,” the only guest MC here who’s been an ATL fixture for longer than Killer Mike himself, and one half of the duo that first introduced him to the world. After that first verse on “Snappin’ & Trappin’,” Killer Mike became a regular on OutKast records and a member of the vaunted Dungeon Family, popping up on the terrific 2001 OutKast single “That same year saw the release of Mike’s own solo debut,” featuring Big Boi and Sleepy Brown, which peaked at No. 60 on the Hot 100.

Bush and Sarah Palin and railing against poverty, greed, racism, and all manner of exploitation.
