%22Fuck tha Police%22 is a protest song by the gangsta rap group N.W.A that appears on the album Straight Outta Compton as well as on the N.W.A's Greatest Hits compilation. It was ranked number 425 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Protesting police brutality and racial profiling, its lyrics express approval of violence against police. The song provoked the FBI to write to N.W.A's record company about the lyrics expressing disapproval and arguing that the song misrepresented police.Since its release in 1988, the %22Fuck the Police%22 slogan continues to influence pop culture today in the form of t-shirts, artwork, and even transitions into other genres as seen in Dope's, Rage Against the Machine's and Subnoize Souljaz versions.
