But that doesn’t mean that if someone finds his truck has been vandalized, all he needs to do is get a few friends together to create a story and she could be found guilty of the crime. Though it may sound absurd, the idea that the art one creates could be used as a weapon against him later on could clearly limit the creative expression of many. For people who grow up in places where they are constantly exposed to crime and violence as a reality of daily living, singing or rapping about their experiences or even just their thoughts on what is going on could be considered a healthy, viable way. For example there was a widely publicized case against a rapper from Baton Rouge, Louisiana named Torrence Hatch aka Lil Bossie, where the judge allowed his lyrics to be used to try and convict him, as well as several co-defendants, of several murders along with a slew of other charges.

It was a warm May evening, and I had just made it home. On my way through town I was passed by several police and fire vehicles, at the time I didn’t think anything of it. Little did I know I would run into those responders again that night. It was about seven thirty when my phone range, and I looked down to see it was my boss calling. Naturally at this point (I had been working for the funeral home for a little over a year and a half) I was not surprised to be called in, as I did the majority…
In terms of Rae Sremmurd’s “No Type,” he uses the same pronunciation as either Tyga or Lil Wayne. Sremmurd’s lyrics give off a repetitive feeling of modern approval and mass consumption of this type of music. Spreading the word of music has become so simple that a child with internet access could be affected by these set of ideals to early in their childhood. The music changes the way he or she thinks about what we deem right and wrong. Creating something is no easy task when it comes to music,…
