The Game - Sean Bell Tribute
April 29, 2008
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.”
