Matt Roush says...
A provocative documentary explores the trend of rap lyrics being used as evidence in trials—for more than 700 criminal court cases since the 1990s. Bronx rapper Kemba leads the discussion, which goes to the heart of the free-speech debate, with rappers, scholars, politicians, legal and music industry experts weighing in.
