I want to know if half of these cats speaking out even knew about Sean Bell when he actually died.

I really really really hope he was filming a music video or some shit.
If he hadn't been looking like a mime and hadn't talked for almost 8 minutes, I might have been interested.

HELLA people still use the hard "a" sound when pronouncing Arabic words.
Iraq as eye-rack instead of e-rock
Iran as eye-ran instead e-ron (farsi word, but same pronunciation)
Barack as ba-rack instead of bah-rock
People used to say that the old Bush used to intentionally mispronounce Saddam Hussein's name just as a point of disrespect.

seriously tho what point were u trying to make? isn't the movement of people outraged by the acquittal at least pretty parallel to the initial movements when the shooting happened?

No.
I think he's suggesting it isn't, and I would have to (at least somewhat) agree. There was a fair amount of publicity and uproar about the incident when it occured, but there wasn't the same kind of outcry from artists. Yes there have been plenty of Sean Bell songs & references, before this verdict, but they have definitely risen exponentially since the verdict. Now, that's somewhat to be expected. But I think the point Gloss is trying to make is that if artists had been this vocal from the beginning there would've been a larger movement around this subject. Speaking on it now, they come off as reasonably outraged by the incompetance of the justice system, but a little bit opportunistic at the same time.
- Anybody remember whether the Hip Hop for Respect EP Rawkus put out was released after the shooting or after the verdict?

it's true.
don't want to add fuel to any bad joke/gay flames... but the reaction of hip hop right now is ten times that of when it actually happened.
only a handful of MCs (Joe Buddens types) were saying anything about it when Sean Bell was initially shot.
now, it's crazy.
but regardless, i'm glad people are rapping about this instead of whatever other dumb bullshit they might have been spitting in the last few months... even if this is a 2 week fad, it's bringing us closer together as a community and showing more social awareness than usual, which is never a bad thing, no matter what
and hip hop vocalizing its outrage is, on one level, better than rioting
i hope this is a landmark moment for the return of a certain amount of worldly consciousness in this culture

i dunno....it seems natural to me that you' d have more outrage after the acquittals than before, because you now have 2 injustices in one....thus pissing off anyone who wasn't quite THAT outraged yet...
not that i don't think most these artists are opportunistic as fuck anyway...just sayin

Oh, right. I mean, three cops firing fifty shots at one man isn't injustice enough.

I don't disagree with that, BUT most of these artists never even mentioned the incident before Friday's acquittal, that's a little disengenious I think.

You're speaking for yourself here, and it shows in your musical output.
