Michael is a SOLID album. It’s one of those “no skips” type of projects. 🔥
Fr fr 🔥🔥
Facts!!! 💯🎶
Agreed
Solid is like it’s good but this album is better than good
I dont think SOLID is the right word.
If you grew up in Atlanta late 90’s and early 200’s, Killa Mike makes you smile. So nostalgic! Way to represent for the city.
Facts
I agree. He has that original Atlanta vibe.
213
I grew up in Alabama about hour and a half from Atlanta and I tell you Killa was so influencing to he made me read more be more in tune to myself always love to hear him speak just as much as rap
No lies spoken. Big facts Shawty frfr
'He changed my life, him and Big Boi changed my life, so no matter what I do I want them to be proud of me". -- Thats such a profound quote by Killer Mike.....it shows how humble he really is, something that's lost in today's hip hop scence
Amen to that.
The heads need more of THIS humbleness.
There are about 2-3 Guest that no matter how many times they’re on TBC I ABSOLUTELY WILL TUNE IN AND LISTEN TO THEM… KILLER MIKE IS ONE OF THEM! I will watch this 2-3 times bckz this Cali Girl loves & respects him so so very much! I could listen to him for hours, he’s so intelligent, wise, talented, respectful and full of sincere joy! God bless Michael. EVERYONE GO SUPPORT AND BUY THIS DAMN ALBULM👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Just curious - who are the other 2 guest
Dr umar 100%
i think we all dying to know the other 2
Church!
Yes Dr. Umar, Killer Mike and Donnell Rawlings
Best hip-hop album of 2023. He deserve a Grammy for this album 💿
He got it!! 🎉🎉
Killer Mike killed it on scientists and engineers. Everybody is going crazy over 3Stacks but Killer Mike did his thang
yeah he did
Killer Mike was good, very good. But that 3000 verse was something ELSE smh
Plz do not disrespect Pluto and eryn that song was a masterclass In bringing different perspectives and styles together. Future skated on that.
Only rapper to show up stacks
Song whack IMO
Killer Mike just dropped album of the Year! Give that man a Grammy, he earned it 🔥
Grammy officially WON🔥🔥👍🏾
It’s official! You called it
The entire album is extraordinary. The sequence is perfection, the weird pockets he and the features flowed in, the lyrics, and the production are flawless. It has been a while since I have heard a hip-hop album with no skips and I mean years.
Big Facts
Michael is a classic. It's not many albums that can make me cry and halfway through the album, I shed a tear. If your music can move me to be express emotions, that's how I will rate a album and this album so far (on my 2nd listen) is the best rap album of the year
Facts 💯
I agree he made an album cry. None of us are worthy of the glory. And we still get it.
Thanks for Sharing that.
I have now listened to his new album 3 times thoroughly. MICHAEL is a masterpiece. WOW. Give this man his flowers NOW. Salute Killer Mike 🫡.
This album touched my spirit in a way that I can’t even explain! It’s been on repeat since it dropped.
Never really was a fan this is why it’s always good to see these type of interviews to get a better view of someone’s mindset, I feel like he is a good motivational guy with a load of wisdom.
But how not though? He is the most solid person ever! Shit is baffling you’re just not in tune honestly
@@Rubydiamondtrucker You like hazelnut coffee she doesn’t that’s it that’s all no need to say not in tune
@@Rubydiamondtrucker this was obviously the first interview she’s ever seen of him
He’s a grifter. Dude is a conman
@@Rubydiamondtrucker may be younger and not know that's all it's always room to learn
“God stays anonymous through serendipity”🙌🏾🙌🏾
As a DJ, this is by far the best collective album I've heard in years! Killer. Mike deserves all the accolades and awards. Thank you for this album.
Killer Mike represents old Atlanta. Street with Soul this brotha has always been one of the greatest ever 💯
This album is what we needed. I cried on that mother song, losing my grandmother at 35 "I'm 37 now" I didn't even know that single was out before this interview.
