Ten More Music Videos featuring Law Enforcement

Here's all the Music Videos with Cops on a YouTube playlist...

1. Lauryn Hill - "Sweetest Thing" 1997  *Lauryn Hill at her finest hour.  UPDATE...the video was removed from YouTube so here's a poor substitute.




2. Ice-T - "I'm Your Pusher" 1988  *I haven't listened to much Ice-T and I was surprised how great this song is. I love that he turned the well-known sample into an anti-drug message. Ice-T was well aware that his music could be used as a tool for social change.



3. Tricky - "Nothing's Changed" 2013  *Not the official music video, still great.



4. Chance The Rapper - "Brain Cells" 2012  *Great use of old footage in this video, he's definitely an interesting rapper.



5. Ice Cube - "Check Yo Self" 1993  *Ice Cube doing the Blue Is The New Black thing.



6. The Bullitts feat. Jay Electronica and Yasiin Bey - "They Die By Dawn" 2013  *Grey's Anatomy guys doing the old west thing.



7. Smif-N-Wessun - "Bucktown" 1994  *If you've never heard this song, you should fix this problem now.



8. Ice Cube - "Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It" 2008  *He should make one called "Video Games Made Me Do It" for the new generation.



9. King Krule - "Easy Easy" 2013  *This guy sings like a Sex Pistol.



10. Public Enemy - "Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos" 1988  *Chuck D gets hanged in this video, but, don't worry he's okay.

Ten Music Videos featuring Dice

1. Kingdom Crumbs - "Red Cups" 2013 (SEATTLE)  *This is a great band, I would have loved to see them play the Sasquatch Festival this weekend. Only one member of this band (Jarv Dee) made the questionable XXL list 15 Seattle Rappers You Should Know. I believe that not being on this list can be seen as a good thing. The list might be an indicator of perceived commercial viability, not artistic talent. Some of the rappers who did make the list are not that great. That said, congratulations to those who did make the list!

2. Warren G and Nate Dogg - "Regulate" 1994  *Nineties MTV heavy rotation Hip Hop.

3. Danny Brown - "Monopoly" 2011  *Warning! Danny Brown is not for everyone.

4. Funkdoobiest - "Dedicated" 1995  *I had never heard a Funkdoobiest song that wasn't "Bow Wow Wow", this one is pretty good, the beat anyway.

5. Cypress Hill - "Hand On The Pump" 1991  *An upbeat song about killing people?

6. Capital STEEZ - "Vibe Ratings" 2012  *This is one of my favorite Capital STEEZ songs.

7. The Notorious B.I.G. - "Warning" 1994  *Biggie eats Peanut Butter Crunch in this video, in case you were wondering.

8. Group Home (Produced by DJ Premier) - "Supa Star" 1995  *This is from a DJ Premier produced album, so it's worth a listen.

9. The Stepkids - "Suburban Dream" 2011  *This song is mostly good. This band is one of the not exactly Hip Hop artists on Stones Throw.

10. Ice Cube - "It Was A Good Day" 1993  *This is one of those songs that was on heavy rotation on MTV in my formative years. I love how in 2012 someone figured out which specific day he was talking about (January 20, 1992).
