Run The Jewels wishes old-ass Stephen Colbert a happy birthday on The Late Show

Rap duo Run The Jewels and Late Show host Stephen Colbert have beef. No, not about Killer Mike’s deeply disappointing recent endorsement of the infamously racist gun lobby trade organization masquerading as a civil rights group, the National Rifle Association. Instead, as watchers of The Late Show know, Killer Mike and El-P intermittently pop up to despoil Colbert’s holiday-themed musical comedy sketches with some of their signature (but more so) explicit flow. After working their foul-mouthed magic on Colbert’s Halloween and Christmas ditties in the past, RTJ made a return appearance on Friday’s show in advance of Colbert’s birthday. (And we can all be thankful that they chose that occasion to rap about, rather than Sunday’s Mother’s Day.)
