    DeKalb Police: Funkified

    Decatur Metro | January 23, 2009 | 2:25 pm

    This is pure genius.

    Preston Craig (of the former Decatur Social Club) points us to a post on his kissatlanta blog that tells the story of an album created by rapper “ytcracker”, which was created by taking all the ridiculous wav files that used to play in the background on different pages of the DeKalb County Police website, and setting them to smart, hilarious lyrics.  The really amazing thing is that yt did it all in 10 hours, according to Craig.

    Since the release of the online album, DeKalb PD has recently removed all of the audio from its website.  ytcracker responds…

    DEPRESSING NEWS: since we have released the album and it has become a sensation overnight because of how awesome and famous we are, the ORIGINAL DCPD sites NO LONGER are hosting the banging beats that they once were. you can look in the left navbar of every page on the dekalbpolice.com website and they still have the music on/off text and the flash code for the player is still in the html source, but everything that was in their /music/ directory has been deleted. we are working on mirroring the site to restore it to it’s full glory.

    You can listen to the entire profanity-free album over on Craig’s kissatlanta blog.  Or better yet, download the whole thing for free here.

    And Craig is right when he says that track 4 “executive_command” is the best of the bunch.
