From Killer To Bigga…
DIGITAL NEWS By Beware on September 21, 2009 at 7:45 pm
We told ‘em last week that certain Rappers Desperately Need A Name Change because they could never be marketed correctly (or taken seriously in some cases) and now ATL’s favorite nephew Killer Mike has announced to AllHipHop that he will forever be known as Mike Bigga.
“I’m going with the name Mike Bigga because I really feel like I’m bigger than what I have been in the past and I’ve managed to get legendary status from being a raw rap guy in terms of being able to come out of the shadows of the hardships I’ve had,” the entertainer said as he referenced recent tragedies that have occurred in his area.
“I’ve become my own boss in a bigger partnership with Grind Time Official and Grand Hustle now and I’m just on to bigger and better things,” Bigga continued. “And I figure what better time now, going into this new season that’s going to be coming up in January when Tip get out and let the world know I’m on to bigger and better things.”
Fair enough.
Still, Mike, you’re a smart dude. You could’ve been a little more clever than simply adding ‘Bigga.’ There’s too many Big’s and Lil’s as is. That’s just my 2¢, though. What do I know?

Biggga wants his royalites.
I’ll still call him Killer Mike.
Enh, as long as the music & the mind remain the same…
Maybe it’s also a reference to the main character in ‘Native Son’…would sorta make sense.
“Michael Luther King” was always my favorite lol.
It’s gonna be a while before I can call him that.
What happened to “Killa Kill from the Ville”?
“Enh, as long as the music & the mind remain the same…”
Word.
(What up Mike?)
Killer Kill from the Ville = Mike Bigga from the……nope.

TC: You ain’t lying; Killer needs to holla at me. lol
The change in name will not effect his lyrical skills; but it may open more business opportunities.
Name will still remain Killer Mike in my music files. Oh well, as long as he drops music.
Interesting thought about that Native Son connection. Maybe? I think it would be an apt reference.
No more Killer?
Is Bang. Bang. Bang. done as well? <–He’s talking ’bout the drums, right?
Can’t hear the voice without hearing, “Grind Time Official - Bang. Bang. Bang.”
I should be Hip-Hop Law that Rappers not have the words Killa(h) or Murda(er) in any part of their name because they will inevitably change it as their fan base grows or as they grow as an artist
Yeah, if you’re gonna do the fresh name thing then you should put it to a vote courtesy of TSS… In short, Crowd-source that thang!
Siting
Murda Mase to Ma$e
Killa Fuckin Cam to Cam’ron
Ghostface Killah to Ghostface
Tah Murdah to Cadillac Tah
Uncle Murda Uncle M (SMH & LMAO)
Murda Mil to Mil
Murda INC to The Inc
I hope he doesn’t expect me to change all my Killer Mike to Mike Bigga now?
^LMAO I didn’t even think about having to update all the tags. Fuck that shit.
If you’re looking for some leadership look for Mike Bigga…..nahhh.
Lol, like his name will matter anyway, Mike could be Erkel and I’d still be yelling BANG BANG BANG
I don’t like this move. Scarface didn’t change his name… what the fuck killa kill
“His mamma call him Clay, I’ma call him Clay.”

Bigger Mike !
Mike Bigga is Killer Mike’s alter ego. He should still keep it Killer Mike on mixtapes but his label LP’s should be Mike Bigga for marketing purposes.
Nobody should be worried…it’s still GRIND TIME RAP GANG BANG! BANG!! BANG!!!
