Label: Ruthless/Priority
--------------------------------------------------
"Fuck tha Police" is a protest song by American hip-hop group N.W.A that appears on the 1988 album Straight Outta Compton as well as on the N.W.A's Greatest Hits compilation. Written shortly after the group was harassed by the Torrance Police Department, the lyrics protest police brutality and racial profiling and the song was ranked number 425 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Since its release in 1988, the "Fuck the Police" slogan continues to influence pop culture today in the form of T-shirts, artwork, political expression, and has transitioned into other genres as seen in the cover versions by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Dope, Rage Against the Machine, and Kottonmouth Kings (featuring Insane Clown Posse).
"Fuck tha Police" parodies court proceedings inverting them by presenting Dr. Dre as a judge hearing a prosecution of the police department. Three members of the group, Ice Cube, MC Ren, and then Eazy-E, take the stand to "testify" before the judge as prosecutors. Through the lyrics, the rappers criticize the local police force. Two interludes present re-enactments of stereotypical racial profiling and police brutality.
At the end, the jury finds the police department guilty of being a "redneck, white-bread, chickenshit motherfucker."
The song provoked the FBI to write to N.W.A's record company about the lyrics expressing disapproval and arguing that the song misrepresented police.
In his autobiography Ruthless, the band's manager Jerry Heller wrote that the letter was actually a rogue action by a "single pissed-off bureaucrat with a bully pulpit" named Milt Ahlerich, who was falsely purporting to represent the FBI as a whole and that the action "earned him a transfer to the Bureau's backwater Hartford office". He also wrote that he removed all sensitive documents from the office of Ruthless Records in case of an FBI raid.
In the FBI letter, Ahlerich went on to reference "78 law enforcement officers" who were "feloniously slain in the line of duty during 1988" and that recordings such as those produced by N.W.A. "were both discouraging and degrading to these brave, dedicated officers". Ahlerich did not mention any N.W.A. song by name in the letter, but later confirmed he was referring to "Fuck tha Police".
In 1989, Australian radio station Triple J had been playing "Fuck tha Police" (the only radio station in the world to do so) for up to six months, before being banned by Australian Broadcasting Corporation management following a campaign by a South Australian Liberal senator. As a reaction, the staff went on strike and put N.W.A's "Express Yourself" on continuous play for 24 hours, playing it roughly 360 times in a row. It was revealed in 2005 that the scratch sound from that track was sampled for the Triple J news theme.
On 10 April 2011, New Zealand dub musician Tiki Taane was arrested on charges of "disorderly behaviour likely to cause violence to start or continue" after performing the song at a gig in a club in Tauranga during an inspection of the club by the police. On 13 April, Tiki told Marcus Lush on Radio Live that the lyrics often feature in his performances and his arrest came as a complete surprise.
In 1996, during massive opposition street protests in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, "Fuck tha Police", along with Public Enemy's "Fight the Power", was continually played for two days on a Belgrade American-funded radio station, B92.
Dr. Dre makes a reference to this song on his 1999 single Forgot About Dre from his 2001 album with the line "Who you think brought you the oldies, Eazy-E's, Ice Cube's, and D.O.C.'s, the Snoop D.O. Double G's, and the group that said 'Motherfuck the police'?". He also made a more subtle reference to the song in his single Still D.R.E., where he states he's "Still not loving police."
Kanye West alludes to the song in his single "All Falls Down", "I say 'fuck the police', that's how I treat 'em". "Cop Killer", a song by Ice-T's metal band Body Count, also contains the lyrics "fuck the police", as does "Still No Surrender" by Bone Thugs N Harmony.
The Game references the song in his song, "Doctor's Advocate" off the album of the same name, expressing his shame of leaving Aftermath and going into a fight with fellow rapper and former labelmate at the time 50 Cent: "I'm not askin' you to take my side in the beef, But you told me it was okay to say 'Fuck The Police.'"

This song is from 1988 and 32 years later it's still so relevant.
Ikr. Fuck the police for not helping my father problem with a fake dept collector
Name 5 that didn't deserve it.....
I pumped this joint legit in DC in 88'.....
Real talk.
