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.

Thank you for this!!! The beats & rhymes are fresh as hell, and the updated message is so on point! Im coming Straight Outta Occupy and it's anthems like this that keep me going.
When i was headed down to Liberty or taking back the streets and bridges of NYC from those Big Bank Bitches & their Cops For Sale, the last song i'd listen to before leaving the house was Occupy (We the 99) by Jasiri X, and that was a blessing. Then on Thanksgiving, Lupe Fiasco gave us The End Of The World. Now i've got this joint too so i'm ready for anything. Peace.

Dope as hell. THere was a west coast classics album a few years back. Bone thugs did this song, but the beat was remixed so wack and the lyrics were basically the same. This is hot! Big ups!
