Yeah, rap still gets a bad rep in mainstream media. But I dare you to find a more level-headed discussion about such a hot topic on any of the so-called news channels. What started off with a Killer Mike tweet, an outspoken supporter of gun ownership, grew into a discussion with Boston emcee Akrobatik, who was coming from the opposite perspective. With each side presenting their arguments, not once did the conversation devolve into condescension or name-calling. Something rarely seen in today’s heavily polarized political arena, especially on the web.

I think these guys just broke the Internet.

The full discussion is preserved for posterity below.

1982 was when Jaap van der Doelen aka J.Monkey shot his way out his mom dukes. A mere two years later he was already battling Big Brother and The Illuminati. Whenever he has time to spare from those efforts he writes (about music, mostly), hosts a radio show and designs graphics for a living. He lives in The Netherlands where he continues to be winning.
