- Опубликовано: 15 дек 2014
- Following his conscious freestyle at the Hip-Hop Cypher at the BET Awards, David Banner swings by Sway in the Morning to speak his mind. He has a message to our culture and gives us tips and a probable solution.
"How can black people be held accountable for things they do, when they don't know what they're doing." Says Banner. "We don't know why we hate ourselves. We don't know why we're doing what we do."
Further more, he suggests to have a strong "Knowledge of self" and tells us to "create our own. Distribute our own, and buy our own." While comparing ourselves to the "White Supremacy."

Such a breath of fresh air; a black celebrity not afraid of speaking his mind. Beautiful.
Hebrew Honey god and goddes complex
Hebrew Honey do you say the corny n word?
As a black man I feel warm after watching this...good to see my brothers having intellectual discussion. One love.
I'm late 😒 just found this clips
David banner is the new krs 1 we need him in hip hop people. He is woke!
Right! because we want better for our children
I have had a lot of peace after listening to him.
"...if you don't get embarrassed by anything, you don't have a soul..." real talk!
This Dude Found The Light And God Is Working Through Him DAVID BANNER KEEP DOING YOU THANG MAN GOD BLESS.
David Banner has to be one our leaders in the movement. My people it's time. One fist, One love.
Yesssss
+William Craig What do you think about the shit that happened to Bernie Sanders? I am not denying racism or anything that has happened, I just don't agree with it.
+William Craig I`m with you on that if he started a party with the leadership and knowledge he has in him I`m all in I`ll be a part of it. Ameen
+William Craig he's an uninformed idiot is what he is spewing lies and leaving out crucial elements!!! remember black people started and introduced slavery to the world!! so yeah you were enslaved, captured, and sold to the highest bidder by your own kind!!!!
+coley22 I'm sorry you feel that way brother. I encourage you to realize the crucial elements within the statements your making.
Love all Sway's interviews but this one takes the cake. Banner is speaking facts, and we as a people need to listen.
"I don't care what you think about me, I just want you to think."
-Banner
David Banner mentioned that people don't listen to conscious rap because it is (musically) wack...I totally agree. KRS referred to his approach as Edutainment. To be effective, the music and the message must be both entertaining and educational. If the balance isn't met, it only makes a great recipe for boredom.
I totally disagree with that, the main reason people don't listen to conscious rap is because it is not cool to be conscious no more. even conscious rappers don't want to be called conscious rappers no more, thats how bad that shit is. back in the day consciousness was cool and it had nothing to do with the beat or the music behind it.
Conscious rap and real hiphop isn't musically wack that other shit is!!!
tim3yin The beat and the music have always mattered...BECAUSE IT'S FUCKIN MUSIC! If the music didn't matter, then it wouldn't it make more sense just to go read a book?
The only reason conscious rap ain't cool today is because it doesn't sound cool. ...And it doesn't sound cool because it lacks energy - which makes it fuckin boring!
Public Enemy made shit that everybody moved to, and delivered an insightful message that transcended the typical demographic, BECAUSE IT WAS ENTERTAINING. 911 is a joke, Fight the Power, Night of the Living Baseheads, Don't Believe the Hype...Have you ever heard of Whodini?...these were conscious records that were played at block parties dawg.
...So what the fuck are you talkin about?
Niggaz limit themselves to making music that is two dimensional and then don't understand why no one listens. It's not due to the content, nor the cliched claim of attention deficit (though the latter may actually hold some weight) it's simply because it is packaged incorrectly. Earlier conscious rap records brought the message to the party, and a party with the message. How the fuck can dead music uplift?
Aslaam Mahdi Don't confuse content with musicality. A distinction needs to be made there.
Avid Cunnilingist you right on. P.E. had everyone playing their music from the street guys to the college kids. they had the edge of so called "gangsta rap" but had a serious message.
David Banner is always speaking truth, great wisdom and integrity.
Dayum, 3 1/2 mins in he's talking about White Supremacy. Good thing it's Sirius XM.
Brother went there, I love that shit, got mad passion for it.
Ashe ashe ashe! Give thanks for this brother.
