As November 8 draws closer, the first presidential debate of 2016 was held tonight (September 26) at Hofstra University in New York. It featured fiery back-and-forth between the Republican candidate Donald Trump and the Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton as they addressed issues brought up by NBC’s Lestor Holt.
With Def Jam co-founder Rick Rubin in attendance, the candidates passionately shared their thoughts on racial and gender issues, national security and the economy.
Hip Hop has been vocal about its frustration for The Donald — ranging from YG’s “FDT” to T.I. comparing the businessman’s campaign to organized crime — but a few have criticized Clinton as well. Killer Mike says he is not voting for either candidate.
The social media reactions poured in and commented one everything from the contenders’ responses to their clothing that some joked reflected the battle between Pirus and Crips.
Check out the reactions from Lush One, T.I., Chance The Rapper, Killer Mike, Chuck D, Vince Staples, YG, Thi’sl, Propaganda and Toronto’s favorite Hip Hop fan Norm below.
Eric B for Prez
on some real shit, if Killer Mike ran for president, id vote for him. dude knows what hes talking about. Not someone like Kayne West who would focus on music programs gettin put in all the schools and wearing holey shirts and shit
A hip-hop fan against music programs, sad. Also, it’s spelled Kanye sweetheart. Perhaps you should go back to school. That is assuming that you went to one to begin with, of course.
Killer Mike should stop with his endless talking about politics and start walking the walk.
For real. Quickly becoming the Al Sharpton of rap. Can barely get his fat ass on stage.
