Stream: David Banner: "Saints Row"

Stream: David Banner: "Saints Row" Of all the video game exclusives we've heard, this David Banner song must be the best. It has all of the blatant game content you'd expect from a track named after the game it's featured in: looting, shooting and a Katrina-inspired rant against George Bush. Actually, that last one might not be a part of the game, but it's a nice gesture and actually kind of sweet.

The rest of "Saints Row" is pretty hilarious. It sounds like Outkast on meth, riding a distorted guitar riff (complete with Van Halen-style solo) and a stuttering bass drum that sounds suspiciously like the beginning of the White Stripes' "Blue Orchid". But the best part? The arbitrary invitation to, "Go on, get yo' cousin/ Bring yo' ass to Saints Row." Why thank you, Mr. Banner. I think I will.
