BALTIMORE: Hip-Hop Artists React to Protests

As the world watches and discusses the civil unrest and violence going on in Baltimore, several hip-hop stars weighed in with their thoughts via social media.

Freddie Gibbs: If you lootin’, you takin’ advantage of the Gray family and their loss, using it as excuse to be a thief during a riot. Quite cowardly of you.

Russell Simmons: Just came out of meditation + focused all of my energy towards letting the right path be illuminated for the city of Baltimore.

YG: Baltimore doing what they suppose to be doing.

Kelly Rowland: Praying for Baltimore

Questlove: I assure you they will review the footage and bring those responsible to justice. And sadly, I’m not talking about Freddie Gray’s murderers.

Chuck D: HBO pimped that 1-sided view of B-more in The Wire. Show and spread it across the USA and 15 years later (((BOOM))).
