Fuck That... I'm Tellin


April 26, 2007 | Tags: Hip Hop, stop snitchin, bullshit
In the wake of Killa Cam making an ass of himself on national TV, my new motto for the 07 is simply this:

Fuck that... I'm tellin.

Let me explain to y'all where I'm coming from:

1. I'm not from the hood, nor do I wish to go there. The code of the streets is not one I've ever had to live by (and if I told you otherwise, I'd be lying)

2. This is not a diss to anybody that lives or lived in the hood, I'm just not from there.

3. Fuck that, I'm tellin...

I live in a relatively safe neighborhood and I'd like to keep it that way. The reason a lot of niggas get told on is because they're sloppy ass criminals. They make it REAL easy drawing a bunch of attention to themselves and then want to take it out on the rest of the neighborhood.

Fuck that, I'm tellin.

The serial killer next door is getting reported.

The trap house across the street

If my own children (whenever I have any) are running illegal shit from the house, they're going to jail too (Scared Straight was enough for me back in the day).

As I get older, I give a fuck less about being "cool" and a whole lot about "safety." It's the reason I pay a little more in rent so I can reside next to other people that just want to go to work and enjoy the fruits of their labor without all the other drama.

To all the people who are honestly afraid to talk to the police, I don't knock y'all for doing so. It'd be real easy for somebody like me (or Anderson Cooper) to come out against it, but let's be honest, I don't live in an area where I'm worried about retribution for reporting something (gotta love living around white folks, if the police get called in my area, they're probably coming to my house). On the other hand, it's morally right to talk to the police if you've seen something, but if safety is the concern, I don't really knock you for not saying anything.

But to the suburban kid walking around with a "Stop Snitchin" shirt, sit yo ass down. YOU don't have to cooperate, because either A) your interactions with the police will be next to nothing and or B)your parents will do all the talking.

To the emcees that talk about not snitching but body 50 niggas in every 16, sit yo ass down too. If it weren't for 1st Amendment protections, damn near every rapper on a major label would be indicted (and I really think some of these folks have confessed to real crimes on wax).

Fuck that... I'm tellin
