Film The Police by Strange Famous Records published on 2011-12-08T07:06:05Z "FILM THE POLICE" - B. Dolan (feat. Toki Wright & Jasiri X, prod. by Buddy Peace, intro by Sage Francis) is featured on HOUSE OF BEES, VOL II http://tinyurl.com/HouseOfBeesVol2 Watch the VIDEO at http://youtu.be/hyT1buoyTnY "Film the Police" stickers, bandanas, shirts, hoodies: http://tinyurl.com/FilmThePoliceSFR B. DOLAN's "FILM THE POLICE" pays tribute to N.W.A.'s infamous "F*ck the Police," serving as a call to action for the digitized media movement while responding to the recent explosion of police brutality all across the world. This free MP3, courtesy of STRANGE FAMOUS RECORDS, features a reconstruction of Dr. Dre's original beat, brilliantly reanimated by UK producer BUDDY PEACE. Label CEO, SAGE FRANCIS, opens the song by picking up the gavel where Dr. Dre left it 23 years ago, introducing a blistering, true-to-style flip of Ice Cube's original verse by SFR cornerstone, B. Dolan. TOKI WRIGHT (Rhymesayers Entertainment) follows up by stepping into the shoes of MC Ren, penning the people's struggle against cops as a case of "Goliath Vs. a bigger giant." Finally, Jasiri X (Pittsburgh rapper/activist) rounds out the track by filling in for Eazy-E, reminding us that police brutality disproportionately affects poor people of color. With the Occupy Movement bringing various forms of injustice to the forefront of people's consciousness, "Film the Police" is a reminder that cops have been a continued and increasingly militarized presence in public streets. Thanks to the widespread use of smartphones and video cameras, along with the popularity of social networks such as Twitter and Facebook, the power of the media has been put back into the people's hands as they document the injustices perpetrated by those who have sworn to serve and protect them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The lyrics are available at: http://bdolan.net/film-the-police-lyrics/ www.StrangeFamousRecords.com www.BDolan.net www.SageFrancis.net www.JasiriX.com www.TokiWright.com www.BuddyPeace.com Digital artwork by Carl Sutton at www.deprivedanxiety.co.uk Check out: http://tinyurl.com/FilmThePoliceSFR Genre Hip Hop Comment by nettie brilliant 2019-11-16T00:45:31Z Comment by Harley Brix Fucking cops. dogs of the govt. they serve themselves and harass my family. 2015-02-21T03:13:32Z Comment by // much love from canada 2013-03-27T16:36:24Z Comment by // great song big ups for this 2013-03-27T16:36:16Z Comment by RuntE Sick flow b 2012-05-30T21:26:15Z Comment by DeadKousin Props! 2012-05-13T17:32:59Z Comment by LNDthatKIDdope™ love this shit so dope even the video is on point good work fellas 2012-02-03T13:50:29Z Comment by Girobabies FIRE! cant wait to see this in Glasgow 2012-01-27T15:03:11Z Comment by Chris Edens Smells familiar.
