Following his conscious freestyle at the Hip-Hop Cypher at the BET Awards, David Banner swings by Sway in the Morning to speak his mind. He has a message to our culture and gives us tips and a probable solution.
"How can black people be held accountable for things they do, when they don't know what they're doing." Says Banner. "We don't know why we hate ourselves. We don't know why we're doing what we do."
Further more, he suggests to have a strong "Knowledge of self" and tells us to "create our own. Distribute our own, and buy our own." While comparing ourselves to the "White Supremacy."

David Banner mentioned that people don't listen to conscious rap because it is (musically) wack...I totally agree. KRS referred to his approach as Edutainment. To be effective, the music and the message must be both entertaining and educational. If the balance isn't met, it only makes a great recipe for boredom.

@tim3yin 9 жыл бұрын

I totally disagree with that, the main reason people don't listen to conscious rap is because it is not cool to be conscious no more. even conscious rappers don't want to be called conscious rappers no more, thats how bad that shit is. back in the day consciousness was cool and it had nothing to do with the beat or the music behind it.

@aslaammahdi3244 9 жыл бұрын

Conscious rap and real hiphop isn't musically wack that other shit is!!!

@avidcunnilingist4548 9 жыл бұрын

tim3yin The beat and the music have always mattered...BECAUSE IT'S FUCKIN MUSIC! If the music didn't matter, then it wouldn't it make more sense just to go read a book? The only reason conscious rap ain't cool today is because it doesn't sound cool. ...And it doesn't sound cool because it lacks energy - which makes it fuckin boring! Public Enemy made shit that everybody moved to, and delivered an insightful message that transcended the typical demographic, BECAUSE IT WAS ENTERTAINING. 911 is a joke, Fight the Power, Night of the Living Baseheads, Don't Believe the Hype...Have you ever heard of Whodini?...these were conscious records that were played at block parties dawg. ...So what the fuck are you talkin about? Niggaz limit themselves to making music that is two dimensional and then don't understand why no one listens. It's not due to the content, nor the cliched claim of attention deficit (though the latter may actually hold some weight) it's simply because it is packaged incorrectly. Earlier conscious rap records brought the message to the party, and a party with the message. How the fuck can dead music uplift?

@avidcunnilingist4548 9 жыл бұрын

Aslaam Mahdi Don't confuse content with musicality. A distinction needs to be made there.

Deuteronomy= Greek meaning the second law. Why is it the second law? Because the FIRST law is what Esau's children stole to make the contrived books the lost call a bible.

I just recently heard the stories of how slave babies were used as Alligator bait. Black babies used as if they were worms or shrimp or something less than human. I appreciate this interview, not only does it get my mind motor running but it sparks my interest & makes me feel as though there is most definitely something I can do to help better black communities & just the mind frame of young black adults. We all have a purpose, we just have to execute our duties. Things can change & they will. Not to sound cliché or black panther-ish, but WE have to come TOGETHER as a PEOPLE.

I'm whatever you want to project me as guy. what got me is the "your boy tupac who you Idolize" comment. other than that I agreed with everything straight up. maybe you got something different out of what I stated but at the end of the day these are some positive brothas p.e. , krs, pac, and a few more but not enough in the realm of hip hop.

To see and hear another brother or sister search true knowledge is a blessing. Our search for self is the way to our true freedom. Stop looking for the answers through the devil's glasses. The bible, the koran, drop them!!! We were here before those concepts even existed. We are the descendants of survivors of oppression, slavery and the middle passage. Realize our strength.
