Using lyrics to prove guilt is soooooo unconstitutional. Imagine all the 90’s rappers and what they wrote

[@coreyharrison2551]

You better do ya research. Homie been dropping bodies since 2009...

[@TheRenaissanceAmazon]

No it’s not.

[@TheRenaissanceAmazon]

You sound ridiculous

[@egaal612]

It’s depends if the lyrics link him to the crime. 90s rappers used to rap about hypothetical situations. These drill rappers rap about catching bodies irl big difference. A lot of these rappers end up shooting each other because they dissed a dead homie in a track. I really don’t feel sorry for rappers.

[@joey_ricciardi117]

Facts! Rapping can be direct, or words can be used as a metaphor... Lyrics could have so many different meanings depending on the one who writes them. Playing that in court is so so dumb. I could literally rap about catching a 1000 bodies in a day. Lol. That could mean so much, so many different things. as dumb as it sounds.

[@R3IgnSupreme]

The cameraman in the court room is the opps. Showing the jury is unacceptable.

The state got plea deals by color of law EXTORTION. Withholding bond for people who aren't legally literate and can't afford the many millions of dollars this trial is going to cost is a CLEAR VIOLATION of law and the right to bond. This abuse of power was enforced by ural, the same judge overruling legitimate defense objections. The state cried no bond because these people are dangers to society. 🤔😌Yet , turned around and gave them plea deals as state's witnesses to immediately release these people to the community 🤔🗂️

Exactly. Plus if they knew for all these years what was going on , why now ??? The only reason they want to prosecute Jeffery is bc he have money and can possible change the destruction of black communities. They do not want to see black ppl succeed. I don’t care what they did especially if they been doing it and no one did anything about it until one became a millionaire . They know whose in gangs .

The strong piece of evidence is probably going to be when the ysl crew who took plea deals will testify against young thug and the other co defendants saying, “Young thug is the king pin and ysl is a gang.” Dozens of former members who are in prison will testify against him.

This isn’t culture it’s a bunch of garbage. A lot of these rappers who rap about it have to be about it. Rappers who put caps in their raps aren’t respected.

Well if they have committed crimes and have proof go for it! I’m the daughter of a cop so I don’t support criminal behavior.

Never have been. Soooooo who’s gonna go after those criminals. You should pull the fbi website and see who has the most ppl imprisoned and top real thugs.

[@zenamichelleprincezeemiche4729]

You can't kill then write a song about killing someone and then deflect art. Rap is far from Art.

[@magikindian]

What are you talking about??? That's American culture and we are buying it hook line and sinker. If they don't kill and boast about it, how do they gain credibility and get noticed by little thugs????

[@REALmills]

It's not difficult to understand. If you committed an actual crime, dont rap about it, and it can't be used in court against you. If you didn't commit a crime, you're fine to rap about a crime. It can't be used against you if it didn't actually happen. Rapping about crimes that actually happened is a good way to make people think you did it, especially if there is other evidence pointing towards you commiting it. The justice system is not going after people for "lyrics". It is going after people who allegedly committed actual crimes and then admitted to them on songs. Tupac didn't kill Biggie, this is why "hit em up" would never have been used in court, then or today.

[@REALmills]

Also, this guys ending statement is goofy AF. Young Thug's case is different because he rapped about crimes that actually happened, not because of how big of an artist he is, or because people don't like the type of music he makes. This is propaganda. It's not because he is black, is a rapper, or any other issue people want to make it about. It seems like Thug was actually breaking laws and then rapping about it, which is a spit in the face of the justice system if this is proven true. Society cannot allow this to happen without consequences. It's unfortunate he had a rough life before music, but it doesn't seem like he wanted to fully walk away from that life, and it doesn't give him a pass to commit felonies without consequence.

[@magikindian]

Rappers have to commit serious crimes in order to gain credibility. It's just like joining a gang.

[@REALmills]

Exactly, People on that jury need to understand that just because a person raps they did something doesn’t automatically mean they literally did that. Rap is about the fantasy for the most part. You could be broke and have no car but in your raps you are pushin phantoms and bentleys and maybachs. You coupd have never sold or touched drugs a day in your life but in your rapping be a drug kingpin. Most these guys are rapping about a fantasy of them or the real life of their friend or relative and actually never lived the life they rapped about. If they are gonna convict it should be on the basis or hardcore evidence like dna or what u see a person doing on camera. Convicting someone off a rap and nothing else would be like convicting an actor for murder cause they played a murderer in a movie. Young thug’s lawyer better make sure he has a jury that fully well understands this. I had to think back myself. Im older and much more mature now but when i was in my teens and 20s I wrote a lotta freestyle raps and what not and if they was using that against me based off the stuff i said I was doing in my raps they would have enough to lock me away for life. But that was a fantasy, I wasnt doing that stuff in real life I was rappin about.

Buncha dummys on this TV show lol a lot of ppl cover it this way too misrepresenting...nobody just gets in trouble for lyrics it's for rapping about a crime they committed ALLEGEDLY, and Lyrics are never the only evidence or even the most strong evidence they're like the icing on the cake evidence u can take it or leave it and they'd still have enough to bring charges,,but on the show it's just oo it's lyrics Blah blah it's against artists and 1st amendment blah blah

I think rappers at times make music that has a criminal aspect that could be used against them. Most rappers are affiliated with a gang or behave as one, that is the reason many are dead today. My question is why put those kinds of lyrics in music? It is not art to speak or rap about killing or having killed someone. It is not a good idea to put that information into a song. Murder and drug dealings are still illegal... It depends on how the music is geared, the state chooses a good song to bring to trial. The defense will have a difficult time as the majority of the indicted people have been given plea deals, and explaining lyrics to a song or songs presented into the court for evidence. The state charging 20+ people is difficult but it seems the process is coming along. I don't know enough about this case but I have major issues with the narrative of this case. I am becoming more and more disappointed in my own people. However, they have a job to do and maybe there is black people that listen to their news ideas.

[@magikindian]

It's not music and it cannot be called art. Society is very tolerant to those who have been deprived.

He rented a car for his friends to commit murder in he should get 20 years for that … when they raided his house he got caught with a gun that had a switch that’s 10 years old
