Killer Mike aka Mike Bigga Previews "Burn"



I caught up with Killer Mike aka Mike Bigga a couple nights ago. He insisted that I fall through the studio (a studio that is FAR AS HELL by the way) to hear this song he made called "Burn." When I got there he played a few other cuts from the album he's working on that were all pretty good. He's staying on the more balanced route that he achieved on Pledge 2.

But he was very excited about this song "Burn." Yesterday I tweeted how I felt about the song, mainly because of what he's saying in the last verse. Unfortunately, you're not going to hear the last verse until the album comes out (gotta have something to look forward to right?). But you do get to hear the first two verses, including the one where he touches on the recent Oscar Grant ruling. Mike said he freestyled it. Seeing as how I've seen him do that in the booth before, I believe him.

But yeah, I don't want to talk your ears off or type your eyes off, so check out the video. And like he said leave him some feedback. I myself think this song can be a hit. I mean, the hook is simple enough.

Shoutsout to Ricardo and Kuzi of Sweatbox Productions on the beat. I think I got all these cats in contact with each other a while back. Glad something came out of it.

Wow, Ol jesus.

Are you mad because he didn't spotlight you?

You saying this to MG isn't going to get him to come to your neck of the woods to talk shop.

And since when did dropping NEW music constituted being on someone's "dick"?

You 'rappers' will do anything to get on, including diss bloggers from your area. SMH.

figure I toss some appreciation your direction with all the bullshit goin' on in here. MG's exclusives are the shit. up here in Pittsburgh you can't buy a fuckin' Killer Mike record in any store I know, and it's not like Pill or Yelawolf stoppin' by anytime soon, so this is how I get my fill of good hip hop. I'm sure a ton other people who don't live right near Atlanta are the same way. I never heard he was on some mission tryna get every up and comer in Decatur rich, he just writes about good fuckin' music, and I'm glad as hell he does. Real respect man.

@ol jesus

im gonna end this BS exchange like this. either email/comment me this music that you are talking about or shut the fuck up. grown, solution-oriented, option-providing, thought-provoking people are always welcome. 23-year old shit talking fuckboys who go dont leave a way to find or contact them after throwing rocks, are not. Since you are sooo much more "Decatur" than I...I'd expect you to at least have your profile lead back to somewhere where a nigga can look you up and chop it up with you. instead, yours lead back to a profile that ironically seems to have been erased since earlier today. Your "Southern Soliloquy" is looking quite suspect. Real "Decatur" niggas dont throw rocks and run.

Since you are so more "Decatur" than me go back and do your homework and see the many articles (i dont just blog) on Ghetto Mafia, Baby D, Backwudz, Noah. And even if I'm not their biggest fans, go ask people who and where they heard of Cyco and Travis Porter out of conversation beyong blog land. Go ask who has larger outlets lending an ear to folks like Spodee. Go ask where people heard of Prynce Cy Hi for the first time.

I'm a grown ass man, so if I missed you and your high school homies' myspace songs?...I apologize, tough titty.

Your ignorant responses are a prime example of why whats "wrong" with so many people now. Yall are so caught up in this rap shit and wanting to be "on" and and seen that you dont even pay attention to whats in front of you. Here, I'm posting a song that talks directly to the people and is far more relateable (sp?) to the people than the grandiose shit yall are pumping your heads up with that you look BEYOND the fact that the song talks about a young African American male who was shot in the back by the police and complain about me not posting enough "Decatur" rap music on the site. Nigga if you care so much about Decatur, how about you comment on the community-based shit that I post about the city that actually affects YOU. Such as the Dekalb Police killing more people than the NYPD and LAPD combined. Such as Dekalb County letting schools deteriorate or closing them down, while they keep making the jail on Memorial Drive bigger. Take that info and find out what you can do to improve elementary schools in Dekalb county and keep the areas surrounding Towers productive. Muthafucka.

Again, let me remind you, this site is not called DecaturMusic.com. If you want to see more "Decatur" music posted, go start your own site. I'm fully aware of what the fuck is going on out there...and guess what, I don't like most of the shit. So guess what, instead of posting it and talking down on it, I let it exist where it belongs. And while I'm at it, I encourage you to do even more homework and find out the places that I DO post "Decatur" music and the places I DO tell "Decatur" artists to get exposure if they dont get it here.

Finally, I will end this comment the way I started it. either email/comment me this music that you are talking about or shut the fuck up. because you coming over here bitching doesnt do much to help you or anybody you vouching for.

Again, to the visitors of this site. I apologize, yall know I dont usually fall into traps like this, but I dont go around bothering folks and im not above challenge, debate or correction. But when somebody comes at me in a disrespectful manner...i cant help but to be disrespectful right back.

This record is much needed....as are most of Mike's records. He needs to make a radio version so this thing can get some spins.

To the haters...do ya damn homework. MG goes above and beyond shining light on artists who DESERVE the shine. Just cuz a rapper is from Decatur doesn't mean they deserve shine on mauricegarland.com just cuz MG is a decatur son.

@Mike....keep making that life music....I hope Pledge III is a continuation of pledge II.

dope exclusive MG. we needed this little buzz as a hint of hope in this hood of hip-hop. er'body wanna trap rap, tote glocks, fuck bitches and talk about their riches (That they DON'T and probably will never have).

But damn, how do you come to a nigga's PERSONAL BLOG and call him a bitch for reporting WTF he wants to report? While I understand what seems to be a bit of frustration you're experiencing, you chose a very necessary post to come rant about the lack of "Decatur music"? Does this music have any social commentary? or is the same shit we always hear? Is this music reflecting on anything REALLY RELEVANT to what's goin on out here? If not, then that music is worthless, and we already know it sounds like everything else out here. who needs to spotlight that? If people rapped about something THE PEOPLE REALLY FELT, artists may be able to separate themselves from the melting pot of hot garbage coming out these days.
Do we really need more INACCURATE and FALSE portrayals of the hood? Hasn't it been EXPLOITED enough?

at any rate, big shout out to Killer Mike for being consistent with delivering music with some social commentary, and bigger shout out to MG for spotlighting it in the climate where people only care to blog/speak about "hot songs" that equate "hot shit" (as in the kind babies dump).

peace and blessings.

"I will burn....this mother...fucker...DOWN" YESSIR!

Say, Mike, how about throw a verse in SOME record about Mark Sanford refusing to take stimulus money for South Carolinians to keep their jobs but can have the audacity to use tax payer money and assets (security, transportation, etc) to go on a personal trip to South America to see his mistress.....all the while being AWOL from his position of Governor of the State of Carolina....and then have the nerve to do all of this ON FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND..... AND STILL not get prosecuted!

I'll think of some other topics that may interest you as targets for some of your verses.

As always, I'm reppin the TRIPLE BANG GANG!!! (who got the credit for coining that phrase?) and I'm GONE!
