Killer Mike?has finally released the visual for his hot song “Big Beast” from his recent R.A.P. Music album.
In the vid, Mike foils a violent convenience store robbery by using ruthless tactics to defeat sadistic criminals.
Fellow Southern emcees Bun B and T.I.?lend a hand and spit some a few bars, while regular collaborator El-P provides the production (and an unexpected cameo).
Fighting aggressive ignorance with equally brutal force? Sounds just like Mike. ~ Rolling Stone
Yuup! It does… that’s why we love him so much!

Davis was pronounced dead at 11:08 p.m. last night, but his execution did not put to rest widespread doubts about whether he committed the crime for which he was punished.
Davis’ case was one of the most bitterly contested and controversial in Georgia history, as he has always maintained his innocence even to the final seconds of his death.
While Casey Anthony is somewhere sippin on a slurpie free as a bird, while the daughter she was accused of murdering lies in a grave, Troy Davis was murdered by our “justice system” even though huge doubt exists in his guilt. Continue Reading…
Killer Mike’s “Pl3DGE” project is off and running and it’s AWESOME(dot)com!? Two of my personal favorites, God in the Building II and Follow are on HEAVY (and I do mean “heavy”) rotation in my ride and the words inspire me daily.
One song in particular, Mike’s protest anthem “Burn” has been catching a bit of flack recently after BET decided to ban the video for the song from it’s network.
Burn is a banging rebellious track, that speaks to the frustrations and disappointments of being young and out of work in America.? It’s not a song that incites violence, but provokes thought and addresses what many in this economy are feeling right about now.
The video for the song includes clips of friends and family protesting Oscar Grant?s death, as well as cameo appearances by several artists including Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Mike explained to Bossip, his intent to provide a video that adequately relayed his message, stating:
I wrote this song and presented this visual to validate the anger of the working and middle class in my country today.
It is my sincere hope that Americans, no matter their race, creed or color, will see this video as I intended: as a scream of truth to powerful institutions, corporate and government, that we are suffering and deserve better.
(I could hear Mike’s voice in my head as I read that… )

The group Travis Porter rocked out in the same spot a few weeks earlier, but they performed during working hours and unassuming customers were like ‘what the hail!’…
