Killer Mike - At the Top
Artist: Killer Mike
Producer: Lil C
Album: Bang x3 Mixtape
Label: GTO/Grand Hustle
In a genre built on comparisons, Killer Mike, or Mike Bigga, whichever you may prefer, is the modern day Ice Cube. Yes, while we’re aware Cube is still around, I’m referring to Death Certificate-era Cube and not Are We There Yet Cube. Mike’s latest leak, At The Top, is the kind of chest pounding gorilla pimp talk that makes me believe that if Mike were in the Royal Wedding, he would have left the bride at the altar. Credit producer Lil C for giving Mike the sort of bouncy pulpit that elicits both head nods and “I told you so” looks from former players, looking at their now non-single friends. Never afraid to speak his mind, Killa Kill from the Ville drops rewind-worthy lines, including a not so subtle point about how the Nas and Kelis fiasco has affected his thoughts on marriage. Mike’s slickness proves he’s one of hip-hop’s most underrated and considering we’re getting a freebie in mixtape Bang x3, out May 10, before his album Pl3dge drops May 17, I’ll be shouting Grind Time Rap Gang Bang Bang Bang from the rafters.

Mike as the modern day Ice Cube, eh? How about an overlooked and slightly under-appreciated modern day Cube? Yeah, that is more like it (take notes, Brando). Mike always delivers on records - his own or when he guests - so I knew this would bang (bang bang) before I pressed play.

This song is pretty cool. I don't find the beat that impressive. I've heard way better from Lil C. Killer Mike is dope.

As Z said, I feel like MIke is always overlooked. Whether on his own track, or as a featured emcee, he always does his thing and spits a quality verse. The beat and hook are OK, but MIke's unique sound and flow really make the song. He definitely deserves more credit then he gets.

I'm glad Killa Mike/Mike Bigga is back on track releasing tight music. I think Grand Hustle is a good spot for him. He's such a hard working artist, he needs a good label behind him, not to mention a label that will really get him out there where he should be.

Can't say I know much about Killer Mike but what I do know is he is definitely underrated. While the beat isn't the BEST, while I could do with another hook...he spits somethin' great.

It was all going great until the chorus. Killer Mike Bigga always comes correct on the mic, though.
