Killer Mike is the Obama of rap in the way we understand Obama now, Kendrick might be the Obama of rap in the way most people looked at Obama 6 years ago.
You're not far off. His dad was also a cop so he's supportive of police too. His music kind of has this revolutionary aesthetic and vibes though, I felt kind of betrayed when I learned his real politics.
I thought that was Killer Mike

I used to love Killer Mike and RTJ. I still like the music but I haven't listened in a while. He's very strange, politically.
He strikes me as a "we can reform capitalism and remove its racist tendencies" guy but I have a limited view of his politics if I'm being honest.

RTJ 1-2 are still 🔥 though
He says the answer to capitalism isn't to abolish capitalism, it's black capitalism.
Cus regular capitalism works out so great for poor white people.
He's a landlord
🤢
Isn't Killer Mike the Bernie of rap?
That depends on how much you hate Bernie
