What is that thing, like,
that you think that's separate
raise dads from everybody else.
I mean, you know, just being ambitious.
You know, always wanting to go towards.
Bistice is the fighter.
Oh yeah, you know what I'm saying?
You know, just getting to the point in time,
you know what I'm saying?
You don't need a bush and, you know what I'm saying?
Somebody gonna get knocked out of this.
Yeah, yeah.
Right, right.
So hey, you know, it's always good vibe
and always work with people.
Like when you come in the room,
you already feel a vibe.
Right.
Something different, you know what I'm saying?
seeing your spirit and let you know what's going on.
I tell people all the time, people try to come in
the studio and see what I do.
I always tell them it's soul music.
There is no algorithm for what I do.
You know what the greatest shit for me
about producers
is
y'all always the smartest
nigger in the room.
I don't know if smart but vibey.
What I mean is any person
that produces
it's like
seeing a canvas.
And y'all can see the canvas before the canvas is painted.
A artist, we actually need to see the outline.
You got to give us the outline, not color in between.
I'm a kid a garter, nigger.
That's the way I think about it.
You give me the outline, motherfucker.
No way they know this.
These do they have.
They're mathematicians, man.
So, like, you know, Hazardis is a producer.
You know, all you brothers that's producers right here.
It's like, your verse on the firm was my favorite.
All of our favorite.
All of our favorite.
No, I ain't know that.
No way and know that.
Listen, I'm going to make one last album and das.
I really need a beat.
All right.
Got that.
Man, I really need to beat.
That's easy.
I don't know how I'm going to do it.
I got one now.
All right.
Well, I'm going to make sure I come correct because I've been fucking up right now.
I've been traveling and drinking champs.
Drink a champs?
Drink a champ.
Not even the drink chance.
Cheers, the drinking chance.
We took with an I-N-G on the end, motherfucker.
But listen, man, listen, there's no way I can thank you guys so much
because at the end of the day, you know,
the numbers is one thing, but for our artists to trust us
and us being people that's inside the game.
I always tell people we are like Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley,
and motherfucking, what's the other nigger?
Shaquille O'Neill, because we are inside the game.
game. We've been in the locker rooms. We did everything that we had to do. We played the game
and we want people to come in and express their self. You know, Dad's, we just did an interview
with him in Las Vegas and we had Drew Hell, Tony Yeo, Carras, and you know, it was a whole bunch
of, you know, whole bunch of, and I say, oh, Dads, man, you were in Miami, come out here. And then
David Banner flew out here. I want to thank you, my brother. That's right. It's so beautiful.
It happened to me. Right. If it wasn't for y'all,
I wouldn't have came today
I'm so appreciate you
clear that up
No no no
You have no
You have no
You have no
Is that like me?
Yeah I just
It's funny
I spent all my years
And being a rapper
And I never got in trouble
And I didn't get
In more trouble
In last month
than I have in my whole
fucking career
But I think what is
What is showing me
Is that something is about to come
That's how the most I work with me
Yeah
And I was really proud of y'all, man.
Like, good or bad, bro?
Like, me and you've always talked your mind if I get personal.
No, no, I'm not.
We always been trying to find out our weed.
And because we love the culture so much.
Right.
And, like, y'all did some shit that, like, bro, I don't really drink in front of a motherfucker.
Yeah, but you're drinking today, motherfucker.
Yeah, but I did that for, I did that for a reason.
I did it one because they got to see just because shit, we read a fucking book.
Don't mean that we don't get fucked up.
You're fucking human, man.
Yeah.
You do, man.
Jesus made wine and shit like that, didn't he?
Jesus made wine and bread.
Let's make some noise.
Jesus won his nigger to eat.
As simple as turn, I'm dyslexic.
So Jesus wanted his niggas to eat.
I don't know if it was this.
He said Jesus fed the whole village with one fish.
You know, dad's man, you know what?
You're so historic.
You're so legendary.
You know, David Banner, man.
We really appreciate you guys for coming out because at the end of the day,
if we don't support each other,
All our shit is just getting together, having some talk,
letting the fans feel like a fly on the wall.
Like at the end of the day, I know we celebrated about the $1 million,
but I can't believe that it's one million people willing to come out in one week
and support pure hip-hop.
This is nothing sanctuary.
What is that called?
There's no add-ins.
There's no other than, I don't even know what I'm just saying.
We didn't even mean that.
None of that.
That's not.
This is just straight.
We're an accident.
We're the abortion that didn't work.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, listen, man, so when the heart is crazy.
I just always thanked them because, you know what?
Y'all could have been anywhere in the world tonight,
but y'all spend the night with the drink chance.
Let's make sure.
Let's take it.
Let's be.
The night.
The night is here.

Penalty, we had some shit going on.
Penalty was supposed to sign Nelly.
At the same time.
They were supposed to sign cash money at first.

But what, but what it did, it made me a better business, man.
Because let me tell you out something before I go out.
This last thing I'm going to say tonight.
It's your fault even when it's not.
How the fuck you're going to expect God to allow you to be a visionary?
Being a visionary means you see shit other people don't see,
but you're cursed to sit in and alone.
So how are you going to expect some other motherfuckers away from where you're from
to see your vision?
You be a fucking business man.
If a Tommy boy with a pop, I wouldn't be who I am.
I rent my whole fucking building is not
If a bitch don't want to see me
And they say these motherfuckers ain't doing me right
I rent a whole fucking building

The very first guy that wrote the hook.
Sizzler's on that record.
No, no, no, no, no.
I already did heroin.
The guy that wrote, I heard you.

Don't leave us, man.
I just want to say I had a great time.
Always.
Love everybody.
Everybody in the room, you know what I'm saying?
We all work together, man.

He's Day County.
He's Day County.
He's talking about the back damn.
Before you get up out of head, it's anything you don't want to say.
Pre-order the God Box.
Any way you get your fucking music,
people say they want better music, but they don't pay for it.
So, you know, it's to the point now where our music is ran by people who don't look like us,

Like, if you want, motherfuck-fuck, you want better music, pay for that shit.
Motherfuckers is streaming, but it's definitely killing our, like,

Make some noise.
Man,
