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.

Good cops don't mind being filmed. Any cop that tries to confiscate a camera is a corrupt asshole.

[TheMitchellCrooks]

I have got 2 police officers off the street. Jeremy Morse & Derek Colling by filming them. That's got to be some sort of record! Watch the watchmen and NEVER be afraid. Encourage others.

This was FIRE ! This is what rap music is all about, not the garbage that they push to brainwash and criminalize our children and smear the minority public image. We have definitely got to film the police because they have grown into a tyrannical force of evil that sees the public as slaves they can exploit and physically abuse at will . And once again...Excellent lyrics, video and message.

[ghostofzigz]

Yea! F(ilm) the Police... then send it to copblock.org

[vinceloe1]

Excellent! Tous ensemble rien ne peu nous arrêter!

[thetruespin]

Sometimes "the people" are the dicks. Just saying...

[SindwillerCH]

@treesunrise That's because B. Dolan and Co. propagate the more SENSIBLE thing to do. What do I know though, I don't live in the U.S. :P

[1775novten]

@possums1010 Amen! I am still baffled that judges are allowed to ban video and audio recording devices in the court room. But we all that it's for the same reasons that police don't like to be recorded, which is because they are used to their transcript of the events as being the gossip and they don't want any "true" record of events to undermine their account.

[possums1010]

Good video and song - I'd like to add - we have to get cameras into the COURTS too! That's where some of the worst atrocities take place.

[hypermagicalultra]

Great video, SFR. And an even better song. Who watches the Watchmen? We The People.

So Film the Police.

[Monkeyman3000]

did they sample the beginning? And if they did please tell me from where?

[treesunrise]

Good song, you have skills, but the original message is far more radical, this is moderate compared to NWA.
