Celebrating HH50 week by bringing back some of Rolling Stone's most iconic rap covers. 📖 issue 637, FINALLEVEL Read the incredible 1992 interview:
But the main reason they went after this record is because of the shit that was coming down and is still going down today. They’re yelling about a record that came out in March, and just yesterday the cops were killing people out in the street. They’re under the gun, and the best defense is a good offense, so what they’ve done is taken Americans’ minds and said, “Look at this record, look at how people are treating us.
Why do you think they make so sure to attach that word “rap” to these things? Is that just a straight racist ploy?in America has a racial tone to it, so it’s not even necessary for me to say that. It’s a black guy, a rapper, making this type of record, so it must be making black kids want to kill cops.
Aside from this issue, there’s so much focus on politics and rap. Does it feel like that’s all you get to talk about? There’s a lot of shit I don’t really like, like speaking on yet, it’s still too heavy. They really got to know that I got a lot more shit heavier to say than “Cop Killer.” People are truly fed up, man. You got to remember that half the people in the ghetto got somebody who’s in jail, and then they see these people walk free. Their cousin and uncle and daddy’s locked up for some bullshit, and then they see these politicians getting away with it. They’re just fed up.
This country was founded on the things I talk about. I learned it in school. Paul Revere was running around saying, “The redcoats is coming,” so he was basically saying, “Here come the pigs, and a fuckup is going down.” We had a revolution or else we would be under the queen at this moment. That was a revolutionary thought, and those were very honorable thoughts in those days, the Boston Tea Party, all that shit. We just celebrated July 4th, which is really just national Fuck the Police Day.
