Miami Police Paint Jay-Z As Gangbanger


Every step you take, they remind you ghetto. In effort to curb Miami’s gang activity, local authorities created this banner using Jay-Z’s likeness. The depiction uses two press photos from Jay-Z’s Blueprint run nine years ago. Clearer image after the jump.

    Well he sold a lot of crack for many years and destroyed many lives back in the days..

    How many lives have he ruined, the effect of his crack dealing is probably still being felt.

    Somebody probably overdosed on his package and is depressed because they lost a parent because of his crack dealing ways so stop making a big deal about a little cartoon…

    The crazy thing is I bet the person who did the graphics is black

  17. Certifiedone. says:

    Hahah yall blame white folks way too much, even for this when the chief of Police’s name is Miguel A. Exposito, obviously dude isn’t white.

  18. The_Dynasty says:

    My only question is did they have to use two Jigga pics??? I know the shit looks and may even be racist but I wonder if this can be an innocent mishap? This could be the work of some young computer graphic art student whose a big Jay-z fan and stupidly reference Jay-z pics. You these PR dept be hiring student as interns for their websites and shit.

  19. Ya says:

    Wooowwww… Sometimes u forget how stupid ppl can b… Someone bout to get fired real quick. And @Gerold the whole point is that he doesn’t do that shit no more.
    And how come of all the cartoons, he’s the only one that reflects a real person… TWICE… Lol

  20. LMAO says:

    LMAO HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAA

  21. Ac@pella! says:

    Cosign B. Dot. That IS defamation. This guy is on the cover of Forbes 400 with Warren Buffet, with a story and they wanna put him on this bullshit.

  22. Sealey says:

    Defamation!!! I see a march on city hall coming led my Rev. Sharpton

  23. llll says:

    Wow @Black folks getting so sensitive!
    Do you know that now a days, most policemen are black?Fuckin racists, the race card is not going to work for you anymore, you got a black president and your still bitching…DAMN!

  24. herbsaac says:

    Defamation? what are his old cds then? ha

  25. Sealey says:

    already removed from their site….the power of the internet

  26. The_Dynasty says:

    Why is it only white people that say racism is dead? Why is it anytime a black person mention race white people are quick to point out the social advances we made in the world? Why should the fact that we have a black president be okay that they use a Jay-z pic like that?

  27. Nigga says:

    this 1-800-crime-stoppers bullshit

  28. mac DIESEL says:

    POLICE ARE ALWAYS ON SOME FUCKERY SHIT!!!! THAT’S DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER!!!! POINT BLANK!!!! MIAMI COPS ARE FILTHY PIECES OF SHIT!!!! JAY COULD BUY THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH POLICE TWICE OVER!!!! HA!!!! AND FUCK THE CHIEF OF MIAMI POLICE!!!!

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

  29. llll says:

    @The_Dynasty….LOL!You’re using “they” as if white people posted that pic on the homepage of the site. Us white people think racism is dead because we don’t see any racism, when some white guy gets racists it gets posted all over the internet and the news, but its okay for a black guy to call a fellow whit person a CRACKER!I mean if you say it to your friend then its okay because it’ll be taken as a joke…But saying it every day without even feeling a bit racist it a real problem…You know what i mean man..Most of my friends are black and we joke all the time its okay because its between us!

  31. Word says:

    Yall hate CRACKERS?? Yall do know black people work for the police too right? Quti making it seem like we still in the 1900’s….this 2010, grow up.

