Big Lou takes aim at the law enforcement on his latest Mista KA produced cut. I also threw in a bonus joint that I put up at the plantation a little while ago.

The Game speaks on his 911 is a Joke record and how he wanted other artists to join in on the Sean Bell tribute song. Jayceon pulls a Buck as his emotions get the best of him while he speaks on the state of hip hop and how artists don’t care anymore. Spotted at eskay’s humble abode.

Last time around, NY Oil spoke his mind on the whole Ice-T/Soulja Boy fuckery. Now in part 4 of the Inside the Mind webisode series, he takes aim at Al “Extortion King” Sharpton; fires off on Nas, for having a half-baked rationale behind his former album title. And speaks about the black communities limp response in the wake of the Sean Bell verdict. What are peoples thoughts? Is NY Oil on point or do you feel he gets to preachy? It’s on you dopeboyz and dopegirlz!
The Abominable Snowman hit me with this recording of Tony Yayo talking nothing but shit on Kay Slay this past Saturday. Talking about beefs in hip hop right now, etc. There’s not one other thing to say about this. Tony Yayo is just talking crazy shit about any and everything haha.

What up dopeboyz and dopegirlz. I wanted to introduce ya’ll to a new series we’re gonna be running sporadically on 2DB. The title says it all. We’re gonna ask emcees, producers, etc two questions. Yep, just two. Let’s face it… any full interviews will be done at the fulltime. These aren’t just “what’s new” or “how old are you” questions though! After speaking with my man ESSO (whose dropping a dope new mixtape this week) I figured I’d start with him. I ask him his thoughts and reactions to the Sean Bell verdict and for an added bonus, gangster ass Laterian Milton gets thrown in the mix. Hit the jump and let us know what you think…
In what the NY Times are saying is the largest public protest against the acquittal of three detectives in the shooting death of Sean Bell… 216 people, including Sharpton, the other two victims in the shooting, and Paultre-Bell were arrested during the peaceful demonstration.
Protesters blocked entry to several of the city’s busiest bridges. The demonstrations took place at Queensboro Bridge , the Triborough Bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge, the Holland Tunnel and the Queens Mid-town Tunnel. It’s great to see people standing up for their rights. Things like these are needed in our society. An update on the shirts: just sent the files to my print man and they will be done. It would be great to get some sizes from ya’ll.
It seems that the verdict of the Sean Bell case has pushed Papoose to record another tribute song (he recorded one when the incident occurred originally). Thanks Amanda! I’ll admit, I’m not big on Pap, but when he gets down like this I really enjoy it. Good shit dude. And you know this will be added to my previous Sean Bell post.

As everyone should already know, the verdict came in for the Sean Bell case a few days ago. Two men wounded, one man dead and three innocent police let off the hook. I never spoke on my thoughts because there’s not much else to say that hasn’t already been done. Numerous blogs to songs have surfaced since the not guilty verdict was announced. While I think it’s needed, as each artist can have a different set of fans and the message will reach a broader audience. I’m saddened though as I feel that some artists will just use the injustice as a stepping stone for their “buzz”. I know a lot of artists are sincere but I also feel there are some that aren’t. This goes for politicians and people with a status higher than the average civilian. I won’t name names though, that’s not my place.
I hope after the songs and after the rants on blogs (mine included) that more will be done. I understand people’s pain and anger and hope it doesn’t result in violence towards police or anyone. I’d rather see progress in fixing this. I have no solutions but there is more than songs & write ups that can be done! I know awareness is key, so I’m working with my man Narada on a tee shirt in memory of Sean Bell, Timothy Stansbury, Patrick Dorismond and Amadou Diallo. If you aren’t familiar with any of these names, I suggest you put wiki to use. I don’t have intentions on selling them, but shipping might be asked from anyone who wants them (I’ll post pictures when we get them printed). Things like this may be trivial to some, but the smallest thing can spark curiosity in someone who in turn will talk to another, so on and so on. So I ask that people don’t stay quiet on this matter. Please speak up and announce your thoughts.
After the jump, I’ve posted a collection of the videos and songs that I’ve come across that are in relation to Sean Bell and police brutality…

I woke up, checked the homepage (HipHopDX) and what fuckery do I see? All three “police” officers were acquitted of all charges in the Sean Bell case. I’m honestly at a loss of words right now. As much as I wanted justice to prevail… I realize we live in America. Decades later, we still can’t get over skin color. It’s times like these I don’t want to live here. It makes me sick. So a fuck you goes out to Michael Oliver, Gescard Isnora and Marc Cooper. Not to mention a huge fuck you to Justice Arthur Cooperman. Check the NY Times for a more in depth look at the verdict.