Christ was a man, you failed
Deuteronomy= Greek meaning the second law. Why is it the second law? Because the FIRST law is what Esau's children stole to make the contrived books the lost call a bible. Please stop propagating this nonsense about the bond servant being a prophecy for the Black man from a g-d who apparently hated his own so called chosen people.
Banner dropping gems as usual...PREACH BLACK MAN!!
BLACKS NEED TO PRACTICE GROUP ECONOMICS!
Real shit
Let's do it!
Miillie Mesh Let's get started then! I have a lecture on how to effectively get it started
Where the lecture
Tremelle Cook Inbox me and i will show you my video sir
I just recently heard the stories of how slave babies were used as Alligator bait.
Black babies used as if they were worms or shrimp or something less than human.
I appreciate this interview, not only does it get my mind motor running but it sparks my interest
& makes me feel as though there is most definitely something I can do to help better black communities
& just the mind frame of young black adults. We all have a purpose, we just have to execute our duties.
Things can change & they will. Not to sound cliché or black panther-ish, but WE have to come TOGETHER as a PEOPLE.
Yeah, I heard about that s**t about the alligator bait maybe back in the early fall and lemme tell you, it got me REAL pissed, like wanting to kill somebody.... just a damn shame what our ancestors and forefathers went through.
king black YES, YES, YES
Miillie Mesh As a black woman you should know that gynecology was founded on the experimentation of black women.
David Banner was a spirituality cleansing... Give it up for David Banner, Sway & the whole crew #goodjob
produce , distribute and buy our own products, THIS IS POWERFUL... if the black community can unify and do just those 3 things , then we will begin to realize true greatness, then they will be forced to respect you because you control their pockets
This brother got malcolm x spirit, speaking truth to power unapologetically! The God!
Banner third eye is shinning, very dangerous.
👍🙌
BIONIK BLACK yes very apparent
David Banner is everything. Black people are the only race of people that depends on their oppressor yet we are the most powerful. Ive heard other races of people say this! Others have their own...we don't. It's time to to rise up as a people...personally I'm tired of this shit! It's almost 2015 and we still get shitted on.
"if we want change we have to stand up and fight for it, they not gonna give it to us....We just have to take it"
- Tupac Shakur
banner was dope on hidden colors 3 too. he reminds me of pac when he speaks.
***** you are right, 100% - KRS is knowledge born foreal. Chuck and Griff both put it down tough too. I grew up watching pac , I wish he could have gotten older and matured but he still said a lot of meaningfull things as well.
damn homie? wtf? I was rocking with you 100%. agreeing with everything you said. I Idolize the most high if you reading this. I got much respect for Chuck D. I even chopped it up with him once on twitter. who are you talking to?
how you gone try to bring some negative energy to the conversation? who or what the fuck are you? I'm sittin here building talking about how Banner remind me of the older generations and I just happen to mention pac and you blow it up talking about idolization. I Idolize no man. you got me fucked up.
I'm whatever you want to project me as guy. what got me is the "your boy tupac who you Idolize" comment. other than that I agreed with everything straight up. maybe you got something different out of what I stated but at the end of the day these are some positive brothas p.e. , krs, pac, and a few more but not enough in the realm of hip hop.
***** right I'm a kid. I just thought I was building on a nice cypher and you just came with some other shit but nevermind that. like I said on a positive still, David Banner is speaking on some real shit. Mos Def is another guy out there on that same page too.
I love to see dialogue about major issues in society no matter how uncomfortable or controversial it may be. Everyone will never agree on everything, but until we have more of these conversations which will lead to organization and action, nothing will change.
"The most potent weapon of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed."
- Steven Biko
i like hearing people speak the truth
Thank you David Banner and Killer Mike for always dropping the knowledge.
David Banner is so Dope and I love that he is a conscious brother .
I'm feeling this masculine energy!
To see and hear another brother or sister search true knowledge is a blessing. Our search for self is the way to our true freedom. Stop looking for the answers through the devil's glasses. The bible, the koran, drop them!!! We were here before those concepts even existed. We are the descendants of survivors of oppression, slavery and the middle passage. Realize our strength.
True that T.
Much love and respect to David Banner! The brotha spits the absolute truth and we need more artists like him! Artists who are not afraid to fight against this system of white supremacy!
