Former NYPD detective Derrick Parker (aka the Hip Hop cop) has reason to believe that Jam Master Jay’s case could be closed soon, according to a recent interview with DJ Vlad.
For Parker, Jam Master Jay’s death is a sensitive topic, but he says the case is still active with the NYPD and he’s confident he knows who killed the late Run-DMC DJ.
“I would say that case out of any of the big three [Biggie, Tupac and Jay], that case is close to being somewhat solved. Hopefully soon, I hope,” the 20-year veteran cop said. He also vaguely hints that old rumors of Jay having his hands tied up in drug dealings are “somewhat true.”
Monday, October 30 will mark 15 years since Jam Master Jay, born Jason Mizell, was fatally gunned down in a Queens, New York studio. Despite the fact that there were multiple people in the studio when Mizell was shot, his murder remains unsolved.
Parker says the delay in closing the case comes from “witness cooperation,” “corroboration of evidence” and “the willingness of the D.A.’s office at that time to go forward with the prosecution of who was involved.” He also explains some of the difficulties in compelling witnesses to testify.

This guy is a dirtbag
Now dey wanna open dey mouths
He is looking for fame…again. LOSER.
NAME NAMES OR STFU
this case has always unsettled me ’cause what a fuckin’ way to go…
survive Queens thru the 70’s, put hip-hop music on the world stage, and give a livlihood to artists throughout ghettos everywhere just to get shot in the head in your own borough. then your people let your murder case go without justice.
this world doesn’t deserve heroes, man.
He DEFINITELY knows who killed he last 5-6 donuts at the precinct Thisbe morning. And who absolutely Lu massacred the toilet about 40 minutes later.
Jesus. That shirt in the picture is clinging on for dear life. It’s like a small tarp strapped to a big rig. A fat big rig. Dude, who the fuck named this troll “the Hip-Hop cop?” Oxymoron anyone? Just wear a moo moo already.
lol funny joke but if you duno what Hip Hop cops are, then don’t say anything. Do some Reading and less commenting
NO ONE knows what a “Hip-Hop Cop”, you pretentious piece of shit. That was the whole point of calling it an oxymoron. Hip-Hop and the police are and always have been polar opposites. Fuck the police? Cop killer? Wow. Read first? Where is anything WRITTEN here explaining something that doesn’t exist. Cool joke? This fat fuck is saying he knows who killed J, isn’t saying names and is speaking on an ongoing investigation to stop a free bottle of Henny and some Kandypwns from Vlad TV. You are a bad joke.
Unfortunately there is such thing as a “Hip-Hop Cop” … and you could have done some research before posting a dumber counter-comment …
There is such a thing as a hip hop cop. This guy was part of a police task force focused on the hip hop community specifically hence the name ‘hip hop cop’
