Wonderful interview packed full of truth! He says black peoples hair grows towards the sun like a plant. It represents life. My hair is a representation of God. I am speechless. So, damn proud to be a black man.
The hip hop community doesn't embrace David Banner cause they don't care for older artists but this guy is golden right now with his new mindset on the culture & one of the new leaders for us. I fuck with him
Forreal man, the world has now embraced/brainwashed hip hop towards the younger generation. Nothing totally wrong with that because the youth is the future, I'm even apart of the youth because I'm 24 but the older artists have a lot of knowledge that the youngans don't. The more to be said about this.
David Banner, it's so refreshing to listen to a brother like you from my home town. Don't get discouraged because you have tons of support. Keep mentoring our young men.
Wow, what an excellent moment in time. This is the way every African should address life. Thanks Rock for having such an honorable guest. Thanks for your message David Banner! I hope it resonates in those who are still struggling to pledge allegiance to us and our journey to freedom. #chainbreaker
Thank You Mr. Banner you have inspired me and I been waiting for that message and our people been waiting to hear. May God continue to give you the strength and guidance to touch every black child in america, you are our spring board our voice for black people. Thanks You Sir!!!! POSITIVE MESSAGE!!!!
Give thanks. I've always taken notice to Mr. Banner's energy and the fact that he was a very powerful man, even when he first came out with "Like a Pimp". So, to see his transformation has been truly beautiful and inspirational. Excellent interview.
My interperetation of the God Box has changed over the years since I heard the phrase when this album came to my consciousness. As I'm now in recovery from addiction, I've come to hear of a new concept of the God Box. When I let all the issues of the world get me down, I tend to get frustrated and turn to self destructive behaviours, whether its drugs, or thinking in a paranoid polarized and adversarial way. I've recently heard of a concept of a God Box, where you take all of these daunting world issues and moral frustrations, and put them into a box that you give it to God. Its not our responsibility to change every last problem in the world. We can only focus on our immediate surroundings and things that we have the ability to control and influence. The God Box is liberation from carrying the world on your shoulders, and the focus on living wholesomely for yourself, and doing justice by your peers and immediate surroundings.
David Banner; Dude likes to be nothing but REAL! He has turned his life around and has been a real deep dude! Unapologetically! Smart man, who likes to think, to research and to re-ajust his thinking when reset needs to be done, that's how open minded he is and real.
David Banner is AWESOME! I've listened to his music from the past back in the day when I was in the clubs but it's great to see this man evolved and his third eye open and he's risen to his Kingly mindset and deeds. I can't wait to see him in Hidden Colors 4!
Rock is one of the best interviewers I've ever seen... he doesn't make it about him at tall and it flows so well to get back to the person he's interviewing. David Banner is one of my heroes. Keep speaking up for the people!
So proud of you brother. I'm in my 40's with seven kids and yes although expensive, the experience of fatherhood to such a beautiful tribe is priceless. I've shared seemingly many similar experiences and have always been a true fan of your music. Through your invigorating words I also now say I also consider you to be a champion for our people and an admirable friend. I am certainly going to continue to follow your future endeavors and would like to thank you for your inspirational support in the plight of freedom and liberation for all of the indigenous peoples of the world. May Allah continue to bless your path and provide peace along with continued success. Brother Rock, we love you, and please keep doing what you do! You are a rock in our community and we appreciate your insight and interest in providing a positive platform for our brothers and sisters.
First let me say that I LOVE The RockNewmanShow....NOW, I knew that David Banner moved MORE into being AWAKE, and I love him for that. I don't even know if he'll even see this, but I LOVE HIM, his spirit, his mind, his strength, and ALL that the Creator Has Given him. I am VERY proud of you Brother....Remain Blessed....Saint in Georgia
Love it when my strong brothers stand up and speak truth to our people!!! We need more men and women in our community like this. Love me some David Banner!!!!!
David Banner's a dope dude. Loved jammin to Rubber Band Man. Never expected to see this side of him, but very wise and excited to see what comes of his journey moving forward.
I have alot of respect for David Banner and everyone who has a positive outlook on life. Respect this brother and support the movement. It begins from within.
I really enjoyed watching this interview, as I do most of Mr. Banner's interviews these days. I hope we all can move forward in the best ways and fight against the bad that we come across. Keep pushing forward in a positive to all.
The computer reference Banner used at around 17 mins was one of the best examples I have heard in regards to slavery and our peoples brainwashed mentality.
I feel so compelled to be connected to him on a personal level. From the first moment I laid my eyes on him years ago till now... He has always intrigued me internally and externally... I could converse with him endlessly... I want to know the soul of this captivating human being. His energy, his voice, his aura, his spirit humbles my heart and makes it skip a beat at the same time ... I am forever grateful for all that he does. I feel like I am the female version of him. (Not in such a public way though) I swear we are on the same cosmic wave lengths. I feel a strong connection to him. Not in a fatal attraction type of way😆But in a genuinely serious way...
I remember when he emerged on the scene with the song (like a pimp) if I knew where we were headed and where David would have eventually become, I would have been one of his biggest fans much Love Banner Respect!
This is what the process of healing looks like. We have to take the time to heal. Each day, every step matters. David Banner is taking those steps. I admire.
MR. DAVID BANNER THANK YOU MY BROTHER. GREAT INTERVIEW YOUVE MADE A MAJOR CONTRIBUTION PLEASE CONTINUE. OUR PEOPLE ARE ASLEEP. ROCK NEWMAN THANKS FOR HAVING HIM ON.
I have never known much about David Banner. The MAN is articulate, well versed in the matters of "Black" people, and he's passionate about his beliefs. I will be following him, I am so intrigued that he is far more than just another handsome Black man. I enjoy this conversation... both me did an excellent job!
