Dont believe the hype3/27/2023 ![]() "It Doesn't Matter If Michael Brown Stole A Box Of Cigar" By Nick Wing, 1:12 pm EDT With regard to Michael Brown's shooting death, the "hype" is that the policeman was justified in shooting Michael Brown multiple times even after Brown held his hands up high in the air in the universal symbol of surrender because Brown had earlier robbed a store of less than $50 worth of cigars. From the 1988 Public Enemy single "Don't Believe The Hype", which fought back against negative press about the band. Ignore the media, marketing, buzz, or rumors around a story, object or person - it's nothing special.
