    Killer Mike is the perfect example of I don't agree with all his views but because he has an open mind and can articulate his view points he gets more people to stop and listen.
    He is an amazing champion for his local community with investing as well as opening black owned banks.

      @@willis7404 you're talking about housing and healthcare. If you track down why housing is the way it is you'll eventually land on Bill Clinton. The 2008 housing market crash started with Bill Clinton. They wanted to give people with lower income a chance to be home owners. That resulted in banks giving out a ton of loans to people who couldn't afford them. So government is the source to that problem just like why education is so expensive now. They messed that up too. Healthcare is a little different because it's so complicated. A lot of moving parts. 2 things off that back though. One, is take down the pharmaceutical empire for starters. Two, people need to be more educated on how insurance works. At 26 years old I needed a total hip replacement. I had zero coverage and is self employed. Luckily my wife really did her homework on how insurance works. I ended up paying 600 dollars for a 65,000 dollar surgery. I had one of the best orthopedic surgeons Texas has to offer. In a nutshell keep government out and let companies compete to offer the lowest rates. Social services should be for people who don't have hardly any options for whatever the reasons are. Not struggling people working 2 or 3 jobs. If you work that damn hard the country should be set up to let a person like that succeed without the government.

      @@danielhernandez3754 Yes and no. The government also gave cheap housing/loans in the early 1900s, the New Deal and the GI Bill. These were SIMPLE easy to understand loans. Because of this most of the wealth of the middleclass comes from these government-subsidized housing loans. What Clinton/Bush jr did were predatory loans that favored the BANKS not the citizens. So the source of the problem is not "government" it's corrupt politicians that care about making PROFIT not doing what's best for the citizenry.
      Education is the same. Instead of doing what best for the citizenry these corrupt politicians in BOTH parties created a system that put more money in the government and banks. Healthcare is the same, instead of doing what is best for the citizenry it's what best to make a PROFIT for hospitals/doctors/insurance companies.
      The reason one has to do "research" to understand insurance is because these corrupt politicians (and industry) make it as CONFUSING as possible because they know most people either don't want to, or don't have the time to do the research. They are counting on this so they can make MORE PROFITS for insurance companies. Instead of just having a SIMPLE system as is done in MOST other countries that don't require "research". And people are still paying low amounts in those countries.
      In a nutshell people keep voting for the same corrupt politicians with the same ideologies in BOTH PARTIES and they get the government they are voting for because of it. The same people that claim government "does not work" or "needs to be small" are the same people voting for corrupt politicians who don't want to make it so that the government can actually work and instead make so it's FOR PROFIT (Centrist have the same mentality just covered in virtue signaling). Then wonder why that same kind of government won't let a person working 2-3 jobs succeed. Because they don't want them to "succeed" they want them to be CONSUMERS and CHEAP LABOR. Governement is FOR THE PEOPLE by the people, or it's not. Then it's just a means to allow the exact thing you claim to be against.

    I don’t agree with Killer Mike on everything but he’s so articulate and intelligent that it’s hard to disagree with the guy. His point on “I’d pay more taxes if it means educating the youth for free instead of buying more missiles” is spot on and is exactly how I think.

      Most hiphop artists are very intelligent(and well informed) in regards to music, literature and the human condition. The artform is inherently poetic. The roots are poetry.
      And some use their intelligence to make club hits and sling merch lol. How can you blame artists that give people what they vote for with their dollars? Blame the demand, not the supply.
      If you want more consciousness and conscientiousness oriented hiphop...then listen to that and support artists that exist within those spaces. I listen to hiphop like that almost every day...

    My mom is liberal and my dad is conservative too. They divorced years ago but I remember them having conversations on politics where they disagreed and presented their points and they could come to some even ground and understood each other. The divorce wasn’t over their politics it was over infidelity, which they both did. And they both still talk about the other in high regard except for when they talk about how that other piece of shit cheated on me. But they are both guilty so I just laugh at them when they try to say that shit to me as if I don’t know the whole story already.
