A mix for Sean Bell · by Rafi Kam


Sean Bell with his fiance and child.

In a post about Sean Bell at the slept-on but excellent Biochemical Slang, Vik was inspired over a week ago to post an “Eff the Popo mixtape”.

His tracklist:

Men in Blue – Prince Paul and Everlast
Fuck the Police – Jay Dee
I Shot the Sheriff – Bob Marley
American Skin (41 Shots) – Bruce Springsteen
Sound of Da Police – KRS One
I Fought the Law – The Clash
Can’t Truss It – Public Enemy
Mr. Policeman – Rick James
Low Class Conspiracy – Quasimoto
Nigg**s vs. the Police – Richard Pryor
Fite Dem Back – Linton Kwesi Johnson
Just a Friendly Game of Baseball – Main Source
Fuck the Police – NWA
Cop Killer – Ice-T/Body Count
Who’s Gonna Take the Weight? – Gang Starr
Pigs – Cypress Hill
Who Protects Us from You? – Boogie Down Productions

Download it by way of Biochemical Slang

I just wanted to add “Black Cop” into the mix. As I previously mentioned, I heard it on the radio last week and KRS one’s words hit hard.

So here it is:

Black Cop – KRS-One

Reading is Fundamental

Palms Out Sound – A Tree Never Grown

Dallas Penn – Hell Night in New York City

Model Minority – I Thought He Had A Gun

elle, abd – What do you teach your child about the police?

Radar – Said of the officer who let off 31 shots…. “He’d have one drink and nurse it all night but talk about how wasted he was. It was clear to everyone who knew him that he was doing more than just drinking.”
