David Banner Complains About Rolling Stone Review of His “Masterpiece”

7/15/08, 4:55 pm EST

David Banner doesn’t mince words when talking about his new album The Greatest Story Ever Told, which comes out today. “It’s a masterpiece, dude,” the Mississippi MC told Rolling Stone a few weeks ago. “It’s one of the best rap albums in the last three or four years.” But Banner wasn’t pleased with our review of the album, which praised the rapper’s political “bulldozer flow,” but complained that he too-often traded in rote rhymes about guns and clubs. “The reviewer only wrote on songs like ‘Shawty Say’ and ‘Get Like Me,’ ” Banner wrote in an e-mail to RS yesterday. “But those are just the Playboy covers to the Bible inside.” Now, that’s a good line!

Oh, great. Another Kanye, with the over-inflated ego and massive chip on his shoulder.

Spare us, please.

masterpiece? Like Abbey Road or De Stijl?

Kanye | 7/16/2008, 9:36 am EST

I bet this will be a classic…like Ruben Studdard or the 9 to 5 soundtrack. What is with these idiots who bang around on pro tools thinking they are musicians. This guy sucks harder than Jenna Jameson.

I didn’t read the review, but that’s THE problem I’ve got with Banner’s music. Production is great, lyrics are alright, but too many of these songs are about “who has the bigger point”.

I can’t really understand Banner : he’s holding conferences about hip hop, education, and still has some of the most ignorant content in some songs …

anyone looking for educating content, in rap music of all places, is a dork.

Can rap get anymore original? Another track with the word Shawty in the title.

And I feel the same way about the music youre dissing HIS music for. Your lack of respect for musicians and their freedom of creativity is amazing. Don’t like it, don’t listen. I’m sure 99% of you posting haven’t even HEARD the cd. LOL imbeciles..
