Fink tank

By Rodney Bethea and Skinny Suge

From Stop Snitching, a DVD produced last summer by Rodney Bethea and Skinny Suge. The DVD, for sale in Baltimore for $10, led Maryland lawmakers to propose legislation strengthening penalties for witness intimidation. In May 2005, Baltimore police issued a DVD entitled Keep Talking.

Rattin’, man, is something that is overpopular, overpopulating the city more than AIDS, yo, know what I mean? I understand that AIDS is a real big problem and they tell you to donate money to sponsor the cure. Man, everybody should chip in and handle that because everybody knows what is going on. But, man, I want a foundation, too, called “Stop Snitching in our Communities.” I need all y’all to donate to me about these bitch-ass niggas so I can educate the city about what’s going on. This is like health research, yo, this is so we can live and grow and raise our kids. Because these rats eat up everything. You feel me? So I need y’all to volunteer your information on who these punk motherfuckers is, man, so I can let the whole motherfuckin’ world know: Chicago, Philly—nowhere these whores can run at. Hope you get hit by a milk truck and just be creamy as a motherfucker and have no foam on top. Snitchin’ bitch.

If you get locked up, man, and they tell you, “If you don’t tell, we’re gonna take your mama’s house. We’re gonna take your mama’s car. We’re gonna take your sister’s store, your mama’s beauty shop,” don’t get in there like: “Man, I had to tell. They were gonna take my mom’s and sister’s shit.” Hold? When you got all that shit for your mom and sister, bitch, you knew what you was doin’ and you knew that they could take all that shit, so fuck your mom and your sister, you stupid bitch. All y’all should get tied together and swung from a tree like an old school swing. Bitch.
