David Banner Quote

  • [Banner is so committed to paving that road he even placed 5 golden tickets in select copies of his first album. Each lucky recipient got a $10,000 scholarship to the school of their choice.] The one thing I hate about America, ... is how they channel all these ideas to the urban community that are not conducive to us being functional people in America . They`ve got us thinking it`s negative to be smart; that it makes you a `nerd,` and that it`s cool to be late for everything and be unprofessional. Whenever I do an interview I have to wait around for the writer because they just assume that rappers are always late. So I`m trying to show that there`s nothing wrong with handling your business properly and doing what you`re supposed to and that there`s nothing wrong with being smart. Knowledge is what you need in order to survive! David Banner
