Game’s reaction to the Sean Bell verdict: “911 is a Joke” and video pics
Posted by Miss Info under life beyond rap , new music , outrage[9] Comments
technically, the original 911 is a Joke was a criticism of EMS response to inner city emergencies, right? Here its more representative of law enforcement….
For the record, I do not condone any cop-killing sentiments. I think there are problems in the law enforcement system, and problems within the judicial system that’s supposed to deal with these cases. I think there are definitely bad cops. But there are also good ones who respect their oath to the communities they’re supposed to protect and serve. And I think that blanket statements are counter-productive. But then again, this song is in the spirit of NWA and Ice-T who used extremes statements to communicate extreme emotions. So I can respect that.
The Game, “911 Is a Joke (Cop Killa)”
UPDATE: props to Uptown’s Baddest and ClipsandKisses for sending over this photos from Game’s “911 is a Joke” videoshoot. Dang, that was fast.

if this would have come form ice T or NWA then i would appreciate it more. i am not a fan of game so as far as i am concerned it just means publicity for him. i need to hear something without the reference to cop killing. the cops are aware that there is lots of hatred towards them now and believe me they are going to be more quick to be trigger happy. i heart goes out to the Bell family.

I think the GAME came correct. I mean yeah the name of the song is “COP KILLA” but yea N.W.A was “FUK THE POLICE” and Ice T “COP KILLA”. I do think GAME care about Sean Bell and I think its dumb for someone to say if it wasn’t for Bell this wouldn’t come out. I mean I’m mad about Bell but it’s a million Bells not just in New York. At least GAME and Ortiz came with something. Where’s 50,Joe Crack,Jay,KISS,Wil,LOX, DIDDY, etc.
