Remember I mentioned in an earlier post that David Banner talked about his cartoon, the Crooked 'Sipp? I found out the cartoon is being made into a movie.
Here is orginal press on the cartoon.
Mississippi native, David Banner, debuted his Adult Swim cartoon, That Crook’d Sipp, Sunday (May 13) on the Cartoon Network. The show is set in Mississippi and focuses on the Beauregards, a white family from the 1800’s trying to integrate into today’s society. Banner plays the main character, Virgil, who is an entrepreneur and manager of a hip-hop group, the Sweat Tea Monsters. All of the show’s story lines are loosely based around Banner’s own experiences. “I have always loved Adult Swim cartoons, especially The Boondocks,” says Banner. “There are messages to be heard within the humorous storylines of series like these and this one will be no different. There are things that need to be talked about in our communities and when you’re dealing with a lot of young, black males, they’re angry. I felt that by addressing some of the issues whilst making them laugh, might get the point across more effectively.”


Here is an exerpt of an interview about his love for cartoons!

David Banner: Aw, man! First of all I’d like to say I’m a big cartoon fan. Like as gangsta as people think I am and know I am and seen me do the shit that I’ve done in the past I’ve always loved cartoons. I’m talking about from Voltron to Powerpuff Girls, all the way through. (laughs) You know what I’m saying how most people loud acting like they don’t be acting The Justice League knowing they love The Teen Titans. Nigga c’mon! I’m a cartoon fanatic homie! Straight up! So for me I just try to stay true to what I love. You know what I’m saying? And it’s easy for me. We performed, we done acting. Actually, doing a cartoon is ten times easier because all you do is get in the booth… it’s talking. You know what I’m saying? So you don’t have the pressure of the cameras, all that kind of stuff. You can be whoever the fuck you wanna be.

David Banner: I think when you’re doing cartoons you’re a little bit more free to be who you want to be because can’t nobody see you. Like, people are so into their image and what people are going to think if they see them play this part or that part. When you play cartoons and when you’re in a cartoon you just do whatever the fuck you want to. Act as silly as you want to, just be you. Whatever it is. You ain’t a gangsta all the time. You ain’t a killer all the time. The softest nigga ain’t soft all the time. You know what I’m saying? So, when you have the opportunity to really touch on all of the stuff that you’ve got inside of you, I think that helps you become a more well rounded person.
