Summary: Not the greatest, by any stretch.
Comment: 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. 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. 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. It's simply better than most. Greatest story ever sold. Not at all.

Summary: The South may never rise again....
Comment: Let me just start by saying that the production on this album is fantastic. In truth it's probably an accurate example of things to come for the industry. 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. 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.

Summary: Classic David Banner
Comment: This CD is awesome. Get Like Me is a summer anthem. The interlude with Uncle Swac takes me back to my Creole roots. We all have one or two of those uncles in our families. BAN is funny as hell...that came from the Boondocks cartoon. This CD is really good overall, so I don't understand why a couple of reviewers gave it mixed/bad ratings. This man is from Mississippi, and he represents the best of what the Bayou has to offer. He is constantly evolving, so each CD will not sound like the last, and that's what makes him great. Listen with an open mind, and please stop judging him (and T.I., and MasterP, and Manny Fresh) by East Coast and West Coast standards. The Dirty South is a whole different animal.
