B. Dolan - Film The Police
Artist: B. Dolan
Featuring: Toki Wright , Sage Francis
Producer: Buddy Peace
Album: None (Promo Single)
Label: Strange Famous Records
The police have handguns, Kevlar vests, horses, batons, shotguns and pepper spray, but the people have something that can be even more powerful; video cameras. For his latest effort the always unapologetically revolutionary B. Dolan flips N.W.A.s classic anti-cop anthem F**k the Police into a motto for the digital age. Film the Police finds producer Buddy Peace remixing Dr. Dre’s classic beat into a head nod inducing beat, setting up Sage Francis to kick off the festivities with an opening monologue that also serves as a hip-hop roll call. From there headliner Dolan reminds listeners just how powerful even an iPhone camera can be - “We aimin lenses at the state’s weapon / till they remember whose streets they’re protecting” - sentiments that Rhymesayers standout Toki Wright and Jasiri X echo in verses that double as political calls to action. While Film the Police isn’t part of a larger album, it is part of a larger movement. Occupy all streets, occupy hip-hop or simply occupy your block. Whatever it is you stand for, just make sure you stand for something. And wherever you go, don’t forget that camera.

A very relevant, timely, and entertaining take on the NWA classic. I had an enjoyable time listening/watching.

I think the message is pretty cool, but the beat is super old-school (on purpose, I know, but still) and the flow as old-school to match it. Not really my type of track. I think there is so much music out there right now, that we have a right to be selective and we should get something that is the full package (sound, message, flow, swagger), and this falls short in all categories but one...

Lyrical content is dope but I agree with djblaze.... everything else is lacking. The most effective way to get your message across is to serve it on a platter that the public will receive. Keep pushing though
