George Floyd should not have been murdered by a cop. To use excessive force where so many have been educated on positional asphyxiation - in 2020 is completely backwards. Barbaric even. The cops involved must face the natural consequences of their actions. It's my hope that this is the last time this happens. Basquiat's "Death of Michael Stewart" - a painting of a graffiti artist killed by NYPD in 1983 was also created in 1983. That's 37 years ago! People dying at the hands of cops has to stop. I get cops having to protect themselves when their own lives are in danger. However in alot of cases their lives are not threatened in the slightest, and people still die in their hands. This has to stop. Peace and blessings.

Honestly this is why I been feeling Hip Hop has lost it's way for many years now. Conscious lyricism or Black Struggle content isn't selling for these labels so they push the most ignorant sh!t possible. There has to be balance, you can have the party, club or even gangsta records but there must always be black empowerment somewhere in your music. We use to get songs about the police and racism constantly growing up in the 80's and 90's. Matter a fact most rappers had a specific "Police Diss" or a "Struggle in the Hood because of poverty and racism or system" on their albums.
A lot of these rappers today don't want the rock the boat or mess up their "Bag". There are rappers speaking out but that isn't the point. The Music has been losing it's revolutionary spirit for a while now. In 1995, Rappers came together for the "Panther Soundtrack" speak about Black power and police brutality. It would be nice for a song like that to happen today. I doubt it though because there are rappers more worried about their "Brand" or losing dough than the struggle. Hopefully this situation could bring a collaboration like this again, That's sad it will take this but I hope it's a wake up call.
Even in 2000, 5 years later, Rappers came together and made a Police Brutality EP after the Death Amadou Diallo.
