"Murder Rap"

[jpf]

I think I saw a video on youtube a couple weeks ago when I was searching for local stuff that similar or maybe the same as the one the police investigating although it didnt look like they was threatening police... but after the news last night I was looking for it, came across something named "serious" when i searched for Trinidad rap but it look like they remove it.

anyone see it? or have another link to it?

MURDER RAP

Philbert launches probe into violent Internet video

Tuesday, August 26th 2008


Acting Police Commissioner James Philbert has launched an investigation into the individuals appearing in a locally produced music video currently circulating on YouTube, which contains threats against the lives of police officers and a recently murdered gang leader.

"I have just looked at the video and we are in the process of identifying the area," Philbert said yesterday.

Confirming it is in fact the St Barb's Police Post in the video background, Philbert said pictures of the men will be distributed to various police stations.

"It is a cause for concern, we are seeing the guns and hearing what appears to be gunshots. This just goes to show these men believe that the best way to depict their lawlessness is through song," Philbert said.

The video, which appears to have been shot in Laventille, features the voices of young men "freestyling" (composing lyrics on the spur of the moment) about "killing babylon". Babylon is a Jamaican term used to describe police officers. The video also showcases 9 mm pistols and explicit lyrics and the echoing of gunshots.




"What is even more frightening is that they (singers in the video) are holding what appears to be authentic firearms," Warner-Paul said.

The association, he said, is once again renewing its call for officers to be careful whilst on and off duty. However, Warner-Paul said the lyrics voiced in the video should not be taken for granted.


Lyrics


Chorus

We ah go shoot b****man anywhere

Cudjoe and Babylon dem know them have fi dead

Dem sell out de youths dem to de feds (2X)

We ah go shoot p**** anywhere

Cudjoe and Babylon them know them have fi dead

Dem sell out de youths dem to de feds (2X)


Verse One

I'm a big boy rider

Gunshot survior, spit , biting hooks similar to barb wire

I told these f**** I ain't casting plastic

F*** with everything and you going to get ur a** kicked

Now we the best like RUN DMC, and when I step in the club I run de MC

Got these b****** in the back screaming LVT (Laventille for life)

Yuh all know who I be, is S***** and Z**** B

Hush

Before you get boxed down, I'm still working that Laventille

Trini rudeboyz say **** the Hampton

N****** carrying news like S****** N*****

I'm winning in this game so call me Winston

Disrespect I slap you down like honies did to that Indian

T&T win World Cup.... I stop rapping

Grassroots signing de dot...it never happen , b****


Chorus


N****** getting chopped up

Games so f***** up

You want to go to war but your team is locked up

I got kids on my team with one hand in a cast, got a Tech in the next and they ain't scared to blast...

Now I am hanging with my man I got my mojo back

F*** these n*****s only talking mojo jojo rap

It aint the same hot verse I shoulda sing another one

Anyone better than me, yo they better come

Guardian newspapers rate me as a veteran

Ask Ato Boldon I aint scared , I aint never run

I tote Laventille in my arms just like a baby

I smoke and drink rum and people say I'm crazy

I'm buring all your cds like N** in here

Then I s*** on ur team like a diarrhoea

My flow is messed up like ur girl dirty ***

One in meh hand one in meh pram de next one by she auntie


S****z I know its not easy to be living in de ghetto

I've been through the struggle and I would not forget

When we buss shots out ..... and dey peep through de window

(Gunshots heard)

Yuh hear how it echo


Chorus

[Chicabonita]

I tried to look for it but I couldn't find it.

It was deleted?

[jpf]

[BW]

I saw it; it sucked.

[deathwinger]

I'm winning in this game so call me Winston

Disrespect I slap you down like honies did to that Indian


And what exactly is this supposed to mean?

[Scorpio]

Art imitates life, not the other way around. I hate this artform, but I stand firmly behind freedom of expression.

There is no issue here people, move on to your next 9 day wonder.

[Solachica]

They getting the attention they want.

People wud know who they are but yet no one wud say who they are.

The man step up and apologize today. He claims he never permission for the video to be released, and further he supports the police. They did a short video segment on Gayelle (which you can view at the link below).

Apologise my arse! He is just another byproduct of the PNM government's policies. Nothing will come out of this even though he should atleast be charged with using obscene language and spreading hate. He is a criminal and looks the part.
