Killer Mike appears to have an issue with downloading Jay-Z’s highly anticipated album, Magna Carta Holy Grail. The Run the Jewels emcee tweeted about this yesterday (July 1), letting followers know that he wouldn’t be downloading Jay’s album. Attaching a picture of the Magna Carta Holy Grail Samsung app’s permission settings to his tweet, Killer Mike said, “Nah, I’m good” to the download.
As noted, the image showcases the app’s permission settings. The Holy Grail app requires permission to users’ storage, system tools, location, network communities, phone calls and more. When asked by a fan if this was a real image, Killer Mike confirmed. Below is Mike’s original tweet on the matter.
Killer Mike has collaborated with and complimented Jay-Z in the past. He was a guest on The Blueprint 2’s “Poppin’ Tags.” They also appeared together on Outkast’s “Flip Flop Rock.” In 2011, Killer Mike told XXL that Jay-Z was his “favorite rapper.” “Everybody that knows me, knows that my favorite rapper, in terms of who I feel that has pushed the culture, is Jay,” he said, before adding more complimentary statements. “Truthfully he’s my favorite rapper. I just think Jay is an incredible human being. And when I say Jay-Z, I have to qualify that I’m talking about the franchise for Roc-A-Fella. I like the new Jay-Z, he’s dope. But I was inspired by the crew called Roc-A-Fella.”

damn you dumb fucking nigga killer mike just put out run the jewels which is better than everything this year, so shut your mouth and get the fuck outta here
shut up u monkey
POW! Major props to Mike for saving people’s rights. I think I’ll give the dude a pass for his white people comment. lol
You can’t blame Jay-Z for this, but def point the finger at Samsung. It’s cool though, not really looking forward to this waste of space anyways. Lyrics are garbage.
your just as ignorant as KM is if you give him pass on racist comments. smh
Jay Z has made unwanted sexual advances on mike and stayed away from him since. A killer collaboration with YMCMB is coming up.
LOL
It’s no joke. Mike told me.
Everything you say, dentaldambitch, is bullshit lies.
hopeing his album doesnt make the number 1 spot
…… first album not to go number 1
haha he’s already sold a million first week, if he doesn’t make number one than thats going to be a big week for the music industry… you sound like an idiot.
i just hate jay-z
I don’t blame him….if I had Samsung I wouldn’t either. Thats alot of permission given.
funny bec im sure the world said the same thing when sites put up ‘run the jewels’
It was downloaded many tens of 1000s of times, and the CD sold out.
ut oh not 10’s of thousands.. dont bum rush me with such high numbers i can process this info!!.. and cd sold?! what like 10 per target
1. Rights? What rights? You gave it all away once you signed with a carrier. They have the right to all your information. Loop holes and scams.
2. Your getting the album for free. legally free.
3. The lyrics aren’t the greatest, but production is top notch. Amazing to see so much hate in the world. This guy came from nothing, and made it into something. You can’t please everyone.
You don’t give up all your rights when you sign a contract. You simply are agreeing to waive certain rights as long as they fall within the guidelines of the agreed contract. People now a days are overly whimsical about them, but hopefully the NSA scandal will show people they need to work to protect their rights a little better.
the albums not free at all
I dont understand why some people are bashing Killer Mike. He isnt saying that he hates Jay Z or doesnt want the album. I see it as he doesnt want to grant permissions on his phone…
Like someone said below, that is granting a lot of permissions to download an album, i dont care who’s album it is. Permission for phone calls?
This seems like more of a Samsung thing than anything else.
EVERY APP in the App store requires you to give it that permission? If you have a galaxy phone, it has GPS, a PING and any APP you download asks for permission?
Jay Z’s app is not the #1 app in the app store? WHAT PURPOSE does this serve?
Black Intellects/knowledge based hip hop heads/conspiracy theorists have been making theirselves look like FOOLS since 08
Funny thing is all the app you download out of the Google app store has similar if not more permissions due to being “Free”. Samsung has to have these permissions to track the actual user that is downloading the app to get the free album. Check Candy Crush’s permissions..I’m sure KM has that app on his Samsung LOL!!
Killa Mike is right, the download is asking for too much, maybe you can download it and later deny acess.
props to Killer Mike!
and the Kanye album is like El-P for retards!
