“Where the f#ck they was at in ’94?”

If there was way to track the stats between how many times I’ve played this song between the whip and house, I’m sure it would be leading in the most played column. Previously, I’ve already said enough about where this song stands with me, so I hit the backspace button for the two paragraphs I originally wrote. Time to let Bigga & the video continue the rest of the story.

Killer & HipHopNonStop take everybody on a trip to Adamsville for a behind the scenes look @ the shoot for “Grandma’s House.” Mike says the video will be “less bullshit jewelry and fake video girls, and more real stories,” making it sound promising. The song itself is poignant poetry, delivering a statement akin to when Nas translated the desired destiny of a drug dealer’s on the chorus of “Street Dreams.” On the track, there were multiple levels of the game conveyed, ones often omitted when other rappers try to tell the story of the corner. Where Nas said, “this is all a drug dealer wants,” Mike reminds hustlers of the headaches that come with that rise to the top.

Hopefully, this video furthers the narrative. Read the rest of this entry »

In alignment with Gotty™’s Unofficial Grind Time Official week, here is a track I feel should not be left out.

Normally, I prefer the more brash, revolutionary Killer tracks.

Nothing makes me happier than pulling up to the office next to my coworkers, blasting “Pressure” or “That’s Life” on full blast. The general discomfort as they try to walk away slow enough to listen to what Mike says next, but quick enough to act like they want no parts in it, generally make for a good start to any day.

But this track here is what I bump in my earphones as I sit at my desk, seeking inspiration and trying to find that extra iota of energy to persevere when the clock reads 2pm and I still haven’t had lunch. Knowing that Read the rest of this entry »

“It’s hot like hell in the South
It feel like we like we in the devil’s mouth in the South
So white boys trippin cause we iced out
Cool as a cucumber hoppin’ out
A ’73 Impala with the brains blowed out
Let the robbers follow, swear to God
Fuck nigga, get your brains blowed out
Your baby momma followed or your man shot down
I’m from Martin Luther King, respect it it’s holy ground
Who’d a thought a nigga out a shotgun house
Would ever drive a car with an angel that bow
I’m the shit ’cause i come from the bowels
The guts of the city, ain’t a nigga fuckin’ wit me
Young player from the South, tell stories like Biggie Read the rest of this entry »

Behind a message of putting your nose to the grindstone and self-empowerment, Mr. Killa Kil from the ‘Ville continues his independent hustle and flow with I Pledge Allegiance To The Grind II.

Off Killer Mike’s upcoming I Pledge Allegiance to the Grind II (July 8). An easily recognizable, well-placed Biggie sample and Mike’s signature street gospels and hood politics mixed with lyricism. Nobody does it better – D.O.C. Read the rest of this entry »
