Key and Peele is once again ahead of it’s time.
The black dude and white dude are logical. The woman in this conversation is an oblivious person.
Key & Peele predicted this seven years ago.

I believe the prosecutor 100%.
Why live in Georgia
The point is you can't ride two horses with one hand. If you in the streets, then don't be in the studio or on stage telling on yourself. You don't see an actor playing a role of murder then being a murderer.
Say all you want to support rap music, but a lot of it depicts pretty despicable behavior and promotes that kinda culture in the community
START LOCKING THESE MONKEYS UP
Rapper's and Black's have been bragging about committing crimes, destroying communities, and so much more for a Very Long Time All You Have To Do Is Listen
This Shouldn't Be Suprising To Anyone And It's The Usual Suspects
Hearing ppl court properly read rap lyrics is funny af 😂
Kind of like Trump was talking about on June the 6th
This is not art imitating life, this is life imitating art
They got white people in high places who are very mad with them. They're in deep trouble.
Al Pacino is a mob boss i have 9 hours of evidence. John Wayne murdered 150 people! Winnie the Pooh has an unlicensed firearm!
Sounds like he incriminate himself.. dumbasses… OG rappers have been warning these guys for decades now regarding g what they put out in vids and music

Good Riddance
AMERIKKKA SUCKS
Why The KKK Never Got A RICO
And Dave Chappelle is a hero.
You would think that after becoming a A/B celebrity music artist they wouldn't be willing to risk their careers with criminal gang activity 🤦♂️ this is why you need to appreciate what you have and chill the F out !
Art?! That s…t ain't 🎭🎨 art
No one thought johnny cash was going to shoot a man in Reno just to watch him die! Well said. I feel like if they didn't live in the south this might not be happening.
You know, OJ wrote that book AFTER the acquittal. Ever heard of double jeopardy? That's why it could be true. Because they can't prosecute him after an acquittal. Was he previously known as a fiction writer? Not that I recall.
Free thug and Gunna 🙏🙏🙏.
No bond but the dude who jumped on the stage with a knife walks
I would just get me a ghost writer.
