Based largely on a rap he wrote, and accounts of two witnesses given years after the shooting, rapper Antwain Steward was arrested and charged with double murder. Critics contend rap is a musical art form that should not be taken as evidence of criminal behavior. But some prosecutors say they don't buy the argument that the work is all fiction.

I propped you because I agree, but the rap game is different in the sense that a lot of rappers are not artist. A lot can not sit & create a song as an artist. They brag & boast about how real they're lyrics are & it can be a catch 22.

I think this topic is a loose term. It's probably not just lyrics that are convicting these artist. It's details in a case that perhaps only the person who committed the crime may know. Can it be a case of, "When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong?"
or coincidence?

Plus, flashing guns & drugs on videos doesn't help when your trying to convince a jury you don't own a gun & are not gang affiliated. Perhaps not a registered gun, but you sure had a piece in your hand in that music video LOL! By the time you take it off YouTube the D.A. & cops ripped it off your channel & is in they're possession.

I think this is far beyond lyrics. Yes, they're stating "lyrics," but the system is covering their ass & twisting it good to make it stick to your ass.

Best bet is keep your code of silence, don't incriminate yourself on video & give up the rap shit unless you can be a real artist & CREATE a song.

But how can you draw the line and say, this rapper right here is an artist who raps about a fantasy world and this rapper right here raps about his actual daily life. It's bullshit.

How about rappers that act? Or actors that rap?

This is seriously retarded.
