Papoose puts it better in rhyme than anybody can in prose.
November 30th, 2006 at 12:37 am

..es imma be tha first to commend you on this thread..jus like pap was a sparkplug w/ this track, you one as well w/ ya efforts by tryin to open up tha hip hop communities eyes..
..i think shit needs to pop off..more people who got access to general publics such as yourself, not just rappers, should be involved in this effort…as does everyone..
..i seen this shit first hand here..i witnessed tha riots in 2001 after tha law enforcement shot and killed Timothy Thomas..
..shit is sickenin fam..
R.I.P. SEAN BELL, TIMOTHY THOMAS, and those who were victims of tha pigs
November 30th, 2006 at 12:51 am
..i seen this shit first hand here..i witnessed tha riots in 2001 after tha law enforcement shot and killed Timothy Thomas..
Yo that was a fucked situation breh I read about that the time……
We had our fair share of this bullshit in London too, Brixton Riots the Stephen Lawrence murder……..give any muthafucka the power over another, be it black or white or whatever colour and them muthafuckas are gonna abuse that power……..muthafuck The Filth….
Cal good lookin out son on that mixtape………

November 30th, 2006 at 1:08 am
Why Raekwon dissin Jay? whats good wit these catrs, isnt he showin ghost mad love? damn
November 30th, 2006 at 1:14 am
Who is that 1st dude talkin in the Raekwon clip? It sound like Kay Slay, the dude he said “I didnt know u was gonna say that” to?
November 30th, 2006 at 1:17 am
Es, keep the info coming…Thank God someone did a track about that shooting..If you live in NYC and follow the papers you know this shit is a BIG deal and a FUCK up deal…Five 0 out in Jamaicia are definitely bugging and trigger happy…To reload your clip and bust 50 shots is to quote “overkill”…Something needs to be done and God Bless Papoose for making the track….In my opionion, Hip Hop needs to put out more music with regards to awareness and less BLING BLING bullshit….Shit is going on in the streets , dudes needs to voice it to the people…

X, ain’t that the truth. NYPD is on some bullshit. They always have been though..
November 30th, 2006 at 1:22 am
I would love Nasty Nas to get on some shit and do the track about shit, being he from Queens and ol’…” and yo, go to hell to the foul cop that shot Garcia”….word!!!
November 30th, 2006 at 1:25 am
Seriously Es, this shit is just on called for… Five O think there cowboys….It’s not like they beat him up…They killed him the night before his wedding day…No joke, hip hop , especially NYC hip hop needs to get on there jobs…
sidenote: that sam cooke sample is my shit…
November 30th, 2006 at 1:29 am
I like the track’s message and all of the tracks facts are interesting like the cops gettin drunk and all that, I’d like to see how this turns out forreal, I really wanna see whats gonna go down about this.
Pap cant really rap to me though, am I the only one?
November 30th, 2006 at 1:34 am
I’m with ya B.Payton….I’m not really into Papoose but my hat goes off to him for addressing this major issue and rapping abouthings other than his BLING…
sidenote: he’s a little stiff with his flow , to me…
November 30th, 2006 at 1:38 am
>>Pap cant really rap to me though, am I the only one?
of course he can rap, lets not be ridiculous. if you dont like his style thats one thing, but give the kid his due.
November 30th, 2006 at 1:38 am
hit the bar a litle too har d tongight… but i remain ill… Nas joint was decent, it on purpose lacks the fireworks and starpower of the current shit and is censored smh…. but fuckit. shit bangs.
*snikers at jay sellin 680K and es bustin in his pants and making a whole post about jay selling 800+
haa you cant fade me… im already fadeddddddddddddddd
November 30th, 2006 at 1:40 am
oh yea i read all the comments that i missed.. nahright is like a tv show or some shit and i gotta check up and make sure none of yall talkin reckless when im not watchin.
November 30th, 2006 at 2:13 am
papoose often finds himself victim to the XXL “step his rap game up”, he often thinks his punchlines are “punchier” than they are…
ex: “I keep a tek high, like the producer” wack.
ex: “I’ll have you seeing defeat, like a foot doctor” even more wack
PS: “punchier”
big upz tho for addressing this tragic incident. Its time for a riot!
November 30th, 2006 at 2:33 am
>>>papoose often finds himself victim to the XXL “step his rap game upâ€, he often thinks his punchlines are “punchier†than they are…
I may agree with u a little bit but u didn’t quote him right.
ex “u a leg shooter u aim ur gun low I aim a tek high I keep a high tek like the producer” “c” pap
November 30th, 2006 at 5:36 am

November 30th, 2006 at 8:31 am
That strip club that he got shot up at is wilder than a mother fucker. They have been trying to close that club up for months.

How come 50 CEnt, who is from Jamaica Queens hasn’t done a song….he’s wuick with the bullshit but can’t call attention to something horrible that happened in his own backyard??? I guess when he said “Fuck The Hood” he really meant it….

