West Coast rapper Lil B has finally answered back fellow hip-hop artist David Banner’s summer 2011 swag-based shots directed at him on a new record called “I Own Swag.”
Reports Sohh:
On the record, Lil B proclaims himself as a sole owner of swag.
With Valentine’s Day red roses in hand, Lil B responds to David Banner’s summer 2011 track “Swag”, a messy collection of talking points which called young rappers like B and Tyler, the Creator to task for being goofy-dancing atheists. On “I Own Swag” B sings back, You know that I’m more famous than you! and invokes Mac Dre’s “Not My Job,” where the Bay Area legend rapped, I can bust you a rap, but anything else, not my job.
Last summer, Banner’s “Swag” record reportedly took aim at West Coast artists like Lil B and Kreayshawn.
David Banner sparks a riot with his charged words on “Swag” off The Make Believe Album. The Mississippi MC/producer criticizes the new generation of hip-hop, calling out newcomers including Kreayshawn for her reported use of the N-word (she has repeatedly denied the accusations) and hip-hop collective Odd Future, who he claims “feeds evil to the streets.” “The homies is busting slugs/ The women is shaking a**/ A white girl call us ni**a and we just sit back and laugh/ We call it swag,” preaches the righteous rapper in a style reminiscent of Lil B.
And now…the video.

Am i the only one who think,d BANNER have been served,
I guess Lil b hasn’t listened to the Death of A Pop Star Album.
Lil B needs to sit his ass down while grown folks are talking. Lil B is a blip in a timeline. Banner is an institution. Lil B needs to just do him and keep it moving. Banner is a highly respected emcee. The only artist 9th Wonder has produced an ENTIRE album for was Little Brother. THAT’S a power move. When’s the last time B did any joints like that? Dude needs to stay in his (swag) lane, and let shit go.
Guess you missed those THREE albums with MURS, but I c/s the rest of your comment
It’s true. This new generation is more corrupted then any before them. Music industry has always been a lil suspect in terms of business and so forth but now it is crazy on how much selling out is going on for image and such. Music lost its sincerity and creativity. It’s not an old school or new school thing but more of a respect for the culture thing and in these days and times originality, flows, lyrics and substance are pegged as being played out. Crazy how hard everything went down hill. There are still artists out there being creative and keeping it true to the culture but they stay shadowed in the back by the copiers and biters. Very sad to see that it is cool to be wack and played out to be good.
He is still wearing those shoes…
Have a seat Lil b
