Serious question about rap lyrics...
 
If I make a song threatening injury or even death to someone I know, and release it, can they take it to the police and press charges against me?

I don't think that is a problem at all... How many illegal things have rappers rapped about?

If the dude did press charges, you would definitely win with a half-decent lawyer.

WhoAmI 05-19-07 11:09 AM

they could use it as proof of premeditation in the event that you actually DO kill someone

i would think you'd be ok..unless that guy DID get his ass whooped or hurt within the next year or more....

cuz then u'd be suspect #1...lol

without mentioning names, there's nothing they can really do. They dont really care i think. The only reason that they dont/wont use it is because of the entire face that rap music has... random violent threats. The thing is, majority of these are just talk, so i doubt any specific one would be taken seriously. Even look at the lack of reaction to 50s song "Heat" in which he says "somethin somethin i give a fuck if i get caught? the DA can play this mother fuckin tape in court. i'll kill you, i aint playin, you hear what im sayin homie i aint playin".

It's freedom of speech, but if something does happen to him you would be the first person questioned. So um watch what you say and do.

Theyve done it with schools and stuff, with expulsions and stuff just for lyrics, so ther is a possibility, but really... you'd be fine if you had a decent lawyer if ANY issue arose of course..

Tha .Q 05-19-07 03:56 PM
