Very good song-- His views on Reagan are no surprise but I didn't know he went at Obama so hard.

I don't have time to really listen to a whole album but what are his most powerful songs?

This should be educational for me too.

MAN VS. THE MACHINE: WHY KILLER MIKE WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT RAPPER OF 2014
POSTED BY PIGEONS ON DECEMBER 23, 2014 IN FEATURES

By Gavin Godfrey

The first time I interviewed Michael “Killer Mike” Render was in September 2011. At the time, the Grammy-winning rapper was at the center of a controversy involving free speech and censorship when BET banned his music video for the politically charged single “Burn.”

After an outcry from fans and artists, the network decided to lift their ban on the video, but never actually put it back into rotation. Mike and I spoke about the stalemate, and why lyrical and visual insinuations in the song and video—black churches should be burned and everyday citizens should greet the repo man with a shotgun—could prove problematic.

The husband and father of four told me he felt the audiovisual messages in “Burn” could save black lives, that the song wasn’t a call to arms, but a battle cry for unity, not a push to divide, conquer, and draw pistols on the Man.

“My political awareness comes from seeing social injustices,” he told me. “I’m political because socially I see things are unfair. … I wanted to start from that place to just say on a very human level this is not a big, grand ‘Fight the Power’-esque call, just a call to say everyone is dealing with different issues that they’re being affected by government and corporate institutions and they’re not being handled fairly.”


Three years later those words came to the forefront of my mind when on November 24, 2014, a teary-eyed, angry, and saddened Killer Mike stood on a stage in St. Louis’ Ready Room where he and his partner-in-rhyme El-P were set to perform as Run The Jewels. Typically, the duo behind hip-hop’s best album of the year opened their sets to Queen’s “We Are the Champions,” but in light of a grand jury decision to not indict officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown in nearby Ferguson, the Atlanta emcee’s mind and heart were in a different place. He was broken, he was tired, and appeared to be alarmingly distraught; shows of emotion the Alpha-male dominated psyche of rap music is too wrapped in machismo to share.

A couple months before hitting that Ready Room stage, Killer Mike posted a photo of Michael Brown’s parents to his Instagram account with a message encouraging everyone remember that despite our differences, we’re all human. On the Ready Room stage, Killer Mike spoke of his fear for the lives of his sons, ages 20 and 12. He talked about first hearing the news and hugging El-P, being comforted by his wife Shay, and then said what was arguably on the collective conscious of an entire nation, specifically people of color.

“If I die when I walk off this stage tomorrow I’m going to let you know this: It is not about race, it is not about class, it is not about color, it’s about what they killed him for,” Mike told the crowd. “It’s is about poverty, it is about greed, and it is about a war machine. I might go tomorrow, I might go the day after, but one thing I want you to know is that it us versus the fucking machine.”

Today’s hip-hop climate is one where emcees claim to be on the same heavenly plane as Jesus, and artists wake up every day in a new Bugatti and feel the need to remind everyone they’re the best. It’s almost unheard of for these self-proclaimed demigods to flaunt their humanity, and for that simple fact, Killer Mike was the most important rapper of the 2014.

Musically, there wasn’t an emcee more laser focused lyrically than Killer Mike. One has to look no further than Run The Jewels 2, the best rap album of the year. The self-titled sequel to RTJ’s first foray as a duo was a dark, gritty throwback to the days of gangster rap, when artists brought the horrors and realities of America’s poor and disenfranchised into the focus of the entire nation, and in some cases the world. The free album features the original machine rager against the machine, Zack De La Rocha (“Close Your Eyes”), and Mike and El-P sounding a bit more fierce than on records past. Pick a Best of 2014 album list, and Run The Jewels is on it (they’re #2 on P&P). At 39 years old, Killer Mike’s rapping like a man possessed, and his pen game transcended bars and verses.

Beyond schooling the likes of CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin and NPR, toward the end of the year, Killer Mike penned an op-ed for USA Today along with University of Richmond professor Erik Nielson. Entitled “Rap’s poetic (In)justice,” the column addressed the infamous Elonis vs. U.S. case that tackled the sticky issue of rap lyrics being used as evidence in criminal cases.

The rapper and the professor waxed poetic over why, again, violating civil rights such as free speech is America’s way of playing with fire. “But for each instance of violence, there are countless examples of lives saved or made stronger,” the authors wrote about the extent to which violence in hip-hop seems to be commonplace. “Trust us on this: The kids spending hours per day writing rap songs aren’t a threat to society; they are often trying to escape the threats from society.”

A frustration with and reaction to society’s inequalities is what spawned hip-hop. It doesn’t take Q-Tip schooling Iggy Azalea or rappers like J. Cole showing up in Ferguson to be reminded that hip-hop culture has always been about giving a voice to those often overlooked people that suffer the most from inequality gaps worldwide.

In the days of hip-hop’s Public Enemy Do the Right Thing aughts where phrases like the aforementioned “fight the power” were as commonly used as “on fleek” is today, an artist like Killer Mike would have more or less been the norm. In 2014, it’s artists like Killer Mike who are setting the standard for embracing the social responsibility that comes with the God-given talent and power to tell stories and connect with complete strangers via a microphone.

In a world where we’re often feeling suffocated by technology, life’s harsh realities, and musicians who seemingly don’t give a fuck about what the next man’s going through on a day-to-day, Killer Mike was here to remind everyone that we’re all in this together.

With that said, we’re fortunate to have Killer Mike and other voices that spoke up above the ambient noise of the political, social, and racial chaos that consumed the country. In era of utter confusion where music can seem like the only true escape, we’ve found ourselves in more need for voices of reason and it was Killer Mike’s that rang the most loud and true in 2014.

You obviously know rap very well... Who do you think is the best at political rap songs? Do you have a top three?

His "Reagan" song reminded me of The Coup's "Head of State." I'd put Boots Riley #1, so that's really good company. (I don't think "Reagan" is as good as that song because it doesn't give specific facts on the same level.)

For the life of me, I can't seem to remember of find a certain song where Killer Mike tell a story about his "patna hitting a kick for like 25 bricks" and he talk about having most sold before his front tire touch Old National and getting to his patna house and he done got into wit his bitch and she called police on him. Mike say he sat & watched as 12 walked him out then called his goons to rob his house.
