"Guns Don't Kill People, Rappers Do" (commonly referred to as "GDKPRD") is a song by the Welsh Rap act Goldie Lookin Chain from their Greatest Hits album. In August, 2004 the song reached #3 on the UK Singles Chart. With the tagline "The gun is the tool, the mind is the weapon", in this track the band again satirised the American hip hop scene.
The video for the song features the band doing a mock police line-up and being chased on customised mobility scooters. The video is shot mostly in the Hertfordshire town of Watford, England, featuring such local landmarks as the original 1970s concrete brutalist style shopping centre, the YMCA building and the spiral car park ramp visible from the ring road.
The song was parodied by Chris Moyles and his Radio 1 team, under the name Mouldie Lookin Stain and called "Dogs Don't Kill People Wabbitz Do". This version reached #1 in the UK Official Download Chart.
Famous quotes containing the words guns, kill and/or people:
“At the ramparts on the cliff near the old Parliament House I counted twenty-four thirty-two-pounders in a row, pointed over the harbor, with their balls piled pyramid-wise between them,—there are said to be in all about one hundred and eighty guns mounted at Quebec,—all which were faithfully kept dusted by officials, in accordance with the motto, “In time of peace prepare for war”; but I saw no preparations for peace: she was plainly an uninvited guest.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If you wish to make a man look noble, your best course is to kill him. What superiority he may have inherited from his race, what superiority nature may have personally gifted him with, comes out in death.”
—Alexander Smith (1830–1867)
“In Africa, there is much confusion.... Before, there was no radio, or other forms of communication.... Now, in Africa ... the government talks, people talk, the police talk, the people don’t know anymore. They aren’t free.”
—Youssou N’Dour (b. 1959)
