Killer Mike on the State of Hip Hop | Conversate with Killer Mike Ep. 54

Hip hop, culture, politics, and real life collide in another unfiltered episode of Conversate with Killer Mike. Killer Mike, Moetown Lee, and Cutmaster Swiff debate whether hip hop has lost what made it special, why albums no longer have time to become classics, and the lasting influence of OutKast, Wu Tang Clan, Dungeon Family, Three 6 Mafia, and Atlanta's music scene. The conversation then turns to listener questions, including the mysterious death of Nolan Wales, protecting Black youth, Dr. Carl Hart's views on drug policy, criminal justice, and whether adults should have the freedom to choose what they put into their own bodies. Along the way, the crew reflects on preserving hip hop's history, the importance of telling our own stories, and the responsibility that comes with shaping culture before closing with a heartfelt tribute to Swiff's late brother.

Conversate with Killer Mike is a Third Story Media production.
