Still not okay to sing F*** the police?


NEW Zealand singer Tiki Taane was handcuffed and arrested for disorderly behavior after singing a song considered an American gangster anthem, N.W.A's "F*** The Police."
Taane said he regularly played the N.W.A. protest song, written by rapper Ice Cube in 1988, at shows but a police officer in a Tauranga nightclub in New Zealand's north island early Sunday morning became upset at the song's lyrics.

"I have had an excellent rapport with the NZ Police and I intend to keep that relationship positive," the performer said in a statement. "I'm 34-years-old and this is my first ever offense, and I feel it is unfortunate that one particular police officer became upset with the N.W.A lyrics I sang that night."

D.O.C. Planning Tell-All Documentary On N.W.A, Dr. Dre


(AllHipHop News) Legendary West coast rapper The D.O.C. is planning to release a new documentary that will detail his career, as well as the rise and fall of Ruthless Records, from an insiders point of view.

The D.O.C. was one of the founding members of the original N.W.A. Collective (N.W.A. And the Posse), who stayed behind the scenes as a writer during Ruthless Records' early years.

D.O.C, born Tracy Wright, eventually released his own album No One Can Do It Better, a certified Hip-Hop classic produced by Dr. Dre, via Eazy-E's Ruthless Records imprint.

A terrible car accident in 1989, crushed The D.O.C.'s windpipe which ruined his unique voice, effectively ending his rap career. The rapper stayed with Dr. Dre throughout his tenure at Death Row, ghostwriting on albums like Eazy Duz It, Straight Outta Compton, Efil4Zaggin, 100 Miles and Runnin', The Chronic and others.
