The Greatest Story Ever Told [Explicit] Reviews

Some songs are not the greatest because the are just not produced right, or have appearances that dont make too much sense. But it does have alot of high moments. Overall if you are a fan of David Banner, and like his production then you will enjoy this album, and with the price you can pick it up for on Amazon now, you can not pass this up it's a great deal, for a great story.

are the best songs on this album. Songs like Suicide Doors, with the great UGK, Get Like Me, So Long, B.A.N.(which is hilarious if you watch the cartoon boondocks), and K.O.

Like Akon on 9mm. Ok, I will admit this album is no Certified, which was a great album if you ask me. Sorry I do not look at Akon, and listen to him thinking he is going to tote a 9mm in the air, sorry just does not sound right, lol.

Bottom Line: The Greatest Story Ever Told is far from a bad album but its not the best album that David Banner can give you. Its safe to say that Certified is David Banner's best album in recent memory. Suicide Doors feat UGK and Kandi is not bad. and K.O are just plain stupid and Cadillac's on 22s part 2 is a huge mistake and we'll just leave it at that. The production is good but these repetitive commercial records are easily forgettable plus this album could use more tracks like Hold On, So Long, Free and I Get By and less songs like A Girl, Shawty Say, B.A.N., Ball With Me and Get Like Me. David Banner is somewhat of an enigma.

This album has its good joints but are outweighed by the garbage joints. B.A.N. He has a level of awareness that most rappers from the south dont seem to have but he insists on making these mindless commercial records. What ruins this album are ridiculous amounts of filler in this album. A Girl sounds like a cheap remake of Play of David Banner's last album certified. He has two tracks which are just instrumentals(Marz and Bonus Beat Drum) which are not bad also.

Hold On, So Long, I Get By(feat Carl Thomas) and Free are the type of songs that I wanted to hear more of from David Banner. 9mm feat Akon, Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg and the song Faith are cool also. Standouts: SUICIDE DOORS, HOLD ON, SO LONG, I GET BY, FAITH, 9MM, MARZ AND BONUS BEAT DRUM. Shawty Say(feat Lil Wayne), F*** You Hoes(feat Jim Jones), Get Like Me(feat Chris Brown, Yung Joc and Jim Jones), Ball With Me(feat Chamillionaire) and Fly feat Jazze Pha are all filler.

Yes, he is angry, but he has very good reason to be and his message is actually a positive one (with out being preachy). The title of the album refers to making your own story the greatest story ever told. David Banner's newest album is a solid effort. I bought the Clean version for a library and the edits are not as obnoxious as other edited albums (i.e anything that G-Unit puts out). Most of the beats are on point which is to be expected from Banner.

While much of the skits and conversation on the album talk revolution and doing things differently as a hip hop nation and a black community, the tracks really don't. Greatest story ever sold. David Banner's newest release is "better than most" hip-hop albums in circulation right now, but as a hip-hop fan that's over 30 years old, that's not saying much. It's simply better than most. Not at all. He's certainly got some club bangers in store for you, among them are "get like me" and "shorty say" (featuring Lil' Wayne) - but the truth is beyond that it's just not that entertaining and not that special.

In truth it's probably an accurate example of things to come for the industry. Let me just start by saying that the production on this album is fantastic. In the end, it's just another hypocritic LP thrown together to get air-play and not really inspire social revolution, as so many rappers claim. The sad part is that while it's called "The Greatest Story Ever Told", it's actually just like every story told from the mainstream South. On an acapella interlude named "Freedom" David Banner hits the nail on the head when he claims "George Bush is a part of a bigger problem, all America loves hate they'll never stop it", but proves that his philosophy is no better as he consistently encourages violence and hate throughout the album.
