I was close friends with Killah Priest in the late 90s to early 2000s, I considered him at the time one of my best friends, we used to build in the Holy Bible and would meet up in mid Manhattan on Friday and Saturday nights at about 10 pm and go to a local McDonald's or white castles and build with 5 or 6 people and by 12 o'clock the next day early afternoon, there might have been 20 or 30 people who stopped by or heard our conversation and would sit down and join the conversation. This brother had no ego, was extremely meek and humble, yet Brooklyn bred tough at the same time. Was extremely gracious to people when they recognized him. Treated people the way he wanted to be treated. Was a very good brother. The last time I ran into Killah Priest was a week before I moved to Florida from NYC in 2002 and I gave him the David Icke book "the biggest secret", told him I'll get back from him the next time I see him. Haven't talked to him since that day, but I have followed his career with his music and podcast. Peace to the god.
everything in this album aged like wine! i would appreciate if you gave my playlists a glance.. I’m working on some 80s-90s Hip-Hop playlists for the east, west & south sides respectively, hoping to create a catalogue of all the dopest & most unique old school Hip-Hop for newer listeners :) I am a younger fan of Hip-Hop myself so I would be very thankful of any feedback or anybody else who should be on the next east coast playlist! Peace ☮️🖤🙂
Max Milli i met him while i was in highschool im brooklyn. I went to boys amd girls high he was out there giving out the t shirts with the axe on it .. u know amil is his baby mother right?!
@@bronsoncharles9869 Imagine how long this piece of music will remain relevant. Weather it was written in a day, a month or a year, personally doesn't matter to me. But he has an amazing podcast worth checking out. Could ask him directly and spark a whole podcast episode about the creative process of this master piece album. I'd love to see that man.
This is STILL one of the greatest projects I've EVER heard in my life! Great job EVERYONE who had ANYTHING to do with this track, from The Priest to the factory worker who pressed the CD! My life was made infinitely better because of "Atoms to Adams"! Bless up, Priest!
Came back full circle since highschool...been a long journey since then, moved to three different countries, got married, father two sons, and learned a third language. Now i am beginning to understand life and KP lyrics oowee. Supreme Hip Hop reigns still.
I listen to this joint on repeat for days on end. And have for years. As time passes, I am feeling more and more like this is my favorite Hip Hop track ever. It embodies everything I love about the artform. Beat, lyrics, wisdom, vibes, depth.
higher knowledge than the rest .past all test.the spirit of the most high is with you.that is why you're on stoppable. music is top of the line.ahch shalawam.👉👏👏👏
Killah priest got a deal from geffen records, then came HEAVY MENTAL,. Then Sunz of men released a album that to this day we never seen , i remember late 1996
"Across the great amazon, stretched out my hand like yarn, it'll reach babylon, behold the physic phenomenon, quite storm, a wonder out of the horizon, from the top of holy mount zion, holding the staff turn into a python KILLAH PRIEST THE LIVING ICON, sitting in the form of a pentagon in the center of the octagon, walking to tyrie and zion, to Lebanon to the walls of Hong Kong recite the 23rd song, long gone before the crack of dawn"
@@chrisrichardson4693 Well all of the projects in Bushwick had mad Ansaars so it was impossible to not bump into them selling incense or books on the streets..
My mind reconstructed from the ruins it occupied before engaging with this tune...Junior Reid's influence strong but this is what HipHop should be but rarely is.
I love this was doing research and I remembered a lot of it from this song. Never knew 20 years ago this would hit me even harder life is real ! The asiatic black man been thru so much. My mind is free now king. Did the real knowledge of the worlds timeline ,this history shit like Instagram post’s ppl better tap in I’m out priest thank u g. And I’m still in Brownsville....... 💯

Killah Priest is 1 of most intelligent rappers ever. This album was way before its time. Coming back 20+ years later it hits harder

Mannnnnnn,I never knew I would revisit this 20yrs later and it's just as insightful as it was then.Priceless rap.What a Crystalized gem!

4th fucking disciple, sooooo slept on as a producer
Godscience7 I been saying that. he went hard for decades
That's my word
One of my favorites
Endless gems being wizzed at the listener..Takes several listens to fully digest & meanwhile takes your mind to another place entirely-Masterpiece
Kevin Gipson yup still your ignorance is bliss thank you. Lol feels weird being honestly kind
Priest bars are dense as a diamond and brilliantly cut
Sorcerer-level lyricism!
favorite album to this day.
No doubt indeed
Came back full circle since highschool...been a long journey since then, moved to three different countries, got married, father two sons, and learned a third language. Now i am beginning to understand life and KP lyrics oowee. Supreme Hip Hop reigns still.
It's good to be living and aware
Amazing song. If ever a song of choice can be played on radio for 1 night where I knew 1 million + would be listening...this would be. Sick
yo, first Killah priest I ever listened to, blew my mind. he is responsible for my lyrical greatness, at least used to lol.
+Daryl Russell your dope ....heard some of your music ... great to hear another MC👍
A celestial naserite..mic dropp
The imagery this man spits out is incredible. That combined with what the things he actually describing, I don't know of another mc as deep as him
My favourite track of the album yet
I listen to this joint on repeat for days on end. And have for years. As time passes, I am feeling more and more like this is my favorite Hip Hop track ever.
It embodies everything I love about the artform.
Beat, lyrics, wisdom, vibes, depth.
This was ridiculous.
I nominate a movement we need to get this the recognition it deserves!
Peace god love you fam, thank you!!!!

atoms to Adam was the name of a Dr Malachi York book from the 1980s
Mike Gamebred Hmmm!!!
I'm pretty sure KP was a student of Dr. York
@@chrisrichardson4693 Well all of the projects in Bushwick had mad Ansaars so it was impossible to not bump into them selling incense or books on the streets..
This is the reason he was locked up forever. Dr. Malachi was forming a union
You should be in the Guinness book of records
My mind reconstructed from the ruins it occupied before engaging with this tune...Junior Reid's influence strong but this is what HipHop should be but rarely is.
Your not gonna find stuff like this these days. Hip Hop in its purest form.
This is light years beyond the works of a mere mortal, This is something divine and supreme.....True Master wordsmith (7)
