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.
As a 52 year old Brother from NY i feel like I’ve been missing out on this Talented Brother for a while! He’s a God at his craft! He definitely deserves a Grammy! Peace and Blessings for Him, 🫡 Salute!
No man all rap is real rap you can have preferences but to say other stuff is "not real rap" is very lame and old. This song is amazing but so is Carti, John Cena, Westside Gunn, Famous Dex, Death Grips, Jid, Elp, Nav, Nas, billy woods, JELEEL!, JPEGMAFIA, redveil, Drake, Smiley etc.

Let’s not diminish Cee-Lo’s hard-ass vocals on this masterpiece. Killer knew exactly who/what & where the vision of this track was going.. & it’s hard af !! 🔥🔥🔥☝️🫡
Definitely touched my whole soul spoke on my whole life from prison and drugs and homelessness with my wife and kids the SONG SHED TEARS HAD ME IN Tears the whole way thru welcome back sir I'm 30 and grew up on ur music Texas hears you loud and clear🔥💨💯‼️⛽💪🏿🤘🏿
When I first heard the albums I said hand down the best album classic Atlanta Georgia Old school dungeon family soul food music vibes ...I am not surprised he swept the Grammys he deserves every one of them and more..

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR DIVE.THE HEART ❤️ OF The ATL..MY TAURUS ♉ THE BULL BROTHER BROUGHT IT HOME.. much LOVE& CONGRATS 🎉👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉
Mike is the only MC I get chills from like I do Classical or Choir music. Also as someone who was 15 when Soul Food dropped, I LOVE hearing CeeLo sing. A Serenity prayer indeed. ♥
Mike does it again, man! This track's more than just beats and rhymes it's a whole journey through the streets and the soul. Ladies and gentlemen, this ain't just music, it's life painted in verses, speaking right to the soul. Mad respect for how Mike lays down bars that tell the raw truth and keeps it 100.
I remember hearing him on The Whole World with Outkast and I knew this kid was special. This album should get all the awards and hopefully when RTJ5 comes out, that’ll get some love too!
Every song on Michael deserves a music video fr 🔥 album of the year for me by far!! Love to see you winning EDIT: I really want to see a vid for Shed Tears

I’m a say this Bcus this is my opinion. This Killer Mike Album is album of the year. Hands down. This album helped me realize why I fell in love with Hip Hop in the first place
I cry tears of joy every time I listen to this album. Killer Mike has been one of my favorite rappers since the Purple Ribbon days. It's so much feeling in each track that you can't help but love it. Thank you Killer Mike!

I'm so full of pride, right now, 😁. Very uplifting just what we need, thank you. Shay and Christina I see ya'll, Gorgeous Queens
I attribute this man to helping me get off painkillers...through God and Cannabis. Killer Mike, you helped save my life. Kept me motivated and all I listened to going through withdrawals. 🙏🔥
Hey man the music might’ve helped a lot but what you gotta realize is YOU DID IT!!! Give God the credit first and foremost and then thank yourself! It ain’t easy at all bro, congratulations to you!!!
@@FLINTmitten810 oh yea I pat myself on the back all the time. But of course thank God first.

I attribute this man to helping me get off painkillers...through God and Cannabis. Killer Mike, you helped save my life. Kept me motivated and all I listened to going through withdrawals. 🙏🔥
Hey man the music might’ve helped a lot but what you gotta realize is YOU DID IT!!! Give God the credit first and foremost and then thank yourself! It ain’t easy at all bro, congratulations to you!!!
@@FLINTmitten810 oh yea I pat myself on the back all the time. But of course thank God first. It was when I was going through withdrawals 6 years ago when I discovered RTJ and started digging into both their music catalogs...just binge listens to their albums for 2 weeks straight. Lol.
