Was just listening to his interview with Sway, I didn't realise Mike was a creationist

Kicks all that knowledge and ignores all of the science and facts. Wild.

That Trigger Warning show aside, it’s best to just stick with Killer Mike’s music and keep it moving. He’ll drop some gems here and there in interviews, but a lot of other times if you close your eyes you’d think you were hearing a 62 year old white woman’s talking points.

I love 3K, but Future smoked him on this

nah fam

Killer Mike really did his thing on this! Sounds like an ATL Scarface and I can't unhear it but I ain't mad cause I like them both

I been listening to Mike religiously since like 2006-07, when his 2nd album got shelved, he had just left Purple Ribbon, was lightweight beefing with Big Boi and just putting out mixtapes for the most part.

shyttt... wasn't nothing lightweight about that beef. nikkas got spit on and slapped behind it, but I'll leave it at that.

Nah future absolutely smoked him on scientists & engineers. Killer Mike's verse was the best but future made andre sound pedestrian....

I'm a huge Future Stan so I'm biased, but objectively future laced that build up to Mike's verse. This shyt randomly played for me on YT music because I don't be on Mike like that

Water under the proverbial bridge breh. I guess.

The real MVP on this album is the live bassist. You can hear the producers made the skeletal beats and but the bass really took it to the next level on most of the songs and you can tell it's the same guy.

I went ahead to read the Pitchfork review just to see if there was any merit to Killer Mike’s comments, and outside of the actual score (think it’s much better than 6.5/10, more like 8.5/10), I didn’t see anything wrong with the review. We’ve all seen Killer Mike contradict himself when it comes to both words and actions.

What made it worse was that it was a black writer. He pretty much he called the writer a c00n for criticizing his work…

Pitchfork is absolutely awful.