    PS. Im black, part Nigerian to be specific. So no, im not white, but im still standing by my statement

  32. KAE Hock says:

    Are you fucking kidding me? Where’s Ashton? This is a good 1

  33. Word says:

    And theres WHITE people on that banner too, you think white people throwing a fit over that shit? Damn, black people think anything racist these days. Black people are in the force too, they dont car, white people in the force, they dont care. They wanna put a banner up depicting gangs, what you want them to put up there? Zoo animals? What else besides white or black people? Yall just getting mad because your Messiah JAy Z is on it, but if it was straight white people yall wouldnt give a fuck…stop acting like its just a poster with brothers on there. And stop acting like our race is innocent, it really isnt. We’re still the leading race being locked up, so the numbers lying? Yall mad at the numbers? Why? Cuz its true? Come on man. Blind rage, yall not even thinking

  34. Dirty Peddalz says:

    @ IIII Maybe in cities with large black populations, but since black folks make up around 10% of the population in the U.S. your statement can’t be true. Go to a few towns in northen Wisconsin and make that statement. They’ll probably ask where you saw a black person. As far as the rest of what you wrote, it doesn’t sound like you understand enough about society, politics or racism to be writing anything. Go join the Tea Party or something. You sound just like one of them.

  35. Kidd Billion@ire says:

    MAN THEY TOOK THAT SHIT DOWN MADD QUICK ON THE WEBSITE LOL! PEEP THE URL, ITS ALL BLACK NOW HA!!! *mac DIESEL voice

  36. Word says:

    You guys crack me up. Saying the banner is racist, if it wasnt Hov on the banner, yall wouldnt care though SMH. Its racist, but theres white people on it too. SMH. Im black too. Not even sub urban black, im from baltimore anyway. But still, i can see when my race is being idiotic. I had to make three post on this cuz yall frustrate me sometimes with this racism thing at every turn. Black person being pulled over? Racism. Black man caught shop lifting? Racism. Obama getting panned by analyst? How dare they do that. Racism. SMH yall think everything racism

  37. llll says:

    @Dirty Peddalz….LOL, dude i don’t even live in America so stop trying to be a smartass. I live in Palestine so i know x100 about society politics and racism than you…I just didn’t want to make an argument out of nothing because really, its just a black guy saying the word crakcer..Nothing new to me!And i probably know and read about Black Leaders more than you do/did….So go ahead and drink your tea alone dummy!

  38. Post no billz says:

    Sue em…

  39. Word says:

    FOURTH POST

    The only thing that was wrong with the banner is that it was defamation. THATS IT! Is it racist though? NO! Because, if it was a Ja Rule looking nigga, yall would crack jokes on the nigga. But its Hov….so its a big deal…..

  40. A Cracker!!! says:

    Jay as a gang member. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    Besides that one court case the dudes record is cleaner than most.
    i love this rap game. Jay can say hes a dealer and everyone just believes him.

  41. Tim Lee VA Stand Up says:

    FUCK NIGGAS, BITCHES TOO, ALL I GOT IS THIS MONEY THIS WILL Do

  42. BK says:

    This is why niggas have Al Sharpton on speed dial. He’s probably on his way over there 500 deep. Still tho Jay stans would be even more pissed if they used his likeness on i don’t know a cigarettes packet… Oh shit, erm…

  43. chicken and waffles says:

    anyone notice that the jay-z in the red head piece is touching the jay-z with the jersey in a really gay manner haha

  44. Nathaniel says:

    how about let’s not get into a racism discussion. (yes, yes, i know that may be shocking coming from a nigga such as me, lmao)

  47. Red says:

  48. Haters are annoying--> Android, Mac Weasel, Lucas and others says:

    @Word actually co-sign..its not really racist, just illegal

  49. @kingofphilly81 says:

    Jay z should sue there asses hate to see a black man doing big things follow me on Twitter at @kingofphilly81!

  50. Word says:

    @Haters are Annoying

    One cosign. Not racist, but illegal. Thats basically what I said, but no one gonna cosign it cuz black people love racism. Its something to bring us together. So when they think its racist, they gonna stand by it unless someone who’s not a random blogger like me says its not racist.

  51. scorpio says:

    Cha Ching! SUE THEM HOV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO!

