Killer Rhymes

Very happy that CBS This Morning did a segment today featuring our work on the use of rap lyrics as evidence.  For the last few months, media focus has been on a NJ Supreme Court case (State v. Vonte Skinner) involving the admissibility of rap lyrics, but our hope is that, moving forward, we can draw attention to the hundreds of other cases that have essentially criminalized rap music.  That’s certainly our goal as we push ahead with our scholarship.
