Sound of da Police is very much NOT about that
It's about institutional racism in the US police, released around the time of the LA riots.

Also discusses how blacks are repeatedly denied the same opportunity as whites which in many ways imposes a lifestyle of criminality on them, and the injustice of slavery.

Did you miss that bit?

I think we'll just have to agree to differ on this one.
Hip-Hop doesn't give me the same lift as it does you.

Each to their own and all that!

Check the J5 tune.
Different styles of hip hop is all, it's not all guns and violence, any more than all heavy metal is satan worshipping and church burning.

interesting
if you read the lyrics it's pretty angry at black people who break free of a stereotype and become police themselves

Yes, that too.
And the social hypocrisy of being policed by a corrupt and racist organisation.

But still selling crack
And shooting people with your 9mm if someone annoys you?

I don't get you
You don't think art should talk about what happens in real life?

And KRS One hates crack. With a passion.

Sorry
isn't that the chap who thought 9/11 was something to cheer about?

The one who apparently quite likes to racially segregate people into us and them

And if he did?
You don't think that someone can hold that view?

So what if he did? Have you read any more about what he said?

Doesn't stop him being a fantastic rapper, does it?

And he's also done benefit gigs for victims of 911, he said he can see Osama Bin Laden's reasons and point of view. I can too, it doesn't mean I condone or justify what happened.
