Back in June, Killer Mike released his single, "Burn," and the official video. While the video was quickly posted to several hip hop websites, BET banned the video. The content of the song and the video was too controversial for BET to broadcast.

Nearly three months later, Killer Mike has decided to address the situation. The Grand Hustle rapper explained why he recorded the song. Killer Mike said he has always admired radical activists, because they are not afraid to tell the truth.

Killer Mike gave an exclusive interview with CNN, where he discussed the entire situation. During his interview, Killer Mike said the activists have influenced his music. Speaking on the black church, Killer Mike said it has figurative cancer.

Despite how it may sound, Killer Mike said it is his duty to tell the truth, regardless.
