Killer Mike Not Impressed By Others’ Attempts To Bring Back Hardcore Hip-Hop

[Elano]

50 Cent says he wants to bring hardcore rap back to the forefront, and we know the sentiments Jay-Z expressed in “D.O.A.” Killer Mike says he’s not impressed. He’s been keeping it street.

“I don’t wanna hear none of that bullshit from none of the niggas,” Mike said. “I dropped I Pledge Allegiance to the Grind II last year. If you wanna hear hardcore hip-hop, go to the store, go get I Pledge Allegiance to the Grind II. You can listen from the first Biggie sample to the last song on the album, ‘Good-Bye,’ it’s hardcore hip-hop. I don’t wanna hear that bullshit, these niggas who got millions of dollars talking about bringing shit back. They ain’t bringing shit back. It’s here — you looking at it.

“Buy me,” he continued. “When that Killer Mike drops, hardcore hip-hop will be back for the second, third time. You know, the same guy that said ‘rap is dead’ three years before Nas said it. I’m here. Fuck with me. Jay dropped ‘D.O.A.’ and everybody went crazy. And I love Jay. A week before that, I dropped ‘Man Up.’ Go listen to that song and go listen to ‘D.O.A.’ ”

Damn, Mike goin hard. He ain't lyin on that rap is dead bullshit. DOA go hard, but Mike ain't fuckin around that 'man up' joint was sick. Plus the I Pledge II album is a near classic.

If T.I.'s one of your favorite rappers I can imagine you don't think hip hop is dead.

Mau: I ain't say it's dead because it ain't, but I'm saying mike DID say it 3 years before Nas.
J: U ain't kidded, currently, Mike IS the best spitter not just in the A, probably in the entire south.
