In an interview with MTV Killer Mike talks a little about the shout out Kendrick gave him in his latest album. Specifically the shout out was in Kendricks song “Hood Politics” with the lines “”Critics want to mention that they miss when Hip-Hop was rappin’/ Motherfucker if you did, then Killer Mike’d be platinum”. Mike gave Kendrick a nod on via twitter after he found out about the shout out to him but he gave greater detail during the interview with MTV. “I felt like when a professional ballplayer compliments another professional ballplayer. That is a compliment; no one can understand how truly dope that is unless you’re a ballplayer. Unless you stepped on the court and laced up your shoes and had to play against Jordan you don’t understand what a compliment it is when Jordan says, ‘Yeah, I like that guy, he’s one of those ones.’” Killer Mike also added that he thought it was a honor because he himself is a big fan of Kendrick and it was nice to find out Kendrick is a fan of his too in such a great way.
