Slap-Boxing With Jesus

One Day It’ll All Make Sense

I guess that in between all the hoopla from the Korean student that ethered the Virginia Tech campus because they took the Dance Dance Revolution out of the school arcade and Jay-Z planning to ditch his BFF LA Reid at Def Jam for Beyoncé and Joe Jackson Jr., nobody seemed to notice that police claim to have found the murderer of Run DMC's Jam Master Jay.While the jig implicated is probably receiving dry butt service from his inmate as you probably read this shit (pause), you have to assume if charging a guy already in prison is nothing more than giving up on a murder you and I know will never be solved while the real killer still runs free.

Like most people, I was a bit sad when I heard the news that Jay died (it also didn’t help that I had lost a close friend and a cousin the week before). But like most people, I started to not give a shit when I saw Reverend Run’s bitch-ass son crying over a game of bowling on MTV a few years later. I’m pretty sure if Jay were around, he’d have probably slapped the shit out of him. But I digress.

I had hoped that finding his killer (albeit someone who’s already in prison) would perhaps shed some light on an altogether tragic trend in hip-hop where both rappers and piff pocketers alike are getting their proverbial kufis popped off, or even show some proof that the police don’t spend their entire day killing random-ass immigrants. But as it turns out, the feds are also planning on indicting a bunch of rappers in the coming months for their roles in violent acts. While this may sound like good news to parents who fear that their children will get slapped up or shot by Tony Yayo on their way to school, you have to wonder if this is just another mark on the long list of vendettas cops have against rappers.

Not that I wouldn’t mind, of course. With rappers getting nothing more than slaps on the wrists for doing shit you and I would get years for in the pen (read: lots and lots of dry butt sex. Pause.), you have to wonder how far they would push it before finally facing the possibility of being used as currency in Rikers. I’m pretty sure I couldn’t get away with peeing on a teenager going on five years now. And now that emperor of black people Al Sharpton plans on holding his own witch-hunt on rappers who use the term “nappy-headed hoes” in their lyrics, it’s only a matter of time before police don’t even need a legitimate reason to start molly whopping the average Joe. Wait a minute...
