You should know something about me: I cannot resist songs about how much the police suck. NWA's classic, of course, and also Public Enemy's 911 is a joke, but today let's focus on KRS-One, mostly because this week he announced that he's writing a hip-hop religion bible, as in a bible of the hip-hop religion, and we should remember that beyond being completely insane he's a really good rapper. The angle he takes in this song, one I really dig, is that modern day police "officers" are outgrowths of the plantation's "overseer." He has a pretty wild way of making this argument, but that is just the man KRS-One is, and I love him so much more for it. Enjoy.

It's always something different on Saturdays. In honour of the times, Benjy's word is cronus.
Theme weeks are what we should strive for, I'd really dig on that.
Nice song, BTW.
Yeah Aaron Love's been 'whoop whooping' a lot this week. I blame Girl Talk.
