The Greatest Story Ever Told tells… a story. It gives a lyrical
account of a series of events. Have you ever read a story that was free from variation or contradiction? As people, we are not one dimensional. Our lives are made of different experiences that invite,and often forces, us to react in different ways.
One song, or experience, may appear to contradict another…but that’s how real life is. A Spiritual Man might behave as a killer, or even a pimp, under the wrong set of circumstances. Everything we are…every experience we have… good or bad…ties together. The harmony is created when we keep breathing…when we keep growing. That’s what I did with this album.
Everything is not for everybody. I speak to and for the streets with my music. Every song, interlude, and break was strategically placed t move the listener from one chapter to the next.
And there are very few stories that only have one character. The Artists featured on my album helped keep the pages turning. That in no way distracts nor takes away from my performance or what I created.
A friend of mine always says that “words have meaning…” Some of ya’ll might want to look up the words “story”, “contradict”, and “consistent” before trying to use them in a sentence. I’m not the same David Banner who did Mississippi: The Album I’ve grown. Don’t hate so much that you can’t keep up.
