If you hadn’t already realized, the “Like A Pimp” rapper, producer, actor, activist and Mississippi native has been on a new mission in life. As he cranks up the heat on his messages it looks like a lot of people can’t take the temperature…check the epic tweets of David Banner On How Men Respond to How Women Present Themselves, questioning why many are surprised about their own mixed messages!
Some call it #realtalk, some call it conscious, some call it bullsh*t—but you can’t deny the power behind the words of David Banner On How Men Respond to How Women Present Themselves. Vibe reports he took to his Twitter account earlier this afternoon to drop some serious bombs. The soulful and articulate artist let it be known he’s not here for your opinion of him, going ALL THE WAY IN via commentary on lifestyles and relationships with gems such as:
“If you cater to the savage qualities of a man why are you surprised that he continues to be savage. That is how you got him.”
…#preach. What might be making David Banner On How Men Respond to How Women Present Themselves too spicy for some beyond choice of words, delivery and simplicity could be the fact it’s aimed at women from an intelligent, successful man who once upon a time was drowning in THOTS. While it might seem damning to someone who flat out disagrees or even those who’ve accepted delusion, each tweet offers a mirror to look into if not shot glass after shot glass of sobering reality. However random, his comments address much of the microwave society and the ‘need to be known’ we’ve all been numbed to. Men and women have embraced if not come to expect certain lifestyles, body types, and attitudes about ourselves and each other that usually don’t add up to positive or healthy.
“If you want a man that respects the way you think, then show more mind than ass.”
Hip Hop and pop culture have all but trademarked the various standards of the “bad b*tch”—who shares a spotlight with a “type” of successful man of industry—via athletes, rappers, business men and the like. With the onslaught of images and expectations in our eyes and social media being the place for both the daily escape and the “alternate identity” to thrive, it’s not surprising many are upset at David Banner On How Men Respond to How Women Present Themselves.
While we see celebrities living their good looking lives, and while casual hashtags like #Ebony float around, and as we expect people to “do it for the Vine” or be “frontin’ on IG” day in and day out, we also expect bitter truth a lot less and usually muster up a side-eye for its messengers… “unless it comes with an 808, a melody and some hoes” as Kendrick once said. Is David Banner speaking on some things or is it a #ByeFelicia? Would you feel the same if your favorite artist, athlete or otherwise said it?
