Cuomo has policing powwow with rap mogul (and ex-crack dealer)
NY Post ^

When you need advice on a subject, you go to an expert.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo did just that when he had a policy meeting on the subject of how cops enforce the laws with hip-hop mogul Jay Z — who earned most of his expertise in crime as a crack dealer.

The governor’s spokeswoman, Melissa DeRosa, on Wednesday described their confab in Cuomo’s Midtown office as “productive.’’

The two discussed “a top-to-bottom review of the criminal justice system and how we can all work together to pass a reform package,” she said.

The rapper built his musical career on songs about his past criminal exploits slinging crack in Brooklyn’s Marcy housing project.

One online report lists 187 references to crack or cocaine on his 12 solo albums, including last year’s chart-topping “Magna Carta Holy Grail.”

In addition to his rap boasts about drug dealing, his criminal justice experience includes being charged with stabbing people and bashing them on their heads with bottles at his favorite city nightclubs.

During a Wednesday news conference outside City Hall, Russell Simmons said Cuomo “made a commitment to immediately promote an executive order to get special prosecutors for any of these cases where police brutality is charged.”

That's an awesome idea Andy - you'll essentially need a special prosecuter for every case!

Maybe your crackdealer partner on police reform will have similar ideas to advance your mutual goal of leveling the playing field between police and criminals.

Yeah....

Most cats have a permanent smile. That cat was born that way.

She looks cute though.

Whatever crimes JayZ got up to, he couldn’t touch Cuomo’s looting billions as Clinton’s HUD Secretary.
