Killer Mike has made several moves both as a recording artist and political activist and his efforts in the latter category garnered him a recognition in his hometown. The Georgia State Senate honored the Atlanta rapper for his efforts in helping to improve the city’s water infrastructure and used the moment to call attention other happenings in his hometown.
Atlanta’s local NPR station WABE reported on Killer Mike’s time at the state senate building, which occurred Friday morning (March 10). The Run The Jewels artist has used his platform several times in the past to address political matters, and once more did the same while being hailed for an earlier effort that involved a drill named “Driller Mike” that will bring emergency back-up water to the city.
“Our children deserve decent housing. Gentrification should not make children poor,” said Killer Mike from the chamber’s floor. “Our school systems deserve more attention. Our teachers deserve more money. Our firemen deserve more money. And our policemen deserve more than new guns. They deserve to have enough cops on the street to be involved in the community.”

Killer Mike also regaled the Senate with a story of when he first visited the building as a teenager with a teacher.
“Because of his course that year I fell in love with my city, with my state, and the political process. When I imagined myself here as a kid, I was dressed in all black like Run-DMC and I had on a gold chain. So you guys are indulging the fantasy of a child who made an A in Georgia history,” he said.
State Sen. Nan Orrock sponsored the resolution that recognized Killer Mike and the city for the efforts to improve water conditions for Atlanta residents.
The burly rapper posed for photos with Sen. Orrock and stated that he intends to campaign for Sen. Vincent Ford, who is a mayoral hopeful and co-sponsor of the resolution.
Now they are giving awards to obese racist pigs.
“IN THESE HOLLOWED HALLS” killer mike is a fat fucking fool
What did you expect he black ok
In his thank you speech he called everybody racist, called for genocide of white people and shouted out the black lives matter movement
How can a chimp win an award that is meant for people lol
Blowing a fat black man’s asshole, eat shit all of you coalburners and mudsharks.
Call black people lazy and uneducated but when they are actually being productive and winning awards, y’all still talk shit.
They are just calling a spade a spade, it’s butt hurt libraries like you that ruined this country and now we are taking it back.
*Libtards not libraries
of course when you suck mayor political dick they will award you for it
He didn’t get a reward for being a race baiting, hypocrite piece of shit? What about for getting black people killed and put in prison with his dumbass political views?
Fuck all of you trolling fucktards I hate you all. Get a fucking life.
He along with TI helped create the “new” racism: black kids in the suburbs who hate white people.
All lives matter. Just not to each other apparently. Being black and from Chicago I see firsthand that we are the only ones killing ourselves daily, not whites. Also, whites aren’t the ones that enslaved us it was our own people that did that to us. African warlords sold us to the whites and Spanish. These are hard honest facts we all have to learn to live and deal with.
We appreciate your honesty, much love!
Geek down, hoe. That was not a black kid from Chicago
*(((whites and Spanish)))
Yeah.. you not a black kid from Chicago…not at all….nice try though
what a fat black racist piece of shit this guy is
This dumb asshole single handedly set things back for negroes a 100 yrs.
So goddamned sick of this site ramming their Zionist agenda down our fucking throats.
Its wild they are not allowing certain comments to be posted, and its not racist or hateful comments… you can see those on most news stories discussions
Good riddance, you piece of shit.
They need to ship his big dumb ass back to Africa so he can dig up termites with a stick to eat then.
I hear Killer Mike was offered the role of King Kong in the movie Skull Island. No make-up or CGI needed he look like a big fat hairy primate already
D.L you seem like a decent human being, do not let Danielle Harling and Victoria involve you in this shit. Once you go down this road there is no going back, you are better then this.
Much respect Killer Mike
Black does something positive and someone pats him on the back. all the white supremacists come out of the wood works. But “race baiters” right? SMFH. The revolution will be televised…. #wearenotademocracy
The revolution is being censored and propaganda is being televised.
