I've just watched that 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:23.760 right from the recently, I've never thought that I would 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:29.160 see a headline that rang David Banner gets arrested.

So, 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.160 so this is what I want to say. First of all, um, 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.880 I did not get arrested over trying to get in 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:11.920 fucking club. First of all, I could buy club. Did 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:19.480 they ask for your autograph? Go to jail? So this 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:23.039 is what's crazy. First of all, I have to say 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:25.839 that what I tried not to do anymore, I tried 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:30.760 not to talk to like white media um at all 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:39.880 too much not being white and you photo and what 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.800 happened was this what happens. I gotta give TMZ a 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:44.640 shot though, because they didn't try to call me and 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.280 get my side of the story. But but but what 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:51.080 I will say is that what happened was so we 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.520 we we. First of all, I'm out with my one 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:57.080 of my best friends. He's a doctor, so it wasn't 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.400 even like I was out with my hood hum d C. 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.560 I was out with some doctors and so you know, 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:04.640 I'm trying to get weird. We're all in the club. 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:12.000 It's about six or seven his club like Asio no club. 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:17.200 So I walk up, you know, security guard do their thing. 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.240 Hold up, hold up. I fall all the way back 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.960 into the street like now, I'm good dog. If you 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:23.520 know I'm not gonna do that. You know I'm not 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.159 gonna you know, big, no motherfucker's to getting no club. 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.000 That ain't what I do. So I fall back to 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:29.960 start signed. If you go back and look at Instagram, 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.400 you see all the pictures I was out there signing autographs, 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.960 taking pictures. So then I noticed there was one white 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:39.320 person at the door and all these big black like 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.240 big black body girls. So I walked up to one 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.960 of the bodyguards and all the bounces and I was like, yo, 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.080 dog whispering in his ear, like look, homeboy, it's a 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.719 real bad look that you have all these black folks 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.680 out here spending all this money and y'all got this 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.880 white person at the door barking on him like an overseer. 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.320 Dude turns around and looks at me and basically really like, 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:06.440 you're right, I don't want to get The white person 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:12.000 came and barked on me, like what you're talking about? 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:21.840 But I said, I said enough. And the thing was, 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.560 and the thing was, I can't really go as much 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:27.960 into what happened after that point, but the thing was, 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:30.360 it was never about no club. It was about how 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:33.520 people would treat my people. And I'm like, man, I've 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:35.320 never been that kind of dude to just sit back 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:40.960 and watch foxsp right straight. So so the thing was, 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:44.600 this is what I will say. It's once the show 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:48.040 is on, it's on. Like I hadn't even felt that 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:51.280 way in like like literally like six years, I hadn't 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.760 been that angry, and I wasn't angry even about what 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.680 the white person said. The same guy that I was 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:03.680 talking to turned around after after they disrespected me, and 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:05.640 then I said what I had to say to them. 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.840 I was done. Then he turns around. It boils up 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:12.000 at me, sir. One thing I want to tell people, 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.680 regardless of what I am, whether I'm an activist, whether 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.480 we back on whatever it may end up being, I'm 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:21.320 a man before anything. And if kids don't know nothing 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.040 else but this, I tell them all the time. Before 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.040 I'm a rapper, before I'm whatever the funk it is, 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:28.880 I have to be a man first, and I have 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:32.360 to defend what I believe is my honor. And that 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:34.800 was it. The only thing that pissed me off that 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:38.640 I really wanted to talk about was black media. It's 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:42.160 like we cut and pace with these conglomerates give us 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:44.599 and we don't even take up for our folks. I 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:46.959 remember going to Ebony and Jet and they said that 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:51.760 back in the day, used to be this unknown rule 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:55.280 that we look out for a folk first, and they 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.400 didn't do that. Like all the work that we do, 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.360 you remember any by them? No, I don't. I don't 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.760 go into specifics because you're going to specifically make it petty. Right. 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:06.760 If they did it, they did it. They know who 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:15.640 they are. But one thing I say, though, is that 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.040 they said on the Ricky Smiling Show. I really respected them. 