I called my mom's. It's 7:38pm eastern standard time 6/16/2023
I'm going to my mom's house with my twin brother, little brother and little sister for Father's day
Mike has represented our generation and culture so masterfully. He may not get his credit but the important ones have benefitted from his GOOD DEEDS. Yall dont even know he stopped ATL from burning. Real super hero.
I just started watching this did he bring ùp Cop City on here? Are you from Atlanta?
Mane he didn't stop us from Rioting 😂😂 we fucked up Buckhead and I loved every bit of it cause we didn't destroy our community we went to dem other people and fucked their shit up
Y’all better stop being fooled by this righteous thugs in a suit🤷🏽♀️ I knew knew eventually he would leave his wife.. these type of dudes so full of it
Big Facts💯💯💯
@@darriell Be careful out there, whats crazy is I am really watching Charleston White right now. He said he never did a black person dirty just them folks. Stay safe yo.
As a grown man to open up about his whole life through music and then give the footnotes through this interview.. Gives this album a whole nother appreciation... True Brilliance!
That Andre 3000 verse he got 🔥🔥🔥
I WAS COMING JUST TO SAY THIS....
Man! 🤯
Verse overated stop it. Dre can fart on a record, fans will say 5mic verse and I love 3k
Killer Mike verse on there wasn't bad either..he definitely ain't get smoked
I’m happy for whatever I can get from 3 stacks, and it’s a blessing when he steps outside. It seems like this verse, and the one he did for Goodie Mobb’s last project was a bit more just poetry and flow, and he didn’t really go ham like we all wish he would. Just gotta manage our expectations and remember that he doesn’t work for us. He shares his art when he wants to, and I feel grateful to have it.
I remember rehearsing his verse from The Whole World when I was 13 years old and living in Jamaica; it's good to see him doing well 21 years later.
his verse is my favorite in that song
Purchased the album before I went to bed….Michael will be in constant rotation. ‘Preciate you Killer Mike💪🏾
Hello my fellow Capricorn. Lol. I am purchasing it TODAY!! Can’t wait to listen.
Don't start with "Scientists and Engineers" with Andre 300. It's too good and is a distraction from the rest of the album.
This might be the best interview of the year. Mike is so engaging and fun to listen to. Can't wait to hear the album
Wow! Phenomenal! I always stop and listen when I see a Killer Mike interview! 💯About to listen now!
How did you type Wow! Phenomenal before listening,,TF makes no sense!
@@willj8814 😂
Can’t be in my top 5 of all time without a classic album. Congrats mike for making my top 5 with this one. You can hear the quality and hard work. Grammy worthy for sure. I’ll be watching! It was worth the long wait!
🧢🧢🧢🧢
Dude is just so intelligent. Love this man, right here!! And Killer Mike? WE NEED MORE!!!!
Killer Mike is nothing short of amazing. I’ve been a fan ever since The Whole World . This album is phenomenal and amazing. No skips throughout this project. Thank you.
Killer Mike SNNNAAAPPP ON THE WHOLE DAMN ALBUM!!! REAL RAP STILL EXISTS!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 THANK YOU!!
Being from Atlanta, this is so inspirational to see. We need a killer mike statue right downtown. Please continue to give this man his flowers
This man never disappoints. Motivating AF. The passion he has and the emotions that come up when he speaks of this project makes me excited to listen. Fabo, sleepy brown, Andre 3k yea this gon be a good one. I’m bout to study this one.
This album is the true definition of just hit different…no skip, this is one of those moments where you can say no comparison ❤💪🏾
Im bout to buy my first album of 2023.....Thanks Killer Mike
No cap. The new album just played randomly after some UK Afrobeats while I was lifting weights. NO WORD OF LIE!! I gave up on US hip hop for the most part but this album speaks to my life and journey like it was written for me about me!! Inspired me to keep moving for more! It’s taught me that where I am in life now is normal and there’s prolly a million other men like me feeling the way I feel about life and going through the same motions! Paired with this in depth insight into the album and his process? It makes so much sense!
