Anyone who's read a post of mine specifically on hardcore/gangsta rap knows my personal opinion on all the strutting peacock thuggery, gangs calling each other out under the guise of "music" and the over-glorification of gang/street/urban life beyond using life circumstances themselves to lay down the 411 real real on whazzup in these mean streets is a bunch of angry, provacative hogwash that leads to nothing good.

But, really? Being arrested and jailed at taxpayer expense for bein' a rhyme Busta? Mr. Prosecutor, please. YOU oughta be put in jail not only for dissin' the First Amendment, but also for misappropriation of taxpayer funds under the guidelines of your office, my homey.

Here's a really good editorial follow up complete with comments after the article.

Why ain't they all in jail? Most of them just for bad rhyming.
