Death of a Popstar
David Banner
Released:
Dec 2010
Label:
eOne Music
David Banner has always straddled the line between delivering social criticism from a Dirty South perspective and indulging in country decadence. The difference with Death of a Popstar is that he jettisons the pimp talk, and when he talks about women on the lush single "Be With You," it's with sincerity and respect. On tracks like "Strange" and "Something Is Wrong," Banner sounds concerned, as if the state of black people moved him to deliver insistently political rhymes, pop markets be damned. Meanwhile, 9th Wonder lends his typical blend of deeply soulful beats, and even spits a nice rhyme for "Silly."
