as the daughter, niece, and sister of police officers, I do not in any way approve of the lyrics calling for violence against the police.
but artists have been using violence and explicit lyrics in the past, so it's not a new thing rap is doing.. you may remember when Tipper Gore founded a group to put warning labels on music with explicit lyrics or advocating violence. she was prompted by listening to a Prince song, Darling Nikki. As you may recall, it didn't stop Prince from performing at the Super Bowl. he was not the only one with such lyrics:They criticized her and the PMRC for issuing the “Filthy Fifteen,” a list of artists whose works regularly included explicitly sexual or violent material. Artists on the list included AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Def Leppard, Sheena Easton, Judas Priest, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, the Mary Jane Girls, Merrcyful Fate, Motley Crue, Prince, Twisted Sister, Vanity, Venom, and W.A.S.P. Gore was criticized harshly for her actions.
I was at a Janis Joplin concert in 1969 and she was famous for her sexualized actions on stage and police actually came onto the stage to stop the concert. she actually starting threatening them with a drum stick. what a show.
