RAPPER WOULDN'T HELP POLICE CATCH EVEN A SERIAL KILLER

[freshnesschronic]

I understand. Most people here will probably strongly disagree, but I know what Cam'ron's talking about. It's a social code for the people living in the projects, ghettos or slums. It's like, the police, the Man, they don't help you, so why should you help them.

Personally, I don't think I'd tell someone if a serial killer lived next to me. I'd be afraid of getting killed. Plus that's a freaking HUGE accusation.

Come on, you wouldn't tell someone if there was a serial killer living next door. I understand the code of The Jungle and all, but when it comes to offing a bunch of folks.... your ass is going to jail if I can help it.

I was showing this thread to a friend the other night (who happens to be black and grew up in the 'hood), and we both came up with the same conclusions:

--We understand why some stick by the code of the streets.
--But Cam'ron and others who believe like him shouldn't. The police can be fucked up, but they ain't that fucked up.
