David Banner's about to set off a culture clash in his neighborhood.

The Dirty South rapper has inked a deal to star in his own animated show for the Cartoon Network. While he's still keeping mum on some of the details (like the show's title), Banner did leak a little bit of info about the project-in-the-works backstage at the 2005 BET Awards (see "Destiny's Child Give Lap Dances, Fugees End Feud At BET Awards"). "I can't tell y'all the name of [the cartoon] yet, but it's going to be about an older white family in Mississippi whose mind frame is still caught in the 1800s," Banner said. "Then along comes me, and then, wow!" Well, he's no Mr. Rogers — and with the upcoming project slated to air during the channel's Adult Swim block (11 p.m.-6 a.m., Saturday-Thursday), you can expect the rapper to bring some, ahem, entertaining content for late-night tube-watchers. "It's fun because we'll be able to do a couple of extra things," he hinted. Banner is also counting the days until his new LP, Certified, drops in stores August 23. The disc was originally supposed to hit shelves on July 19, but the rapper insists his final product will be worth the wait.
