Rick Ross addressed the shooting of Michael Brown on the recent posse cut “Don’t Shoot.” But the Bawse had more to say in the issue, and the fallout in Ferguson, Missouri, so he used his “Black & White” remix to get that off his chest.
“Wanna gun me to the ground like I’m Michael Brown/ Settled in the projects, now you knock it down,” Rozay raps to open his verse, which closes the song. The remade hook also makes reference to the teargas used on protesters in Ferguson during recent protest.
Ricky’s MMG cohort, Stalley, takes on similar issues of injustice and police brutality in his verse: “Middle finger up if they ever try and read me my rights/ Hangin’ out the window screaming ‘F the police!’”
Killer Mike and Gunplay both bring their impassioned flows to the remix, too. Each offers their unique story, with Bigga boasting about being a “third generation black businessman” and Gunplay talks of “coming from nothin’.”
The original “Black & White” was included on Ross’ Mastermind, which dropped in March.