That’s what happens when a black nigga reads a smartphone app permission statement for the first time…Every apps on android ask for the same shit…Even twitter…
As opposed to a white nigga?
Exactly. Read phone status just means that its able to see if you’re in a call, so it can minimize and mute itself when a call comes in.
No such thing as a white nigga…
^^ No such thing as a white nigga? Don’t let these white niggas fuck you’re head up with that dumb shit.

thank you Hip HopDX for letting us know. Now we can all start this day off by bashing Kiler Mike for being a broke ass nigga.
lol so true though
JUST DOWNLOAD THAT SHIT AND DELETE THE APP FUCKIN MONKEY
bwaahah Oh man! i almost spit out my lunch….Monkey? hahaha
its a cool idea to update you on exclusive music and a new way to keep you updated on an artist. besides if the gov wants you they’re gonna get your ass with or without an app that you waive rights too
The reason they ask permission to modify or delete is when there are updates then it deletes unneeded data.
word
I that the only reason, Cory?…..the sheep and the blind…
@ corey evans you have no idea !!
READ People…know exactly what you are agreeing to….I think that’s the point he was trying to make….Do you people have any idea what’s going on regarding your privacy?…Well you should…..
Do you know whats going on?
Wake up people….fools just keep pressing accept and dont think nothing of it. I bet yall would just sign a contract w/o reading it just because someone says its ok
YOU ARE ALL DUMB. ANY APP YOU DOWNLOAD ASKS FOR THAT SHIT. ITS NOTHING NO OR EXCLUSIVE TO JAY-Z. just another incident of killer mikes ignorance
It probably needs access to that stuff because you can multitask on the phone, while playing the album via the app. Use your brains people. The US Nation taps smart phones, not Roc Nation.
Big business & US Nation seem to be working hand in hand
Crazy shit wht the fuck is the app about I thought is was just to get the new album fuck all that u dont need to know all just for a album yo shits crazy gotta be a bigger picture.
what an ignorant hater trying to throw salt in the game,. is this ur first phone killer mike? effin clown
KM is many things, ignorant aint on the list though
but this nigga is signed on to twitter..and probably facebook….NOW HE WANTS TO WORRY ABOUT HIS PRIVACY?….his purpose has already been defeated. Any phone that got GPS on it….YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT YOUR PRIVACY…people GPS is hooked up to a satellite in space…..you are being watched regardless of you downloading an app…..just saying
Theres always gonnaa be this one nigga thats gonnna set our race back about a 100 years. SMH at this guy.
Jay or Mike?
Dumb ass nigga ..damn near every app you downlaod ask the same fucking thing..
not sure i understand why samsung needs all your info like that for? id rather shell out money to buy it then give out all my info like its a job interview lol..
i hate white people i hate jay z i hate everything
El-P is white.
fuckboy.
….yah i just got trolled
Fuck off with the racism that shit is so 80s
I respect where he’s coming from, but unfortunately, that ship has sailed. We live in an era now where if we become a ‘person of interest’, then the powers that be can tell you more about your life then your own mother can. With that said, I wouldn’t accept that shit either. I’ll just wait til about an hour after its official release and download the shit off youtube. Usually I’d support the artist and buy the CD, but Jay-Z is obscenely rich and I live in a one bedroom apartment…so there that go.
…lol…real talk…
This article is so misleading, they say he won’t be downloading the album when in reality he just doesn’t agree with the app itself. He said he’s a huge fan of Hov so chances are he is still going to buy the CD. They try to start a feud when there is nothing there…
I think that’s why they quoted him at the bottom saying how much he loves Jay. Though they obviously misled us so we’d click on the article in the first place.
they always do that shit on this site.
its pretty pathetic journalism if you ask me.
the national enquirer would be proud

I heard that shit last night. I was like DAM SON!
The only permissions that shouldn’t be there is the one to track your location and the one to make phone calls.
By the way there are hundred of famous apps such as Facebook or Instagram that ask for much more un-needed permissions.