Also in Farmer protest in India
Jai Jawan,Jai Kisan🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
So that means nothing changed for another generation
Yup
When this song was playing in the car my dad will always turn this up to the highest volume when passing a cop
Did he ever get pulled over 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No, not that I know of
U now fuck the police
W
asserting dominance
This song actually has a strong message if you know the nwa story
you dont need to know the story to understand the message just ......... read the title
@@eironasxd3168 well most people think the sign is just a middle finger to the police because they don’t like police. That isn’t the case, they were harassed day in and day out and needed a rebuttal
@@denariousNickGee homie...
I watched the movie
@@denariousNickGee I am actually a Harvard graduate and after 8 years of research, I came to the conclusion that - "Black people who do not commit crimes don't get arrested". Its really an interesting observation if I say so myself 😳
I love the raw power of this era if hip hop.
This Era was DOPE
hell yeah@@KlausBarbi-qe6ix
Dead ass miss this eras
@@M8tallicJi8ngshi That era helped raise dumbass morons to get shot up by police.
NWA was right
Mhm 😔
@@dominiquesolomonwesley212 what ? they are right no doubt about it !
always has been
Was right
Is right

Believe it or not we studied this song a lot in College. See, here in a Philippine University, HipHop was one time offered as an elective subject. I signed up initially thinking that HipHop is glamorized Gangsta Music. Some signed because they were dancers. But actually we learned a lot of the African American history by listening to HipHop songs. Their art is considered contemporary not just because it was ruling the airplays, but because if you truly listened to the lyrics it was mirroring the realities in their communities which the majority does not pay a lot of attention to. In a way, you can say that this is in fact protest through Art, which has been done a lot historically. What is amazing is that we did not realize, how many of the realities and injustices happening in the black community mirrored ours. Especially now. We do deal with police violence also. Since the War on drugs, anybody was just a walking target for corrupt cops.
There were 6 samples in the song:
‘F’’k Tha Police by N.W.A. (1988)

--------------------------
3. ‘Feel Good’ - Fancy (1974) (Which are the drum sounds used throughout the song.)
------------------------
4. ‘Sing A Simple Song’ - Please (1975)

James Brown (1974) (Which is the the Drum Fill that comes in briefly in the beginning of the first verse right after Ice Cube says the line: “A Young nigga got it bad 'cause I'm brown” at (0:34)---------------------------
Who asked for it ??
@@AnmolSharma-uq7zs lol
Thanks
@@AnmolSharma-uq7zs Who asked for you?
If you didn’t ask why did you even bother looking at it let alone commenting
This came out when I was 18 years old. Cube and I are the same age. I remember my parents being terrified of us playing while rollin down the street. Flash forward my kids 30, 28, and 27 out of college still 😳🤦🏽♀️😆” mom how do you know all the words???”
I know every word in the song and im 13 I don’t even have to listen to the song to know the lyrics
W mom
based mother
Mom a real G. Tell em!!

We need more music like this. Stuff that tells a story and such. It gives such a strong message and an interesting story. Nowadays hip hop is just rappers using random words in hope that it rhymes.
Nowadays One Are Terrible. But This One (N.W.A. - Fuck tha Police) Is A Strong Hip Hop With Very Strong Message.
@@yaraihanboo hoo there are so many good lyricsists tgese days y'all just love the nostalgia
Lyrically, this isn’t the best song. I’m guessing Dre and Ice Cube would be embarrassed by it if you asked them now. The first part is good, but the rest is just so-so, compared to something like The Chronic album. But the message is still as relevant as ever. Pigs are still white supremacist, ego-maniacal mother-f*ckers on a power trip. F*ck tha police.
name a few
@@soley651 Never said there was bad lyricsists
I got pulled over for playing this song next to the police at a traffic stop 🤣
We're past diplomacy with these tyrants; Violent/Draconian/Unyielding and Police are known Sex-Offenders (If approached by a Cop your Life is in Danger, Act Accordingly!)
Write my wall in school 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
THAT'S FUNNY! 🤣
Ask for his badge number and report him if you have any footage of it. Unlawfully pulling someone over can place an officer under administrative leave.
After 32 years, this song still go hard 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
make that 33
For real
This Rap never gets old
Get gold 😎
This is the raw material.
I don't know if anyone noticed this before but throughout this classic song's lyrics are subtle nods to NWA's dislike of the police.
After 30 years, this song seems more relevant than ever. NWA RULES!
I was detained and thrown on the ground by random police officers while I was having a seizure because they saw that I was a person of color and thought I was acting funny, despite me telling them multiple times, "It's okay, I suffer from epilepsy and get these every day. All I need are a few minutes and I'll be okay" and they still threw me down and shoved their knee on my neck while going through my pockets.
