Given yesterday’s circumstances with the unjust not guilty decision acquitting three NYPD officers of murdering Sean Bell outside a strip club following a bachelor party, I couldn’t think of a more appropriate song summing up things in our city.
N.W.A. was one of the best rap groups ever as the outstanding trio of Easy-E, Ice Cube and Dr. Dre teamed up to create an amazing hard core rap sound. As many would attest, quite a few of their hit songs were controversial addressing serious issues they experienced as teenagers in one of the roughest neighborhoods in Compton, California.
One of their biggest hits was “F*** Tha Police,” off the Straight Outta Compton 1988 release.
You can pretty much figure out what the song was about. I’ll shed more sentiments later on this as well as the Bell case which is a total travesty.
