How do you guys feel about prosecutors using rap lyrics in indictments?

[computersputin]

People arguing just to argue at this point.

It’s like, people are conflating 10 different points. It’s obvious that if *****s did wrong, and they have evidence…then of course pursue that.

Vague rap lyrics should not matter, or be used as evidence. It should be “protected speech”

It’s this simple to me. This is the damn point.

Committing crimes and then alluding to them should be protected
Committing crimes and then intimately detailing them, should not

Welp..

Guess these same people should be ok with cops entering your home without a warrant but because they found illegal weapons you should still be charged because now they have real evidence.

As you should

No matter if some of it is true, creating a song is no different than writing a script for a movie.... how can you use that as evidence?

Evidence is evidence of the crime committed... a song is a piece of art. Ultimately if they did it, it needs to be proven with actual evidence.

100% This

 

[Based Jesus]

This is what I mean. Like this absolutely should be evidence. It's such a detailed confession it even ****ing rhymes

 

[TURBO UNO]

All those details. He flat out told on himself

 

[Mark Antony]

I can only see it going downhill from here though because they can't tell the difference, and cops love easy closes.

TSCQ and WASHED KING be like: THIS IS ART! THIS SHOULD BE PROTECTED!

And this was 2007 before social media, evolved into what it is today. Now they rap about, post about it, make FB posts, etc

Basically… these dudes loveeeeee to talk

 

[Nereyda Vuelve Por Dios]

Part of me wants these new age goofy rappers to suffer for being clout chasers in music talkin bout other rappers they killed or ppl they killed. And the general sense to
Be seen

But on the hand, art shouldnt be used to your detriment outside of that enviorment. Even if its bad, its should be kept in that world.

I dont believe in the hypodermic needle theory of art so i dont thinks a scream “fire” in a movie theater type thing either.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

What is art tho? If i kill you and go on Twitter and recite a poem called “I just murdered @jpzx” how is that not evidence. We gonna throw it out because I said it was a poem?

"This thread is in shambles."

 

[americangenius]

Couldn't care less about criminals snitching on themselves, don't care if it's through raps, text messages, or social media.

 

[computersputin]

at the end of the day, lets keep it a buck, people on here advocating for protecting criminals that are causing harm to other people.

Nobody is doing that. At all.

Pretty disingenuous leap.
