Ninety-eight percent of blacks voted for President Obama. That means these people are tied to that political party in a way that's different from other groups of people. Certain rappers always want to represent the Democratic side because they know that's safe and that's what represents their community. I tend to just do what I feel is right by all people.
Killer MikeI 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.
