It seemed really far fetched to me to draw a straight line between Tipper Gore - who was worried about lyrics theoretically influencing people - and young thug - who is accused of organizing actual crimes that he brags he organized. I don’t see the comparison at all: the latter is not a moral panic about lyrics. It’s the crimes people are worried about.

Yeah I just don't see the free speech argument at all. Obviously if someone is talking about crimes generally, and gets caught up in some specific offense that isn't relevant.
But if I am writing long historical fiction novels where women are frequently tortured on a rack and then hung, and then my girlfriend is tortured on a rack and then hung hung and people think I did it...well it seems like you should be able to bring that up at trial.
It doesn't have anything to do with "blackness" or "rap music" and is instead just about common sense and reasonable evidence.
Yeah. There was a prof who was accused of being inappropriate with female students. When they found his erotic fiction about his students it was used as evidence.
They spend some time getting into the similarities in the two culture wars, but based on the second half of the first episode in the series I think they’re going to start in on distinguishing them next.
