Do Something Real

Atlanta rapper Killer Mike's relationship with Williams Street, producers of [adult swim], led to a series of promos for the late-night television programming in which he dispenses his wisdom:
Killer Mike has pretty much become my favorite person on the planet since I first heard RAP Music a year and a half ago. And he keeps popping up everywhere. For no real reason that I can discern, he just released a new video off that 2012 album a couple days ago - Ghetto Gospel.

I saw Run the Jewels with Kool A.D. and Despot when they were on tour and it was really great, I had a ton of fun.

Killer Mike was also Taqu'il on Frisky Dingo.
If you like archer, you should watch Frisky Dingo.
Its the fucking Ulysses of the adult swim format.

I caught Killer Mike and El-P this past summer during the Run the Jewels tour (with bad ass Mr. MFN eXquire) and he made me remember why I love hip hop. In addition to having killer mic skills and a penchant for referencing my favorite spot in ATL (Magic City, son), he's just a great, great dude. We need much, much more Killer Mike and much, much less Kanye/Jay-Z.

I've already made one FPP today, so I feel weird making another, so this video for dancehall artist Busy Signal's 'All in One,' where he rhymes over '90s hip-hop instrumentals and hangs out with Ugandan bikers? I'll just leave it here (via LargeUp).

I Pledge Allegiance to the Grind II is an amazing album. Killer Mike is great. Lately he gets lots of props for the work he did with El-P, but his earlier work where he blends social conscious lines with coke rap is kinda awesome.

No love for Sealab 2021?
Shanks: Oh--I forgot to mention: Happy Funtime Island is home to the world's largest population of tree cobras.
Quinn: Happy Funtime?! Who the hell named this place?!
Shanks: ...Rambo.
