KRS-One - Sound of Da Police

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.