Thank you Killer Mike! Made me feel like a kid falling in love with rap again! But spoke to me like a man would council another man through trials and tribulations! Much love from New Zealand AOTEAROA
F afrobeats
My mother died when I was 7. Her mother raised me and passed away when I was 27. You don't ever get over the passing of your mother, you just learn to cope. Listening to MOTHERLESS, "Like a hole in my heart (Pray for me), and I wanna call the Lord
But I don't know where to start..."
Man, Motherless had me missing my mama like she passed yesterday. I suppressed a lot of those emotions, not actually dealing with them. That song sounded like I felt word for word. And like you said we never get over it, just learn to deal with it. Respect, bro!!!🫡
@E. Jones I'm sorry for your loss bro. Peace and love.
@@ricanking524 Thanks bro! Same to you too!!!🫡💪🏿
For the newer generation this is what a “Rap Legend” looks and sound like 💯
This album is oh so awesome!!! This hits me like Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers hit me!!! So personal and something I can relate to.
Exactly!!! it's the down south version of Morale/Steppers...
Mike said kill your masters! this man is a genius. Album is deep, Motherless almost had me in tears for him... chills on every track
This album is definitely 5 Mics
🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙
Straight 🔥🔥
I couldn't hold back the tears when I listened to his song Motherless. It will pierce your soul!! Well done Mike, Well done.
Bro got a classic on his hands no cap 🧢 He definitely in the running for album of the year and he definitely need to be in the Grammy convo. Timeless album with no skips
Killer Mike stamped his self with making the best rap album of all time 💯 No Skips At All.. every word is pure and grown. A rappers rapper 💯
Such a good album! Can’t wait to play it again. Killer Mike is seriously a solid dude.
I'm going right from this interview to the album 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
It’s 🔥
Definitely worth a listen!
Yessss!!!!! 🔥
Me and my husband listened to this album together and immediately felt uplifted. I felt like it was speaking to my inner self. I hope he wins.the awards that he wants. I hope it changes people for the better.
Michael is a legend. Atlanta has truly produced some gems. My goodness. And the part about his momma and grand momma! Sheesh! I had to hold back tears at the job.
I stopped this interview rolled up and and listened to the album. Killer Mike damn man so many emotions I smiled, cried, I felt proud and inspired. Every song hit so fckn hard. Micheal is a Classic..Salute to 3stacks,2 chainz, 6black, Blxst, Ty Dolla, Fabo, CeeLo, future and everyone else who participated everybody went crazy…The Beats and production out of this world 🤯❤Salute 🫡
You cried …. Soft as hell
@@joshuaj932 yea I cried bih boy..get in touch with your emotions that way you wont waste your time commenting on ppl shit that don’t know you lame.
@@joshuaj932what will make you laugh can one day make you cry, never laugh at another man’s pain if you never walked a mile in his shoes. Keep on living, you’ll understand later
3 times through the album and its definitely a all time classic on everything!!!
Definitely a listening experience . It’s an album your soul needs and you don’t even know💫♥️
Mike is one of the realest I love him man. He a legend. The fact he look up to dre as much as us hip hop heads is brilliant 🫶🏼🙌🏼
Just wanna say this man’s smile is infectious and kept me wanting to watch this interview. I could have had this on mute and still enjoyed watching his joy. Makes me realize I’m not used to seeing black men smile. Much love to our black men 🖤
Protect this man at ALL costs!!! Killer Mike is a man of the people and that album is a work of art! MASTERPIECE!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My grandma raised, she passed away 2010 from blood infection during dialysis. I saw here health deteriorate in front of my eyes. Here physician but her on life support for 2day days. They gave our family time to see her before she transitioned. But they day I got the call she was life support it was raining. I remember when I was younger, she would open the front door of our house and we would sit and look at the rain. I would ask her why it’s raining she would say”somebody just went home.” But the day grandma left it rained for 3days.
