With all of the buzz surrounding Rachel Dolezal, her "black" identity and her decision to step down from her role as an NAACP official in Spokane, Wash., it's not surprising she's a hot topic of conversation amongst the late night talk shows.

When Kendrick Lamar said, "Critics want to mention that they miss when hip-hop was rappin’/ Motherf---er, if you did, then Killer Mike'd be platinum," on "Hood Politics," hip-hop heads nodded their heads with immediate agreement. People know what's up when it comes to Killer Mike's skills. The rapper hits the big 4-0 today (April 20).
Run the Jewels member Killer Mike was involved in a quick round of fisticuffs at a SXSW show last week. Although he walked away the clear winner, an injury followed.
