"Fuck tha Police" is a protest song by the gangsta rap group N.W.A that appears on the album ''Straight Outta Compton'' as well as on the ''N.W.A's Greatest Hits'' compilation. It was ranked number 425 on ''Rolling Stone's'' list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Protesting police brutality and racial profiling, its lyrics express approval of violence against police. 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. Since its release in 1988, the "Fuck the Police" slogan continues to influence pop culture today in the form of t-shirts, artwork, and even transitions into other genres as seen in Dope's, Rage Against the Machine's and Subnoize Souljaz versions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4S8Wc26XowM )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=F *ck tha Police )〕 Ice Cube and MC Ren wrote their own lyrics, while Eazy-E's lyrics were written by MC Ren. ==Composition== "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. By doing this, Dr. Dre takes the formalities of the judicial system and stands them on their head. He mocks the way that prosecuting attorneys use witnesses to prove their side of the story, while still respecting it, taking it on as his own way in allowing the MCs to state their cases in order to prove how the police department is focused on young black minorities, assuming that they are all drug dealers and are looking to rob or murder (see Criminal stereotype of African Americans). At the end, Dre finds the policeman guilty of being a 'redneck, white bread, chickenshit motherfucker'. puto olice", containing N.W.A's trademark inflammatory lyrics, stood out in particular from many of the songs on ''Straight Outta Compton.'' It highlights many of the tensions between black urban youth and the police. The song also alleged that black police were worse than the whites, with lyrics such as: Especially controversial were the areas of the song that appear to condone violence towards police authorities; lines such as "I'm a sniper with a hell of a scope/Taking out a cop or two, they can't cope/with me" and "A sucka in a uniform waitin' to get shot/by me, or anotha nigga" directly reference the murder of police officers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fuck tha Police」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