It’s been almost 14 years since grandma transitioned and I’m still hurting. I still can’t say the words he had courage to say in “Motherless.”
I just finished the album. Easily the best project I’ve heard all year. No skips. Flawless work.
What’s sad is I always watch Killer Mike’s interviews but have never listened to his music. I gave this album a chance and listened 3 times in a row. This is ART. Shame it’s not getting more press with all the microwave music we’ve been getting this year.
Killer Mike from the BOTTOM OF MY HEART THANK YOU BROTHER
This album's special! Goosebumps listening to him go in detail on it!🔥
Album of the next decade. It is a phenomenal body of work
The new Album is so dope. I'm on my 3rd run thru it! No skips! Str8 fire and truth! Production is perfect! I love it
Whole Album 🔥🔥🔥 Down by law, shed tears, motherless, and slummer really special songs.
I love to hear a story from a rap album. Thank you Killer Mike.
This new album is incredible. Adult Contemporary Southern HipHop Masterpiece
Killer Mike Man I am indeed a fan. Man the speech about mothers bro you are not lying. Men need their mothers. Respect to you my Brother
Being born and raised in Atlanta it kind of amazes me reading these comments. Killer Mike has been that!
Michael is speaking the truth. Thank you for sharing your life stories through music 💞
We better make this go No. 1. Black ppl suppport this man
Fact.
I just stopped this interview and listened to 3 songs. I’m sold. This is the best rap album I’ve heard in YEARS. I can’t even remember the last time a rap album made me feel this way. Thank God real rap isn’t dead!! 🔥🔥🔥
I absolutely love listening to Killer Mike speak. He needs to write a book or do a podcast.
At 5:30 He said, "a lot of times, the devil is in details." DUDE'S PREACHING!!!
wish we got another season of his netflix show...it was a really dope concept. Gotta peep the new album today. The single wasn't bad. Glad he dropping solo again...I mess with Run the Jewels, but we were lacking some solo Mike material.
So many amazing songs on this new album Slummer, Motherless, Run, Don’t Let the Devil and so many others. Killer Mike makes music for thinking, pondering and to make you analyzing yourself
Pro Tip. Use the album as a soundtrack for the interview. Chefs kiss 💋
Thank you Killer Mike. Stop allowing validation to be our all and all. That’s their all and all. We will never be apart of their system, that’s why we make our own. Happy 50th Anniversary HipHop!
I love when KILLER MIKE comes with the knowledge for our people❤❤❤❤
Listening to the album now, I’m on ‘Shed Tears’, and God, whatever you are doing in Michael’s life to at least have him sampling gospel songs for the vain reason of making a hot album bring forward the greater good you have for him in his life, and in the lives of his listeners. 🙏🏾
Did you even listen to the words of the song before you decided he used it for a vain purpose? This reads as if you're passing judgment,in the form of a prayer, when really the msg of the songs definitely speaks to real issues that are perpetuating generational curses, and he ties it up by referring you back to God for the answer.
@@jarjarbinx1986 keywords: “bring forward the greater good…for his life, and in the lives of his listeners”…just like you, and me. 🙏🏾
Theirs VERY FEW albums or songs that can provoke emotions out of me but “shed tears” got it out me on the first listen
I stopped halfway thru the interview to listen to the album front to back and yes, it is that good. Salute Killer Mike
"God stays anonymous through serendipity". Lawd we thank ya for Killer Mike, and his wife Shana!
I tune into every interview Killer Mike does. He always drops gems. 💎
Listen, I saw this man's documentary on Netflix or his series I should say; blown away! He's intelligent he's hilarious. He's incredibly talented. Quite frankly I'm a big fan.
Always been a fan!!!! Even more of one, hearing the story of his mom and grandma!! Losing both of mine in the last year and a half has been the hardest thing to deal with in life
Just to see someone so invested in the creation of their album and excited about the release so people finally get to hear it, is amazing to see in a hip-hop artist, in any artist really, and it’s really inspiring and motivating and gives me hope for future artists that they watch this interview and try to duplicate his enthusiasm for his work and getting better and just hip-hop culture in general…man great interview…can’t wait to sit down for an hour and listen to this album 💯🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼!!!!
