KRS-One - "The Sound of the Police" video

Posted on July 27, 2006 9:14 AM

That’s the sound of the beast!

krs-staredown.jpg

KRS-One’s slightly dated yet timeless testimonial of police corruption and brutality still holds entirely too pertinent. “The Sound of the Police” [watch it now] reminds us of both the historical and present-day responses by the po-po to us wide nose-having chocolate monkeys breathing up all the white man’s air.

That early civil rights movement footage be gettin me all riled up. I be thinking about my nana and shit. You might have seen her in some of the videos. She’s in the classic one with the hose and shit. Nah, she wasn’t on the street gettin sandblasted or nothin. You can see her from the apartment window yelling and tossing shit down… but she wasn’t coming downstairs, though. Fuck that!

We can safely charge Kris and his nostrils with making Uncle Ruckus mad at us for breathing all of his collective master’s air. Those shits are specially designed for survival! I bet he can breathe underwater. There’s no drowning that nigga. I mean, I is well proud of my African features, but damn… I ain’t got shit on Kris. He could definitely put a bigger bone through his shit than I could.

For some reason I feel like that statement warrants a “no homo” in most ghettos.

I’ve been watching “The Wire” re-up on HBO on-demand. I never caught any the first time around, so I’m getting ready to jump right in when season 4 starts in September. I know not every hood is West Baltimore, but there are definitely some ways that we can thwart some of this police jackassery if we band together as a community.

Seriously… We don’t have to stay disenfranchised. We don’t have to accept abuse.

Happy Throwback Thursday.

  • YEAH!! Ronnie!! That's my shit!! "Return of the BoomBap" STAYS in the SKMobile. I can't hate on this one although KRS SHOULD ahve to pay more taxes than everyone. Shit the Global warming problem is RIGHT under his nose.
    But seriously folks, Preemo's chopping and flipping of that Screaming Jay Hawkins sample is second only to the flippage he did with it on Biggie's "Kick In The Door". Great song, still relevant although that Naughty By Nature "O.P.P." vest isn't.

  • In the future the U.S. is going to turn on Isreal and when that happens Jesus Christ will step to the world because Isreal is God's choosen people. After this the rapture will take place and the Anti-Christ will rule the world. First 3 and a half years Anti-christ will be friendly to Isreal but after that he will show his true colors. The Bible says that when these things take place look up for your redemtion is near(Jesus). HURRY AND GET SAVED!!! ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR!!!!!!!!!!!!! HURRY THE KING IS COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ohhhh, Ronnie Mexico, you don't what's poppin w/ that Wire first Season, that shit is crack. I had to re-up myself this weekend to saty outta this damn L.A. sun. Can't wait for the next season, the game definitely won't be the same judging by the previews.

  • Boom Bap Original Rap
    Boom Bap Original Rap

    Now bad boy squad and bad boy crew
    everything I do, I do jus for you
    another silly sucker wants the champion belt
    but like a microwave these days I make em melt
    Return Of The Boom Bap means jus that
    it means return of the real hard beats and real rap
    the ladies in the place like it jus like that
    Im a around the way gay with a baseball cap
    you know my style, you know my name
    I'm chillin at the top, but I'm still the same
    I never crossed over, never went pop
    you know Krs will give you real hip hop so..

  • Ugh...people used to say I looked like KRS One back in the day :-\

    LMAO @ Uncle Ruckus

  • my 2 cent says...
  • This is what you waited all year for
    The hardcore, that's what KRS is here for
    Big up Grand Wizard Theodore, gettin' ill
    If you see then ya saw I'm in your grill with mad skill
    MC's can only battle with rhymes that got punchlines
    Let's battle to see who headlines
    Instead of flow for flow let's go show for show
    Toe for toe, yo, you better act like you know
    Too many MC's take that word 'emcee' lightly
    They can't Move a Crowd, not even slightly
    It might be the fact that they express wackness
    Let me show ya whose ass is the blackest
    I flip a script a little bit, you ride the tip and shit
    Too sick to get with it, admit you bit, your style is counterfeit
    Now tone it down a bit
    My title you will never get, I'm too intelligent
    I'll send your family my sentiments, my style is toxic
    When I rock and shock and hip hop it unlock your head, I knock it
    It split quick from the lyric
    Direct hit, perfect fit, you can't get with it


    KRS ONE is the true emcee.

  • I think KRS-one is one of the greatest of all-time. Too bad their is no old syndication for our younger generation or new additions to the hip-hop family can vibe off of.

  • KRS got destroyed by a pop star. Nelly is a fuckin clown and still shitted on that man. KRS is irrelevent!

