5:06 "Mike is to the mic like peanut butter is to jam" after that you changed the beat with those long tones that gave me the chills man ... mike shinoda damn
He seriously does have genius bars. Dunno wtf linkin park was thinking when they decided to go into a different direction. I skipped school when meteora came out.
I still listen to Linkin park and the speciality of listening to them is you never get bored and secondly you never feel that you have already listened to their songs
I love the old hip hop vibes that the songs have. From the slightly crushed/compressed drums to the turntable scratches, to Shinoda's smooth flow, these songs were just phenomenally put together. Well done Mike 🤟🏻
this really is such a brilliant piece of work, even if its 4 songs in one, or doesn’t follow the structure of a ‘traditional’ song, its just such a great piece of music to listen to! thank you so so much mike for all the amazing things you’ve given us for free
Sooo good.. Mike is super multi talented, I watched the video where LP met Linkin Park and Mike is showing him the beats and you can tell how into it he gets, it's pretty adorable
I’ve been loving Mike’s new tracks lately, but this has some serious Fort Minor vibes and I LOVE IT. You never cease to amaze, Mr. Shinoda. Keep up the great work. 🙏
Brilliant new release!! You've nailed the mood in the past 2yrs with the timing of every album & this is no exception!! You've hit the ground running with this release Mike. It has flow, groove & rhyme, add to that the the lyrical genius of your truth telling and it is setting a new bar. Like everything You have done with LP, Ft Minor & then all your solo work it is a work of art musically & visually start to finish. #zigguratsEP #shinodastyle #newrelease #msnfts
This guy is too god damn talented. I dont want to exclude hard work and perseverance but god Mike Shinoda...is there anything he cant do. God bless him. The world really needs Mike. I hope fort minor comes with another album.
I've been following along with his streams and stuff throughout the pandemic and I just can't get enough. My husband and I always jam to Shinoda while doing house work. 🖤 This is so awesome Mike I love everything you create!
I love all the references. Doom, Boba Fett, Konami, CTRL C. It's so cool when artists give hints to their hobbies or interests in their songs. Good taste
@@Shreysoldier Twice - where he says "hide I'm a King like Richard Bachman", that's a different name that Stephen King wrote some books under. And "de-feet foes like Cathy Bates Misery" is a reference to a Stephen King book called Misery.
Absolutely stunning. Which is no surprise at all. Thank you Mike for continuing to use your mic and sharing it with all of us. Hope you are having a wonderful time and I hope making this was as fun as hearing it!
I’m always so blown away by everything you put out!! You are such an amazing artist and your music always touches me on such a deep level that no music has done before❤️ I love your work!!!
We love you Mike, you are the star in the dark night, thats shows us to go throught everything, you are an inspiration for everyone. I think you saved more life with your attitude and sample, then any doctor or hospital. Keep it up
5:39 the Ctrl C Ctrl V rapping part was taken from his live stream where Mike was rapping freestyling making a song for 7 months! Nice but those bars are insane! 🤟🏻🤟🏻 at least the DJ scratch in the beginning is Mike Shinoda doing turntables for the first time.
Damnit Mike, you did it again you bloody legend! No wonder you're one of my favourite MC's/Artists with bars like these. Some of the best punchlines I've heard all year. 🙌 Your style and diversity is unmatched my friend. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Another masterpiece by the one and only! I always expect the best from you, and you surpass the expectations a ten fold. Genius lyrics, insanely good track, overall perfection as per usual. Your killing it Mike! Much love from Puerto Rico!
I felt like I heard a little bit of Beastie Boys interspersed with the beat. Amazing track and flow! Never have you disappointed your fans! Much love Sir Shinoda!
Hi. How was the video?
Also, if you want to go deeper into the lyrics, check out the annotations I did at genius.com/albums/Mike-shinoda/Ziggurats
FIYAHHH 🔥
Top tier! Will there be a music video?
The Video is gr8!❤🥳🥳
Thanks dude, you are the best!
🤣🤣love it!! Those triangle buttons yo! Lol
5:06 "Mike is to the mic like peanut butter is to jam" after that you changed the beat with those long tones that gave me the chills man ... mike shinoda damn
It's like the ending of the rising tied. It's mike, it has to feel like home for us.
No pun intented.
@@toketwolove the reference. That album came out when I got stationed in Korea. It’s all I had on my Vimeo mp3 player
He seriously does have genius bars. Dunno wtf linkin park was thinking when they decided to go into a different direction. I skipped school when meteora came out.
50 percent like Linkin Park, 50 percent like Fort Minor. This is 100 percent Mike Shinoda.
Loved your comment
Basically Reanimation
@@moduleheadindependentcreat8158 This REALLY felt like something from Reanimation. Especially the percussion.
100 percent to REMEMBER THE NAME
this comment is gonna blow up one day
This guy is so original. Lyrics always fresh. No rehash!
It felt amazing to hear Mike rap again. This mixtape is truly an incredible way to end the year
It was an amazing surprise when I went on apple music and it told me there was a new Mike EP
Mike Shinoda is the rap facet of LP. And Chester Bennington was the rock! I look forward to both. 😢
@@hapwn I agree Chester was more the heavy part of LP vocal wise but Mike can sing very well also
@@davidmg56 Chester is irreplaceable!
@@hapwn I won't argue that one bit Chester is my all time favorite singer!!!
All these years and Mike still kicks ass.
Mike is a lyrical genius
El hermando Rowdy as BirdzBlack here :P
Mike is to the mic like peanut butter is to jam
Omg Is this a diss track ?
100% a lyrical genius that's why I always get ecstatic when he releases new songs with him rapping
💯
The lyrical samurai, mike shinoda....
Mike Shinoda:
best songwriter of all time,
one of the best producers of all time,
most grounded Star.
Like rats spelled backwards
@@jaycar06ify is that from Lift Off? I forget which track on Post Traumatic
@@BarNation It is 😂

