Daily Inspiration: David Banner & 9th Wonder "Strange"

It seems that after years of chasing commercial success Lavelle Crump aka David Banner has come to his senses and realized he was never the artist he portrayed. Early on in his career David Banner had commercial successes with songs such as "Like a Pimp" and production credits on smash singles like T.I's "Rubberband Man". However he failed when trying to duplicate that same formula that brought those songs success in his own career.
The underground first caught wind of David Banner for his song "Caddillac on 22's". Which was a heartfelt song that had very sincere lyrics. Fans fell in love with that side of David banner, but on each subsequent release he kept pushing for those commercial hits instead of giving the people music that they could feel. As his success as a pop star rose his sales declined
With the aptly titled "Death of a Pop Star" it seems David Banner has come full circle and once again brought the people some real, good music. I was happy to see when he teamed up with 9th Wonder to make this project happen. Projects with sincere lyrics and great production like this is exactly what the game needs right now.
I was cruising the blogosphere when I found this joint on one of those blogs (the major blogs all post the same things anyway..so it really doesn't matter to name). I hope you all like it as much as i do.
