This is dumb, but I guess Young Thug is being accused of what is said on the site below, along with rap crew YSL:

Violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act by engaging in gang activity allegedly connected to multiple murders, shootings and a string of home invasions over almost a decade.

It's being said that they are focusing their attention on Atlanta rap crew YSL, as they think it's a gang, but Young Thug and others claim it's a collective of rappers and not a gang.

The prosecution is using lyrics that reference crime and violence as evidence, yet I don't think you should be able to do that.

As well, it looks like black rappers are stepping up to call out the double standard of black rappers music being used against them when we don't see it happen for most other artists out there.

Would they ever do this to Eminem or any of the other white/non-Black rappers, or would the courts and the attorneys make the argument that what they do is "freedom of expression", "creative freedom", and "artistic freedom / artistic expression" without (un)necessarily tying them to any crimes, gangs, hate groups, etc?

Did they even use lyrics as a weapon against 6ix9ine like they did with Bobby Shmurda?

A decent defense attorney can counter it. But on a macro level, free speech advocates need to be recruited to shame public prosecutors into not using it.

If the DA is an elected position or even an appointed one by the mayor, using lyrics in prosecution must be raised.

You're not gonna hear a peep from them. They're too busy caping for white racists and the alt-right and crying about how censorship (of their hate speech), reverse racism, the woke and their wokism, misandry, feminazis, Antifa, and others are out to get the straight white men and how everyone is oppressing white people even though most of them still have platforms as well as their freedom and white privilege. Heck these same free speech advocates especially support the systemic racist railroading and public lynching of Young Thug and they love every minute of it. They couldn’t care less about Young Thug's well-being or his innocence. In their WS minds, "that nigge is guilty" and he deserves to be buried under a prison. That's why they're so silent.

It's not enough of them to have almost unlimited white privilege. They need UNLIMITED white privilege at the expense of especially Black people.

    No Sis they wouldn't do this to the Great Hyped Cream Puff Eminem (a sweet hard shelled candy that's soft and sweet), he is off limits to all small hat phuckery.