@@AurisMochi exactly
Such a Reanimation - LP feel, love that you've gone back to your routes. Keep up all your work, loving every song man
Mike is one of the greatest artists of all time, can't change my mind.
Don't even wanna try because your telling the truth
Btw your pfp is it from Death Note? Just to make sure :)
@@MarshaNPILoveCanada No, it's Alucard from Hellsing Ultimate :)

Yup. He's my #1. No question.

Im so tired of the "traditional" aka braindead musical structure, so this shit is soo refreshing to me.
Mike brings us to the 90's hip hop... Such an amazing musician. I love you Mike.
Damn, I can’t believe I slept on this tune for so long. Absolutely unbelievable!
Also CAN WE ALL APPRECIATE THE FREAKING ART HE DID FOR THIS!?
That's what I was about to mention.
Sooo good.. Mike is super multi talented, I watched the video where LP met Linkin Park and Mike is showing him the beats and you can tell how into it he gets, it's pretty adorable
@@chriswestphal282 no way I love LP, where can I watch?
I was gonna say🔥😁
@@phunter1024 Just look up Jay-Z and Linkin Park meet for first time on TH-cam
Mike just don’t stop. Your lyrics speak to me on such a level I can’t even word it properly.
Next level 🙌
I’ve been loving Mike’s new tracks lately, but this has some serious Fort Minor vibes and I LOVE IT. You never cease to amaze, Mr. Shinoda. Keep up the great work. 🙏
Yeah, I dont really like Rap at all, but Fort Minor is da shit!
When you droppin new music, i forget about other artists..
You're so amazing!

All these New and Young Rappers really need to take a Page out of Mike Shinoda’s Book ! FACTS
Masterpiece! 💕 Keep up with the good work!!
Im guessing Mr. Hahn on dj... Or Mike himself... Whooaa... LEGEND ❤️❤️
Mike Shinoda, a member of a rock band, raps way better than today's rappers! Facts! ❤️🙌🔥
The G.O.A.T. 🤷♀️🖤
Need him to colab with Eminem.
@@SaulGoodman1518 Not with eminem. Colab with Run the Jewels.

Nunca vi uma pessoa com tanto talento igual você Mike💥💥
O cara é bom demais.
As a Linkin Park fan, I want to hear Mike Shinoda songs this year.
I felt like I heard a little bit of Beastie Boys interspersed with the beat. Amazing track and flow! Never have you disappointed your fans! Much love Sir Shinoda!
Brilliant, Mike. Always such a unique sound. Thanks for this!
Mike Shinoda knows how to deliver real music!
Mike seems so at home in his music and i love that for him.
I sincerely still don't understand why there are so few views...It's a masterpiece!
Unstoppable Shinoda. Great song.
Such dope graphics on this!
