Rappers, more like crappers. Stupid rabbit, rap is just a brother of criminal activity FRONT 4!!!! EVERYONE KNOWS THIS AND TALKS ABOUT NO TALENT, NO LOWER CLASS LIFE!!!! HAWTHORN!!! The bill came months after rapper Yung Thug was indicted by a grand jury in Atlanta, Georgia, after he and other members of the YSL “criminal street gang,” of which Yung Thug is a co-founder, were charged with a series of crimes, including RICO violation, attempted murder and murder. The indictment cites the lyrics of nine of the artist`s songs, including “Smith & Wesson .45 put a hole in his heart / Better not play with me, killers they stay with me.” Yung Thug will be behind bars until his trial in January 2023; In June, he asked people to sign a petition calling on lawmakers to pass laws restricting the use of texts as forensic evidence. After the charges were dropped in 2017, he seemed to want to avoid future legal troubles. He told The Associated Press in April 2021 that he wanted to get away from his past, which put him in a “terrible brotherhood.” Legendary Golden Age New York spit Fat Joe had his share of legal problems, but ended up in jail for a somewhat trivial offense. In 1998, the MC was arrested for assault and robbery. He and fellow rapper Big Pun were accused of hitting a man with a baseball bat and stealing his gold necklace. Later, in 2002, Fat Joe was charged with another assault charge for arguing at the BB King`s Blues Club in New York City. However, neither charge remained, and Fat Joe did not see another decade in prison.
Fat Joe, in a case that had nothing to do with his youthful penchant for assault charges, first pleaded guilty in December 2012. Apparently, between 2007 and 2010, the rapper was about $3 million short of his income tax payments, and after pleading guilty, Fat Joe spent four months in jail. There is no easy jail time, but Joe must have been glad that the only charges he couldn`t avoid were something as trivial as tax evasion. In a press release, Johnson cited a 2021 federal judge`s finding in the case of a Philadelphia rapper: “Freddy Mercury did not confess to `just killing a man` by `holding a gun to his head` and `pulling the trigger.` And Johnny Cash did not confess to “shooting a man in Reno just to see him die.” Knox was found guilty of two counts of terrorist threats and two counts of intimidation of witnesses, which were upheld by the appellate courts. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court cited the specificity of rappers when it ruled that the song posed a “real threat to victims” that did not merit First Amendment protection. If you know three things about nightlife sensation Bobby Shmurda, you`ve probably heard that the Brooklyn rapper dropped the biggest hit of 2014, has a unique and hilarious relationship with social media (Google the Shmoney Dance) and now faces one of the longest lists of criminal charges in rap history. Such a legal standard was too low, the court ruled, with Chief Justice John Roberts writing: “Our position makes clear that negligence is not sufficient to justify a conviction.” Basically, it allows prosecutors to blame anyone and everyone in an entire group for the worst things someone around them has done. So if you`re a rapper and you`re connected to people who engage in criminal activity — maybe you all grew up on the same block, maybe you walked the same streets before moving on to entertainment, maybe you took them off the street for entertainment — prosecutors can take all of that and use RICO laws. to present you all as an organized crime syndicate.
To celebrate their return to the real world, a song for the first day follows. With that in mind, Gucci Mane probably comes to mind. He made an offer in 2009 for violating his probation, and then again in 2014 for being caught as a criminal with two guns. The list goes on. There are dozens of other rappers who have served or are serving prison sentences. See below for more details on who and why. Another pending case that is again in the early stages of development while this list is in a hurry is so big and shocking that it deserves a place, even if the criminal in question is not a rapper. Suge Knight, the legendary hip-hop mogul behind Tupac and Dr.
Dre`s “Death Row” label, allegedly hit and killed a man with his car on January 29, 2015. Suge Knight is being held for up to $2 million on bail, and it`s unclear how big the case against him will be. Regardless, this isn`t Suge`s first run-in with the law: the tycoon spent time in prison from 1997 to 2001 for violating his probation conditions resulting from a previous assault case. Whether or not Mr. Knight is convicted of the recent murder charges, it`s clear that this infamous tycoon doesn`t have much sweetness about it. Although the details of the RAP Act state that “evidence of a defendant`s creative or artistic expression, whether original or derivative, is not admissible against such a defendant in criminal proceedings,” most of the bill`s language is issued for legal guidance on when texts may be lawfully admitted into evidence. If you take their word for it, more than half of the rappers in the hip-hop world should be convicted criminals. From drug trafficking to arms smuggling to street fighting, rap music and crime are inextricably linked to hundreds of MCs in rap history. So many rappers pretend to be thugs, gangsters and criminals, but how many are there really? Of course, for the vast majority of artists, these alleged criminal activities are little more than a flashy and fun way to fill the time for success.