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.040 They said something that was really dope. There's like we 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:23.280 know bound they had this. Dude, ain't wait all this 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:26.199 time to go to jail now without something have gone, 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:28.520 like they had to do something to do like as 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:30.200 much ship as he do, Like we got too much 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:33.719 to lose for on that bullshit. So like for for 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.520 our folks and for the so called hip hop blogs 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:39.120 and places that say they for hip hop, but all 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:41.079 they really do is take away. They sit back and 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:45.439 wait for some petty ships that they and and that 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:48.440 ship was some fun ship. Let me ask you something 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:53.640 when when people do resport report irresponsible journalism, like, um, 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.760 why why why do you care? Though? Like you know 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.280 what I'm saying, because you know this game is fucked 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:00.719 up from the beginning and like this is not a 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:02.520 new thing. Let me tell you the only reason why 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:06.160 I care. Um, one of my home girls teachers Male 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:10.880 Magnet School and Hallom, and she called me and she 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:15.640 she said, the boys are really confused. Yeah, the children, 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.320 it was like, you know, they see you and they 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.320 watch all of your interviews and then they only heard 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:24.120 what TMZ says and they really confused. And then I 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.880 thought about it. I was like, I only care because 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:29.679 I am one of the few people man that these 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.839 kids at least consider. They may not even listen, but 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.640 they'd be like, damn, we know what Banner comes from. 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:39.600 So are Banner talking that ship? Uh? Maybe I haven 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:43.560 funk with it for a second, and it's not enough 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.719 of us yet to lose them. So like with me 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.480 not responding back, they only had with white media and 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:53.160 the click baitis told them. So I had to go 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.120 somewhere and say something and let them know it was 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:59.120 about honor, not getting in the fucking club, because honestly, 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.319 I could give a ship, ask what anybody think, but 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.079 what I always tell black folks, if I had you, 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.679 or people of culture, if I had you, I wouldn't 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:11.040 need them. If our folks put me in movies, I 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.560 wouldn't have to go fucking audition. If our folks bought record, 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:17.040 we wouldn't records. We wouldn't have to go big. And 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.400 if their mother fox could give us some kind of light. 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:22.480 I don't need them. I only care with them kids think. 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:24.760 And when she called me and said, like the kids 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.679 are confused, I like, I gotta say something all the 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:30.920 rest and I'm grown, get really get ship less. You know, 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.560 but you made a great career. But what did they 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.520 book you on? Exactly? What was the charge? Now you 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:40.040 was out there already right charges or you can't really 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:52.000 speak on now? Now we got to describe this shirt 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.679 you have on right now? My brother, what is that? 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:58.560 And and some express that looks like it's from Zimbabwe. 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:05.320 He's right, he's actually right, he got the right country. 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:14.200 And I watch your dad. I will tell you all. 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.000 I want to tell your story real quick. This this 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.319 this a real ship. A lot of people don't know. 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.400 I've been knowing nowhere for over fifteen years. I've been 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:25.280 knowing you right around ten years. Um back when I 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.080 was in the group Cricket Letters, they really had shelved 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:29.520 us because they don't know what the fund to do 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:33.880 with a group from Mississippi, especially no motherfucker wrap a penalty. 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:38.040 So Nori, that's when he had the big million dollar video. 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:43.000 He had a big thing about it and let me 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:44.959 tell you what this man said. This man went to 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.719 Neil Levine and told him because they didn't have no 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:50.439 budget for us to shoot no video. Really, what I 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.920 found out is I moved to New York homeless. Nor 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.240 knows I was homeless in New York. They shelved us, 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.840 and I told Neil Levine, I'm gonna be at Penalty 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.679 every fucking day. And I was there every morning before 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:05.360 anybody got there, sitting there waiting for the label to 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:08.160 open up. And it was this big black motherfucker waiting 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:11.000 for this little, short white guy every day. So they 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:13.200 put my out. They actually put that out there. Only ship, 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.880 like I think it was twenty thousand copies. We sold 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:20.559 seventeen thousand. And Nora loved our music so much. He 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.600 saw the South like before it had literally gotten hot. 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.240 He went up and jumping on the motherfucking seats and ship, 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.440 and he was like, y'all get him boys, twenty thousand 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:32.920 dollars out of my million dollar budget and let them 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:40.800 shoot the movie. Let me let me tell you what 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:44.679 else said. He said, Dave Bounty, you gotta go in 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.839 there and throw some ship. Don't hit the white dude, 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:52.360 but going there, don't touch him though, because he touched 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:55.280 him and and and I really appreciate him because he 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.920 didn't have to do that ship. He actually jumped on 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.360 the wrack there for free. I appreciate Youber and that, 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:05.800 and not only that, but you was producing you. Yeah, 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:17.559 you're smoking me my first check. Wait, I'm saying, but 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:21.400 I was gonna hit on this motherfucker's listen.

