- www.vladtv.com - On this week's episode of "The Vlad Couch," insightful rapper David Banner sat with us to chop it up about social injustices in America and what's he doing to make a change that will impact the Black community.
"One of the reasons why I stopped doing hip-hop - up until just recently - was because I had an opportunity to travel internationally. And I got to see the way that America was depicting Black men here...we looked really bad, and I was a real big part of that." The activist took a hiatus from rap to pursue an acting career, but unfortunately, as director Craig Brewer put it, if you're a dark-skinned Black man over six feet tall you'll only be cast as a thug or other negative characters. "I sat in LA for a year and barely got two auditions because I said I didn't wanna play that role again," Banner recalls, telling directors "I don't want to be your n******."
David Banner also chatted with us about police brutality. He and Vlad both agreed that the rate police officers are killing Black men and children hasn't changed for decades, but social media is bringing light to it more than it ever has before. "The original job for a policeman was to catch escaped slaves and protect the property of slave-owners. And it has not changed," he detested. "The only way you're gonna stop police brutality is if those police's lives are threatened, or if something is gonna happen to their children. Or if something is gonna happen to their jobs, their money [or] their lives."
Listen to our latest podcast to hear how David Banner wants to change hip-hop, shed more light on Southern artists and how he contributes to the Black community with his Heal the Hood Foundation above.

"It's not the things you say yes to, it's the things you say no to that make you a man" - David Banner
David Banner is much needed for our young black men who are restless and leaderless.
Charmayne Booker I agree that he is a capable leader. HOWEVER, when I learned to find the leader in myself I began to find myself. we are natural leaders. everybody don't need a crown.
why has this been posted for SOOOO many months but only has almost 200,000 views. He is underrated. I LOVE YOU BROTHER.
Love hearing him speak.. So many valid points as always.
David Banner wakes people up with his words. Much respect.
Watching this gave me a new found respect for David Banner. Proud to see a black man with some sense!!
Man this 🎩 off to david banner he is sending a powerful message to a society that doesn't give a fuck I hope I've never been so ashamed of how society is nowadays his mind is on a different level blessing to you David keep sending out these messages someone will listen 🙏🏾
2019 still watching this interview. This was one of the best interviews Vlad has ever had!!!
David Banner, Lord Jamar, Star, Charlamagne and Killer Mike should be our Hip Hop Counsel! Set it up Vlad!
Agreed.
immyownpresident IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE, KRS 1,RAZKAZ AND A FEW MORE PEOPLE
immyownpresident Charlamagne!? Stop it!!!
He's suspect to me. As well as star. But he brings a different point of view I agree with sometimes.
Pilot Lyfe Group/Lyfestylez PLG See now you tryna show off lol
Perfect example of a man!!! Loved this interview!
Danielle Washington There’s no such thing as perfection. We all have flaws. You don’t know how this man conducts himself when no one’s watching
David Banner DOES have a beautiful smile! 💚
these are the kind of interviews that the media refuses to play...instead everyone is force fed negativity day in and day out. much respect, Mr.Banner
Finally! Thank u Vlad
Mea Morena you're welcome
***** Haha! You like that chocolate, huh vlad?
Tefa Nefa this is sarcasm yes????????
Mea Morena We have a silly troll in our midst people. Please ignore him.
andruy franclin if what u say about black people are true.we have to ask our selves how did this happen and who's responsible..i mean u alone killed them using terror methods to send messages to other slaves FOR SIMPLY LEARNING TO READ OR WRITE.ask yourself why are u in power today is because of the FREE labor that was used yesterday off the back of slaves.of u creating laws to specifically hinder a RACE of people.c'mon man i can go on and on.
Who dislikes stuff like this? I'm really curious behind their reasoning...
well true haters are the ones that hate on positive things ;and that's all I can say about that
+Gr8P , and racist caucasians hate this knowledge too.
A bunch of haters hit the thumbs down button
The crazy part is black people will hate this
I just don't believe anyone who claims they went door to door to give out 100$ bills
The ideal round table for black issues in hip-hop would be David Banner, Killer Mike, and Lupe Fiasco
The ideal round table would be lord jamar , killa mike,immortal technique , David banner, lupe fiasco
Tremaine Triplett The perfect around the table would be, lilwayne, nicky minaj, macklemore and justin bieber! please don't forget Young thug.
kay poly lmao you forgot rae sremmurd
+Tremaine Triplett Dont forget KRS
I get so excited when people actually use their brains I love to hear an educated black man..thank you David Banner
we need more brothers like banner!!
David banner need to be the new face of the young black man because 90% of us are all the way lost and inerrant and misguided I'd love to have a sit down with this brother
If hip hop overlooked Tetsuo and Youth, Godbox won't have a chance.
David Burner is being used by the Lord God of Israel, the interview touched my heart.
Dope interview man.
All Real Mississippi Blackmen think this way!
I Do!
Carolina too bro north and south.
662 601🚀🔥

