Kudos to David Banner
I meant to post this the other day but forgot. . . .
Following the trend of Fifty Cent and the G Unit's idea of giving back to the customer, David Banner has raised the bar. In his second album, 6 lucky buyers will receive "golden tickets" in their CD cases. These tickets won't be cashed in for free merchandise, a platinum medallion or even concert tickets. David wants to encourage something else. He will be offering $10,000 scholarships for the recipient or to whoever that person wants to pass it on to. David, who earned a BSE in Education from Southern University and is only a thesis away from completing his Masters Degree says that he wants to encourage us to do better. He also stated that he knows that not everyone will need the money for an undergraduate degree so the Scholarship may be used for technical/trade school or for an advanced degree. As long as the money is used to better that person's life through education, David will be happy. I want to say that this is what we need, more people who are willing to step out of the stereotypical roles and do something positive.
