David Banner Speaks On Tha Carter IV, Busta Rhymes & More

Sitting down with Complex, David revealed that he has also worked on Lil Wayne’s upcoming album (though he’s not sure if he’ll land on the final version) and their relationship, and how Bone Crusher (yeah, that same guy) helped him with concepts.

“I did about 12 [songs for Wayne]. One thing I respected about Wayne this time, Wayne didn’t allow me to go all over the place. Wayne told me, ‘Banner, this is exactly what I’m looking for. I know you want to be creative, I know you want to do this, but right now, for the stuff that I have already done on the album, this is the lane that I need.’ And I super-served that. [The lane was] just bangers. Nothing that you really have to think about. I’m talking straight, in your face bangers.”

…”I’ve been been working with Busta. The song I’ve got for Busta is—if we can get the sample cleared—going to be one of the dopest hip-hop songs in a very long time. I don’t want to say what the sample is because I don’t even want nobody to go in that direction. Nobody in hip-hop is doing this. [The sample is] somebody that’s dead, but they’re still famous and popping in young culture. The way that I did it though, I didn’t put it in the genre of music that they’re from. It’s on a hood beat and Wayne is on it.”

  2. See this the shxt I be talking about. How you gonna make an album with 9th Wonder called Death Of A Popstar, but then work with Lil Wayne on an album?? That’s just contradicting yourself.
    I’m tired of rappers who claim to stand for something real for hip hop and then do stuff that goes totally against that. Shxt like this is hurting hip hop just as as much as anything.

  13. he’s probably pulled a bob marley sample, and thinks he’s the first to do it. I’ll guarantee whatever sample he chooses, has been sampled 5-10 times before. Especially if its someone whos “hip with the kids.” Yeah banner, you’re doing some totally new with the most overused washed up piece of trash in rap.

  14. I hope Banner samples Nirvana, that’d be so sick.