I deal with epilepsy as well & while I haven't had that experience I've had doctors & nurses say that they would restrain me if I didn't cooperate....ummm yeah I'll get right on that as soon as my brain decides to cooperate!
I got threatened with Punishment while in police station today if i said something wrong. I was not the suspect of the case.... Im White and Live In Norway too bru
I’m so sorry. That must have been so terrifying :( #FTP for real
The guards of pharaoh. They're pretending to not understand or know anything. Just like orcs.
You were having a seizure and you were still able to tell them you had epilepsy? Hmmm.
Man, Ren's voice is so badass
This song, Straight Outta Compton, and Boyz-N-The-Hood are the best song of N.W.A.
There’s two kinds of people
1. Those who say Eazy is unreal levels of badass
2. Liars
NWA HAD IT STRAIGHT FROM DAY ONE
it's still relevant goddammit
How so? These people are literally gangster thugs who regularly break the law without any care in the world. I hope every cop out there arrests them.
You really don’t see songs with balls like this anymore.
Not even 0.1% balls of them
There are some pretty good counterculture,anti establishment artists out there
@@yourmomrespectfully1574that proves their point
@@Witerally_MeHw?
Macklemore sent me
Hell yes!! 🙌🏻✨🇵🇸
Okay white boy
I cannot stop listening to Eazy-E's verse!!! R.I.P. to Eric Lynn Wright (1963 - 1995)
No Eazy-E born on [1964-1995
i did a case study on this a few days ago and i can see how it used to be seen as controversial, however i think this also portrays a really important message about prejudice and sterotypes.
This stopped being controversial once the public finally figured out the truth about police and got rid of their brainwashing by movies and tv shows like law and order, that falsely portray cops as some sort of tough, brave superheroes that protect them from dangerous criminals.
I saw a lot of police brutally in haris county
Then they want u to feel sorry for them when they get killed
We out number them if we join together we we can change the way they treat us
I love history blacks we're winning when the military jump in and bars only black houses u ask me to bomb my own race u do it your self kkk
Many years later im still vibing to this song while doing work
Eazy-E - "They put out my picture with silence
Cause my identity by itself causes violence"
Cube's verse was dope 🔥
Remember being in the military in late '87 when my black friend from L.A. played this for me...GEN-X don't ever forget US!
a classic that NEVER gets old #NWA R.I.P. 'E'
My favorite part is when they said "fuck tha police"
90s rap is something different it's soo much better than modern rap.
This song's from 1988 tho?
I'll double check and make some alterations.
@@user-vi3bm2mx2hI mean that’s pretty close to the 90s so
Playing this song every time I play NFS Heat! Good god, This track has been nothing but god tier gold!🥰
It's been 32 long years old but still giving goosebumps 🔥🔥💯
according to my calculations it was 36 years ago🤓🥸
37 years later it's still so good
The most gangsta song ever!
Ice Cube's bars are 🔥
Next time a cop asks for my license and registration I'm just gonna start cranking this
Fun way to get shot
Good luck with that
don't fuck around and find out please.
You ain't gon even have time they gon shoot yo ass
Nice, but also, maybeeee not a good idea
Hits harder than the cops did 🔥🔥
I hate furries
DAAAAAMN!!!
Dre I got something to say is the sickest line in the song
Listen to this song when I feel anti authority
Bro I be fuckin vibin this in my room at 9pm
2 am rn i’m bopping to ts😂
Bad arse! I'm still loving this to this very day. I'm going to make this my intro song to my cop watch videos.
2:53 ren is killing it on this part
They kick my door in while I was listening to this.
Are you for real? Why did they kick your door in?
@@user-zj4jl9ds7c Hate speech? 😂😂
Thank God I'm a old school hip hop guy when it comes to rap.
I remember this song blasting during a riot in Glasgow🤣
After seeing the Tyre Nichols videos, this song just hits different now
This song will always be valid
My legal name is Ren and feel great that in my opinion one of the graetest Rap artists in argueably the most impactful Rap Group is carrying that name as well
I make sure to always play this song whenever I get pulled over.
This song goes out to the following people:
1. Andy Lopez.
2. Michael Brown.
3. Eric Garner.
4. Laquan McDonald.
5. Walter Scott.
6. Sureshbhai Patel.
7. George Floyd.
8. Treyvon Martin.
cant forget Rodney king in sure thats one the reasons this song came out.
but he dint die but still
@@Projectfate2008 neither did Sureshbhai Patel.
