ST. LOUIS — It didn’t take long for the lyrics to begin flowing from this city’s hip-hop scene to the streets.
In the past 11 days, several tracks referencing the death of Michael Brown have surfaced, a spontaneous, organic and visceral reflection of what has been happening in Ferguson, Mo., since the 18-year-old African American was shot by a white police officer. The music — at least 10 songs, almost one a day — covers a range of emotions: anger and outrage, sadness and grief, and outright rebellion

You mean the pain the police officer is feeling in the destruction of his eye orbital?
Another dysfunctional role model for black kids!
Oh stop the insanity good Lord
The “black President” was supposed to be the cure-all, remember that?
You got that and the rest of us suffered and yet you still bitch and moan like the children you are.
“Artists” my backside. “Hip Hop” What a load of crap. Grow up.
Speaking as a real artist I resent these hip hop clowns being called artists!
Urban black culture celebrates thuggery ... and people wonder why urban black culture is mired in dependency and squalor.
Well it sure is painful to my ears.
Useless crap.
Speaking as a music aficionado, I resent this crap being called music!
Then they went right back to rapping about bitches, weed and hos.
Speaking of the cop’s injuries, I sure wish the media would show us some pictures. There is an incredible lack of balance in the stories being reported.
Whether this was a justifiable police shooting has yet to be determined by the ongoing investigation.

Rap is full of lyrics about violence to cops, violence to women, violence in general. We learned that Michael Brown was an aspiring rapper, as if that somehow gives us a positive view of the character of this young man.
“Yo - if you shove a cop in his car
And then punch his head
And try to steal his gun
You gonna end up dead
The looting will start up mighty fast
All them big screen TVs will be “free at last”.
-The artist formerly known as Junk Silver
Of course to naive liberal whites, they think aspiring rappers are all like Run DMC.
Word!
YO YO YO YO!!
were it that I knew the current “Phrase of Praise”... for “rappers”
I’m DOWUN with that!!
