Kanye West was bombarded with criticism from all angles after meeting with President Trump last year.
Despite the flurry of criticism, one artist in particular has revealed that he wasn’t bothered by ‘Ye’s decision to meet with Trump.
When asked about the meeting between the unlikely duo during an interview with UK’s Channel 4, Atlanta wordsmith Killer Mike simply replied “Why wouldn’t you?”
“Didn’t bother me,” Killer Mike said. “Why wouldn’t you? Black people shouldn’t have permanent friends or enemies. They should have permanent interests. If it wasn’t for Dr. Martin Luther King being willing to meet with people like [governor] George Wallace, George Wallace would have not have ended up—starting a racist bigot — he ended [as] a person who found God in some way. Appointed more blacks to his office than any other governor since him. So, I maintain hope that all human beings can steer a changed course.”
Killer Mike then revealed that a musician meeting with a president or presidential candidate doesn’t hold nearly as much weight as it would if they were someone like former NLFer/civil rights activist, Jim Brown.
“A musician meeting with a presidential candidate isn’t important to me like Jim Brown,” the rapper said. “Jim Brown, for the last 50 years, has fought against the oppression of all people. Him sitting with President Trump was a significant thing for me, because I know on the other side of the table he was telling the truth.”
Kanye has appeared to have changed his tune following his encounter with Trump in December. Tweets the rapper sent last year in support of the president have disappeared as of February of this year.
this fat fuck needs to shut the fuck up with his political bullshit, you aint a politician and you opinion doesnt count so fuck you and your pseudo smart crap
Oh but your opinion counts? Fuck you and your mama.
i that you mike? go suck some dick
Mikes fingers are to pudgy to type.
Idiot. It’s “too,” not “to.”
So the guy correcting typos (and has time to) in the comment section of HHdX is calling others an idiot. Funny.
This guy is named “Killer Mike.” Killer. Talking about Onlyblacklivesmatter etc. did you run out of Cheetos dough boy? Why do you have an opinion about what Kanye and Trump do? Dumbass. One of the world’s wealthiest and awarded entertainers and the leader of the world’s largest economy and army. Total fucktard. Sit down and wait for the pizzas you ordered quietly please.
“fucktard?” lol youve gotta be some lame whiteboy …continue ranting online while i give your girl that good BBC while youre at work
Must be srsly traumatized to think fcking a bitch somewhere hurts other mens feelings, rather speaks the same of you.
Wow. So dude told people he wouldn’t vote after Bernie was out. If a few hundred people followed his example in key demographics, that could have been the difference. Idiot. You are a fucktard as well. The people who own his label and buy his backpacker billshit are whiteboard, bTw. Just like your boss, moron.
So the only insult you have is that he’s fat? Try better.
Gangsta rap and keeping it real, then anyone mentions his name while he is preaching and suddenly he’s a “microphone killa, get it, he kills mics”. Lmao.
If people had to say the shit they say on the internet to people in person… be a lot of people gettin punked out.
Pussy ass generation talks shit on the internet. Fuck all you guys.
Well Jason, I am a 2nd degree blackbelt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a retired MMA fighter with a record of 12-5-1. I would happily tell Cholesterol Mike there that he is a racist piece of shit to his face. I would also tell him that his libtard bullshit (along with T.I.) when he is a street dude, who has been involved I. The drug trade and runs with murderers is hypocritical horeshit. He wouldn’t be man enough to go fades, even though he is much bigger than me. He wouldn’t do gun shit, I have a CCW and am trained. My crew I run with are all BJJ/MMA fighters and we all legally have the right to carry guns and defend ourselves. Trump got elected because of this guy. Future came up from under Outcast, so did this moron. One is making chart topping pop music, the other is making backpacker horeshit for 40 year olds who still skateboard and live with their moms. This guy’s idiocy is helping to fill prisons with young black men. Total bullshit.
That’s some tough talk
We don’t believe you, you need more people!
man i fuck you up in 5 seconds
What is Killer Mike’s biggest crowning achievement in hip hop. What’s the most albums he sold? When was the last time he was on a featured record? Answer these questions without Wikipedia or google.
To be fair, RTJ do get high critical acclaim. He was GOAT on the Outkast records…
LOLOLOLOL. GOAT on an Outkast record? Do you know what GOAT is an Acronym for? You are saying he out rapped Andre or Big Boi ever in his life? LOLOLOLOLOLOL. He is not even dumb enough to agree with you.
Just means he was great on it. Chill the fuck out.
this guy is a racist
Keyboard gangstas, unite!
Killa mike aka Mike bigga is a legend u clown.
Sure he prbly hasn’t sold shit load of records but his music is top notch.
All the pledge allegiance albums , 2 in particular fire start to finish.
Let’s keep it 100. Dude supported Bernie. Bernie didn’t get the nomination. Bernie voters got mad. Bernie voters voted for Trump in protest and he’s sitting up their trying to justify it.
Mike, you’re not fooling anybody. Bernie burned himself.
Bernie is a no good socialist jevv
These racist/hatred comments are sponsored by the right wing individuals with whom dedicate their lives to slandering leaders of the black community making moves. Pay attention. They are extremely vocal about such people like Killer Mike, are quick to spew hatred among the community regarding artists and to promote ignorance among us. Pay attention people. The internet is the modern day war machine enticed to induce hatred among ourselves and to keep us from uniting against the very machine that wants us to stay dumb, deaf and blind, and of course remain slaves.
Wow. Trying to sound elaquant here. LOL. “right wing individuals with whom dedicate” with whom is grammatically incorrect in this sentance. Do try don’t get all edumacated and shit. Obviously not you. How much are those beanpies you are selling? Killer Mike condones racism. Period. He is worried about all of the wrong stuff and infecting young black youth with his ignorance. I am a liberal democrat. This idiot said he wasn’t going to vote after Bernie was out. If a small percentage of people who have access to him on social media followed suit, he definitely helped affect the election in a way that directly opposes his views. He always says he is Killer because he “Murders beats.” That is BS and everybody knows it. Cats know who he runs with in ATL and where he is from. I don’t consider this man a “black leader” at all. He is in the same boat as that convicted felon and possible snitch, T.I.. Dude was caught with silencers and fully automatic weapons. Was he planning on defending himself with a silencer, sir? Were those weapons for white people, is that who he was worried about shooting up his home or tour bus? Pay attention yourself, dumbass. I don’t hear him dropping Killer from his name and saying kids should stop glorifying materialism and the exploitation of women, and boycott trap music and drug glorification. Which is what his buddy Future is all about. 15 percent of our country (African americans) account for 65% of our prison inmates. I’m not black and that is what I am focused on changing for my fellow Americans. People are people. Seeing each other as black or white and Lives Matter etc is the division. You are self segregating buddy. This moron promotes that, and you follow suit. Slavery is what you allow yourself to believe. Think for yourself.
Killer mike is probably the least racist rapper out there and the one with the most sense. Maybe you should pay attention more it might make your life better.
His fat ass helped create the new racism, black kids in the suburbs that hate white people.
Exactly. You can’t fight racism with racism. There is no finish line in sight if this is our strategy.