Dude just confirmed everything that I have always questioned. These are the interviews I put on my mp3 player. Classic shit by my man Banner
We love you down here in Louisiana David! Keep doin' whatcha doin' mane! We need this!
David Banner is right on! Thanks for not being a coward and keep speaking the truth n don't change! Much Respect and needed~
we need more of this in hiphop, rappers could be the best teachers because the youth emulates them. Imagine if consciousness was cool and trendy
This is REAL TALK
Family Talk
Bout to get on my black panther shit after watching this interview very insightful!
Yes our youth need to rise up. Our elders done took the backseat...
Black folks is waking up out here!!! Much respect to Banner and Killer Mike for always speaking the truth and not sugarcoating shit for nobody
in so many ways this dude just talked to my soul... he is an inspiration
My favorite Sway show to date!
I love you, David Banner. Asanté Wa, King! #God
David Banner has gone to become a very conscious brother! Peace .
I respect what David just said. I never heard no rapper in this decade put white supremacy on blast like that. That was awesome.
David Banner speaking the reality of life to us
this is gonna be historic . we needed this
I love being black
First Interview i can watch without skipping
David Banner is dropping the knowledge.
Man, I did not want this interview to end. Much respect to David Banner for being and telling the truth....and yes he is fine!
Man remember when banner was sleeping in his van in the queens ( a hood in jackson). Them boys was treacherous back then to see the transformation is like malcolm x my cousin them lived on queen Alexandria REMEBER when the stadium was pooping them boys had the city on lock crooked lettaz album grey skies was the soundtrack to hood at that time
Cole, Talib, Banner and Killer Mike all speaking out recently. We need to wake up!
I remember seeing the conscious seeds in David Banner back in the day and it's beautiful seeing them sprout the way they have.
I've always been a fan of david banner but seeing this interview has given me a much greater appreciation for him....
He is speaking the MF truth! I forgot all about him... David Banner, I gotta start checkin' for you bruh
"I think the first thing we need to do is find OUR GOD".....Fam you don't even realize the gem you dropped when you said that! Praise the most high for most of us waking up and he clearly has his spirit on you. I hope he brings you closer to the truth of that statement!
No fam, it is you that don't get it. I know we all come from a place, we have a walk to get to the truth and maybe you are of the many who just won't get it. I completely disagree and I use to think like you before I came into the knowledge of The Most High. Even if you don't believe in THE FATHER common sense has to kick in at some point when you look around and know that things don't just "happen" upon themselves, we were not created out of thin air with no spirit behind us. being the force of our existence. Keep thinking you are GOD and see how far you get when this all goes up in smoke...you will be among the ashes. I hope you find your way.
king black if that is what you chose to believe then ok, your fate is sealed.
***** He still hasn't be able to actually refute what you are saying, but I know in his mind he think he has.
***** lol exactly!
***** mos definitely. I believe in the most high and the TRUTH concerning the bible and its history.
I want to apologize for not recognizing the greatness of this black man. Thank you
I love you David! Many of us say these things to each other in private life but those with the ability to speak publicly make such a difference. I so appreciate you! Thank you Sway for allowing him to speak.
Sway you need to bring Dr Umar Ifatundé Johnson NOW!!
Umar might get the lights shut off for Sway lmbo
+Bambata Candt seriously its time that brother came up on sway in the morning.
One of the realest interviews you will ever listen to!#Knowledge is Power~
Definitely one of the most important RUclips videos of 2014 for black people. Period.
Man...this is the best interview I have ever seen from someone that is in the music business, PERIOD!
The realest shit I ever heard..
Sway asked the question "How do we segregate inside America"? My answer: The same way every other race and culture does; support, educate, produce and protect our own.
THIS NEEDS MORE VIEWS. This is the time when you see what Politicians, what Artists, what organizations are really for the community. Support who supports you.
David Banner always speaking the truth.
Truth. Period.
GOD Bless you David
From his musical genesis, David Banner has been a beacon of light for his people and anyone who is thirsty for knowledge and pivotal information. I salute you my brother!
I have such great respect for David Banner and his perspectives on my people. We do need to support us more.
