BWP (group)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BWP are perhaps best known today for their controversial music video "Two Minute Brother" from their 1991 album The Bytches.[2]
In 1991, McCaskill and Morgan paid amateur videographer George Holliday $1,500 for the rights to use 10 seconds of the video he shot of L.A.P.D. officers beating Rodney King in their video for "Wanted." McKaskill said that "for years rappers have been talking about police brutality and no one has taken heed of it, or justice has never been done. No one's paid this issue any mind. So now that it's been taped, it's been caught in the act and visualized, it's in black and white...we truly hope people don't just forget about it a week later."[3]
