I haven’t listened to The Wendy Williams Show in months, this afternoon I’m glad I broke that chain. Mississippi’s own David Banner was at the station. There to promote his new Adult Swim cartoon “That Crook’d Sipp”

He quickly got the business out of the way and went into a few other things worth reverberating through the net.

Music $$$ vs. Hollywood $$$

On thing I want to tell all entertainers and rappers. We have a tendency to be late, a tendency not to work hard, not to show up because we’re big in certain sectors. But when you transfer into that other money, you can’t be late. You can’t not show up. They don’t care nothing about the money you make.

The money we make in rap, I’m telling y’all just straight up this is not bragging… Yeah, it is bragging.. I donate my rap money to charity. That ain’t no money.

Something for Nicky Mac

I just recently broke up with my girlfriend, like six months ago.

Hurricane Katrina’s Aftermath and His Album Flopping

“My album dropped the Tuesday after Katrina. I didn’t promote my album one time when I went on TV. I actually spent all of my time talking about Katrina and raising awareness. One thing that happened that people don’t know about, New Orleans was affected by Katrina but the storm never hit New Orleans. The eye of the storm hit Mississippi and up to 16 million dollars was allocated to rebuilding the levees but the government in New orleans only used $8 million. Instead of patching the levees up, they should have rebuilt the levees..”

Where’s the Jewelry, Man? You’re Lacking

My new motto is we don’t buy chains, we buy planes.

Tearing down the Blinged Out Facade My father is recovering from brain and lung cancer. I’d like to thank everbody that sent their prayers up, because he was supposed to die three years ago. I said I was gonna say that this year because after I went through what I went through in 06’, I said I was gonna be honest with these kids. Cause they see us on TV, we ballin’ and we smiling and we laughing and they don’t think we human. They don’t think we got people dying. They dont think we got people trying to rob us and kill us. They just see what see on TV and don’t understand that we people too. So I have a tendency to let people know what’s going on in my life, so when I don’t call you back or I don’t hit you back up on Myspace..

The Attack on Hip-Hop

I want to say something, and I mean this to the day that I die, Stephen King can make horror movies, he can kill kids, he can degrade God, but they call it horror movies. Arnold Schwarzenegger can blow up the whole planet and become the governor. If that be the case, why can’t young black men talk about the things that they actually see and it be horror music?

I’m so frustrated and upset with my older leaders *cough* Jesse Jackson.

It upsets me to see them crucify their kids.

It also upsets me that our upper-echelon music people, won’t step up because they’re afraid they’re gonna lose their sponsors.

They’re crucifying young black men and they do it because they know no one is going to come to our aid.

Convict Muuuuzikkk

Why did hip-hop not stand up for Akon? There was no reason for that man’s Verizon account to be taken. It was not his responsibility to make sure that a girl was carded when he don’t own the club.

These are the things going on and we have black people who are hosting shows and who are helping to crucify young black men. Tell Oprah to bring me to her show. Bring T.I. Bring Snoop. Maybe we just don’t know better, maybe we need a hug.

Nigga, What? Nigga Who?

I admit there are some things we need to change in hip-hop, but we shouldn’t air it out in front of all of these other people. We should pull our children aside and talk to them behind doors.

We have to study trends more as black people. There were times when they called you the n-word and you didn’t have a choice, but accept it. As black people - I call it the Soul Food mentality - we have to digest that word and make it a little bit easier for us to deal with.

Now we making money off it and it’s a problem, and they been calling us that word for over 350 years.

It’s not about us degrading, because we’re only doing what we seen the slave master do.

That’s where he lost everyone in the room.

Wendy was in love with him until that entire rant (I chopped it up).

The record button was lit.

Have at it.