Thank you for this one. This is one of the best projects of this genre. If you love Hip Hop it’s required listening. Take some time. Ride out. Listen front to back.
This might be the greatest promotional interview I’ve ever seen
"Discipline brings Joy ❤ and Joy Brings Discipline" Gem 💎
I've always been a fan of Killer Mike as a rapper. And more a fan of him as a person lately but hearing the snippets of this album so far has me thinking this is a MASTERPIECE and I just heard snippets. I definitely will be listening to the whole experience as soon as I can. This will be on repeat for a looong while! Much respect and much blessing Mike! I appreciate who you and what you do more then you can ever know. Peace and Blessing Brother!
Lost my mom and grandmother and Great grandmother when I was a teenager around 14 that song motherless is one of my favorite songs of all times next to dear momma idk how many times yesterday I played that song and the video is sooo powerful but the whole album is 🔥
Wow, tears, Killer Mike...your reflection of your mother was everything. Thank you. It touched me in a deep place.
Really glad to see Killer Mike interviews. Listening to the album and the album is so dope not a bad song at all.
That album speaks to the world right now... Killer Mike never lost a step....
I know Big Boi, Rico Wade, and the Attic crew fam proud that Killer Mike and Janelle Monae got solid projects dropping on the same frequency
Around real people, vulnerability is very appreciated. The redemptive story and growth as a human being is happening in our community as Black men. Salute for this interview, to peel back layers. Shared in service for today’s and future generations impacted by tumultuous backgrounds: by default due to the circumstances of our upbringing, shaped by world conditions pre-existing before our birth (sadly systematic reinforced for a specific end to the detriment of many Black men and women, to include many community segments held by poverty, not engaged/supported to elevate upward in life and society).
Its always a treat when Michael shows up✊🏽💯 Much love Bro.. Motivation, inspiration and education at its finest 🙌🏽💯
Morning! Thanks for sharing this conversation with Killer Mike, his-story is inspirational and proves what hard work, believing in yourself will pay off big time. Killer Mike's reference to King Solomon who wrote most of Proverbs is spot on.
I Like Killer Mike. He wants to be on top of the Rap Game. He’s Cutting Ass & Taking Names in 2023. I got Tickets last month for his concert in Charleston SC next month. BOYYEEE!!! I. CAN’T. WAIT.
This album about to sweep at the Grammys, its beautiful and deep and soulful and melodic and raw af. Incredible work of art that passes up the genre of music and could be studied as poetry, as the lyrics are magnificent. Killer Mike made something extraordinary here that will stand the test of time. Cant even listen to radio rap after you listen to this, it just sounds flat and plastic in comparison🤷🏽♀️
Well done Killer Mike🏆🥇👏🏽🗣💯
That Album show Killer Mike gifts lyrical ability and humbleness at the same time almost a Gospel Album (without the religious views) lol
Man I really appreciate this interview and the energy in the room. This was 🔥
I love a Killer Miker interview ❤
Sadly, he fell off. We listen to A-REECE nowadays.
😎😎😎😎
@@ReeceCentre who’s that?

Mannn Shout 2 Killa Mike...this Man has been around 4 So Long...& He's only getting Better..
I look forward 2 hearing the Album .💪💯
So I paused to start the Album..
Down By Law already going into the Morning Drive for Work! Great Work as Usual . CUBE ,PAC,FACE,8Ball & Mike! All I Need!
I know kin folk and killer mike is correct. My homeboys and I moved to Atlanta and opened up a rim shop on edgewood. We met kin folk, took him in and gave him a job. Kin folk told us how he got hooked on Crack. But overall he looked out for us and was really good people. Shout out to kin folk. Solid dude. Every time I go to the A I look for kin folk between edgewood and auburn.
