Rappers Young Thug and Gunna are behind bars in Atlanta on gang-related charges after prosecutors used their own lyrics against them as evidence. Now the music industry is speaking out, arguing that rap musicians are being held to a different standard than other artists when it comes to the use of lyrics in court.
A broad coalition led by Warner Music Group , the third-biggest music conglomerate and parent of the rappers’ distributor, 300 Entertainment, placed an open letter in the New York Times and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Tuesday. It urges prosecutors and federal and state legislators to limit the use of rap lyrics as evidence on the grounds that it unfairly prejudices juries against defendants.
Mumble rap
Why are rappers dying than?
Some of them are doing what they are rapping about though 🤷♀️
Rap isn’t music. Never has been.
Lynch literally told the story of a murder he committed and that was used as evidence to convict him - fair enough. Snoop said his face is carved on mount kushmore - don't worry about it its just a cool lyric. depends on circumstances
Jayz on said scarface the movie did more damage then scarface the rapper but ul never see these fake moral judge dragging al pacino or Roberto de niro
Yeah, but did they do that shit tho?

What do music and rap have anything to do with each other?
Хип-хоп - это не искусство.
My two cents. Music is an art and part of the inspiration comes from the environment = to what rappers rap about.
They are entertainers. Lyrics shouldn't be held as evidence against them.
Ok well you’re still confessing to known criminal activity. Try changing the subject for once
NO!!!!!!!!!!!