When David Banner speaks...LISTEN!!!
David Banner... you're kinda awesome!
I gotta share this on my FB news feed!
Banner be droppin science......yep Banner 4 president
who else watched for 40 mins???? #thumbsup
David Banner told no lies. Great interview.
I know this is a late post, but I don't feel like appreciation and acknowledgement have expire dates. I really like how he talks and state the facts everyone seems to ignore or suppress. I am not from America but I see what happens Ober there and I see what happens over here. I'm from the Netherlands. I am an African Dutch person. I originally come from Cabo Verde. It's sad we don't stick together and do something about all this hatred. He opened my more. Thank you for him being able to say what he stands for 💯
Sincerely,
Nathalie Silva, just agreeing to vladtv and the effects of this business.
David Banner, I got much respect for you Bro. I see the hurt and anger you have when you speak on the things that has been inflicted on us.
Black children need to see more successful black people without compromise.
But we are loosing our values and morels in this country!
man this guy really got my attention so real
Yo Vlad!!!!! We need Banner to b a regular contributor here. Brother is madd insightful.
What he said at 12:10....I recognized the same thing after living 3 years in Asia. It's shameful. I'm glad he changed his presentation to others.
A spark of light in the darkness. Most don't want TRUTH, they want only their way.
I do not hear too many people speak with this much passion. Very inspiring, I wish every black person can hear this, so relevant.
Amen
This is a video that deserves 100,000,000,000 views, he is 100% right, his passion is unbelievable
Who are the 13 People that thumbed something this positive down?
The realist shit I've heard in a long time
Straight knowledge to the perfection!! Continue what you're doing Banner!!!
New respect for him. We all originated in Africa, let's stop the hate.
The BIG HOMIE BANNER always speaks truth.
David Banner dropping that real knowledge and truth.
I seen this, my man is the truth. Nothing has changed
Mr Banner is a great mentor to black people
God damn.. I bout dropped a tear.I fucking love that man and we need more real people to speak up...that was amazing.
Love it !!! Makes me so happy to see a brother awake and speaking truth.
The Realest Interview By Far 👏👏👏
Glad he put the full video out! will peep it all over again. I think banner needs to do more videos.

I got a chance 2 meet D.B when he visited Gary Indiana, I showed him my music cd & we chopped up vry briefly...solid guy! it's nice 2 see him vry passionate abt real topics!
realist interview ive seen by a rapper in a while.
I just want to say is that the David Banner interview was one of the best I seen online this year folks really need to check it.
This man is ALWAYS speaking truth. David Banner is a wonderful speaker.
Good call on dropping the whole interview ... this is super relevant and well needed. You can keep the Young Thug interview, we don't need it lol
Jimmy "the Greek" Snyder was the CBS sports reporter was who John Amos is referring to who made the comments about black athletes and was fired for it.
Best damn interview Vlad ever did. Please Applaud David Banner
David Banner is a gem. And so many gems are not given the recognition they deserve because they don’t fit today’s agenda. Bring the real back y’all, let’s get it right ❤️
FINALLY A FULL INTERVIEW! No need to chop interviews like this up Vlad. With those who really have something to say, just let it flow.
”We can call ourselves Gods!!!” 👏🏻🙌🔥
Great interview. Thanks for putting it out in one piece ! 💯
Food for thought 👑
Mr Banner is Always dropping truth pills, I'm here for it✊
MUCH NEEDED FOR EVERY BLACK PERSON IN AMERIKKKA AND ALIVE!!!! THANKS
David Banner you are my Hero. I like the way you did not let him make you comment about somebody opinions. That's how mess gets started.
David Banner man ✊power in knowledge love your sprit god...motivates me daily
I love this guy like family Thankyou for real!
Love is the answer. Love for ourselves. It starts there. Love for all people. Love is a choice, and the problem lies within the ones who choose not to love.
on point.....black men stand up and stop falling for anything....good interview !
like he said, ghettoes were used in Germany as TESTs.. like we have PROJECTS.. lets put these high rise here across the street from this bodega and around the corner from this Halfway House down the block from this middle school... SMH
Bullshit 80$ a month for a place white privilege makes you pay 500 for the same
Been waiting for this interview! Got tired of looking for all of the individual clips...
I Loved every minute! Go get'em Banner, I'm with you all the way!
Good stuff!! David Banner I think you need to take this on tour, different communities around this country need to hear what you are talking about, I feel the passion my brother,keep up the good work.
he's right no one ever recognized that he gassed that bet cypher but honestly snow tha product went off tha hardest on that cypher
KNOWLEDGE!!!
I never wouldve envisioned David Banner becoming this. Completely changed himself around.
Please do more interviews with David Banner!!!
I think my life would be complete to meet him!
I gave a lot of props to this brotha David Banner keep up the good work Young God, may the most high continue to bless you.
I hate most rappers today, my favorite rapper is 2pac. Big Krit is one of the few artist I've heard who deserves to be called an MC today. Yet he gets no props because he's not rapping about bitches and money.
It's better this way... 💯
Listen to a rapper named akala

What about Kendrick Lamar?
Check out Logic
Vlad keep having Banner up here!!