@@marvinthemaniac7698 yea
I was looking for ( I have never heard songs ) then , this one appeared. It's a pity that in 32 years the reality keep being the same one 😢😢😢😢.
What reality? You mean thugs and criminals hating cops because they get arrested for selling drugs and murdering people?
When the FBI saw this I bet they was mad asf🤣
FBI =/= the police
N.W.A WILL NEVER DIE!!!!!!!1!1!
I love Ice Cube, Eazy E, and the whole NWA members. This is like the best song. But R.I.P Eazy E. 🙏 ❤
That ice bucket entrance is still legendary
my fav N.W.A songs
1: Straight Outta Compton
2: Fuck Tha Police
3: Appetite For Destruction
4: Express Yourself
5: Gangsta Gangsta
How about Boyz-N-The-Hood
@@Yes-eh2ep thats a good one too
still slaps man 1988 just crazy
This will never get old
It’s crazy how long these same problems have existed… and how long it took for anyone to listen.
ONE WORD FOR THIS GROUP LEGENDDDDDSSS❤❤❤❤
Never gets old
Thinking of the Nwa lyric "black police showing out for the white cop.
Rip Tyre Nichols.
This is iconic
Definitely the song to chill to after getting a speeding ticket.
😂😂😂 for real
😂😂😂 for real
This shit hits hard!!!
fr
Thanks
When I was 13 I had a pirated cassette of this whole album. We had a cop living across the other side of the street. He knew all the lyrics to their songs 😂. He was a good guy. Sadly he copped a bullet that sent him blind
Let's be honest, we love this song not because we express against Police Brutality action. But this is a great for us to express ourselves against the corrupted government system and dumb, lazy ass & corrupted cop who didn't do a resposible job and justice to community to have a good live with a good business job
Amen
Indeed
Yeah. That's What Happened To The Poor George Floyd, Adama Traoré, And The Latest, Nahel Merzouk. That's Why N.W.A. Fuck Tha Police Never Dies.
all cops are racist
Fr it's crazy how anybody can drive around with an array of weapons after a little bit of training. I had a teacher who was a ex-cop and would push me around, she definitely wasn't mentally stable
Ain't no way they've age restricted the other video!
Yo this song is so old but it never get old tho it just so good no one can get away from the song tho F THA POLICE
old but gold 💥
10/10 song they realy put some work into this and made it perfect
I love this song
Bro I'm learning this song and now I can rap the shit out of this song
From Macklemore's Hind's Hall
This shit still goes hard and it's true after 36 years
Temazo loco
When a song older then me has aged like FINE WINE! FFS EARTH FIX YOU SHIT!
love it when it first came out, And still love it.
i think this is blm theme song
For some, perhaps.
Hobostarr180 probably most since i’m their official demands they ask for full abolishment of the police and abolishment of prisons.... so that sure does sound like f the police
@@graysonstewart552 when the song came out they had a right, no its weird
No
@@omaraguirre8309 how’s that
I finally have found a version of the song
Eazys chorus banging 😅😅
Great song 👍👍
"Is there a problem officer?"
the cops and government didnt like N.W.A because they spoke the truth in there music we need them all now giving us more of the truth R.I.P Easy-E
The rest of their songs on this album were about selling drugs
The haters are the police
So true! Skip all haters!
As long as there are ignorant haters in the world, this tune will always be relevant, i recently completed 8 years of deferred probation and 1 year of lockup, so i dont want shit to do with law enforcement officers
Thank for lyrics
an old classic
my parents are mad at me cuz i sang this song
Hell yeah
This my fav song of all time
I'm not really much of a rap person, but this song is just a straight up banger.
Ice Cube’s part is notably deeper than other guys.
It's sad this song is still relevant decades later.
that isnt even sad
@@Madboygamer. you don't think it's sad this is how the police operate? Everything with George Floyd? That's not sad?
@@Madboygamer. you don't think it's sad that police do that? That they killed George Floyd? That's not sad?
@@Madboygamer.yes it is
@@Yes-eh2ep how is it sad
I got nwa rolled lol Rick roll but nwa
love this song
You Know Have Synced to "Fuck Tha Police" Even if it is your first listen
I'm from genz but this song slaps 🔥
Same bro
Yo this is fire
I agree to this song 🔥
