this and untitled made me really want to buy the album. it works even better in the context of the album. right in between "reagan" and "ghetto gospel." this is some of killer mike's best work. "wanna see me dead on a mattress, Hampton."

Was just about to make this thread bruh.

Don't Die is the reason we love hip hop, for real. How dope is that final beat change on the last verse? :deadrose:

First time listening to that cut is when I copped the album, makes it that much better. Had that sh1t on repeat all morning.

Best song of 2012 for me.

Man, that shyt is so fukkin raw. I don't really blast music when I'm driving like that but I had to pump that in the middle of downtown today. I'm not a big fan of EL-P but he killed this whole album

This, "Reagan" and "Ghetto Gospel" are the best three track run in recent history.

Back to the scene now we movin to the bedroom,
Grabbed the cop's gun, left him leakin wit a head wound
Second cop shot and the bullet hit his partner
Shot him in the leg and it hit a main arte-ry
Now the dirty cop's looking at me
Telling me he'll kill a nikka if I try to flee
shyt, I'm about to lose it so he gon' have to prove it
All cause the government hates rap music?

i got it as album of the year so far.

Killer Mike is FOCUSED and El-P makes it all cohesive.

Killer Mike = New School Ice Cube.

i said in an earlier thread that el-p/killer mike would be the closest thing we'd get to cube/bomb squad. i was left disappointed by the overall thang though, but:

Don't Die is AMERIKKAS MOST WANTED status.

Song is amazing, Killer Mike on his shyt right now.

"Real Bad Guy shyt" song was a classic from that point on.

"Tryna Knock his brain to the motherfukking ceiling" So much quotables.
