In the wake of the Sean Bell verdict in New York Gamewants to premiere his street record call “911 is a joke”

(Cop Killer), which addresses the controversial verdict.

Like his Compton predecessors N.W.A., who released

their classic single “F**k Tha Police” in 1988, The Game

addresses police tactics and violence on the track,

which also features Black Wall Street artist Clyde

Carson.

“I’m outraged and speaking out for my generation that are

afraid to speak out against police brutality and murder,”

The Game told AllHipHop.com. “I grew up in Compton and

had to stay silent because of the fear that was

prevalent in my community, but now that I have a voice I’m

speaking out.”

Three plainclothes undercover officers were found not

guilty of Bell’s murder, which has sparked worldwide

outrage. Bell was shot was and killed in November of

2006 after leaving a Queens, New York strip club where

he was celebrating his bachelor party. The three

detectives fired a barrage of bullets at Bell, killing him

and seriously wounding two of Bell’s companions. All

three men were unarmed.

“This could have easily been me, my brother, my family. So

this song is for Sean Bell from my heart,” The Game

continued. “My deepest condolences goes out to his

family and wife Nicole Bell.”
