Underground hip-hop aficionados no doubt hold the Last Emperor’s “Secret Wars” up there as some of the best nerd-rap around. And why not? The Philly MC was able to cram damn near ever comic book character into the track (and its sequel) while keeping it interesting enough for the non-nerds. Killer Mike‘s new cut, “Villain”, might not reach that level, but I get the feeling folks could just zone out and bang this shit hard considering the snarling production. Plus, the final verse kind of reminded me of “Secret Wars”, which is something I could never ever be mad about.

Nice track.
