he's speaking the truth... but conservatives always want to blame movies, music and such instead of admiting that there are problems with the system itself
David Banner is dope but he is losting his time doing this... Hip Hop forever. Look at RSC Anniversary, Uk Champs, Battle of the year, B.Boy Summit, Freestyle Session... on these events where at Hip Hop Lives.
I agree. If more of them were articulate enuff 2 speek on the behalf of the genre, they alot of the misunderstanding would be cleared up. The only problem is that alot of them figure this doesnt make them look "hard".
He didn't justify use of the word, he only uncovered the fact that its used at least 215x in one of Mark Twain's books, still required reading in schools across America. These same public figures attack hip-hop artists for use of the word. As far as them "not winning it" for "us", it's still a start. Chairman made it very clear that the artists present weren't EVEN INVITED to the hearing. Theres no perfect person to represent us, only those who care about hip hop culture should represent
Yes LOL ARTFORM. I would put up lyrics from someone names Ras Kass or Nas and you put up your favorite artists lyrics and you will see it takes ALOT MORE TALENT to write stuff they do and there is so much more to their songs lyrically than some rock song or anything. I laugh at people who think it's all ignorant, like there is no knowledge out there in hip hop music, just because you hear things on the radio or tv. does not mean thats the whole. Some artists like Wu Tang and PE etc. are DEEP!
So you tellimg me a dude that studied music and got a degree in it that everytime I get on my keyboard and press and CM7 chord that the sound coming out is not music. Well what is it then if it is not music and the stuff I eat at mickie D's is not food I get full.
Nigga comes from the word Naga which was a divine race(blax) of serpent people. The serpent in ancient mythology represents wisdom and intelligence. Alot of elders tell us 2 learn the etymology of the word, but they tend 2 start around slavery when Blacks been on this planet for thousands of years.
i saw these videos before..but wanted to watch it again..and i can't find the video where a white representative of congress took the side of eric dyson, master p, and david banner..he said something like "i remember when the N.W.A. came out with the song fuck the police and i thought, that's horrible, and then later you see a whole lot of incidents in the los angeles area about police brutality" anybody know if that's still up?
The industry dont want Rappers to talka bout real shit and issues because "IT WONT SELL" why dont they have jimmy ivine or the head of sony or capitol records get blamed for the content.
It wasn't that they weren't invited, jrodlm, it was that they weren't there by SUBPOENA. There is a distinct difference. I find it funny that part of his defense of hip hop involves it being popular as it is (while people who change their style don't sell) and that crime existed before hip hop. No censorship of the N word during slavery? That is just retarded to bring up. Ownership of another human being wasn't against the law then either, but you'd expect censorship?
Industry is making the rules of RAP. Not Hip Hop, Hip Hop is a culture and have more elements. And all these elements still develop like Grafiiti, Breaking, DJing and Real MCing. Rap came from Hip Hop but Rap is just the industry. When Bambaataa gave the name Hip Hop for this was for all culture, not just Rap... Please, stop say that this stupid music is Hip Hop, Its just Rap...
First of all most hip hop is meaningless and stuid b.s. like homey below me said. There however are still some artists out there who speak on real stuff and get deep, too bad these guys won't take the time out to listen to them or open their minds. Hip hop is not the problem in America, yet these idiots will try to deflect things on them to throw off the wrong doings they do themselves. They need something to blame? Idiots will buy it as well.
David Banner - One of the few Hip Hop artists that has a Masters.
AND???!!!!
Commwarrior many rappers dont own theirs sadly
NOHOMO masters is a big deal
More rappers have a masters you just don't know it,by the way some of them act in public
he's speaking the truth... but conservatives always want to blame movies, music and such instead of admiting that there are problems with the system itself
David Banner one of my favorite rappers. Straight up. "Oh yeah, this the last sentence!"
David banner a legend fr
And he’s only laughing because he knows the situation at hand is hysterical and you can clearly tell he’s fed up.
David Banner is dope but he is losting his time doing this...
Hip Hop forever.
Look at RSC Anniversary, Uk Champs, Battle of the year, B.Boy Summit, Freestyle Session... on these events where at Hip Hop Lives.
Awesome speech!! Much respect to David banner!!

Can this man read? How did he make it to congress?
In fact, if u study the etymology of "curse words", u will see that basically all of them used 2 be non offensive.
So you tellimg me a dude that studied music and got a degree in it that everytime I get on my keyboard and press and CM7 chord that the sound coming out is not music. Well what is it then if it is not music and the stuff I eat at mickie D's is not food I get full.
im sorry if ive offended anyone, but david banner is not a hip hop artist, hes a rapper. his music is rap and is not from the soul
man all i hear is static
Nigga comes from the word Naga which was a divine race(blax) of serpent people. The serpent in ancient mythology represents wisdom and intelligence. Alot of elders tell us 2 learn the etymology of the word, but they tend 2 start around slavery when Blacks been on this planet for thousands of years.
cool man
🔥✊🏽
I was responding to someone that said about music
i saw these videos before..but wanted to watch it again..and i can't find the video where a white representative of congress took the side of eric dyson, master p, and david banner..he said something like "i remember when the N.W.A. came out with the song fuck the police and i thought, that's horrible, and then later you see a whole lot of incidents in the los angeles area about police brutality" anybody know if that's still up?
David Banner represents a new generation of hip hop entrepreneurs. Educated, trendy and outspoken.
Hey he has a few god points.. BUT most of the rap is making week minded brainwashed..
The industry dont want Rappers to talka bout real shit and issues because "IT WONT SELL"
why dont they have jimmy ivine or the head of sony or capitol records get blamed for the content.
however, his message was pretty persuasive. no offence, he sounded a lot more intelligent that his songs.
they could of came but they failed to do it.
at least they stood up for hiphop
well fucking said.
ai1536 is right, unfortunately... kids who listen to those artists are probably doing okay
It wasn't that they weren't invited, jrodlm, it was that they weren't there by SUBPOENA. There is a distinct difference.

smart man DAvid Banner
somebody must not want something to be heard
what you are talking about is the comersial hip hop, not all hip hop
smh..interesting..
Industry is making the rules of RAP.
Not Hip Hop, Hip Hop is a culture and have more elements.
And all these elements still develop like Grafiiti, Breaking, DJing and Real MCing.
Rap came from Hip Hop but Rap is just the industry.
When Bambaataa gave the name Hip Hop for this was for all culture, not just Rap...
Please, stop say that this stupid music is Hip Hop, Its just Rap...
Your video has been hacked, so all you now hear is static.
he thought hip hop was rap, hahaha.
I was cheering for Banner. But i wish he wouldn't have kept on laughing... i can't take him seriously that way. Overall it was a good speech.
First of all most hip hop is meaningless and stuid b.s. like homey below me said.

What are you trying to say? Honestly.... you don't make any sense.
Hey he has a few god points.. BUT most of the rap is making week minded brainwashed..
