“You were born to be Kings and Queens!” ~ David Banner
When David Banner does a pop-up shop, it’s actually a pretty cool event for the whole family. While walking into Birmingham’s “The Shoe Clinic” today, I hear a familiar voice creating me as I get ready to enter the door. To my surprise, it was legendary rapper, David Banner. Banner felt at home with his fans and had no problems celebrating his wisdom with the future generation.
Banner’s fanbase ranged from a child around 8 years old to his grandmother who recited the lyrics to Banner’s music as she walked out the door. While fans were getting a sneak peak of his latest project, Banner surprised fans by walking amongst the crowd and doing live videos via his social media page.
The last time David Banner came to Birmingham, I remembered a young man saying that Banner should support black businesses. Banner made it publicly known today for his critics that most of the products and images for his new album were completed using black owned business. Banner shared that he didn’t want to just “walk the walk” without “talking the talk!”
Banner further explained the desire to black people having a flag that meant something to them and was a symbol of their true heritage. While discussing the flag, Banner drew criticism with his statement regarding respecting the rights of white people to celebrate the confederate flag. Despite his criticism, his comment truly made the connection that all people deserve to have their heritage respected. If you get a chance to catch his pop-up shop, definitely attend. It’s truly not like your typical autograph signing.
