    Just the other day we were telling you about how Kim Kardashian has managed to alienate herself from the majority of her family by being ungrateful and selfish. Sure, photos of her with her sisters may pop up here and there, but that does not mean they are all getting along. Kim recently took the credit for her older sister Kourtney Kardashian even having a career. That crack was kind of funny because if you watched "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" in its early days, it was actually Kourtney who was slaving away at the Dash Boutique while her sisters flaked and were never around.

    Musicians and celebrities are often in a unique position to share their personal views on politics, race, sexual orientation and any other social issues of their time period. The ones who resonate with the public, though, are the artists who share their ideals within and outside their craft. Killer Mike of Run the Jewels has been on a mission as of late, penning opinion pieces for publications about his feelings toward race relations following the unfortunate deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in Staten Island.
