    It’s been a minute since an album has come out of Atlanta and felt like old Atlanta. Best rap/gospel album of the year. This body of work evokes the essence of trap and at the same time brings you to tears by taking you to church. Like your grandmama’s church. It’s a classic my boi, a classic.

    A love letter to Atlanta,
    a celebration of her culture.
    A love letter to Black people,
    a well deserved acknowledgement to Black men.
    I feel the same way about “Maynard Vignette.”
    Much respect, Michael.

    This is the highest level of rapping, imo. This is literally goosebump rap. When he starts naming Malcolm's wife, Dr king's wife, Mandela's wife, Jeff Fort, Larry Hoover, Tupac's Auntie, straight goosebump rap. Saying his mom had him as a teen. But she is a Queen and his wife is a Queen, and he's a king. While he's just ripping the beat. Salute Mike, thank you.

      @@chrisellis428bc the bars apparently didn’t resonate to you, which is fine. But when thoughts, art, is deep to others it’s because it aligns with the morals, ethics, etc. Or it inspires them, etc. It’s nothing to knock just bc you didn’t experience it the way someone else does.

      ​​@@chrisellis428You seem to have missed the point entirely. Killer Mike's lyrics aren't just about superficially labeling himself and his wife; they carry deeper cultural and historical significance. By referencing figures like Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, and Tupac Shakur, Killer Mike is drawing connections between his own personal narrative and the broader struggles for justice and empowerment. It's not about the novelty of the "Queen" and "King" terminology but about the context and message behind it.
      Killer Mike's use of "Queen" and "King" isn't merely about self-aggrandizement; it's rooted in a tradition of affirming black excellence and empowerment within hip-hop culture. By likening himself and his wife to royalty, he's reclaiming symbols of dignity and respect often denied to black individuals in mainstream society. Additionally, his references to historical figures and personal experiences serve to contextualize his identity within a broader narrative of resilience and resistance. In essence, his lyrics transcend mere bravado, offering a profound commentary on black identity and empowerment in America.
      Something that seems simple on the surface can have incredibly deep meaning because it often serves as a vessel for complex ideas, emotions, and experiences. In the case of Killer Mike's use of terms like "Queen" and "King," these seemingly straightforward labels carry profound historical and cultural significance within the context of black identity and empowerment. By evoking these symbols, Killer Mike taps into a rich tapestry of narratives, traditions, and struggles that resonate with his audience on multiple levels. Additionally, simplicity can be deceptive; it's often a deliberate artistic choice to convey deep concepts in a digestible and accessible manner, inviting listeners to explore layers of meaning over time. Thus, what may appear simple at first glance can unfold into a nuanced and profound exploration of the human condition.
