Why Police Love/Hate American Drug Dealer/Rapper Shawn 'Jay Z' Carter

Hi. During the 80s-90s there were hundreds of Brooklyn cops and investigators who loved/hated Shawn 'JayZ' Carter and his crew of drug dealers.

Thanks to Shawn and the anti-social activities his crew of teens/adults engaged in, including selling highly addictive drugs to his neighbors and shooting his competitors from the nearby Tompkins and Lafayette Houses, hundreds of thousands of dollars in police overtime were generated while investigating the murders, shootings and armed robberies resulting from the drug activity Shawn proudly raps about.

Yup, we loved the OT Shawn "JayZ" Carter generated, however, being mostly well-adjusted people raised to embrace compassion and empathy for our fellow-man, many cops hated seeing the emotional pain and physical damage Shawn and his crew caused to mostly peaceful people already struggling to get by.

As much as I loved the overtime, witnessing the damage drug dealers like Shawn did to people in this community, watching infants, toddlers, children, teens suffer abuse/neglect day after day while being raised by drug addicted moms and/or dads, much like Tupac Shakur writes about, becomes extremely emotionally debilitating for most people raised and nurtured to respect ALL life.

Somehow I managed to last nearly a dozen years before constantly witnessing the emotional and physical harm eventually wore me down to the point where I requested to be transferred to a more stable community for my own sanity and mental health.

However, as much as I despise and feel sorry for victims of child abuse/neglect like Shawn JayZ Carter and teens/men much like him who aided in damaging/destroying individual lives and harming their community as a whole, I have to thank Shawn for directly or indirectly generating plenty of OT that helped support my family for many years.

Lyrics to Ludacris' Obama rap song, "Obama Is Here":

"Hey... I'm back on it

like I just signed my record deal, yeah the best is here

The Bentley Coupe paint is drippin wet, it got sex appeal

Never shoulda hated, you never shoulda doubted him

With a slot in the President's iPod, Obama shouted him

Said I handled my biz and I'm one of his favorite rappers

Well give Luda a special pardon if I'm ever in the slammer

Better yet put me in office, make me a Vice President

Hillary hated on you so that bitch is irrelevant

Now Jesse talkin slick and apologizin for WHAT~?!

If you said it then you MEANT it how you want it, head or gut

And all you other politicians tryin to hate on my man

Watch us win majority vote in every STATE on my man

You cain't stop what's 'bout to happen, we 'bout to make history

The first black President it's destined and it's meant to be

The threats ain't fazin us, the nooses or the jokes

Get off your ass black people it's time to get out and vote

Paint the White House black and I'm sure that's got 'em terrified

McCain don't belong in ANY chair unless he's paralyzed

Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped

Ball up all of his speeches and just throw 'em like candy wraps

Cause what you talkin I hear nothin even relevant

And you the worst of all 43 Presidents

Get out and vote, or the end'll be near

And the world is ready for change cause Obama is here

YEAHHH! Cause Obama is here

The world is ready for change cause Obama is here

Yeahhhh, cause Obama is here

Say world is ready for change cause Obama is here

Hey!