  52. Downgraded To Human says:

    word is a HOUSE NIGGA UNCLE TOM

  53. Dirty Peddalz says:

    @IIII What are you even talking about. I don’t even live in America either, what does that have to do with anything. Yeah, you live in Palestine so you obviously must know more about society, racism and politics in the states than me. I do live in Canada, and used to live in the states so I’d say I might know a bit more about what goes on in North American culture, than some guy living in Palestine. I’m actually here. You know quite a bit about the racial makeup of our police forces considering you live 1/2 a world away right. Or were you referring to the police force in Palestine being mostly black. Either way we’re talking about where I’m from smart guy. That’s where this happened. Go throw some rocks at something.

  54. Word says:

    ^^^^^

    Nigga, you from Canada. CANADA. This happened in Miami, what are you talking about? Your not from NORTH AMERICA, your from CANADA. Its mostly white people up there, your not from here either.

  55. Di@z says:

    Lmao how is that even possible to even be a final product. Cut and paste and even if it wasn’t jay-z its pretty stereotypical depicting what a gang member “should” look like.

  56. Belize says:

    Mothafuck these popo’s………
    Where the FUCK did they come up with this pile of garbage?
    I do think it had to do wit Ross….
    *turns on the NWA classic*

  57. llll says:

    @Dirty Peddalz….Man you just typed a lot of stupid shit…That why in my first post i didn’t want to talk a lot. I didn’t want anyone to argue with me over nothing…And BTW, i can afford more guns grenades and RPG’s than the Canadian army, if there was any LOOOOOOOOOOL!

  58. Dirty Peddalz says:

    @IIII I’m not trying to be a smart ass, you just sound mad stupid. You live in Palestine, so you obviously know more about society, racism and politics in North America than somebody who lives here right? You also know more about black culture, than a black person raised in the States with African roots. Since you live in Palestine you must know quite a bit about the racial makeup of our police forces, more so than somebody who encounters them everyday. Or were you referring to the police in Palestine being black? Why not do something more useful with your hands like go outside and throw a rock at a tank or something.

  59. Dirty Peddalz says:

    @Word I’m from the states, and North America=Canada, The U.S. and Mexico.

  60. Don’t forget next to Jay-Z, there’s Iron Man, Kat Stacks, And that White Guy With The Wooden Sword. They’ve all been misrepresented

  61. Word says:

    @Dirty Peddalz

    Lmao. I just realized I said North America, I meant United States.

  62. YYY says:

    they tried my dawg lol

  63. cmosa says:

    why.. why wouldnt they just draw someone else.. is jay z the only famous black person they could think of? jesus. like the obligatory white people in the back too. this looks like some carmen san diego shit.

    Jay is damn near 50 years of age…GTFOH with the gang banging bullshit… Gangbanger my ass. I am from Los Angeles and I have seen plenty of bangers on the street… Shit, what the fuck is Mami Dade thinking. Jay’s wealth is probably worth more than Mami police dept; fire dept; and city hall put together… SMH!

    In Miami and the rest of South Florida, where I grew up, on the street they call the police…DA CRACKERS!….black or white…Real talk.

  72. AiyasDaddy says:

    It is not racist but is deformation of character tho, no need to rally people it is unfortunate that every step you take they remind you you’re ghetto. And as far as the guy who said that Jay only caught one case so that implies he wasnt a dealer in the past, that just means he never got caught idiot!!!

  73. wickwickwack says:

    the guy who did this is probably a fan …thats the funny part
    2jigga pics? c´mon thats on purpose …they probably told him to use a rapper and he picked his favorite one
    laaaawsuit

  74. tre says:

    “defamation of character” > “deformation of character”

  75. budgefkuhgewf says:

    Jay-Z is a gangsta in the sense that he’s spiritually dead.

    But does he have the balls to hussle on the street? No. Does he need to? Obvioulsy not.

    Have his raps been declining into pop songs? Yes.

  76. ABLT says:

    They made gangsters look fun in this depiction. All the colors and shit. This ad doesn’t make you snitch, it makes you want to be a gangster.