Yes.. The American Government..who Jay-Z bowns down to…is watching and listening to every move you make… good luck with that one.
follow at noles506
Preach, theres a reason this whole thing is bein packaged n advertised in a certain way… jay z said it himself. the net has no rules they cant control who does what but this a way for them to start controlling the internet aka the new world all u folk live in and idolize…
lmao funny ass title, Killer Mike is right though. Why does Samsung need access to your phonebook on some backwards loyalty customer relationship management shit.
http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/CiNDzWZ2zIU/mqdefault.jpg
Full network control of you’re system is never a good idea if you respect you’re privacy .
IT’S NOT LIKE THEY DON’T ALREADY HAVE THAT CONTROL ANYWAY…
THAT MESSAGE IS JUST A TRICK.
a trick of what ? . The more details Google,Facebook, Samsung, etc have the more money they make . You’re personal details are worth advertising dollars.
If you the kind of dude who leaves boxes ticked when downloading signing up or whatever then you letting people eat off you for FREE
MY POINT WAS THAT THOSE COMPANIES ALREADY HAVE MANY WAYS TO OBTAIN YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION… I.E. THE EXAMPLE YOU JUST MENTIONED.
I THINK THAT’S WHAT THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE DO MY DUDE… SO YES THERE’S HELLA PPL CAKING OFF THE INTERNET!
HE RIGHT THO
Jay-Z Says “Nah” To Killer Mike’s Life
LOL.
Oh really..Thats why Killer Mike is featured on two songs with Jay?
And IF ‘Jay-Z said “Nah” to Killer Mike’s life’ that would further cement him as a corporate puppet and take away his credibility as an artist/REAL person.. your opinion is irrelevant
These settings are on most apps…
Congrats, Killer Mike just discovered an Android app.
Hes on point tho , that sh1t sucks but 99% apps go out like that.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExH5VU5iq9Q
if u don’t wanna download it for free Killer Mike, buy a actual copy!
or just illegally download it for free
fuck jay z lol ether
300 bars > supa ugly >>>>> ether
Thank god Killer Mike doesn’t have an iPhone. That would’ve been.. Gay, in a bad way. Android is the way to go.
Nigga why do you care what kind of phone a rapper uses?
@ jrich, its a fuckin joke you stupid black person. Downloading an app you fuck face. Some niggas just do understand. …..people liek you should stay off the “innanet”
you were quick to let that bigot out huh peckerwood lol, anyone can type nigga on the internet & this site is full of whiteboys
@ 2nd Anonymous,
Actually it wasn’t a joke. Why most of you guys on this site type like retards? It’s really annoying.
Yeah it wasn’t a joke. He’s clearly commenting on Apple’s proprietary, spying-ass, closed-source BS as compared to Android, which is at least a little bit better. But that’s something none of y’all would know about.
everybody watch that south park episode, human centipad
tells the truth about apple
Yo phone ask you that for any app you download
jay z illuminate app. killa mike right, he on another level of consouisness.
tru dat
He’ll just go buy a hard disk #real
Don’t pretty much all apps require u to agree to these things?
People are so fucking stupid – it says this shit for every other app. Also, the language is framed legally so it often refers to things in a more explicit way than how they’ll actually be used. Idiots.
Guess Mike doesn’t have any other apps on his phone then right?? What a fucking idiot.
This twitter shit is out of hand!!…If you don’t like the way something is presented and you know or have worked with that person try to get in touch with them first and let them explain and/or try to fix the problem. Goofy ass shit I’m seeing out here from dudes I had much respect for initially!!!

And once again, black people take 10 steps back. Thank you Killer Mike, thought you were one of the smart ones…
I don’t understand what you mean. Killer Mike seems to be one of the very few “black” people who sees whats going on.
I second that. What do you mean by that statement Big C? KM knows what time it is. Run The Jewels!
Yeah Killer Mike knows what’s “going on” that’s why he told his fans to vote for Obama because Obama is black right? He’s a stupid racist.
Obama was the lesser of 2 evils. It’s sad that this is what
“the greatest democracy in the world” has become. Mike
calls him out on Reagan.
I highly doubt mccain or romney would have 5 scandals going at once. Dumb blacks will vote based on race as usual.
Killer Mike is a retard.
dont make assumptions off one tweet my jizz stain…listen to his interviews

@ anonymous man suck a cock you ole bitch I download everything, fuck that and I know I make mor emoney than you.
