The Review: Killer Mike Trigger Warning



Killer Mike: Trigger Warning 8/10

Jasmine suggested this new series on Trigger Warning starring rapper Killer Mike. Each episode is less than half an hour long, there are six episodes, and each has a different topic. This show starts off hard and strong. Living Black has Mike make an attempt to only support Black businesses for three days. I did not think it would be that hard honestly. He lives in Georgia. Well, it turns out that he could not smoke the weed he normally does because it is grown by White people in California. He could not eat almost anything he owned. He even had to find a Black owned cell phone company. While traveling he managed to find a Black bus company because he was not even trying to ride all those miles to the next town on his Black owned bike company. Even when he finally found a place to eat his friend and partner in crime El P got him to ask if the food came from a Black owned farm. Nope. It really made me think about how hard it would be for me to attempt something like this. I assure you it would be close to impossible living in West Hollywood.


Another one of my favorite episodes was F**k School. I liked this one because it parroted a lot of what I thought about the school system here in California. He speaks to some kids asking them their dreams for when they grow up and straight up tells them that their dreams are whack and they need to start thinking of jobs that will be of use in the future. I agreed with this and it reminded me of a conversation I have had with my best friend saying how everyone wants to be the boss but no one wants to actually work. Adults are also shown how to do some basic repair work at home through the use of porn. It fucking worked! Turns out you can retain a lot of information when you are looking at dicks and titty balls.


I would have given this a higher rating but there was this one guy named Mario that annoyed the fuck out of me and stayed on for a couple of episodes. He appears in White Gang Privilege where Mike gets Bloods and Crips to make their own sodas and sell them as well as Outside The Box and Kill Your Master. A little bit of Mario went a long way and I also suspected he may have some mental issues. I say that knowing people like him in real life that I just call delusional. This was a good series that made me think quite a bit. I was also glad to finally see Mike's wife since I have heard him talk about her over the years but never bothered to look her up. She seems cool as fuck. This show has cursing, nudity, and chances are something you see will offend you which is kind of the point. Get over it. You're an adult.
