the first single off the album. get ready. i had it first. and like i said, i’m one of the few bammas that has the “chillin’” tees. if you’re a wale fan, make some noise, and maybe you’ll get one.

school has me strapped for time to make any deep, introspective entries. so instead, i’m throwing you a deep, introspective track from david banner. probably one of the best songs i’ve heard from him, ever. it amazes me that he can make great music, regardless of whether it’s ignorant or intelligent. this is the latter. enjoy. thank shake of 2dopeboyz for this joint.

DL: david banner – when you hear what i got to say

don’t think he’s getting too soft or anything, though. like i said, he can give you that fist-in-palm music (think “knuck if u buck” / lil scrappy stuff), too. take this, for instance.

DL: david banner – might getcha (feat. lil jon)

oh boy. vintage banner, from 2003. makes you wanna just kick someone in the face, doesn’t it?

"just cuz i rap doesn’t mean that i won’t put a hole in a p**** a** n**** like you!"

this re-up feature is incredible. all the people who got on this joint late (hey man, i’m just calling a spade a spade) get a chance to get gems. like this one.

can you dig it!? i kinda like it. this must be the first of his changes since he dropped the “soulchild” from his moniker and began referring to himself simply as “musiq”, stating that he had not yet mastered his craft. goodness. he also gave up on neo-soul, and demoted himself to the average ranks of an R&B artist.

i still think his voice is butter on toast, all hetero. is the track hot or not!?
