The excerpt below is from the racist trash disguised as a newspaper, the New York Post. Podhoretz is the columnist Pap dissed in the song.:

 

His comments came as the first rap song ripping the cops hit the airwaves. In the song, "50 Shots," Brooklyn rapper Papoose says if the officer's reasoning for shooting "was you thought he carried a gun, that means you killed him for nothing, because he ain't have one."

 

Papoose even tears into Post columnist John Podhoretz, for labeling the Rev. Al Sharpton a "race-baiting cop hater."

 

The song then trails off into the sounds of gunfire and sirens.

This is from the New York Daily News, which gave the song its own story:

 

'50 Shots' triggered by Bell slay

 

Less than a week after cops killed an unarmed groom on his wedding day, a rap song condemning the controversial shooting - and the NYPD - has hit the airwaves.

 

The rage-fueled rap "50 Shots" by an up-and-coming emcee, Papoose, has found airplay on satellite radio and is being circulated on the Internet.

 

The song, a collaboration between mixtape master Papoose and Hot 97 radio show host DJ Kayslay, blasts the cops involved in last Saturday's shooting, along with police union boss Patrick Lynch and a New York Post columnist who criticized Mayor Bloomberg for saying the shooting was "excessive."

 

The song also singles out Detective Mike Oliver, who fired 31 of the 50 police bullets into the car of 23-year-old Sean Bell and his pals, who were all unarmed.

 

Oliver has said that he reloaded his gun because he believed it had jammed. But police sources say the gun stopped firing because he had emptied the first ammo clip.

 

"Think we dumb? If your clips was loaded to the top / And your gun jammed, how you fire 31 shots?" raps Papoose, 27, a Bedford-Stuyvesant native.

 

The rapper, who landed on Rolling Stone magazine's "10 Artists to Watch" list last March, also references NYPD guidelines that prohibit cops from shooting at cars, though he wrongly calls the rules the "law."

 

"The law states that a cop is not permitted to shoot at a moving car. / It don't matter if it's coming straight at him / Cuz if they shoot the driver, a 4,000-pound car could cause more drama."

Props to Papoose for Gettin at these "Pigs". The Guy they killed was a friend of Papoose and this track was not in his new mixtape Titled "The Fourth Quarter Assassin" so it isnt a Publicity stunt.

Listening to the song Really Saddens Me.

Then at the end of the song, 50 gunshots sound off.....Its crazy

 

Download the song and tell me what you think.

All of this is just unacceptable. Usually Black people just use the "its Because im Black" thing as a scapegoat, but this time, there is no excuse. This is just stright messed up and it pisses me off even worst that the guy was just startin his new life. :devilboy:
