Hip hop artists feelin' the Bern!

And Bernie is right back at'em. He is now following Lil B on Twitter.

Killer Mike is more than an artist, he is a father, husband, intellectual and appears to be a community activist, if memory serves. He has some of the most nuanced views on American racism I have ever heard. I'd definitely have a beer with him. Don't know enough about Lil B to comment.

This seems like a potential catalyst for Millenial AA grassroots!

Here is Killer Mike for a sample of his approach to cable TV shows:
