"Death of a pop star" was a really good album and hiphopdx rated it 4/5 stars. But who listened to it? Who said anything about it? Nobody, and so the message was lost because no one gave a fuck about it. So with this project he was trying to push his message to more people by putting some commercial songs on the album. Why? So ignorant muthafuckas would be tricked into learning something. I do acknowledge that those filler tracks was a tough pill to swallow but I love what david banner is talking about lyrically in the other songs like Malcom X for example. The commercial artists that was on the project seemed like they were'nt on the same page with Banner though. The interludes is what plagues his mind as an artist, african american, and a man. JUST LISTEN to what he is saying on songs like "Sex,drugs and money" , "Swag Remix", "Who's That" , and especially "Malcolm X". But there are fun tracks on the album as well.
