California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law on Friday that limits the use of rap lyrics in criminal court cases in the state.
Democratic US Reps. Hank Johnson of Georgia and Jamaal Bowman of New York proposed legislation in July that would ban lyrics from being used as evidence in legal claims though there has been no movement on the legislation in the House since its referral to the House Judiciary Committee. In addition to limiting the use of rap lyrics in California criminal court proceedings, the legislation, which passed unanimously in the California state Senate and Assembly, also encompasses the use of "performance art, visual art, poetry, literature, film, and other media."
Newsom signs the most worthless bills.
Considering America hates art this is actually good news
Tupak and Biggie are turning over in the graves.

Well, that’s a relief. Now, paying over $6 a gallon won’t feel so bad. It’s great having a governor looking out for our well-being.

😂😂😂
rappers should be able to express themselves freely without telling on themselves. nice
hmmm what
so far every bill this Governor has passed is to protect criminals & cater to children who are 'confused'- not 1 bill has been passed in favor of law abiding citizens who pay taxes & don't suffer from pronoun titles- & still hasn't implemented daylight savings that was voted out.
Is this Newsom clown think he's King to tell us what type of cars to drive and what type of evidence is allowed in court?
I was afraid to start but when I did I was so happy ,I took your guidance seriously and I made over $10,000 I will forever remain grateful to you Nick_messina_
God forbid people should demonize gangbanging instead of police. Blacks between the ages of 14 and 17 commit gun homicide at more than 10 times the rate of white and Hispanic teenagers combined.
Hard at work addressing the REAL issues… smh
Just stop rapping about crimes problem solved
All the problems California has and this is what they are worried about?
Thats a rap trap when 'they' use lyrics to convict poc.
