While Mississippi rapper defended the music stating:
“If by some stroke of the pen hip-hop was silenced, the issues would still be present in our communities,” rapper/producer David Banner said in prepared statements to a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee hearing.
“Drugs, violence and the criminal element were around long before hip-hop existed.”
Hip Hop mogul Master P, real name Percy Miller, used the meeting to further renounce profanity in his lyrics, admitting, “I was honestly wrong,” about past use of derogatory words.
Though the groups disagreed on who exactly is responsible for sexist and degrading language in the genre, they collectively united in opposing government censorship as a solution.

you just call david banner a wigger? you fucking retarded fool. that nigga real.
yeah......somebody need to re-read the article
Yo this shyt STARTS at home with the parents...i got a 2 year old and he aint WATCHIN THE 9mm video or the fuckin MY LIFE by Percy!!!
He watchin Spongebob and Disney channel...or he learning shyt for he can start school at 4! IM A REAL PARENT...for what these nyggaz sayin bout HIP HOP music cuz NOBODYS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COMMUNITY BUT PARENTS WHO LET THE KIDS GROW TO BE OUT OF TOUCH!
HIP HOP 4 EVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
for real. respect for bein a good father. "parental advisory" stickers on albums aren't just for decoration. more parents need to realize that.
disney channel is whatsup for those young minds.
hell yeah, sesame street was the shit when i was a kid
Master P sold out. Fuck that nigga. Everything he owns is because of his past profanity lyrics. If you sorry then give back everything you bought since you been rapping. Maybe then ill have alil respect for him again.
2 add to that, it's funny how the media always tends to go at the rappers, who OWN nothing, which is why Nas was saying Hip-Hop is dead. The people who DO own everything, are ALL WHITE! We all know this, but NOBODY goes at the label heads, the production companies, the distribution companies, the CEOs, the CFOs....
people target the RAPPERS! wow......
.
Giving back everything Master P owns is NOT realistic. In that case White people should give Blacks back everything also: And that WON'T HAPPEN.
Cum'on Charismatic are you serious? Master is the CEO of his company, he has a clothing line ( its lame ass hell tho ), and he owns over 20 Popeyes Chickens. Dude could say he da real King of Hustle. And to Popatop, P sold 75million records at $7.50 a unit if he don't wanna curse anymore he earned that right. I watched the show P nerver said other rappers should change their lyrics like he did what he actually said is that rappers should be held responsible for what they say.
PREACH! SUPER CO SIGN!!!!!
At least donate half of your prophet to less fortunate since ya sorry!
HE AINT TOO SORRY...too many years PLUS its just REALITY MUSIC!!
"You wanna kiss the glove listenning to good american music, but they dont want, they want that BOUT IT BOUT IT SHYT!...Fuck the polititians the media and the government...the fuckin world was built on corruption"

Why would he give back his money? He said he was sorry if his music had a negitive affect or affended anyone. He also said if you can't get in the car with your kids and listen to your own cd that you made without turning it down or completely off then you should think about what you sayin to other peoples kids. Now you can't say that wasn't a real statement.
COSIGN ALL OF THAT

Master P you a hater, why can't you let nobody else get money. You just amd cause artist wouldn't return your calls when you were trying to make your last album.
then P had recently some cold azz artist...he too busy marketing himself to wear he cant keep shyt tight!
fuck P!
I'm startin' to feel David Banner, more and more.. the "person", NOT the rapper... He made some key comments and he went hard (maybe too hard) helpin' after Katrina...
“If by some stroke of the pen hip-hop was silenced, the issues would still be present in our communities,” ... “Drugs, violence and the criminal element were around long before hip-hop existed.”
I just wonder what Master P has in his CD changer right now....and for the record Im not mad at him because of his change....lets not second guess him...he's doing the Disney thing and his trying to do the hollywood thing with his Son's.....He may have had THE biggest hand and puttin the south on the Map...for all the scarfaces and outkast's and t.i.'s ...Master P is the one that did it from both angles off the top...Im from B-more....Live in Dc...I came home one from overseas and Master P had two songs in my top 10 countdown....that was the FIRST time the south started taking over the air waves...so he is a pioneer and im gonna respect his right to change....I mean if he wants to try and show the light he see's to other people so be it...Its not a contradiction...its just change...growing....everyone does it to a degree....
david banner rep hip hop so well, i actually saw it on C-span...he did a good job...defsounds shud post the entire vid
if hip hop goes censored..guess ah gotta play dem reggae tunez all da tyme
Yo im super proud of nyggaz like Tyler Perry and David Banner...

David Banner does makes some ok songs but WHEN ITS TIME FOR THAT HIP HOP CONTROVERSIAL SHYT...HE BRING THE REAL! i think his new album gonna be a classic this go round
damn nigga better start to defend himself
DAVID BANNER IS THE BEST RAPPER EVER IN THE HISTORY OF HIP HOP!!...MASTER P JUST NEEDS TO DIE OF OL AGE ALREADY!
MR213 I hope u blowed and meant to put best rapper in the history of his city?
WTF...can someone please explain to me how they let David Banner and Master P defend Hip-Hop for us all...why didnt niggaz recruit Lupe?? or Hov?? or Nas??...I mean Banner did make a good statement but he not as insightful as those 3. I mean if you put those together we've got the Cockran firm of Hip-Hop...bailin niggaz out everywhere...as for Master P...hes an idiot...nuff said
