Killer Mike x El-P on ‘The Combat Jack Show’ (Video)
May 10, 2013
Killer Mike & El-P have formed a brand new group that they call “Run The Jewels”. I love that name for a rap group. Check out part one of their appearance on Complex TV’s program ‘The Combat Jack Show’ above.
In Episode 2 of ‘The Combat Jack Show’ – Mike and El-P below they speak on the state of Rap Radio, on what a DJ is supposed to be, and more.
‘DJs know music more than everybody. This is what they do. That is the exact job definition of a DJ; is to know music… trust who you hire… don’t tell them they can’t play a record…That’s not what it’s about…Records… especially Hip-Hop records… have to blow up organically.’
-Â El-P
Great viewing. Check out Episode’s 2 & 3 after the jump.

Killer Mike Speaks On His Critically Acclaimed ‘R.A.P.’ Album, Reality TV, Black Radio, Gun Laws, & More (Video)
March 23, 2013
I always enjoy listening & watching interviews with Killer Mike because you know he’s going to always speak the truth. He’s not the most politically correct hip hop artist today, but he’s clearly the most politically aware within our generation. Both of those aspects of who he is what makes him special as an artist. Check out this interview from when Killer Mike made his way to NYC to speak on a variety of topics & keeps it all the way “100” as they say…

Killer Mike – “Reagan” (Video)
October 5, 2012
RAWNESS! Look at this Killer Mike video for “Reagan.” The animation is basic, but the message is powerful! Plus, the way they looped in Former U.S. President Ronald Reagan speech clips from the time of the Iran-Contra scandal. And man the lyrics… You know Killer Kill from Adamsville pulls NO punches calling out the ex-President. Note the chant at the end: 6…6…6… Ronald (6 letters) Wilson (6 letters) Reagan (6 letters)… as the demon blasts off… wowwww.

Killer Mike – “Untitled” feat. Scar (Video)
August 23, 2012
Atlanta emcee Killer Mike gets an assist from Scar to deliver “Untitled” – another banger off the six-track EP “R.A.P. Music.” Here is the official music video for this joint, a dark piece directed by Benjamin Dickinson (dark enough that we thought it prudent to put a Not Safe For Work stamp on it, just in case). You can cop the “R.A.P. Music” EP via a link in an earlier post here.

Killer Mike – “Big Beast” feat. T.I., Bun B, & El-P (Short Film) [NSFW]
June 8, 2012
Killa Kill from Adamsville delivers a new music video for “Big Beast” which is the first official single from his collaborative album with EL-P on production called “R.A.P. Music”. Killer Mike’s new video plays out more like a short film centered around a 2012 “Zombie Apocalypse” that just doubles as a music video. This mini-movie may not be safe for work as it does contain some rather graphic images & content. In case you haven’t peeped Killer Mile’s new album entirely produced by El-P make sure you download it below from itunes.

Killer Mike – “Big Beast ” Produced by El-P
February 13, 2012
BANGER ALERT, BANGER ALERT!!! For a while it had been rumors of ATL mic wrecker Killer Mike and Philly producer of Def Jux/Company Flow fame El-P coming together and doing a project but it sounded like all hype. Well what would initially seems more like the Odd Couple than the perfect match, as the pair have completely different backgrounds musically, yet may turn out to be a possible contender for album of the year. More hip hop artists need to collaborate to keep pushing the boundaries musically, keeping the art fresh and innovative while at the same times cross mixing fan bases.
The first single from the all El-P produced album R.A.P Music ( Rebellious African People’s Music), “Big Beast” is a heater featuring an energized T.I, a always consistent Bun B, and newcomer Trouble taking turns with Killer Mike ripping this Public Enemy sampled track to shreds.Who would have ever imagined the trappers and backpackers on joints together?? Indeed 2012 is going to be crazy year. Bang this in your jeep until the speakers blow. CRUMS!!!!

Killer Mike Speaks at the Troy Davis Rally (Video)
September 21, 2011
Mike Bigga aka Killer Mike along with Big Boi were the only two prominent rap artists to make the trek to Jackson Georgia to rally for Troy Davis who was facing execution for a crime where there is a substantial lack of evidence that he had anything to do with. Here someone in the audience manages to captures Killer Mike’s words to the public in attendance. Personally I believe Killer Mike’s calling is not entirely in hip hop as an emcee, but he could very well be one of this generations great black leaders…IF he wanted to.

