After a recent Monumental show in New York, a fight broke out outside of the venue. Does that mean the NYPD needed to wail on these cats like they did? This shit seriously has to stop. Being scared of the police doesn't help ANYONE, you feel me? It brings fear, and hate, to them, and a real sense of "we've got no protection". Which leads to a bunch of other stuff. Shouts to HipHopIsCoolAgain for this one.

The video speaks for itself! Just doing my part to raise awareness for the unacceptable law enforcement that took place last night in the Lower East Side at the release party for Smif n Wessun's new album "Monumental" produced by Pete Rock.

As reported elsewhere, Smif N Wessun's peaceful and unprovocative release album party devolved into a mass of angry people and at least one brutal cop smackdown caught on video (below). The justification for cops closing the show and showing up in the first place, according to Duck Down's official statement, were vague at best: "It was a peaceful gathering inside of a sold-out Tammany Hall (lower-east side Manhattan, NY) to see the group perform new music from the project.

There were confrontations last night between the New York Police Department and patrons of a Smif-N-Wessun and Pete Rock Release Party at the venue Tammany Hall. According to UK DJ Jay Diamond, who published one of the videos above: "There was a fight outside the club and it got really nasty. We had no idea [...]

When I first started going to hip hop gigs back in the olden days, there was often a sense of anticipation in the air - and it wasn't always because of who was set to hit the stage. As anyone who frequented hip hop gigs through the 90's will probably attest - and I'm aware that this is both a gross generalisation and a personal point of view - hip hop gigs used to be a whole lot rawer than they are now. The threat of some sort of disturbance of the peace never [...]

Last night, Pete Rock and Smif N Wessun celebrated the release of their collaborative effort, Monumental , like most rappers -- and artists in any genre, really -- with an album release party. From what I have read, what went down inside the venue was a rather peaceful event with everyone just hanging out and enjoying the gritty boom-bap record. But outside of the club or nearby, apparently some fools started fighting and, eventually, the cops got involved. And according to the user who uploaded the above footage, "the [...]

Man, Pete Rock is a busy dude. As we have heard over the past few months , he and Smif N Wessun collaborated on a full-length album, Monumental , which actually dropped today. And when he wasn't working on that, the producer-rapper was in the studio with Camp Lo. They're gearing up to release a sequel to this past March's 80 Blocks From Tiffany's soon, so if you haven't heard that mixtape yet make sure you jump on it soon. Or, you know, you can wait [...]

Two for two on the soulful joints today, with Pete Rock and Camp-Lo(ah) releasing another song under the banner of their 80 Blocks From Tiffanys project. Technically, this leaked a few weeks back, but I was sunning myself on a Mediterranean island at the time (it's what I do), so I missed it. But I like this more than today's leak from 80 Blocks, so I figure there's no harm in going for higher quality over newness , right? The tune I've gone for today - a remix of 'Pot [...]

Anything that has a Styles P verse on it usually get's my approval luckily this is just the case. Pete Rock and Smif-N-Wessun give their track "That's Hard" the visual treatment. This is my first time hearing the track and I must say it does indeed go hard (pause). You can purchase the album Monumental on iTunes and support some boom bap rap. Check out the video after the jump. Peace
