DB for Vice President!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



   Let me tell y'all about this dude! David Banner is a hood or should I say an intelligent hoodlum! This dude can converse about anything. from politics to grams to hip hop to sports. He's a very facilitated dude! Dave came into town along with Taalib Kweli and performed at the 9;30 club. He missed my dinner party but finished in time to party afterwards. Anyway, let me tell you a story that was my generations equivalent to a rebel movement. We played a And 1 game in Mississippi back in "2003" that's when i met Dave in his hometown of Jackson. He performed at halftime his hottest single at the time, "Like A Pimp." It was police at every corner of the basketball court while he performed. He climbed on top of the basket and told a crowd of over 5,000 to come on the court and party. The whole crowd ran on the floor. The police was like, "everybody go back. Dave said on the mic, "I'll make them tear this mf'er up and it's nothing y'all can do about it!" The police proceeded to take cover. Then this when the power came in. Dave stood a top of the basket and said, "hey y'all, go back to y'all seats," and in a matter of seconds, 5'000 people left the court and went to there seats with out any problem or tragedies occurring. It reminded me of the scene in Malcolm X when Denzel held his hand up and ordered the people off at the police station and the cop said, "that's too much power for one man to have!" (I was there also back in "92" i was an extra in the crowd. Spike Lee was a Georgetown fan and invited us to the set.) Anyway, Dave is the man for that one! If you missed Dave, he'll be back for my annual BDay weekend starting Friday November 11Th, with Common at Love! See ya!