Killer Mike – ‘Bang 3X’ (EP)
May 8, 2011
Killer Mike dropped this 9 song EP/Mixtape BANG 3X as an appetizer before his third album in the I Pledge Allegiance To The Grind series drops on May 17th. My favorite track on this joint by far is the ‘Blind Justice’ joint produced by DJ Toomp. Personally I’m hoping Killer Mike diversified his sound a little more on the upcoming album because I’ve always felt time & time again that Killer Mike just needs the right beats. I think the joint ‘Ready, Set, Go,’ produced NO I.D. & this banging ‘Blind Justice’ joint produced by DJ Toomp is a start in the right direction. I personally feel if he can adequately round out his sound a little more he could win many more fans beyond the south. Unfortunately I believe the politics involving the hardcore fans that only want those 808s may have something to do with it.

Maurice Garland Chops It Up With Killer Mike & Big Boi (Video)
March 11, 2011
The homie Maurice Garland recently conducted an interview with Killer Mike & Big Boi in a recent video. If you aren’t familiar with Maurice Garland outside of his literary work, in person he would always be a quiet & reserved individual so seeing him in come alive hosting gigs & on camera for interviews may be shocking to some. Hahaa! Big up Maurice

January 14, 2011
Amongst all the club records, strip club records, & ‘this is for the radio’ type of records many artists seem to to be wrapped up in these days, its good so see some genuine artists talk about some real issues going on in our communities. If you’re not familiar with Oscar Grant’s murder by a transit police officer in San Francisco you need to wake up because chances are police brutality is occurring in your community as well. Killer Mike aka Mike Bigga, Strong Arm Steady, Chace Infinite & Freddie Gibbs have recorded songs to keep the focus on the young man who lost his life by a rogue police officer. Check out the video from Killer Mike below as he talks about his upcoming album PL3DGE album & being inspired about Oscar Grant’s unfortunate demise. Shouts to Maurice Garland on the visuals.

Killer Mike feat. T.I. – Ready, Set, Go (VIDEO)
January 1, 2011
I always felt like if Killer Mike gets the right type of production for his voice & style he could continuously win big. There’s been several songs I’ve heard him on that I thought were perfect examples like Juggernaut, City Of Dope, Belly Of The Beast, & several others. This track Ready, Set, Go with T.I. is no exception. Maybe Mike Bigga will make a few adjustments in his production style that Killer Mike may have overlooked in the past because this sh*t right here is a Certified Banger! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Lawrence O’Donnell Rips St. Louis County ADA For Mistake That Led To Dismissal Mike Brown’s Killer With No Charges (Video)
December 4, 2014
Incredible. Those in professions like attorney and doctor are taken at their word all the time; so much so, that we listen to their arguments; not wanting to (or knowing when) to question them. Watch Lawrence O’Donnell break down assistant district attorney Kathy Alizadeh’s reasoning before the Grand Jury in Ferguson; and how she misinformed them… and for the most part led the those on the Grand Jury down a path that would end in the full pardon of officer Darren Wilson. Such a big “mistake” Alizadeh made… hmmm… do you think it was lack of competence or lack of care?
MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell blasted St. Louis County assistant district attorney Kathy Alizadeh on Wednesday for taking weeks to tell the Grand Jury in the Darren Wilson case she made a major mistake regarding police officers’ right to use legal force. “With prosecutors like this, Darren Wilson never really needed a defense lawyer,†he said. O’Donnell said that early on in the jurors’ deliberations, Alizadeh handed them a copy of a 1979 Missouri statute saying police were “justified in the use of such physical force as he or she reasonably believes is immediately necessary to effect the arrest or prevent the escape from custody.†However, he explained, the Supreme Court found those kinds of statutes to be unconstitutional six years later.
During his “Rewrite” section last night, MSNBC Host Lawrence O’Donnell pointed a very serious error that the St. Louis Assistant DA made when preparing the Jury to hear the testimony of Officer Darren Wilson.
The Grand Jury decided that Wilson has the right to shoot even if his life is not threatened, however, they made the decision based on a 1979 statute that was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court back in 1985.
