  1. If that’s all the evidence they have then they don’t have any evidence

  2. Actors as well need to be charged then. Because it’s all an act.

  3. WHO NAMES THEM SELF YOUNG THUG THE RAPPERAND NOT IN THE STREETS.. SOME OF YALL LOST

  4. Flip side alot of artist lie in their music.. They will tell other peoples stories as well not their own, so they need not use lyrics as evidence but they do all the time

  5. Hafe to be honest this judge been against thugger the whole time he's inching to sentence this man he can't wait. He get mad when something go the defense way you can see it in his eyes. He can't wait to sentence thugger if found guilty. And trust me he's going give thugger are the time he can . And feal good about it. My opinion

  6. They don't have no evidence so now they're turning the court into a club

  7. This shouldn't be allowed so now we don't have freedom of speech????

  8. We all know what this about 😉

  9. Its shocking how many people are against this. Like hes a murderer. Be happy they got him. Who gives af if you like his music, hes a killer. If its more important to you that rappers can say whatever they want than it is a murderer being caught you REALLY need to do some self evaluation. Because thats a disgusting and pathetic mindset. What if it was your dad or brother he killed? Would you still be on his side?

  10. This is some bullshit . Conditional for purposes to destroy where they choose . Apparently young thug is NOT AFFILIATED WITH 12 because his rights as an American citizen are being trampled to fit the needs of powers that be . Shame on y'all . Yo . Young thug u need to remember your creator , the most HIGH YOUR GOD !!! THIS MAN MADE PLATFORM OF JUDGEMENT IS ILLEGAL IN ITSELF . YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT A REVERSE RICO CAUSE I SWEAR THEY ORGANIZED TO TAKE YALL OUT .. Just a thought . SHAME ON THOSE WHO BELIEVE THEY ARE FIT AND WORTHY TO JUDGE ANYONE . LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE … WAITING …. WAITING … BULLSHIT BIAS IS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS GOING TO BE PRESENT THEREFORE NEVER A FAIR TRIAL CAN BE OBTAINED . SIMPLE MATH . I WILL BE OVER HERE WAITIN ON NEXT DOSE OF FUCKERY . READY TO GO … TO MY FINAL RESTING PLACE .

  11. Rappers better be careful in the future of what they say on songs. This was bound to happen, if not him then someone else. Rap, there IS alot of violence. I like rap music, but can you blame them. Just saying. Stop putting ayour dirty laundry in the streets for the world. Sometimes, keep it to your self fam

  12. 🎉🎉 Similar To The Boosie BadAzz Trial🎉🎉

  13. Their is so many loopholes in this lyrics use by the prosecution against young thugs its evident it will be overtutned on appeal. For example everyone knows these rappers use drugs in the studio while recording thats part of the culture. State of mind when the confessions were made is relevant. 😮

  14. I hope rappers don't censor themselves now it will suck every one should go show love and support to thugs music

  15. My curiosity is waiting to see if Donald Trumps lawyers will argue the same …not to use his speechs against him at trial they will be prejudicial to his trail he was only campaigning and really did not mean what he said…just to please the crowd 😊

  16. 50 cent sweating packing his stuff in a private jet right now
