[@triberedeyetv5971]

@@chitownbuck6389 i use to be a big rocafella fan. Jay was the one who got me into rapping and the artform. Beanie was the future. And after that one interview he spoke abt how Jay was in the same position as Liles and he straight up said "no." Beanie said that was the day he broke his heart as brothers and to this day, thats why he prolly would never work with Jay again. He aint diss him cuz he can add it up as to why he would say no as a business man. but he said that changed how he looked at him in regards to friendship/brotherhood bc he did things for Jay in honor of him that mightve put them in different seats in that court that day. But he was loyal to Jay in ways we dont really see today. Thats why even as a business man, Liles is doing a real solid move and actually feels close to Thug. Cuz ppl talkin but its actually more beneficial for him as a business move to detach from Thug due paperwork/insurance clauses that blatantly could charge Thug for being in a position to terminate his contractual obligations/expenses. Thats why they say RECOUP investment when artists sign and its based off a budget. Thug would be costing the biz money and reputation from this case. 300 wouldnt be a multimillion dollar business if they didnt have options to actually financially gain withouy assisting a business partner inder litigation. Thats why NBA is in a bidding war wit Atlantic despite being on house arrest. NBA has 100% ownership so if he falls, he still makes money without Atlantic and they want more pull on his ownership bc if he goes away, it aint like 300, theyll be shit out of luck on anything he releases from here on end.

We can’t advocate for black art at the expense of our community and young black boys and girls who will potentially create it🙅🏽‍♂️ I’ve met Kevin (I’m from his hometown) and although I think it’s cool to go to bat for your artist who is facing serious criminal charges, I find it troubling that he doesn’t advocate publicly or as passionately against the crime and violence that is plaguing his home town city. Over 300 murders for the last several years, vacant houses in abundance and the school systems, if in any other community, would be classified as a state of emergency. Would he be in that court room if Thugger was a mediocre artist? That would prove to me if it was really about protecting black art or his bottom line.

all that he said was great but it don't beat the fact drugs n murder was involved 💯

Mr. Liles is visibly emotional. as am i because this shit actually does hurt when you look at the bigger picture of this. i’m praying and hoping that the rest of these rappers just stop the gang gang shit. get your money. get out the hood. and stay the fuck out the way. God bless you Kevin Liles. Thugga…please my nigga, please let this be your final lesson. these people do not care about us or our culture. the fact that they’re attempting to use your lyrics against you in a court of law is gross. you don’t and won’t see Sylvester Stallone being questioned in a court of law about his portrayal as Rambo. you don’t and won’t ever see Denzel Washington in a court of law defending his portrayal of Alonzo in Training Day. it’s entertainment. you niggas gotta do better. i’m praying and hoping y’all do.

@@24KinfO oh i’m perfectly aware of all the particulars of this case. it’s disappointing all across the board. i only mentioned his lyrics being held against him bc they are to a degree. it’s been mentioned a number of times throughout the course of this ordeal. but most certainly not the nail in the coffin for these dudes.

[@dannyf3135]

I agree with Kevin Liles regarding lyrics, yes lyrics that are for entertainment purposes should not be able to used in court proceedings. However the very thing Hip Hop hangs it’s hat on and is so important is. ( I’m a real one I don’t cap in my raps, I rap about what I live. The problem with that is Murder, Robbery, Selling Dope, Criminal Gang Participation is illegal. Young Thug raps about all of the above and his lyrics have a direct connection at times to real life crimes that have happened. If tomorrow Justin Bieber starts singing about robbing banks and the banks that are robbed have surveillance of him in the vicinity prosecutor’s would use his lyrics against him. Sad state of affairs truly for YSL, had life by the short hairs but wanted to keep portraying and being street thugs so here they are. They don’t like it and are whining about the prosecution’s using the road maps to their crimes ( albums, lyrics, IG posts ) against them. Crazy, hope they can plead it down to something manageable. Their families will be able to visit still, family members of the men they participated in murdering can only talk to a tombstone.
