Episode notes

Prosecutors have brought up several times in hearings that they again allege that Young Thug is the leader of YSL, the criminal street gang. The question of whether or not rap lyrics should be admissible in court will come up on today's explain. You know, rap is free speech. Rap is poetry. It's literature. It's drama and it's storytelling. And it should not be criminalized.

Two of the biggest rappers in the world, Young Thug and Gunna, are behind bars. And their bars will likely be used as evidence when they go to trial.

This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Efim Shapiro, and edited and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
