I've heard rumors for a while now that T.I. had been somewhat "courting", if you will, fellow ATLien rapper Killer Mike. It now seems as if all those so called rumors are coming to fruition with the confirmation from Mike that he is in the final stages of negotiating a partnership between his Grind Time imprint and T.I.’s Atlanta-based Grand Hustle Entertainment, he wants to reassure fans that this is by no means a sign that he has abandoned the independent scene.
On the contrary, he expects his new situation, which should be finalized in early 2009, to make him a greater asset to thriving Atlanta scene, which has supported him over the years. Killer Mike’s confirmation comes just days after T.I. shared the pending agreement with MTV. Though the full details are still being ironed out, Mike explained that the new arrangement, which he sees as a direct result of his close relationship with T.I. and the work he has put in since going independent in 2007, puts him in the best position to further his career ambitions.
Yeah... well... I like Mike and all, but dude... you've been on the scene for how many years here in the A and yes, everybody knows your name but dammit... if you didn't blow the hell up with THE biggest rap group to come out of Atlanta (Outkast), then why would this time be any different? Which means what??? You need to change somethin homie! Figure it out!

Killer Mike still actually has a very large fanbase in Atlanta & the south! The people have been waiting on Killer to return big on the scene. Why hasn't someone like Killer blew up? It's not that he ain't hot enough...check the track record...he's gotten even better..if u pay a little more attention to the independents than to the radio. You'll also find that it's not him holding himself back, he had a reason for not blowing 100; signing to a label that wasn't 100. So Killer.....get it! Your time has arrived!