The Isis (Yssis) papers by *Dr. Frances Cress Welsing* explains *everything*.
damn david banner is 10000000000000000% correct on everything
I have always been a major David Banner supporter and this just solidifies my reasoning more!
This is one of the best interviews that you have ever done Sway! I loooove looove looove David Banner and what he's doing and saying!!!! I agree 1000% times infinity!!!
Love this interview, how do we put this to work?!
*Nationalize!* check out some of the videos i have uploaded. I had converted them from blogtalk radio shows. the speakers on there talks about nationalizing, and how *the vast majority of us were already in america* {north,central,south and the islands} and how we are indigenous here but were taught we came on "slave ships". dont believe me check out this link. they are old pictures dating back to the 15-1600s depicting who and how the true natives looked like. You should check it out.

Thanks for the info, I'm gonna look into it.
Joyy Norris *You* also should read this. this is a proclamation written by rahm emmanuel. he was obama's chief of staff and *Now* chicago mayor. all these politicians know the truth. some are trying to tell the truth but not outright since they'll most likely get killed for it. the proclamation simply breaks down in a nutshell who we are and how, like david banner said, america is ours by bloodright. here You go.
www.rvbeypublications.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/RahmEmanuelProclamation.pdf
king black and where are the "slave ships"? what museum? i see you avatar is khalid muhummad. do you know he called himself a Moor and said himself we were always here? after that shortly the got rid of him like they did El-hajj {malcolm-x}.
king black
no one man can be a "sovereign" with out his nation being behind him. that i can agree with. but to say that a people who once thought the world was flat can take 6ft africans on ships by the millions by force and do it consecutively for 5 centuries would be buying into the bullshit and giving those foreigners too much credit. not saying *some* were not brought over. just a perverse exaggeration of what happened. if you agree to the so called black man/woman being indigenous to the planet how can you disagree with a large majority of us already being here? im pretty sure its alot more easier {and cheaper} to enslave an entire people on their own land than traveling thousands of miles away risking life and limb for free labor. its grown so outrageous even politicians, who are all masons and know the real history, are telling the truth. *read this*
www.rvbeypublications.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/RahmEmanuelProclamation.pdf
This man is so real
This interview is one my top 5 ANYWHERE. What he said about learning to love our oppressor is 100% true. I am Congolese and was told that Leopold II was a great man...WOW
Peace Kings and Queens. Love David Banner only recently because I stopped listening to rap/hip hop when it became unconscious and low frequency. I noticed him during these recent movements and am so thankful for his voice and presence. I'm hoping you and Sway and Heather and Cornel West and others help elevate our consciousness and allow us to evolve. Maybe we should bring the movement back? Love and light.
AN UNCONSCIOUS BEING IS PREDISPOSED TO BELIEVE AND EXCEPT IGNORANCE.-*
Real shit no debating
This brotha is on point.. i wasn't up on DB...after hearing a few of his songs.. i can dig it.
Salute
This is a great interview!!!! Being a person who lives in Memphis I can relate to what David Banner is saying. We as blacks must own and spend with our own. Also as a people we must learn to love our self and untie. There has always been a war against blacks.
I didn't disagree with one point made. Very good interview
You can tell Banner reads because he doesn't use the term 'literally' incorrectly. (+)
rfg
+sayElectronica Ya, he reads BULLSHIT.
fla
I believe Banner has the potential to be a modern day Marcus Garvey... The seven step process he describes falls inline with Garvey's thought process.
This man is spot on on many things!! Any problems in our community need to be addressed within the community first. We can't continue to look outside our community for help even when those issues originate outside our community. Much respect to David Banner and Sway for hair hm!
David is a great spokes person his voice carries a lot of power in his words and wisdom
He's not blaming all white people just white supremacy there was whites that stood up against ignorance, but the way he came at it sound racists but its not what he's not trying to make it like that.
