Killer Mike posted his six-part interview with presidential candidate Bernie Sanders today (December 15).
The total interview spans one hour. Killer Mike starts the interview by explaining his background growing up in Atlanta before asking Sanders a question about a specific governmental system.
“What is socialism and what does it mean to the Black community?” Killer Mike asks Sanders.
“What it means to me, what it means to the Black community, what it means to the American community is the understanding that when we talk about rights, you have freedom of speech,” Sanders says. “You can go out on the corner and give a speech. You have the constitutional right to do that. But you know what, to be truly free, you need economic rights as well. So you can go out and give a speech, but you don’t have any food in your stomach, you don’t have a house, roof over your head, you don’t have any education, are you really free?”
Elsewhere in the interview, the two discuss social security, marijuana and gun control.

Bernie is the man. I am more excited about Bern than Obama. Bernie doesn’t use so much cautionary politician language. Mike is my role model. Southern heavy set smoker style.

The only way socialism will work is if everyone pulls there own weight. everybody cant have these easy cushy jobs that pay awesome. if you’re uneducated it means you’re going to have hard labor jobs. the problem is America is lazy. Killer Mike is awesome as a rapper and person.
