first amendment? people been making up fictional stories about death since Hector and Achilles and Gilgamesh. We need actual evidence to convict

No more than a method actor's roles be used against him. But some of them are what they rap about.

reminds me of how Mitchy Slick said they use this guy from San Diego
Tiny Madhatta lyrics against him.

depends on the situation, in the case in this video there clearly isnt enough evidence

 

[TRFG]

Depends if the rapper was dumb enough to actual record an actual killing and the cops connected the dots with real evidence

i often wonder this when it comes to guys like X-Raided or Don Diego, as it pertains to they subject matter and how both of these guys are lock down.

Slippery slope.

I'm fine with detectives listening to lysirc in case some fool drops hints on there of actual sh!t they did but i don't think it can be evidence in most cases. Ot's prejudicial.


HOWEVER

The guy at the 7:00 mark makes a good point between 7:00-7:14. Sure it's an act and should NOT be allowed as evidence but you can't blame people for forming opinions about you if you not only portray that person in the video and onstage but also try to act it out in interviews too.
