George Floyd: Streams of NWA's 'Fuck Tha Police' up 270% amid police brutality protestsTracks by Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino and Killer Mike are also experiencing a resurgence in popularity as protesters use them as anti-racism anthemsNWA’s 1988 anti-police brutality anthem “Fuck Tha Police” has seen a huge jump in streams as it becomes one of several songs used by Black Lives Matter protesters.The track saw a 272 per cent increase in on-demand audio streams between 27 May to 1 June, compared to the previous five days.The statistics were compiled by Alpha Data, the analytics provider used for Rolling Stone’s song and album charts.Other tracks, including Childish Gambino’s Grammy-winning “This is America” and Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright”, are also experiencing a resurgence in popularity in the wake of the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer.“Fuck Tha Police” saw its main surge on Sunday 31 May and Monday 1 June. It previously experienced a resurgence in August 2015 during the Ferguson protests over the shooting of Michael Brown.Childish Gambino, the artistic moniker of musician and actor Donald Glover, went viral on TikTok last month when teenagers began incorporating it into videos about racial inequality.Other tracks experiencing fresh waves of popularity include Kendrick Lamar’s anthem “Alright”, Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power”, Killer Mike’s “Don’t Die”, and Beyoncé’s “Freedom”.This week, a protest outside the White House saw thousands of citizens sing the late Bill Withers classic “Lean on Me”.Protests continue to take place across virtually all major cities in the US and around the world over racism and police brutality.

I hope the word finally sees some positive change.Stay safe? Safe from what? A virus that may affect a small percentage of elderly nursing home residents but to most is no different than the flu? Or stay safe from an isolated incident of police brutality Minneapolis amidst a country of 400,000 million people that is the size of 30 European countries put together?You are all sheeple. Instead of reminding people to "be safe" millennials should be reminded not to be pussies--stop locking down and give healthy, hard working folks back their freedoms.
You really wrote a response and bitched about me asking everyone to stay safe??? Someone offers you well wishes and you complain? Eat a dick you pussy. I'm not a millennial, I want the best for everyone. I've been on this forum a long ass time - we're from all over the world and I don't know what everyone on here is dealing with therefore I offered well wishes. Get bent, grow up, read a book and educate yourself. So many people have died from Covid and so many more people are dealing with systemic racism in America....so yeah stay safe.Quote from: Infinite Trapped in 1996 on June 04, 2020, 10:22:57 AMQuote from: D-TalkX on June 03, 2020, 10:16:39 AMThanks for posting this interview, I really enjoyed it.Fuck Donald Trump!

That doesn’t seem like propaganda?
