Savage Mode rapper 21 Savage said recently during a visit to The FADER's New York office, "It’s one simple thing that would get rid of all the problems in the world. If Americans had no guns they’re wouldn’t be no police killing people," he continued. "That’s the easiest and simplest way to solve it. To take everybody’s guns, not just the civilians. Take the police’s guns too."
He continued, saying that in the wake of recent mass shootings and police killings, he did not feel that protests — on social media and America’s streets — have affected meaningful change. “People been protesting since racism was going on,” he said. “It ain’t much protesting, screaming, hash tagging, that ain’t really gonna stop shit…They did it a million times worse when Trayvon Martin got killed. Guess what happened? Some more black people got killed.”
