The album, which contains songs that according to him, would “probably get him hung”, is being led by the hit single “9 Millimeter” featuring Lil Wayne, Akon, and Snoop Dogg.
“I have a tendency to want to change music,” Banner told Billboard.com about his new music. “But I realized that people just want hits. The ladies want a ‘Play,’ I made a ‘Cadillac on 22’s,’ and I made a few ‘Like a Pimp’ records. I did a rock song that’s probably going to get me hung. Let’s just say the record was written three years ago—it’s just truthful.”
Banner will be making his return to music after a rough 2006 and will soon be hitting the road as part of the Rock The Bells Tour.
“2006 was the worst year of my life,” he added. “2007 has been the best year of my life. I’ve learned to say no and not take on everyone’s problems. My father had brain and lung cancer, and I had high blood pressure because I was working 18-hour days. You have to value the person you are.”
The Greatest Story Ever Told features contributions from Chris Brown, Jim Jones, UGK, Cool & Dre and Nitti, among others.

No1 cares about Banner..
no one cares about your opinion
I use to shit on Banner to but if u read alot of these album credits and producers he's definitely supporting these south niggaz to the full! Especially TI! Shit u mind as well say Banner gave TI his start! So i learned to like that dude!
shut the fuck up banner is sick
ya dont know, Banner is respected in the game. He be working with the big doggs in the rap game, just behind the scenes
Banner had a couple of good hits, i don't like him, but i don't hate em either, hes juss, there. skillz signing out
my advice to banner, put out another single or 2 off the album before the release date, cause am not coping unless i hear another shit from u.
Thank you and am out.
I RESPECT this dude for all the hard work he put in for Mississippi when Katrina went down...
banner is amoung the few producers/rappers that can make a record by himself. too bad he wasnt able to bring out this album sooner but i will still cop that

"But I realized that people just want hits. The ladies want a ‘Play,’ I made a ‘Cadillac on 22’s,’ and I made a few ‘Like a Pimp’ records..."
sounds like someone's feeling some pressure from their label execs.....
Titles are always reworded bruh. The Greatest Story NEVER told is just somethin that Saigon REWORDED, Mississppi aint never Jacked nobody swagger. we got our own swagg bruh. So before you start shittin off at the mouth, keep a tight ass cuz if you disrespect Banner you Disrespect the Swamps and Dont Dare Disrespect the Swamps, Cuz you just might get tossed into em and you might not be heard from again.
Yo everybody that listen to the south 90 percent of the time Banner got his hand in it! I'm from NYC and I got mad love and respect for Banner! He's a real dude! 1 of the few i really respect from the south!

who is david banner? 1 hit and got all ya talking about his ass, ya easily persuaded
aznsty01 your ignorant as fuck. banner's BEEN around. He's had mainstream success with club bangers and he's been workin hard for the south for a long time. I'd say he has more skill as a producer than an MC but he still can make a good track and if you've ever seen him perform he's fuckin nuts and more than makes up for it
that nigga banner sweet at making fight songs but besides that fuck em nigga
NIGGA SINCE WHEN IS DAVID BANNER SWEET? I DON'T KNOW WHAT YALL DETRIOT NIGGAS IS ON BUT I NIGGA CALL ME SWEET IT'S CURTAINS. BITCH ASS NIGGA
