Monday (July 17) is Killer Mike Day, at least in the city of Atlanta. The Atlanta City Council celebrated the Run The Jewels member, whose real name is Michael Render, with a day named in his honor. Mike received the accolade for his role as an ambassador to the city and his steadfast work as an activist.
“I respect you in so many ways,” City Councilman Andre Dickens told Mike, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “You represent the ATL well.”
During the ceremony, Mike had a chance to speak to the council members and others in attendance. The veteran rapper took the opportunity to address issues that concerned him, much like he did earlier this year when he was honored by the Georgia State Senate.
“Atlanta City Council members, I challenge you to make sure that this city is not polarized by race and/or class,” Mike said. “I challenge you to make sure that BeltLine has affordable housing.”
Watch a clip of Mike’s speech below.
BERNIE SANDERS’ BITCH GOT HIS OWN DAY!!!! CONGRATS!!!!
Killer Mike is the truth!!!! Salute!!!!
Hehe, you wouldn’t say that to my face in real life. You think I can’t find your IP address fool? Keep playing. The monitor can’t hide you.
Politicians need studio bangers turned activists like him to get to his listeners. Still you got not so much credibility when you kill all those mics with those murder verses then preach peace and sht. Fatass hypocrite.
You sound dumb. You lames paid by right wing organizations to come spew bs need to gtfoh
Nah I’m just more into gangsta rap than rtj type stuff. So those verses I’ve heard contradict that bullshit hes preaching, murder rap and complaining about black on black crime to be specific.
I agree, I never thought his raps were any good. He usually had ruined any outkast song he was on and his voice is annoying
when you suck political dick you get your reward
Mike Bigga never really took off did it
Chicken and Kool aid for everyone!
