'Sound of da Police' |
'Sound of da Police' is a song by American rapper KRS-One. It was released in December 1993 as the second and final single from his debut solo album, Return of the Boom Bap. It reached number 89 on the US BillboardHot 100.
Content[edit]
The song criticizes police brutality and systematic oppression.[1][2]
The song begins with KRS-One whooping twice to evoke a police siren (the 'sound of the police'); this recurs several times throughout the song. The heavy bass sample loop was taken from Grand Funk Railroad's cover of 'Inside-Looking Out', the final track of their LP Grand Funk.
Charts[edit]
Chart (1994) | Peak position |

US Billboard Hot 100[3] | 89 |
US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs (Billboard)[4] | 79 |
In popular culture[edit]
It was featured in the films Cop Out, Attack The Block, and Tag was featured as an in-game radio selection in the 2015 video game Battlefield Hardline (by Electronic Arts), and was used for the end credits of the 2016 movie Ride Along 2[5] and in the 2016 published The Angry Birds Movie soundtrack. The 'Whoop whoop, sound of da police' hook has been referenced by ska-punk band Sonic Boom Six on their track Piggy In The Middle[6] and in metal band Skindred on the title track of their 2002 debut album Babylon.
