Open Mike Eagle – “Celebrity Reduction Prayer” (Prod. By Oddisee)
May 1, 2015
“Watch me smash all of these idols / Got my own heavyweight title / There’s no upper tier, we’re all peers / Unless y’all want to be rivals”
– Open Mike Eagle
Nice! Instead of using his 4 minutes of fame on simple braggadocio, Open Mike Eagle offers this “Celebrity Reduction Prayer” on behalf of us all… trying to get these idols (that we made, doh!) off their high horses and pedestals. And for any celeb feeling some kind of way, you see the quote. Go See the Eagle about it. Better yet, don’t. You’ll just get hit with those bars he has; and a lyrical azz whuppin doesn’t make for good selfies or viral videos. Hahaaa!
Music produced by Oddisee. Song appears on the full length release “Persona” (out now).
