Grammy award winning Rapper/Producer David Banner was the keynote speaker at our One Hood Media Academy Opening Ceremony in Pittsburgh last week. During Q and A Amil Cook, educator and founding member of #HipHopEd (a twitter conversation that takes place every Tuesday at 9pm) asked David Banner about his 2M1 movement, and the goal of his latest album “Sex, Drugs, and Video Games.” David Banner proceeds to breakdown the need to control our own images and how we really feel about Black People.
