The Jamie Jinx™ strikes again! I'm not sayin' that El-P is a danger to ethnic minorities, but it's very suspicious how every blk guy who aligns themselves with him ends up consumed by the ginger fire, innit? Casualties thus far include them 2 other blokes from Company Flow, Cannibal Ox (especially Vordul), the late Camu Tao, and now Killer Mike. You can bet your arse that Mr. Lif woke up this morning in a cold sweat.
So, what does the (probable) dissolution of Run The Jewels mean in the grand scheme of The Culture? Your buddies who "don't usually like rap BUT..." are gonna have to find themselves a new group to stan for, and El-P is gonna have to find himself a new blk rapper to ruin with his terrible production.
damn shame what happened to Killer Mike. Do you have any essential Killer Mike tapes or songs?
ReplyDeleteMy fave full lengths are his first album Monster and the shelved Ghetto Extrodinary album from 2005 which leaked a few years later.
ReplyDeleteFave random cuts are Snappin' & Trappin' and That's Life.
Never really understood all the love for El-P, tbh.
ReplyDeleteHated El-P ever since I wasted £15 on the Company Flow album due to all the hype.
ReplyDeleteEvery time someone brings up Run The Jewels to me I never even bother to tell them to check out Killer Mikes earlier stuff cause people that like RTJ would probably hate anything else he's ever done.

ReplyDeleteFuck El P. Fuck Run the jewels. Fuck any joyless cacophonous garbage El P inflicts on the world. I'm no civil rights lawyer but I'm sure Fantastic Damage and the RTJ CDs contravene the Geneva convention. Why do otherwise normal people keep buying his shit and attending his shows? "It's totally unbearable and unlistenable and that's what makes it deep and artistic." Just fuck off El P you talentless, humourless cunt. Fuck off and take your firstworldproblems dirges with you. Cunt.
ReplyDeleteEl-P, the wackest penis sucky-sucky.
ReplyDeleteKiller Mike sucks NRA dick and then ccries exploitation/misrepresentation when the White devil men have the audacity to...y'know, broadcast what he said. What a cunt.
ReplyDeletePre Jewelz Killer Mike was the truth. I Pledge Allegiance to the Grind Vol. 2 was a scorcher. The cut with Shawty Lo! And it sucks that RTJ took Killer Mike away from southern rap. He was a crucial voice coming out of Atlanta and it’s stupid that he ended up rapping over El-P’s agro, cross-fit-workout beats. So yea, good riddance.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to Killer Mike??
ReplyDeleteAlways thought Paystyle, and Dueces Wild was good - on That first Pledge allegiance to the grind. That's life also features on there; I remember, (probably incorrectly) it initially came out with some other joints after his beef with somebody from purp Ribbon allstars.
Anyone remember when Killer Mike was assembling the "Wu tang of the South" with Grind time Rap Gang?
Not sure if El-P putting out his rejected soundtrack to Blade Runner 2049 was damage control to divert from the Killer Mike hysteria or not, but it proves what I've always thought about him as a producer, and he's nothing more than a shitty tier Vangelis wannabe adorned by hipsters.
ReplyDeleteI'm more offended by El-P remixing a Lorde song, which is a sure sign of the 2Pacolypse.
