I listened to him earlier on the show. I found it interesting so I went to the website and it specifically states for black and latinx. We do we as black people always try to include latinx when majority of latinx don't want any involvement with black. There is a signup where when it launches in Jan they will notify if you can open an account.

Dr Umar vibes?
Killer Mike has never asked random niggas for donations
Never charged niggas for bullshit seminars
Never got into shouting matches with other weirdo online niggas
Built his own actual barbershop in his own community without y'all money
I could go on. But Killer Mike is giving you Umar vibes? Y'all niggas so deep in this hotep YouTube shit y'all can't tell what's real and what's fake anymore.
Listen I live in Atlanta killer Mike used to be one of my favorite rappers in the early 2000s something has changed with him that’s making me very suspicious
My Aunt shot me this interview Thursday.

Yeah, it’s nuance, but white folks in the media say Killer Mike on purpose (you will never convince me differently) just to be the disparaging pricks they always are when the greatness before them does not resonate with their stereotype of it.
Liberators in our community fall into two camps: we all do for self OR we do for self with white ally help. Since I met Mike in 2004, he has shifted a portion of his view from the former to the latter and I can understand why that would make some IOC us uncomfortable, however, I have yet to feel the vibe that he does not have the community’s best interest at heart.
Revolution is the name of the game, Famo.
I am very, very interested to see how this venture plays out.
It’s already receiving hate in the comments on YouTube, black & white alike.
In my personal experience, Mike is still very accessible.
Keep in mind, if you are indeed successful as his Swag Shop is, you not gon’ have the time to be around all the time. You have always got to be in grow mode for the revolution to work.

It’s actually “Killa” Mike. As in “ he kills the Mike” not, “Mike is a killer.

Heeeyyy, easy_b “cooning” is a bit strong, however, I completely understand your stance.

It is a partnership with former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young and Bounce TV founder Ryan Glover.

Read response above and check out the CBS interview.

Don’t listen to @easy_b . He is part of the profane. If Killer Mike started a bank and is trying to defraud people, he will get thrown under the jail. This corporation has ZERO tolerance for financial related crimes.
It is damn near impossible to even get a bank charter and you need to raise about $20 million to open one.
Killa or Killer Mike, it makes no difference. I think he should drop it, but whatever. If you notice, even The Breakfast Club titled their own video "Killer Mike Interview" We know what it means, but a lot of people aren't going to want to deal w/ some dude w/ the nickname "Killer" or "Killa".
Dude fuck you, you the same nigga who worship the democratic party who don't do a goddamn thing for the black community. And you never found any fault with Obama administration that didn't do shit either. Its niggas like you who keep us down as a people because you always shit on black businesses
A bank? Lol What are we in the 1800's lol what we gonna do with a bank squirrel our coins away for a free toaster lol GTFOH. lol This is one of those things that sounds good but in actuality is bullshit.
I get it Mike has his semi woke lane where he can promote his businesses go on tour with his white band and prosper. But when it comes to really empowering the black community Killa Mike is fugazzi.

Heres what this bank is trying to do.
Feed a Family
Feed 5 meals to a family through Goodr when you create an account.2
Donate to Non-Profits
Give to UNCF and NAACP through spare change round-ups.3
Small Business Grants
We gift $10,000 every month to a Black or Latinx business
Is it the solution? Probably not. Is it a good start? Absolutely IMO.
it’s always randos on the nigganet quick to tell somebody what they should be doing for the community and don’t put no work in. I get it though. It’s easier to criticize from a distance than it is to attempt something and make mistakes while learning. It’s still some hoe shit but I understand it.
If you got a better plan that can be put into action share it with the group.
That's what I was gonna say.....why are people against people trying to help and get a come up?
Yeah its gonna take some time but this right here I respect it.
You can't be serious
Empowerment is giving black people loans for houses and businesses, that white banks might not give. That's empowerment.
The only issue that bothers me is the lamtino part t should black only but I wouldimagine it's hard for banks to fraud like that without getting caughtI know wells Fargo got hit a few times and got sued for racial discrimination soI don't think killer Mike can scam like that and if he chooses too easier ways than opening up a bank.
I will keep a eye out on this for certain.
And he did coon with Brian Kemp but all due respect breh you a hard core liberal who doesn't have the greatest track record either.
You all are stupid as hell if you think Killa Mike's bank is gonna be out here doing home loans lol.
You all are stupid as hell if you think this dumb ass bank is going to do anything but collect user fees off people. This is Rush card 2.0.
Why the fuck would I trust Killa Mike with my money does he have any history of investing business or anything else for that matter.
This shit is just a dumb ass idea in general. There are 100's of REAL black investment firms angel investors and banks that have a real track record of investing in black business. Meanwhile killa mike fat ass is sucking up oxygen with his bullshit "bank".
Im not hating just to hate I think this is a dumb idea that's going to end up hurting more people than it helps.
But maybe ya'll trust niggas with your money because they can bust a rhyme but I don't think that's a wise move for a community. lol
I didn’t watch the video but I’m familiar with the process of opening a bank. It is extremely difficult to do so because the barriers of entry are high and you have to have a lot of startup capital to do it. The board of directors and CEO have to be scandal free and have a clean image, pillar of the community types, to even get approved for a charter so I doubt Killer Mike is even the principal shareholder.
Since Killer Mike is opening an online bank, I’m interested in the process so I will look into that but getting a bank charter at the federal or a state level is damn near impossible. Not to mention, financial crimes are the one thing the Neanderthal has ZERO tolerance for. They even sent Martha Stewart to prison over it.
for him to say Killer Mike opened a bank to defraud the people is ignorant and some shit that Trump would say. Killer Mike would be Inmate Mike if that were true as soon as he slipped up.

Replace “Killa Mike” with “Wells Fargo” and “Bank of America” and your post would be more accurate!
Why he gotta switch up...those people are exactly who the bank is not for
KM aint perfect but he does the work. Just invest what you can afford to lose. It\s a worthy idea
No argument with your comment. Some paperwork has come across my desk about the State Farm renovation and the very directly about the swag shop project so best believe I have some direct knowledge. I do understand him lending his name to the Arena it is a good look. The bank is a serious entity so lets hope this is not just a photo op.
Couple months,shit last few years
Killer urged Black voters to sit out during the 2016 election cause his daddy Bernie didn't get the nomination. But hey at least he does encourage local voting

Yeah there are a bunch of firms that have a record of investing. Maybe they're trying to be one of them.
It ain't just Killa Mike, yet you keep harping on Killa Mike. You have any smoke for the executive leadership or the other 2 founders? Or are you just shitting on Mike?
And how would you know if it's Rush Card 2.0 if it hasn't even launched officially yet? If it turns out to be Rush Card 2.0 I'll come back here and shit all over it.
You should probably look over the website and get a better informed opinion. 'Cause right now it's looking like you hating just to hate.
Good names on the executive team but I still have issues with killer mike
5 star post and debunked the bullshit from the pro-white poster.
I will have to open an account to support.

Bro niggas asked you to share your grievances with Killa Mike and they were debunked earlier in the thread. Whatever issues that you got with Mike ain't even worthy of flooding this thread with.
You debunk them nobody else did I would’ve been happier if Andre 3000 will have sit on that board of the bank like I said I have issues with killer mike right now. If he successful with this venture then more power to him but right now I have issues with Mike
Their loss.
Optics is a factor, but when I know we follow killers that don’t have it in their name, but roll with the okie doke anyway, it means nothing when I know the person, personally.
And I don’t want surface support in the movement anyway. Good deterrent for clout chasers and racist baiters.