You knew. 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.360 Let's describe for our listeners. You know he's a legend 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:06.879 on our podcasts. It was the first time you met 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:10.880 pim C. Well this is what happened. Um, I sat 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:17.240 with his boys while he was like a pimp. No, no, no, no, 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:20.960 I just what's crazy about that. I didn't even like 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.080 to beat. The only reason why I used the beat 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:25.560 because I was bothering when with Flip. At the time, 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.520 Flip was with from Houston. Now, I was like, let me, 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:30.240 let me put him on this beat and then I'll 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:33.320 go back and change the beat. On DJ Will from 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:35.560 New Orleans heard and said, dog, if you put this out, 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:39.199 your life a change in two months. Literally. I flipped 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:41.800 it over and use that's all My life literally changing 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:45.840 two months. So what happened was bro as I started 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:47.800 writing PIMPC. Because I was like, man, this dude has 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.399 changed my life without even trying. His voice changed my 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:54.119 whole entire life. So instead of sending him like naked 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:56.399 pictures of broads and all that kind of ship, I 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:58.600 was like, yo, Kemp, don't know how to use a 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:02.520 drum machine, So took pictures of the drum machine so 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:04.960 like he could put the polaroids together, and I taught 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:06.800 him how to use the drum machine while he was 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:11.440 in right, he was locked up. It's just sounding like 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:15.600 the smartest ship I've ever heard, because he was on 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:21.240 the break out of jail. And then other ship I 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:25.200 did was was I was traveling all around the world. 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:27.359 I was like, I want to show him ship that 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:30.600 maybe he hadn't even seen, Like I'm touring, I've been 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:34.239 to every but we hadn't met. So when he got 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:36.439 out of jail, if you remember when he got out 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:38.680 of jail, he nined eight people names, and I was 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:40.440 one of the dudes, like we were right back and 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:42.320 forth and he was like manding you one of the 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.320 few people that took out their time to really talk 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.520 to me, because you remember I had done the record 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:51.439 with him on penalty before. But we remember we did 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:54.920 get crumped that was on penalty, but that was just business, 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:57.720 like I didn't really get to know him, know him. 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:02.800 Then we became friends, like literally, like like this is 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:04.600 this is one of the craziest things in my life. 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:08.080 When Pimp came to l A the weekend before he died, 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:10.760 I was in I was in the studio working because 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.119 I was living in l A at the time, and 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:15.480 Pimp was moving out there to stay in the same 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:18.520 but the same. He was over there doing right with me, 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:22.240 Me me stop. Juicy J was gonna work on this album, 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:24.639 so he was gonna move in the same building as 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:33.959 the cut. You know, you know, you know, so as 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:37.840 I can so Pimp and comment. You know, when that's 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:40.199 your homie and you're in the studio, you know, I'm 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:42.800 gonna call him back, and you know, I kept working. 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:45.480 So I called him like six times. You never picked 0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:49.199 up the phone. Um. Then I heard at the end 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:51.240 of the weekend and he had died. So then I 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:53.240 called and listen to the message and the message of 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:55.720 like better I'm in l A. X. Wait so you 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:57.600 never met him? No, no, no, no, no. This is 0:19:57.640 --> 0:20:00.280 after we was friend. This is after the we just 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:02.840 after it was friends, hard boys like bend to each 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:05.879 other like everything. By this time, this is the weekend 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:11.440 before he died, we really became friends. Um, he called 0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:14.200 and I went and listened to the to the my 0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:17.119 voicemail after he had died, and it literally said, bro, 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:19.600 come pick me up from l A X. I'm here. 