  1. I wholeheartedly support them using those lyrics. If anyone is causing violence, then they need to be taken off the street by any means necessary. And they shouldn’t just use this in rap either, even the rap is the only genre of music that talks about real violence in that way.

  2. lmfao no not with someone’s freedom on the line we need to be serious rappers lie in their lyrics all the time to sound cool or rhyme with the beat trust me

  3. Cue all the self righteous “come and take it” “don’t tread on me” flag waivers lacking the ability to participate in the nuance of the conversation

  4. This district attorney Fanni Willis should be fired… this is all a political stunt, from an overzealous DA that wants her name in the forefront for personal benefit. If your only evidence is music writen by the defendant, that's not evidence, it's hearsay. If musical lyrics are evidence why didn't a DA go after Johnny Cash, Freddy Mercury, Bob Marley, etc… for murder, which those artists also claimed in their music? What a joke and a waste of the tax payers money. This is harassment and defamation. If no actual evidence to prove this RICO case is presented, plus his lawyer can't win a counterclaim against this county, not only is he a horrible lawyer, but this will go from a travesty to a tragedy. This is AMERICA, we have the right to free speech. The Supreme Court has said the Free Speech Clause protects false speech when viewed as a broad category, which by definition includes music (a music genre is a broad category). What a tremendous waste of this mans time and life, which hopefully the county will have to pay for, all due to greed in one form or another, in this case from the DA Fanni Willis. 🤦🏽‍♂️

  5. Gunna has no say he has to testify if he doesn't he will have his plea deal revoked he can't finesse the courts and come back and claim the 5th . He is another 69

  6. If these rappers were smart they would argue that “rap” is just an art like a movie. Just because you see Robert DeNiro killing Pesci in a movie doesn’t mean DeNiro is a real killer or bad guy. Can’t say the same for Alec Baldwin though lol.

    But yea rap lyrics should not be used in court of law, that would cause all new rappers to censor their art, limit their lyrics and story telling. SO yeah IT SHOULD NOT BE USED. Tay K shouldn’t fought that case.

  7. Maybe if this ‘certain community is disproportionately affected’ it’s because rap glorifies violence and drug use and we shouldn’t be rewarding that behavior?? Just a thought lady 🤯

  8. This is an embarrassing report. It’s one of those times when I am smarter than the editor. I hate that. Here’s the thing: his lyrics have already been used against him. Therefore they have, and they will. Try to think before you make a video. Seriously.
