READ [EPUB] Rap on Trial: Race, Lyrics, and Guilt in America by Erik Nielson Read Online Rap on Trial: Race, Lyrics, and Guilt in America by Erik Nielson is a great book to read and that's why I recommend reading or downloading ebook Rap on Trial: Race, Lyrics, and Guilt in America for free in any format with visit the link button below. **Read Book Here ==> https://sr-kindle-lancar.blogspot.com/51219890-rap-on-trial **Download Book Here ==> https://sr-kindle-lancar.blogspot.com/51219890-rap-on-trial Book Synopsis : A groundbreaking exposé about the alarming use of rap lyrics as criminal evidence to convict and incarcerate young men of color Should Johnny Cash have been charged with murder after he sang, “I shot a man in Reno just to watch him dieâ€Â? Few would seriously subscribe to this notion of justice. Yet in 2001, a rapper named Mac whose music had gained national recognition was convicted of manslaughter after the prosecutor quoted liberally from his album Shell Shocked. Mac was sentenced to thirty years in prison, where he remains. And his case is just one of many nationwide. Over the last three decades, as rap became increasingly popular, prosecutors saw an opportunity: they could present the sometimes violent, crime-laden lyrics of amateur rappers as confessions to crimes, threats of violence, or revelations of criminal motiveâ€â€and judges and juries would go along with it. They’ve reopened cold cases, alleged gang affiliation, and secured convictions by presenting the lyrics and videos of rappers as autobiography. Now, an alarming number of aspiring rappers are imprisoned. No other form of creative expression is treated this way in the courts. Rap on Trial places this disturbing prosecutorial practice in the context of hip-hop history and exposes what’s at stake. It’s a gripping, timely exploration at the crossroads of contemporary hip-hop and mass incarceration.
