“Money can’t soothe your soul. I was making a lot of money but something didn’t feel right spiritually for me. I just said I wanted to do something different.”
Rattling words, and in the music industry in todays decade it's rare to have this frame of mind.
How does one impact the world from standing on couch cushions and drinking alcohol, nightly.
As I've witnessed first hand many get lost in the lime light that this industry offers. Some of the best
intended individuals will loose themselves, even get lost on their own path.
Lavell "David Banner" Crump in my opinion is greatly under appreciated for his charity efforts.
2004: Banner personally funded his own scholarship contest which rewarded five students each $10,000
2005: Banners work in the Hurricane Katrina Relief alone raised upwards of 500,000 to help the hurricane survivors.
During the length of Banners Career he has supported the following charities to name a few, Stewpot Neighborhood Children's Program, Activism efforts for Haiti Hip-Hop Caucus, RedCross, Heal the Hood Foundation, California Disabled Veteran Business Alliance
He's mindblowing, pay attention to this man. Try and keep up. Beautiful mind, with more to share with the world. Under-rated music, and efforts put aside. Applaud the man.
*clap clap* for Mr. Amazing.
I can only hope that some others, will appreciate the good merit of this man, and follow along his footsteps and make a difference aswell.
You don't have to be a Rap star to make a change in society or to help the world.
Small steps, turn into big steps.
Big steps turn into leaps.
Girl you're on the money with this 1, DB is notorious for his work outside of the industry. Good man
ReplyDeleteHE IS SOOOOOO FINE.... BUT YES I AGREE WITH YOUR BLOG
ReplyDeleteThere needs to be more men like him in Hip Hop.
ReplyDeleteAll and all the man is deeper than most would care to believe, and he's worth listening to. The grandstand for artists who wish to improve society should be greater than the stand given to those who cause it harm.
ReplyDeleteI agree w/ you Mish, thank you for another eye-opening read.
I absolutely agree he has spoke to more groups of youth than you would believe!! I love the way he confronts the politicians on their b.s. He is very under-rated & under-appreciated, a lot of people are intimidated by his presence I mean he's loud his energy is on a 1000 a lot of the time but if people take the time to listen and just follow some of his efforts THEY WOULD BE IMPRESSED!!!!!