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:24.120 And the craziest thing about me and Pimp is when 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:27.600 we were together, it was we were both focused. It's 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:30.200 like sharpening each other. And so I always feel like, 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:33.440 you know, maybe you know, everybody would always think maybe 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:35.320 if it if I would have picked up their phone call, 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:37.880 maybe it would have been something different. And let's let's 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:39.960 just let me let's just ask. This is probably the 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:43.560 most serious question I have asked on a Drink Chance podcast. 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:48.040 Do you think that his death was attributed to lean 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:50.439 What I'm saying, I don't want to. I don't want 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:54.320 to know because my friend did. Like people people get 0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:57.119 into you know, if this, I don't really want to know, 0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:01.440 like that, like he dead, how he died don't really 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:05.360 matter to me. It don't really know. I said that too, 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:08.320 but like you know, um, what's my man Sean Price? 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:14.359 And I'll be his first album. God bless Sean Price. 0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:15.800 You know what I mean. But I'll be wanting to 0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:17.760 know because just in case we can help some other 0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:21.000 people avoid it, you know what I mean this lifestyle 0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:23.440 sometimes but but but the thing about it is just 0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:30.400 that people we got mad serious. I'm the reason people 0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:32.399 need to know that. People need to know that because 0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:36.359 the folks that's out here sa yams and everybody is 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:38.399 saying the same thing when they come to a stap yeas, 0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:40.879 they're saying that it's the code and what's my man, 0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:45.160 Michael are Um from out in Houston. Uh, and they're saying, 0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:49.080 waj screw grew. I don't think he don't think. But 0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:53.040 you know, it's because I think I like you as 0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:55.119 an activist, a raptivist. I would like to call you, 0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:56.720 you know, if you allow me to call you that, 0:21:57.080 --> 0:21:59.320 Like you speak up for us, like when something happens 0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:01.440 in the community, whether it's rap hip hop or just 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:04.320 being black or just being poor, we expect people like 0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:06.760 you to speak up. So when we think we need 0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:09.800 to make sure when we're getting trouble, that's turned around 0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:18.159 and speaking ship like like it's basically like that I 0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:20.920 thought motherfucker was gonna gonna shut the motherfucker down. It 0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:25.960 was just like you was coming out. Did anybody ship 0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:29.400 right now? They are marching on Twitter. They they don't 0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:31.160 march in real life. But this is what I say 0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:35.840 that Instagram Like I'm like and I'm being honest, but like, 0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:38.560 at the end of the day, like, bro, we don't 0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:41.600 really know what happened. I heard several stories about what 0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:44.680 could have happened, you know, And just like they say, 0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:48.120 you know, ship with Mike died for what, Prince died 0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:51.320 for him. Both of those people had two of the 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:56.359 most amazing record deals ever, fucking Mike own and recently 0:22:56.400 --> 0:23:00.359 we're gonna make Prince all his ship out like and 0:23:00.920 --> 0:23:03.880 PIMC was one of the most outspoken motherfucker's I ever. 0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:07.119 Ship will bring me to the point. You remember when 0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:10.040 he said he said, he said, I ain't even the South, um, 0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:13.119 you know, such as such as the South. You remember 0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:15.440 that conversation he made up the radios, Yeah, I remember 0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:18.399 the conversation was that nothing craziest Well, I think the 0:23:18.480 --> 0:23:21.320 whole conversation not even about that aspect of it, but 0:23:21.920 --> 0:23:23.520 a lot of the things that he was bringing up 0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:26.119 about rap that people don't talk about. And that's what 0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:28.240 I was saying, like we want to focus on like 0:23:28.880 --> 0:23:30.560 the media is the same thing that happened to me 0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:33.200 the media throw whatever the funk they want to out 0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:36.359 about people of culture, and because they don't think we're 0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:39.080