  • KRS Hater says...
  • Wasn't this dude accused of screaming on journalists? What a clown! He's amd that everybody gives Rakim more props for being the God emcee. How can you be a teacha and get schooled by a fuck nig like Nelly?>

  • July 28, 2006 11:12 AM
  • hater says...
  • KRS doesn't have a fan base outside of Northeast backpackers. Whose idea was this to put a video of a has been on here? You may as well put a J-Live or Masta Ace video up there, better yet Guru's drunk ass!

  • July 28, 2006 11:17 AM
  • pm dawn says...
  • dude krs is a loser. always talkin that education shit but as soon as someone disagrees with him he loses it! nelly should punch him in the face and break that nig nose!

  • July 28, 2006 12:01 PM
  • Dun says...
  • Anyone who sides with Nelly over KRS is clearly a flaming faggot who knows nothing about Hiphop or rapping. I bet that fag's from Maryland! HA HA HA AH AH!

  • July 28, 2006 12:02 PM
  • KRS is a bum says...
  • "No hits since the cordless mic invention"

    How is a so-called "Legend" going to let Nelly get out on him like that and then sell 10 million copies of the cd he dissed you on...No one wants to hear from this guy anymore, just ask Oxford University!

  • July 28, 2006 12:03 PM
  • Dun says...
  • Get it, "Mary" land? HA HA HA AH AHHA!

  • July 28, 2006 12:04 PM
  • Dun says...
  • For you to even use the term "so-called legend" to describe KRS illustrates how little you know about rap and Hiphop history. If there was no KRS, there wouldn't even be a young pimple faced faggot named Nelly claiming he's number one. Niggas need to do the knowledge instead of blasting Lil Wayne/Lil Zane duets!

  • July 28, 2006 12:06 PM
  • KRS sucks says...
  • I bet that guy DUN has the Pharrell album, better yet everything Pharrell has produced..I bet he has Omarion albums and Justin Timberlake's too! Flaming fag with a elony record for getting assaulted by a broad!

  • July 28, 2006 12:08 PM
  • Dun says...
  • I do have Omarion and Justin Timberlake cd's..so what? I support Pharrell because he's so fly! What you got to say about that?

  • July 28, 2006 12:11 PM
  • KRS sucks says...
  • WOW...no comment on that DUN.....

  • July 28, 2006 12:14 PM
  • Dun says...
  • That;s what I thought...I'm bumpin Touch now...Omarion's new song is Fiyah...Pharrell is bringing that "Real Hip Hop" back like KRS!

  • July 28, 2006 12:19 PM
  • Dun says...
  • That's right, I run this site (doing the lean wit it rock wit it to Pharrell's "Number 1" with my shirt off)

  • Hey everybody, I'm so bored because my career is a wrap so I decided to log on and let you all know that KRS is my idol. Don't believe me? Check out this link for proof: http://www.mtv.com/bands/h/hip_hop_week/2006/emcees/index6.jhtml

    Here's a direct quote about how I feel about KRS. That Dun dude is OK with me. A-HAAAAAAA!

    "He definitely had an influence on me. Just the way he put his sh-- together, the way he was dropping knowledge and it was still hard. That's incredibly hard to do: to get accepted, to get your point across and be looked at like an incredible lyricist and stage performer. He covered everything. His stage show is crazy, freestyle is crazy. He can get deep on you. His battle raps are crazy. He was the teacher. He was dangerous. I remember when [we were] shopping our demo — we were still the Warlocks — I met KRS and we was going to do a song with him. He was like, 'This song is gonna guarantee you one spin. Then whatever the world thinks of you, it's on from there.' We never had a chance to do the record, but just to sit down and have that meeting with him was incredible."

  • Jadakiss for President says...
  • WHoeever is impersonating me is a fraud...I never said I respected KRS, I said Rakim...I'd love to battle and destroy KRS though...everyone in NY takes shots at that guy since Nelly made him look bad...that was a bad look for NY Rap and it hasn;t been the same sense..it's KRS' fault!
    AHHH HAA!

  • There should be NO REASON why someone's nose should be the topic of a post. This is only showing that you have nothing UPLIFTING and POSITIVE to talk about when dealing with our people's state. No wonder the youth is lost. Caring more about the superficial things than the pains we went through as BLACK people. And, no matter the color... you were STILL BLACK. Be proud and turn your focus to things that matter in hip hop......our expression, rather than waste your words on such trivial garbage as the size of someone's nose, or the latest gossip......get a life and learn to comprehend the world we live in, cause you are obviously stuck on stagnant.
