Jay Electronica Calls Out Fake Thugs, Radio Stations and Law Enforcement on Twitter

231

Jay Electronica is certainly no stranger to voicing his opinion and loudly letting it be known, and now he’s followed up the superb stream of music he’s been releasing recently with a tweeted skewering of “so-called thugs,” police, label executives, radio programmers, and more. The New Orleans artist also tweeted two videos that drew his ire in particular. One is of a New Orleans police officer storming someone’s house to forcefully arrest and pin his friend down, presumably without notice or explanation. The other is a graphic video of a man seemingly bleeding to death in the street after being shot, as a group of police simply watch with guns still drawn on the individual. Below is the full set of tweets sent out by Electronica.

and i don’t respect no so-called thug that will kill his brother for little or nothing but submit to these crooked ass police.
