Real Talk from David Banner!!!

Rap Dudes PAY ATTENTION!!!

The FOXtrotting Begins on Luda & Obama

Ludacris - "Obama Is Here"




Ok...so you have Luda giving props to Obama...But the song gets quickly rejected by Obama's campaign...

I know Luda was trying to give props...but one side of me says "He went about that song kinda wrong"...the other side of me says "ehhhh...so so track...whatever"...

Obama's campaign didn't want anyone to get offended or scared...basically white people who are looking for a reason NOT to vote for Obama...so it makes sense to reject the song since Luda kicked some lines like "paint the White House Black"...

If you're trying to be the President of the United States, you have to please the people...ALL PEOPLE...not just black...So in this sense, I feel where Obama and his people are coming from...bad move by Ludacris...

Muthafuckas kill me how they think if Obama is President, the black struggle will simply vanish...The next president will have to spend a tremendous amount of time cleaning up BUSH's fuck ups...So it's going to be a difficult task...I feel like it can be done...But sometimes I feel like some brothers and sisters think life will be smooth sailing if Obama is in office...There is no reason, for example, for cops to stop shooting innocent black men with Obama as President...If anything, the ignorant, racists fucks will probably look to retaliate in some way against their views on Obama...so potentially, police brutality could remain the same, or get worse!!!

Regardless of who is in office, we all have to be leaders in our own right to see change...'cause if Obama doesn't do what you THINK he should do, then what are you gonna say!!??!

Just my two cents...

Sick...

Awww man...

I feel like dirt right about now...So much has gone on this week, I think my body was more open to getting sick...I usually get sick maybe once or twice a year...But I'll admit, my eating habits have slightly strayed lately...with the stress level going up...But, I have been hitting the gym more, and getting my cardio on...Lost a little weight...feeling better...I just have to keep at it, and manage/relieve the stress, and I'll be good...

I should be back on my A-Game in a couple of days...

The Streetwise LP...Official Release Date

Yessir...

I've decided to make the official street date for "The Streetwise LP" October 14th, 2008. I'm still debating whether I'll make it available digitally before this date. I was looking to drop it next month, but I want to make sure the publicity side of things is set up correctly. I'm trying to do ANY AND ALL interviews, reviews, etc...in print magazines and online...so it's best to push to album to October.

The official press release is coming really soon. For anyone that wants to set up an interview with me now...hit up mceorecords@gmail.com...PEACE!!!

Cesar Comanche New Video: "Hands High"

Check it out...Straight outta Poland!!!

"THE STREETWISE LP"...is HERE!!!

AYOOOOO!!!

Wow...After talking about this project for YEARS...it's FINALLY done, complete, final, "red" to go!!!

I am SO happy right now...I know it's just the beginning and there's a lot of work ahead to spread the word...But putting an album together and making it sound like an ALBUM is not easy...I could have easily thrown a bunch of tracks together and called it an album...before the Floe Almighty projects...But I wanted my official debut album to have some memorable tracks on it...enjoyable from beginning to end...And I think overall, it's DOPE!!! Of course, you're gonna say that about your own shit...But hey...it is what it is...

SO....The official news will be released within the next few days...I'll be adding an online snippet session (video) for you to view shortly...

I don't even drink....But I swear I could pop a bottle right now and CELEBRATE!!! lol But naw, let's hit the gym instead :)

PEACE!!!

JL Album...progress?

What a task...it's only in the beginning stages...but things that I didn't expect have suddenly popped up...But again, anything can happen in this point, so I'll keep pushing for it...If it was meant to be, it'll go down...we'll see...

4th of July ish

Just found out Senator Jesse Helms died this morning...He joins the second and third president of the U.S., Thomas Jefferson and John Adams...as those who died on Independence Day...

Jesse Helms is/was a BIG DEAL in North Carolina. Very controversial dude...Very outspoken on his Conservative views...He definitely would not be one to give "The Streetwise LP" a listen...lol

Not sure if I can honestly say Rest In Peace...but whatever...The heart of NC will mourn today, that's for sure.
