Killer Mike gave an amazingly impassioned speech about the results from Ferguson before a Run the Jewels' show in St. Louis.
Now, Run the Jewels' other half, El-P, has taken issue with a Deadspin review of that show. The review seems routine enough until you get to this strange bit of editorial oversight:
"EL-P, for his part, wasn't entirely sure what to do with himself at first; perhaps because he looks so much like Tim Heidecker, he often seems most comfortable smirking. But last night he knew just when to give Mike a hug, when to rocket the intensity level way up, and when to be silly, like when he acknowledged just how uncomfortable it suddenly was to perform, say, "Love Again (Akinyele Back)"--the song with a refrain of "Dick in her mouth all day." They mentioned the day's events a few more times, but things gradually shifted toward a normal Run the Jewels show, and a loosey-goosey one at that, with El grabbing Mike's belly and encouraging him to do goofy dances."
El-P has since responded with the following:
.@Deadspin you guys think I didn't know what to do with myself because I "look like tim heidecker" or because a dead child gets no justice?

fuckers claim to be on the side of peace but when they see 2 grown men of different races stand together they can't even see it as genuine.

Deadspin has yet to reply.