WTF. Cmon Son, don’t act like you haven’t DL’ed an APP before Killer Mike, “Shoulda Never Gave You Niggas SmartPhones” ~in my Rick James voice.
Like saying, the Bank was asking me all these personal questions like Full Name address….I just want somewhere to stash my dough, not with all the personal questions…lol idiot
dumb comparison
Real talk tho the permissions are ridiculous.
RUN THE JEWELS
NO BODY GIVES A FUCK
now that’s real talk…
“Killer Mike is a retard”
Well, there’s a statement I’ve never read before.
Koodo’s to you Anonymous!
I’ve heard the dude rap, dickhead, and I gotta say I’m not impressed. Plus I think his politics are suspect.
Yall are sheep man. Killer Mike may not be anywhere near as famous but he’s a real dude speaking his mind. I didn’t know being a rapper meant you couldn’t speak your mind or let people know how one feels about something.
As an accountant for YMCMB, i can confirm that jay z is such a fucking sell out. blueprint 3 was the nail in the coffin, this nigga would drop a collabo album with beiber if it kept him hot. i never seen a nigga hold on like this. writing articles for bullshit rolling stone, a publication that has tried to destroy hip hop on several occasions. not only is jay begging for acceptance, his music is shit now. mr. knowles. mr carter. bitch ass nigga. self praise is no praise at all. a king doesnt crown himself, a king is crowned by the people. bitch ass nigga jay z, sucking up to the media since 98.
YMCMB!
As an accountant for YMCMB, i can confirm Jay Z wouldn’t be here today if Biggie was still alive. While Pac and Biggie were doin there thing in the 90’s, Nas was right there with them with a classic album to back him. Jay was more like a sidekick. Nas solidified his spot in the game while the greats were here, Jay “solidified” his spot in the game after Biggie died, along with all the rhymes Jay Z stole from Biggie. There are only a couple of real kings in the game, and just because your bank account is overweight doesn’t make you a legend in the game. Jay doesn’t set trends, he just follows what’s hot.
This post is wack & you being an account holds no weight on what you are speaking on. Nobody was going to hold Jay back. You suck bro.
It was a tweet. You all are putting way too much thought into it. He has other apps (I’ve seen his phone before lol) he knows that its not actually gonna spy on him or some shit. His point is that you shouldn’t have to agree to all that shit just to get someones music. Its more of a general criticism of the format of the album release.
GIVE ME A CHANCE
Youtube is all about finding new artist, & though I been rapping for a while im still consider a new artist. I just want my music heard thats all, im not looking for no record deal, getting famous ‘r anything like that.! so please just spare a few sec. to check me out, & if you like what you heard please SUBSCRIBE so ill know you actually listen & support
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzBh55tD_eg
STOP begging so damn much fam! Nas didn’t have to beg. J.cole didn’t have beg. Joe budden didn’t have to beg. Eminem didn’t have to beg. Their music was so great people had no choice but to listen to them. You must do the same.
LOL, Joe Budden? Budden is wack, and btw Cole had to beg for Jay to sign him, but yeah man no one cares on DX sorry.
why do they need to know who im calling and where im at to listen to music
amongst other things like using my storage and shit
killer mike might be the only one not stupid
I wonder if half the users on here know anything about the huge NSA scandal in the United States. No reason for a music app to have access to anything.
I know about it.. It was a huge news headline in my country, Finland.
im sure you cant expect people who surf rap blogs all day to know anything about the real world. its the same people who think honkie is a word used in the real world LOL. to many people get their world news from blogs on rap sites
wow there are people in finland.
that’s bigger news I’d say.
Bitch,that is a horrible insult. I get on mosthip hop blogs daily but I also stay in touch with the real world and Iknow whats going on outside of hip hop.
Eat a dick.
Sincerely,
Me Bitch

These are requirements for most social apps though. He probably had to do the same for the twitter app. Regardless he’ll most likely buy the album in stores.
>These are requirements for most social apps though. He probably had to do the same for the twitter app. Regardless he’ll most likely buy the album in stores.
that’s fine but what is this app? is it a social network app? because if it’s not then it shouldn’t need that many permissions.
The phone call thing seems odd. Read my book it will be free tomorrow: How to be an Uncle Tom
