Racial inequality in banking is a huge problem. Killer Mike thinks he has a solution
www.cnn.com
Michael Render — the Atlanta rapper better known as Killer Mike — says he got an early lesson in personal finance from his mom and grandfather, who bought him and his sister stock in Delta and Coca-Cola, two of Atlanta's largest employers, before he was old enough to drive.

We don’t think you fight fire with fire best ; we think you fight fire with water best. We’re going to fight racism not with racism, but we’re going to fight with solidarity. We say we’re not going to fight capitalism with black capitalism, but we’re going to fight it with socialism. We’re stood up and said we’re not going to fight reactionary pigs and reactionary state’s attorneys like this and reactionary state’s attorneys like Hanrahan with any other reactions on our part. We’re going to fight their reactions with all of us people getting together and having an international proletarian revolution.

    In terms of technical ability, aesthetic, and presentation it's hard not to argue that Killer Mike as part of RTJ has been one of the freshest breaths of air in quite some time. I, personally, and definitely as someone who appreciates production over everything prefer El-P in the duo, but I feel the yin-yang creates a situation where the sum is greater than its parts.

    However, it is disappointing to hear the music then remember/take on knowledge of the man himself.

    It's a similar cognitive dissonance I feel when the hot clipping guy does sesame street
