''What Sounds Worse: 'Uncle Murda' or 'The Killers?''' 2:00PM ET June 28th, 2011 Contributor : Chris G. A Rocky Williform Company
Uncle Murda spoke out against the bias he faces against his name and the fact that he's had to modify it to 'Uncle M' in certain settings for marketing purposes. He pointed out that there are other names on the market that aren't nearly as maligned as his, but are equally as provocative.
"It's always been Uncle Murda, but Uncle M was used because [my manager] Chris Lighty got me doing a couple things like Vitaminwater, Coca-Cola -- when it's about that money, I don't mind taking the 'Murda' off," Uncle Murda explained in an interview. "You know it's going to be Uncle Murda -- You got [rock group] The Killers, they got records in Wal-Mart, Target -- what sounds worse, Uncle Murda or The Killers? They both sound bad but I mean, sh*t. If you're gonna let one rock, let the other rock."
"I just think people think Murda is always talking kill, kill, kill but that's not true," he continued. "I got other types of music that I make but I don't get a chance to put it out because the situation ain't right and I gotta give the streets what they want."
