It looks like New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, has found the perfect ally in rap mogul Shawn Carter. The Brooklyn boy is at again, and only reaffirming just how powerful his reach really is. From the projects to talking politics: Jay Z delivers statement on NYC’s new proposed reform police plan. With Jay stepping forward, serving as a very influential voice to those in inner city communities, it appears that Governor Cuomo just may have the right person with the right amount of clout to back him. Peep what HOV had to say on the subject of the new proposed police reform, and what this will mean for our communities inside.
In lieu of this rising count of police incidents that have resulted in the deaths of unarmed minorities at the hands of law enforcement, such a Staten Island victim Eric Garner. As we know, the grand jury passed down a no indictment decision which sent the community reeling and filled with anguish. Well reformed D boy and business mogul Jay released a statement regarding Governor Cuomo’s new proposed seven-point package to reform the relations between the police and the public.
Vlad TV reports….
According to Billboard, the Brooklyn rapper released a statement after Cuomo’s State of the State address this week. Some of the governor’s key points in his package include a special prosecutor to investigate special cases similar to the Eric Garner incident last July. He also suggests that an independent group would look into cases that involved the death of an unarmed civilian or cases that don’t end up in front of a grand jury.
“I commend Governor Cuomo for his bold leadership in taking this issue head on at this critical time,” the BK rapper said in a statement to Capitol Confidential. “This package presents comprehensive steps to protect and improve relations amongst all citizens. We cannot be divided, as every single human being matters. Together, we can move forward as a community, with mutual respect for each other and continue to make this great state stronger than ever before.”
This is a great look for Hip Hop, but even more so for our community. What’s your take of the new proposed police reform plan? Share your thoughts.
The press & media are just as guilty as these dirty cops, they inflame the public to believe all black people who live in the ghetto represent a criminal element.
Music is a powerful tool that can be used to adress our grievances.

What the media covers so well is as so called journalists. .. they continue to fail to answer the major Question… who are these so called law enforcers? Who do they work for? How are they immune as human beings, but others who commit the same crimes are jailed. They are not given permission to carry out law under our Constitution. No law is greater than the Supreme Law of the land. So what laws are they using to foll the people? Why isnt our politicians questioning and having these private security guards put under the jail when they are found to kill, use deceptive forms to jail the people, plant guns and drugs, beat up the peiple? How do they escape the law of the constitution? Is it our Judicial System that allows them to escape? Or just their corrupt Bosses along with the Mayor? And im not talking about our present Mayor.

No law is greater than the Supreme Law of the land.
So what laws are they using to fool the people?
Why isnt our politicians questioning the tactics of these outsiders? Theae private security guards?
Why are the prosecutors putting these outlaws under the jail when its clear that they kill. Clear they use deceptive forms to jail the people.
Clear they plant guns and drugs on people.
Clear they beat and abuse the people? How do they escape the law of the constitution?
Is it our Judicial System that allows them to escape?
Are our Magistrates and Judges just as corrupt as the Police?
Or just the corrupt Bosses (i.e. The Mayor/ C.E.O. of the corporation called a municipal city)?
Good to see Hov playing a crucial role, and getting involved in such an important issue that is going to shape the future of this country.
