Mickey Factz - I’m Sean
As some of you may or may not know, Sean Bell of Queens, Ny was murdered senselessly by 3 undercover police officers. Today the case that was supposed to send these cops to jail were acquitted on ALL charges. So basically, the justice system is not labeling discharging 50 shots as a crime, but as a procedure. Which means that every minority walking the streets of America is liable to get pummeled by a barrage of bullets. Me being an artist, I wrote this song in January 2007 and it is clearly as relevant as it was then as it is now. I ask people to listen to the song and pass it along as a testament to the death of Sean Bell. May he rest in peace and condolences go out to his family and friends.

here we go the another underground rapper trying to take advantage of sean bells death to try and make a name for hisself
One of the hardest, and well thought out joints right now .. Rip Sean Bell.
while i agree with most of what you typed, if you want to show people that you are serious as a human being, before an “artist”, Mickey Factz, you should learn how to read and write…
“Today the case that was supposed to send these cops to jail were acquitted on ALL charges.”
its a shame that ya’ll pay more attention to spelling than the actual subject at hand… a man lost his life and mickey is just giving his account on what he feels happened… and I guess sam cooke took advantage of malcolm x and martin luther king by releasing change gon come… smh
i have no words for hearing the verdict. *smh* kudos to mickey on the track. let’s not forget this day.
It’s sad that Ny police is that scared of the black man that they needed to fire 50 bullets in a person to make sure he never comes back…it’s sad that sean bell with never see his kids again….it’s sad that a black man will never have a chance to make something of hisself and get slained for it ….where did the justice go ….when did it become 1953 again …..how can anyone sleep at night knowing that police may be the one that you need to look out for …..the crooked cops that are supposed to protect and serve
when all they do is unjustly serve….i hope an pray that we wake and do something about this not just wait for obama to get in office but actually speak up

dis shit here is just too fucked up to even express my niggaz. he had a kid and was about to get married and then some fuckin trigga happy cops took his life. somethin gotta give fo real. how tha fuck can dis shit still happen? seems like theres no hope no more ya feel me?
this just shows us that nothing have changed since the 1960’s shit african americans work so hard for. This is ridiculous and a racist ruling. Let that been black cops 50 bullets in to a white man.It would be a different outcome
50 bullets? damn…if s/o had to reload his gun the victim was already dead and had already like 30 bullets in his body.
fuck that…
once again its sad in america when crooked cops remain on the force while the laws chg for my people. the time shall come when we all take a stand. but god has the ultimate punishment for these murderers. this was someone’s child, soon to be husband, a father and so forth. who they gonna shoot next my son for suckin on his bottle and say it was a grenade. when the seasons chg witness the pain. the struggles from our ancestors, the indians that was killed for protectin this land we call freedom. i for one piss on it. spit in the face of our government for yet another let down. no justice no peace.
may sean & all the other victims rest in peace, rest with JESUS!!!!!!!
again people stop fallin for the okie doke… f the presidential election in the govt sh!t raises! if all municipalities cities have uniform laws then states have uniform laws and the fed is forced to adopt laws in line with the states… The president can’t force the states to do anything!
Vote LOCALLY!!! You know the years in between the presidential election when your state and federal senate and legislation candidates are selected!
Good track.
I wrote “50 Bullets” a day after the shooting because I believe the death/murder of Sean Bell is a tragedy of “shakespearean proportions,” for like Romeo and Juliet this young couple got caught up in society’s contentions. Meanwhile, there have been 5 or 6 more preventable police shootings since this happened. These types of actions by the “authorities” breed hopelessness and a sense of desperation that just creates more crime and institutes the cycle of poverty we see. I also believe that we all have to unite against hate. If he were alive today, Shakespeare himself would have probably remembered that it was at the wedding celebration where Christ performed his first feat. Well, how ironic is this? For a miracle is what we need now if we’re going to get any justice and heal all the pain caused by this shooting. How do we prevent this from happening agian? Herein lies the real crime: “complacency.” Some say it’s a “crime” and some say it’s a “tragedy. ” Visit my page, check out my song/video and tell me what do you think? -Yardmon50
“50 Bullets” Protest Song Follows “50 Shots”
New Song “50 Bullets” Available at: myspace.com/yardmon50
New York, NY – April 26, 2008 Yardmon50 has released a new hit song titled “50 Bullets” about the judge’s “not guilty” verdict in the killing of Sean Bell. This song follows last year’s controversial “50 Shots” by “Papoose.” Yardmon50 states : “I started writing the song the day after the shooting and within a week I had the song down.” Botaniculture Records says that it planned to release “50 Bullets” one month after the shooting, but it was temporarily shelved due to production problems. Although, the subject matter appears to be even more relevant today. “Let ‘dem dance a resistance to the beat of this song, says Yardmon50. “For this song is an expression of outrage at the injustice and insanity of the situation.” There have also been 5 or 6 more deadly police shootings in New York City since Sean Bell was killed on November 25, 2006. Danny Pella an A&R representative for the record company says that: “One thing’s for sure, we don’t want nobody to think Sean Bell lived or died in vain, especially after today’s verdict.” In addition, the singer says that he believes this song “put’s things in their real context… for the shooting was a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions.” He states: “If he were alive today, Shakespeare himself would have probably remembered that it was at the wedding celebration where Christ performed his first feat. Well, how ironic is this? For a miracle is what we need now if we’re going to get any justice and heal all the pain caused by this verdict.” The artist states that the song is not necessarily political, but personal since he has experienced what police brutality is like first hand. The singer also denies any beef with Papoose because of the similarity of the titles of the songs. Pella states: “Yardmon50 is more of a crossover reggae dance music artist while Papoose is a rapper.” The song also says that people should “united against hate.” The public is invited to visit the Myspace page (myspace.com/yardmon50) and download the song with a portion of the proceeds going to a special fund for the environment set up in Sean Bell’s name.
