Show Notes
In this Black History Month episode of Conversate with Killer Mike, the conversation expands in a powerful way.
Killer Mike, Cutmaster Swiff, Bear, and Executive Producer Ashley Weaver sit down for a wide ranging and deeply personal discussion about Black history, shared American history, identity, education, and responsibility. Ashley Weaver joins the table as the first woman featured on the show, bringing insight from behind the camera to the front of the conversation.
From Malcolm X and Marcus Garvey to Condoleezza Rice, Frederick Douglass, the Tuskegee Airmen, and Atlanta’s own legacy, the crew explores why Black history is not separate from American history. Mike speaks on unity, miseducation, cultural pride, generational knowledge, and the importance of building strong foundations at home.
There is humor, debate, sports talk, and unfiltered honesty, but at its core this episode is about understanding where we come from so we can decide where we are going.
This is not just Black history. This is shared history.
