Killer Mike has been a Bernie Sanders guy since the outset of this long election campaign, but he has also made it clear that he doesn’t share Sanders’ intention to vote for Hillary Clinton.
The Run The Jewels boss man has been openly critical of both the Republican and Democratic nominees over the past year, and it seemed as though an Instagram post on Friday may have been instructing black voters to stay at home on Election Day altogether.
Killer Mike had originally posted a note to Instagram instructing black voters to ignore anyone asking for their vote who “offers nothing by way of jobs, weed decriminalization, federal prosecution of killer cops, qualified black men and women on the Supreme Couty and land grants for black farmers.”
Realizing that this might be construed as a suggest that voters shouldn’t exercise their franchise at all, Killer Mike posted a video clearing up his exact meaning.
“I’m voting locally,” he clarified for the “stupid, manipulators and unintelligent” social media users. “You should vote locally. When you got to that booth, who are your prosecutors, who are your judges, who’s handling sanitation, who are your senators?”
“Get out and vote. I’m just saying when you vote, ask for something back. The day after have your hat out saying ‘this is what my community needs.'”
Killer Mike closed with “Take marijuana off Schedule 1, it’ll save black people from going to jail.”
While Killer Mike certainly hasn’t shown a preference for either candidate, he did give a hint about how he thinks Tuesday night is going to go, including the hashtag “HillaryIsGonnaWinImSure.”
This nicca always backpedaling smh Passive aggressive Mike ain’t no “killer”
Killer Mike, as in he kills rap tracks. How people still don’t get this is mind boggling.
At one point in time he changed his name to Mike Bigga. But no one wanted to listen to him, so he changed it back.
in a typical weekend up to 46 people die in Chicago alone from black on black crime, TRY POLICING YOUR OWN PEOPlE!!!!
You think that has anything to do with 400+ years of oppression and exclusion? And don’t try to compare crime to state-sponsored terrorism by the police.
Africa is nice this time of year. You could always head back there, and get enslaved all over again by YOUR OWN PEOPLE. Or killed out there by other blacks, which is what statistically will happen to you out here. Dummy. +400 years. The Joows have had 2000 years of oppression. They bitch as well, but go to college and raise their children.
Well I’m white, so…. But if you have such contempt for black people and are not sympathetic to their struggle – WTF are you doing on a black-music website? Sounds like you should be on some country music, redneck shit.
Fat racist negro and a ginger liberal cuck. Needless to say you won’t find their shit on my playlist. No sir.
Racist? He’s in a group with a white guy dummy. Liberal cuck? Along with every other emcee and head. You do realize this is a black music website, correct? Your playlist is garbage anyway – GTFOH
Black music website? Seriously? What fantasy world to do you live in? Its whites by a vast majority consuming the music, reviewing the albums, and running a lot of the labels. I don’t give a damn that most rappers are black. At this point, hip-hop is about as much black music as rock. Or have we forgotten how that genre started out?
News flash – consumers, bloggers, music critics and label heads are not writing rhymes. I stand by my assertion that hip-hop is black music. And where do you think white emcees learned to rap?
Fucking ingrate no one would vote for your ass thats for sure wint vote for any ignorant mother fucker who talks about just using leverage only for the black man in the country and fuck the other 270 MILLION people who arent black fucking ignorant
I hope Trump gets elected. If he does, Killer Mike would have been a HUGE part in making that happen. What a dumbass. Putting the ONLY democratic candidate on blast after Bernie got pushed out. Stupid. If you are a black man and vote republican, you are a moron. Fuck RTJ by the way. Stupid backpacker beats, awful coffee shop rhymes with stuttering El-p trying to sound like he is from the future and or hard. White ginger dork. Run The Fried Foods is more like it. Both of these dummies blood type is bolognese sauce.
