Since the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, many have taken social media to post images and videos from protests.

A few rappers have spoken out on Brown's death, and the misconceptions people have on African-Americans.

Killer Mike posted a photo of Brown's family with a message to critics who have blasted the family for protesting against the police.

"We are human beings," he captioned the photo. " We deserve to be buried by our children not the other way around. No matter how u felt about black people look at this Mother and look at this father and tell me as a human being how u cannot feel empathy for them. How can u not feel sympathy for their pain and loos. These are not "THOTS, n****s/n*****rs, hoes, Ballers, Divas. These two people are parents. They are humans that produced a child and loved that child and that child was slaughtered like Game and left face down as public spectacle while his blood drained down the street. Look at the pain of this mother, look into her eyes. Look at the Man behind her. Look at that father made helpless and hurt that he cud not defend his seed. Don't debate. Don't insert your agenda. Save me the bullshit Black On Black Crime speech and look at these to Noble creatures called humans and look at what govt sanctioned murder has done. It has robbed them of their humanity and replaced it with pain and shame, suffering and hurt. I don't care if others rioted or why. I don't care that ball players and Rappers are what they shud be. I care that we as humans care as much about one another more. I care we see past Class, race and culture and honor the humanity that unites our species. Stop talking and LOOK at these PEOPLE. LOOK at these HUMANS and stand with them against a system allows a Human PIG to slaughter their child. Forgive any typos love and respect u all."

Nelly, who is a native of St. Louis posted a photo of Brown with his thoughts on the death of the young teenager.

"First thing I wanna send my strength and blessing to the parents & family of Mike Brown...!! I can't imagine burying a child ...!! And the way he died..?? There's a lot of questions to be answered and folks held accountable so because I am receiving info in bits and pieces do to bring out the country I'll say this for now "To be continued"...!!So Again my strength is for Brown family as this is truly tragic...!! #RIPMIKEBROWN"

David Banner also released a series of tweets encouraging people to look up the facts before believing hearsay on the incident.

"I would always ask you to do your own research. Never believe me or anyone else. Check it out yourselves!" he tweeted. "Black men have to watch what color we wear, what hood we are in, the cops, whites and blacks, no hoodie no white tee, no loud radios damn!"
