For David Banner there is no alternative. The ambitious rap trailblazer continues to represent his beloved Mississippi with a pride and ferocity that has made the rapper/producer one of hip-hop's most intriguing and in-demand talents.
Who would have guessed that a troubled yet energetic kid from Jackson, Mississippi would single-handedly carry a depressed state known as the epitome of Southern racism and poverty into a respected source of hip hop music?
Who would have bet that Banner would storm the Billboard album charts with his gold-certified 2003 major label debut Mississippi-The Album (SRC) and critically hailed follow-up MTA2: Baptized in Dirty Water? Most recently David Banner has witnessed his stock rise as a much sought after track master, crafting high profile gems for the multi-platinum likes of T.I. ("Rubber Band Man"), and Nelly ("E.I.- The Tipdrill Remix").
DO THIS: This is one of my hot jams that shows my lyrical ability as a Southern artist. I'm far from being the best but I'm a few bars away from being one of them. DO THIS explains more of my motivation and sort of talks about me being a rapper in a competition where theres mostly East Coast rappers which I tend to think it makes it a lil more difficult to win over votes and positive opinions.
DO THIS is really a "go-getta" type jam that says put the beat on and I'll show ya that cha boy can DO THIS. It says that I won't be intimidated by any rapper; winner, runner-up or loser. I'm going to give yall a run for this manney and record deal so be on yo Malcom X and do what cha do.
YO ITS BEEN REAL. BUT JUST BECAUSE THE CONTEST IS OVER NOW DONT FORGET ABOUT THE BIGGER PICTURE HERE. LOUD WAS NOT CREATED JUST FOR THIS CONTEST. ITS MAIN GOAL IS TO BE USED AS A NETWORKING TOOL. KEEP THAT IN MIND AND GOOD LUCK IN THE FUTUER