You should hear the Otis Redding rendition.

How can any of you cats on here post material that has nothin to do with the subject of what you are listening to. Save that for your own blogs or another subject. Stick to the program and pay respects man. Thanks for Papoose for taking his time out and respecting what is right. NY is going thru a hard time right now and its not easy to shake off. RIP to Sean. Keep your posts abt Jay Z, 50 Cent and whoever else for their headline not this one. Stick to the subject and pay respect! Im out…..
November 30th, 2006 at 1:18 pm
Pap did his thing on this. Well said, well done!
November 30th, 2006 at 1:49 pm
@engineer,
how u gonna say this shit
“How come 50 CEnt, who is from Jamaica Queens hasn’t done a song”
then agree with the cat who called Pap a hypocrite for doing a song about it?
i’ll call pap a hypocrite but at the same time im not asking why another rapper (especially 50 cent) isnt making a song about it!
My prayers are with Bells friends and family.
the cop who fired the first shots fucked up and put the rest of the sad and violent tragedy in motion. that club is seedy as fuck and undercovers have been up in alot of spots in queens arresting ppl but this arrest went down the way it did cause of the ONE undercover (who wasnt white) who didnt follow proper procedure.
u know shit is messed up when u got cops saying they were firing their weapons cause they were “disoriented by friendly fire”. I’m not even saying hes a bad cop. He might have believed Bell or someone in the car had a weapon and his life or someone elses life was in danger BUT regardless the undercover fucked up by not following proper procedure. (assuming he did not properly identify himself as an undercover)

^^ too funny. The same Rae that’s around Jay’s age and still rapping about kilos and boat loads of coke…lol. Jay has some right to be critcized to some extent, but for what Rae raps about at his age, he’s the wrong guy.
November 30th, 2006 at 10:29 pm
RIP Sean Bell
December 1st, 2006 at 2:39 pm
Ight all ya not seein da point. Combat situation ya’ll. Cant say the cops was wrong here. Dees followed them out cause the here going to get heat to take care of some next beef with some next group they were beefin wit inside da club. Now knowin that they heard all that, thats why they did what they did. Cmon think ya’ll, if you were the boyz would you want to get got or try to protect yourself…he odeed tryin to run people over. Shyt its only like 3 thousand pound dangerous weapon, that will kill you as fast as a burner…real talk ya’ll
December 2nd, 2006 at 6:47 pm
The Undercovers were in the club on a drug and prostitution sting, so why were they gettin their nose in something that had NOTHING to do with why they were there? And if Sean Bell wasnt drunk (im not sure) how the hell do you drive into a minivan UNLESS its trying to block the road? Basically DTs are dirty people who live above the law.

I am very proud of Hip Hop for using their voice for greatness and standing for up injustice(with the exception of Kay Slay referring to black guys as Ns instead men) because these accidental shootings are not going to happen to Ian or Justin, if they wave a wallet or leave their bachelor’s party, until the mountains are as low as the valleys and when black people are able to walk freely will then Martin dreams come centerfold.

I want to have my DNA taken to the far ends of the Milkyway. Someone should order small plastic vials from the manufacturer using the green Thomas industrial catolog at the public library, look up vials /plastic. Next have someone make a kids rubber helium party baloon that is 1 inch bigger when its inflated so it goes higher in the sky. Have it made with glow in the dark stuff that shines at night. It will take two rubber baloons tied together to carry up the plastic vial taped to one of the baloons. Proceed to get poke-em lancets from the drug store to prick your finger. Now Space-Aliens flying in invisible craft in Earths skies could retrieve a drop of your blood when you release the baloons over the desert or nature park. Go ahead and dab a drop of blood onto the surface of the baloon instead if you want, then only one baloon is needed. Your baloon might be recognized by the Aliens up there. Or you might find the whole idea a bad thing. Should people who believe there is Aliens visiting our solor system send out a spacecraft way past Pluto that has a supply of fruit tree, vegetable and berry seeds so the Extra-terrestial star travellers can take it home?

I wrote “50 Bullets” a day after the shooting because I believe the death/murder of Sean Bell is a tragedy of “shakespearean proportions,” for like Romeo and Juliet this young couple got caught up in society’s contentions. Meanwhile, there have been 5 or 6 more preventable police shootings since this happened. These types of actions by the “authorities” breed hopelessness and a sense of desperation that just creates more crime and institutes the cycle of poverty we see. I also believe that we all have to unite against hate. If he were alive today, Shakespeare himself would have probably remembered that it was at the wedding celebration where Christ performed his first feat. Well, how ironic is this? For a miracle is what we need now if we’re going to get any justice and heal all the pain caused by this shooting. How do we prevent this from happening agian? Herein lies the real crime: “complacency.” Some say it’s a “crime” and some say it’s a “tragedy. ” Visit my page, check out my song and tell me what do you think? -Yardmon50
