Killer Mike Discusses "Letterman" Gig
”I Appreciate Dave For Giving Me the OK” Rapper Killer Mike is still beaming over his appearance on “The Late Show with David Letterman” this week. The critically-acclaimed Atlanta rhymer says that his getting the gig was a result of Letterman’s booking agent, who is a fan. “His booker is a wonderful woman, she loves rap music and ‘Untitled’ was her favorite record,” Mike told SOHH. “And I’m the lucky bastard that made it. It’s that simple. I appreciated her for booking me and I appreciate Dave for giving me the OK. It was actually pretty dope. Letterman was a lot of pressure because that’s what I used to watch with my grandpa. God rest the dead, I know he was somewhere watching. I was really nervous. I’m going to be really nervous [when the day comes and] I do Leno because I want to see his cars [collection]. [laughs]” |
