Official Young Thug, YSL RICO Trial — GA v. Jeffery Williams, et al Thread

[Trey0'5Blue2Gz]

If they can prove he legit is connected to some of these crimes I fully want him in jail. People do get caught up in the music on that fan fare shyt over the reality that his people were terrorizing people in Atlanta that led to murders , carjacking, and violent crimes on the citizens of this city. Now if they can’t prove he directly caused those things then justice needs to reflect that

I understand your sentiment. And I'll be lying if I said I trust the justice system in this country. Especially when it pertains to us.

My thing is when people start getting all extra and saying shyt like "idc what he did free thug" type of shyt. Just because he makes music they like.

You can tell these people haven't been impacted by death in their lives when they say dumb shyt like that.

I don’t want him free, I know he did that shyt.

Man I’m someone who definitely believes rap has a negative effect on the youth. I believe that young thug people definitely have been terrorizing Atlanta streets and if he is responsible for some of that he deserves to sit where he at right now. But fat Joe of all people had a good point. Everything gangster rappers rap about is in close correlation to a news event that happens everyday that takes place on the streets, because it’s usually always violent content and 99% of rappers are just selling fiction . Yes in this case we definitely do have a dumb ass rapper who has admitted factual shyt in his songs… (“shot at his mommy, now he longer mention me”-bad boy) …atleast some of it.

But legally it’s too much of a grey area to where a person on the jury has to battle with the fact vs fiction debate. It should just be banned as any type of evidence legally going forward . Setting a precedent.. A federal ban on using music as evidence across the US.. physical evidence should always speak to itself, because there will be cases where someone does get caught for something that the prosecution will seek to connect to his music even if it has nothing to do with it. So for the laws sake this should just be a uniform rejection of using a source of entertainment as a standard for truth. Should not be taken into consideration..

It’s vague and not universally applied.

I wouldn’t be honing in on the violence mentioned (in lyrics unless it was so specific to be direct) as proof, but rather the many Blood references/calls, and the general prevalence of violent/arms in Thug’s lyrics to paint the picture of who he is from his own mouth.

Of course you have people like Ar-Ab though who hall monitor escort themselves into a prison, I’m sure police and prosecutors appreciate people like him.

Shut up Joe, you did all that shyt lol. nikka spent his whole career telling us he the realest and toughest and now he lied in all his raps lol.

The whole lyrics convo is to much for me at the moment, but it's not a simple debate, I think the prosecutor said it right, we didn't follow lyrics to match the murders, we followed murders and found the lyrics.

These guys are RAPPING IN DETAIL and posting about actual murders. Joe didn't do that in the 90's. 90's rappers shouted out street guys, but not names and locations of killings they ordered or committed. That started around the 50 Cent era maybe. But even 50 never really got down like that. And for sure not Joe, Jay, and honestly those guys were HUSTLERS first, not gang members. Thug is the opposite. It wasn't about drugs or kilos, it was about killing.

All these rappers calling for all this outrage are misguided to me.

What the holy fukk is going on with this prosecution team

You can't watch these little clips. The defense lawyers and prosecutors are laying groundwork, for larger points sometimes. They spend 30 minutes with these people. More. An hour on the stand. And they try to lead them into places for the jury to follow. When you cut it into these little videos, it comes off all weird. That woman is doing a disservice, and is clearly working this for maximum drama and views. She's practically hysterical if the judge calls the attorneys in for a closed door session. That happens in EVERY SINGLE TRIAL.

Steele is doing standard tactics when the defense has nothing. Not he wasn't there, not he didn't say that or do that, but procedural stuff, as in we shouldn't even be here.
