The use of rap lyrics as evidence in court against artists like Young Thug and Lil Durk raises concerns about artistic freedom and the implications it has for hip-hop culture.
Experts highlight the dangerous precedent set by using artists’ lyrics in legal battles, which may discourage new voices and limit creative expression in hip-hop.
Industry leaders argue that the current legal climate poses a threat not only to established artists but also to aspiring musicians who may self-censor to avoid scrutiny.
The phenomenon of prosecuting artists based on their lyrics risks turning hip-hop, a genre that often reflects personal truths, into a legal minefield for its creators.