I'm not a coward, I'm a leader, and I'm trying to organize, Wuz up
THIS means something beyond entertainment & I honor this KING for risking #'s to be a #PeacefulWarrior. #MississippiRoyalty #DavidBanner with #SWAY
Sway I'm from New York a conscious poet, thats makin his way you gonna hear about me soon, I promise you that!....but anyway, I grew up in the Rakim, KRS, Nas etc. era...and this may have been the best interview I've seen you conduct on your show.... #realtalk
Thank you David Banner between you and Killer Mike you all have spread the right type of knowledge that our community lacks and understands way to use your platform for the good of others
David Banner Is That Dude! He's Our Black Visionary...You Got To Support A Real Mfcka/Nigga/Scholar/Hip Hop Evangelist! LISTEN TO THIS PEOPLE!!Respect
Man...this interview and J.Cole's Power 105 interview are just crazy. I may not be on par with everything that was said, but it feels good to see rappers with brains.
SWAY!!!! Thank you for being that conduit for in-depth conversation. David Banner is a good student of life, its causes and effects, and same as you....he looks for a better tomorrow in the industry and in our community/world.
I want to see him take on O'Reilly. With his knowledge and charisma Banner can shut him down.
But, I'm not sure if it would be worth anymore than a spectacle rather than enlightenment to an audience who is beyond out of touch with ignorance.
Has Banner spoken with this depth on the Breakfast Club? If not, he needs to be a guest ASAP
susiq1121 Bill O'Reilly would to be too scared to have a brother like David Banner on his show. Bill O'Reilly knows that it wouldn't end well for him.
Slavery is something that happened hundreds of years ago, after the old generation dies out, racism will go down a good bit, children nowadays are learning that it's okay to be okay with every race. The problematic part is that people still let words get to them especially racial slurs, if you desensitize the meaning of that word it can't hurt you. Also on the topic of the police, police aren't just dangerous to black people they are dangerous to all people, Cops are power hungry, and some may be racially driven to do bad things but looking at that and saying it's a "whites vs Blacks" thing is ridiculous, using a small portion of the caucasian population to categorize all white people would be like me, watching African Americans loot the stores in Ferguson, and thinking all Black people are like that. We as a race not colorized, but as the Human race, have to realize that racism can end with us, and everyone needs to look in the mirror and work on themselves before making assumptions about everyone else.
For the most part I agree. But one must continue to show hate for racial slurs because they were created to label ignorance and inferiority. Therefore they arena total injustice to humanity. So we must destroy it by showing recluse toward the ideas. That includes my fellow black people. Nigga has become integrated into our language and we run around calling each other my ignorance. But I respect your opinion nice to see individuality still exists.
Slavery was 140 years ago. Thats just two 70yr old black people dieing back to back
the "powers that be" understand that racism is starting to fizzle out so they are using the media as a tool to keep whites and blacks at eachothers necks.
How? HOW is a victim of oppression worse than his oppressors? Please tell me how.
***** can you remember 150 years ago?
I've watched this 3 times. Can't get enough!
David Banner I truly love you for your energy, knowledge, words, courage.
damn i love when black man stand the fuck up lets get it
100 home boy
Thank you Sway and David Banner. This uplifted my spirit knowing that I am not alone in questioning the merits and beliefs of our society.
David please stay alive, we need you more than ever now!
Breakfast Club need this nigga
The woman sitting next to David Banner seems upset. I love Sway…one of the most real brothas on the planet. My jury is still out on Banner because I'm new to his rhetoric so I need to pay closer attention. I personally don't trust any hip hop artists…black, white, or any other race.
Lol over the perm comment?
U mad or naw
+Veronica D. Giovanni No, she is not upset. Her name is Heather B. and she's a veteran hip hopper. What you're seeing is an African American woman who's serious and thinking. This is what we look like when the camera is on our face and not our asses and we're being ourselves and not forced into caricatures and sexual objects. Heather B.'s face seems to be her just listening. However, at one point, Banner does start critiquing black women who perm their hair and calling it self-hatred and Heather B. obviously is sitting there with a perm. Finally, IF she is "feeling some kind of way", it could be that she knows something about David Banner that conflicts with what he's presenting and she's trying to keep her peace. Sisters be having that kind of inside information!
Also, during slavery we were forced to put lye in our hair if we did something bad, then blacks put lye in our hair to straighten it. Lastly, the slave master notice we wanted our hair straight so they began selling it to us. Thanks Mr. Banner much respect to you
Love what he said about "God is in us"
