David Banner speaks truth to the culture in this powerful clip about gratitude and responsibility. Banner points out how society — and the hip hop community — often takes without giving back, acting entitled to “free” music, events, and opportunities without showing appreciation. With passion and urgency, he stresses that creation is sacred, that “free costs too much,” and that we need to support rather than criticize. From reminding us to thank the elders who host events, to urging parents to clap for their kids, Banner makes it clear that gratitude is a lost art we must reclaim. His message isn’t just about manners — it’s about shifting the mindset of a generation, building each other up, and preserving the spirit of hip hop through respect and love.
