Fuck the police

for trying to lock these kids up for hitting one of them with a snowball by accident. ARE YOU SERIOUS??? This bitch ass cop got hit with frozen water and wants to waste the city's money by housing these 4 kids in jail for it. This world is truly ass backward smdh. I hope we have another big snow storm in the city so that I can slap the sh*t out of a transit cop with a snowball...

Four Bronx buddies are facing a year in jail for criminal possession of a weapon - a snowball that hit an off-duty transit cop.

The young men say they were horsing around in the late February storm when an errant snowball smacked Officer Adonis Ramirez in the leg.

Next thing they knew, he was waving a gun at them and calling for backup. Now they're facing a slew of charges and readying a $10 million suit against the city.

"When I was in Central Booking, people asked me what I was locked up for, and I said a snowball," said Johnathan Rodriguez, 22. "Everyone started laughing."

The NYPD doesn't think it's a joke.

A police source said the cop, who was in street clothes, was barraged with snowballs and taunts and chased down the street "in a threatening manner."

The Bronx district attorney has no plans to drop charges against the four friends, three of whom have prior arrests for minor incidents.

"You would think that the NYPD would focus on real crimes and not on young men playing in the snow during a nor'easter," said lawyer Neil Wollerstein.

He's planning to hit the city with a $10 million false arrest and malicious prosecution suit on behalf of the four and a 15-year-old pal who was arrested but had the charges dropped in Family Court.

"The DA's office is prosecuting nonsense here."

The group says Ramirez was the one who behaved badly - failing to identify himself as a cop when he pulled out a gun and ordered them to the ground.

"He screamed, 'You don't know who I am,'" said Manuel Rondon, 18, a student at Monroe College.

"He pulled out the gun and aimed it at me when he was 3 feet away. I thought he was going to kill me."

"I thought he was some drug dealer who was going to shoot me in the head and walk away," said Christian Perez, 19. "We only hit him once, and it was by mistake."

Ariel Lopez, a 17-year-old senior at Jane Addams High School, said he and the others "were all really scared."

Police sources said Ramirez, on the force since July 2003, was leaving a friend's apartment when he encountered the group.

"After passing them, he's hit in the back with several snowballs," a police source said.

"He continues walking toward his car despite them yelling that he's a bitch."

After the cop heard the group run toward him, he identified himself as a cop and called 911, summoning officers who arrested the snowball-throwers, the source said.

The criminal complaint says Ramirez told cops someone in the group said, "Let's jump him" in Spanish - though the defendants point out only one of them speaks the language.

Rodriguez, Rondon, Perez and Lopez were taken to the 44th Precinct stationhouse and charged with weapons possession, attempted assault, menacing and harassment.

Lopez and Rodriguez each have a prior arrest, but the charges were dismissed after they stayed out of trouble for a year. Rondon has a criminal trespassing case that was slated to be dismissed in May.

Rodriguez filed a civilian complaint against Ramirez, and he and his friends think the NYPD should discipline the jumpy cop.

"He shouldn't be able to carry a gun again," said Perez. "I don't think he should be able work on the streets."

Music Monday: Raekwon x Wynton Marsalis "You Don't Know What Love Is, Lizz" mixed by Shay

Miss Shay — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 16:15:00 GMT

RAEKWON X WYNTON MARSALIS "YOU DON'T NOW WHAT LOVE IS, LIZZ"

See what had happened was...

I was listening to some jazz while editing at work. I do this often, it adds a little excitement to the mostly boring edits that keep me chained to my desk for hours at a time. While waiting for my project to save I stumbled upon this new Raekwon track called "Lizz". I hit play forgetting that I was still listening to my jazz station. The song playing was "You Don't Know What Love Is" by Wynton Marsalis. I let them both rock out together and to my surprise they sounded really good. Too good. For a second I thought the horns were apart of the Raekwon song lol. So what did I do? I opened another session in Adobe Audition, slapped the 2 tracks together (I started the Rae song from the beginning, the WM song is a live version that's about 12 mins long so I tried to go to the part of the song that I had originally heard) mixed them down and titled it "You Don't Know What Love Is, Lizz". So simple a cave man can do it...

BUT the hole gets deeper...

Here's how I see it. My version of the 2 songs combined is a conversation about love between Raekwon, Wynton and homegirl singing the hook (let's call her, oh I don't know, Lizz). Rae is talking about love from his point of view. The raw, fast paced, young, passionate love in a way that a lot of the new generation can understand. Wynton never speaks but uses his horn to explain the way love should be. Slow, easy, soothing but still very passionate. They are both fighting for the attention of the chick singing the hook (Lizz)...well sort of. Rae is a young dude (in the story) and just wants to fuck Lizz. Like many guys he'll say anything to get what he wants while Wynton is a bit older and is trying to warn her about Rae and guys like him. Wynton's "words" are always trailing behind her, almost pleading with her to listen but in the end she chooses to take on the challenge that is Raekwon..."Rae Rae, you got me...". They ride off into the sunset leaving Wynton to tell the world their story through his music.

Yuuuuuuup.

It's crazy how well these two random songs can mesh so well together in more ways than one : ) Now THAT'S a "Music Monday" fo yo ass!

Carry on.

Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child documentary

Miss Shay — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 02:15:00 GMT

Gotta love Swizz Beatz on twitter. He's always pumping those artistic tweets. I didn't even know about this documentary featuring never before seen footage of the late artist Jean Michel Basquiat but I'm glad he mentioned it. It was shown at the 2010 Sundance film festival and I'm hoping it will be released worldwide very soon.

In case you're wondering...

Not the same version used in the documentary but it's a cool song.
