Spin: “Free Lil Boosie’s Lyrics! Rap On Trial, Again.”

12 comments


This week’s column is about Lil Boosie and the possibility that his lyrics will be used against him in his upcoming murder trial, which is absolutely ridiculous.

One of the more ridiculous critiques lobbed at hip-hop, from both outsiders dismissive of the genre and old-head traditionalists upset at where the music’s ended up, is that gangsta rappers rarely tell the truth in their rhymes. Besides just being irrelevant, it’s one of those zingers that sounds good, but unravels the moment it’s given any thought. Mostly because there’s an implicit suggestion that such grumbling would stop if rappers actually got out there and hustled or committed violence. Only a small group of street-minded knuckleheads seriously expect such authenticity, right?

Apparently, a Louisiana district attorney does, as well.

When not piling on the sentimentality, BoosieJustice.Com, the website for Baton Rouge rapper Lil Boosie, who currently faces a first-degree murder charge, attempts to examine the injustices in his case. The “About” page cites the lack of evidence, the fact that Boosie’s involvement hinges on the words of a criminal offered a deal for naming other conspirators, that the rapper’s been a target of police for quite some time (due to politically charged songs like “Dirty World,” it suggests), and perhaps most disturbingly, the use of Boosie’s lyrics as evidence against him.

  12. Don’t let fat cost-free or perhaps gentle meals trick anyone; them usually comprise copious amounts connected with
    one more unhealthy element. Individuals who have underlying medical condition should
    also consult a physician before taking this diet pill.
