These are people as well with families and they generally are trying to do something good for the community, which you cannot say about anyone who deals in drugs, pimps hos, or is a thief. Those are the people whom I hope something bad happens to. One of the worst things that piss me off is those people who say the only good cop is a dead one piss me off. There are more reasons than just being jerks why they have to address situations in the way they do. A job where people constantly disrespect you and there are attempts made on your life for doing that job and you wonder why police have a certain attitude towards suspects. Just as many drug dealers are not just pure terrors for the sake of being terrors, cops are the same way. What's wrong with being someone positive and emulating them?īack to the police, I don't think I know one person who doesn't know at least one cop or one person who is going through the process of becoming a police officer. Just look at Rick Ross who names himself after a criminal then compares himself and attempts to be other criminals like Big Meech and Larry hoover. Now I don't want to see a bunch of comments about how the only success shown in the hood is that of the crooks, because there are plenty of hard-working people in the community and traditionally there were even more shop and business owners to be role models. It seems almost criminal, that the only acceptable path to success in hip-hop is to start in crime. What about the hard working men and women who went to work every day to feed their kids and wanted them to live in a safe neighborhood and weren't too happy by the junkies, crack vials, prostitution, and theft all associated with Biggie's crack game. The hip-hop community has learned to accept this as the rational decision and any opinion to the contrary is hating at best and snitching at worst. But then again, I'm asking hip-hop fans for reason.īig example that always has nagged at me, at the beginning of Juicy, Biggie says "This goes out to the people who called the police on me when I was just tryna make some money to feed my daughter". It would seem reasonable that calling the police to curb the activity would make sense and that they aren't assholes just for getting the dope boys from the neighborhood. Why is it the only cops shown or portrayed in hip-hop the racist cops who 'don't understand' hood culture and who are conspiring to throw niggas in jail? Why is it that the only perspective in hip-hop is that of the criminal element? As an (aspiring) member of the middle class, I hope to one day own property and be able to have things without being robbed or having criminal activity occur outside of my door.
