When Beyonce performs she always speaks of her on stage character Sasha. The same must be true for Lavell Crump aka David Banner. While on interviews, or giving back to the community his insight is educated and interesting, yet his rap songs are so…. typical. He mentions his fight to include more dark skin girls in his videos, but explains he can’t have it all. They can’t be dark skin AND have natural hair. That will be too much for the mainstream to handle. All facets of beauty should be represented in the media, but do we really want Queens of the Nubian bent over shakin their ass in rap videos?

It’s no surprise to me, a native Mississippian (as is David Banner), who was first introduced to David Banner’s music via Crooked Letterz. This might be a shocker, but David Banner used to be more conscious when he was with Crooked Letterz. I’m guessing he found that selling out to mainstream would keep the cash flowing so he “Dumbed it down.” (But you won’t see “Crooked Letterz” mentioned on his wikipedia profile!) That’s the real irony, IMO. This dude is no dummy by any means…he was even the SGA President at Southern University!
