David Banner 13

In hotels, the 13th floor is usually called the 14th because of supersitition surrounding the number 13. Maybe David Banner is trying to circumvent the fate awaiting his 13th album, by naming his sixth studio album 13. If so, someone should let him know that it doesn't work that way.

According to David Banner, the work for 13 was done during its predecessor, The Greatest Story Ever Told. Of 13's sound, Banner has said, "It's different than anything anybody's ever heard. It's acid blues hip-hop. Everybody that's heard it don't know what to call it." Why not call it 13 then.
