The press has not done a fair job of exposing his [Bernie Sanders] policy. He has not had the television time that he deserves or that Hillary Clinton has. He has not had the ability to connect with black people in the mass way.

More quotes by Killer Mike
The motivation to me is to make money and not be dependent upon the shallow pool called the entertainment world or the rap world or the hip-hop world.
Killer Mike
I have a 20-year-old son, I have a 12-year-old son and I'm so afraid for them.
Killer Mike
As entertainers, you're afraid [about] loss of income - but if other people start going to jail for free speech, then we've lost this great thing that America is, and I'd like to keep that.
Killer Mike
This is jazz, this is funk, this is soul, this is gospel This is sanctified sick, this is player Pentecostal. This is church front pew, Amen, pulpit, What my people need and the opposite of bullshit.
Killer Mike
I would just encourage everybody to just talk your opinion more, allow other people and fight for other people to [express theirs].
Killer Mike
I like his consistency, because Bernie Sanders talk - it boils down to the American people. His one thing is the American people.
Killer Mike
Most rappers are black men. If you're a black man, you owe something to the community that you came from. If you're rapping about the community that you came from, and you're romanticizing parts of it for the entertainment of people who don't look like you, you certainly owe something to the community.
Killer Mike
I don't trust the church or the government, and anything the church or the government tells me I assume to be a lie or a conspiracy, until proven true.
Killer Mike
I just need the junkies and the liars and the thieves, I need the pimps, prostitutes and pushers out in the streets. That's where I'm seeking God, cause that's where He found me.
Killer Mike
I can't expect rappers to be politicized when Americans are not socially motivated enough to care about their own lives and public policy as much as they were even 20 years ago. But I'm compelled to make the music I make regardless.
Killer Mike
What I am is an encourager. I encourage all who deserve freedom to fight for that. And if you can't win by yourself, then find other people to be in solidarity with.
Killer Mike
If I go all the way politicized, I become a zealot who's not allowed to have fun with the people and the community that raised me. But if I go the other way, I become an ignoramus who isn't properly qualified to speak on my community's behalf.
Killer Mike
When you say you want to talk about racial justice, that`s not the same as I want to do something about racial justice. Saying I want to hold police accountable is doing something. Saying that I want to take money out of politics, big money, is doing something.
Killer Mike
I'm just seeing as I grow older, and hopefully wiser, that a lot of things I see from a race perspective are class problems too, so I should be advocating for all.
Killer Mike
I learned to fly planes at fifteen years old because one of my teachers thought I'd be a better pilot than rapper.
Killer Mike
I`m lucky in that in my character in hip hop is me. I`m Michael Render. My character is Killer Mike. But the truth that I sing in my raps align themselves with the policy of Bernie Sanders.
Killer Mike
I love Dr. King, but violence might be necessary Cause when you live on MLK and it gets very scary, You might have to pull your AK, send one to the cemetery.
Killer Mike
My grandmother taught me, you believe in a politician, you get out there and work for them. So, that`s what I`ve been doing.
Killer Mike
Being an adult, you've already suffered enough from your own mistakes, and the world, to come to this as a humble human being. So it's not like, I'm going to do the right thing because it advances me, as much as it's like, I'm going to do the right thing because this puts me closest to the dream I had as a 10-year-old kid.
Killer Mike
I'm not one of those artists who doubts that they made dope-ass records. From the first record to now, each record has gotten better. I started dope, so I've just gotten doper and doper and dopest and super dope.
