Killer Mike's Big Beast of a Weekend

From MIT to the White House in three days.

Run the Schools - Killer Mike had the best weekend ever. He kicked it off Friday (April 24) fielding questions as part of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Hip Hop Speakers series, covering topics from police brutality and No Child Left Behind to recommending that musical abolitionists stay "independent as f**k" from the sharecropping system that is the industry. We need more Roc-A-Fellas and Bad Boys, he said.(Photo: Killer Mike via Instagram)

Ghetto Gospel - Mike then took a moment from all that political talk to send up a prayer for Ann Price, creator of the Ghetto Burger grub spot in his Atlanta hometown. She passed away April 18, at age 72. "I loved and respected her as tho she was my family," he wrote on Instagram, noting that she taught him a lot about love and being his own boss. "Ann Price you were and are an inspiration to me."(Photo: Killer Mike via Instagram)

Pledge Allegience to the Grind - All the way behind "enemy" lines, Mike let us know it was all love with this snapshot. Kennedy is not only media (an MCs archnemesis, apparently), but more specifically, she's a FOX correspondent. How's that for R.A.P. music?(Photo: Killer Mike via Instagram)
