These are not my personal thoughts, but they are my personal thoughts through my music, and I should be allowed to have artistic freedom when I'm singing.

Because as we mentioned, when you go on the stand, your character comes on and the jury is going to be allowed to hear like, why would you sing and why would you rap?

Prosecutors, on the other hand, are saying that when you look at rap lyrics, these are usually first-person encounters of a person's narrative of their thoughts, and we should be able to utilize them in the prosecution of them.

It would take a depraved mind to rap about so such things.

And maybe that's why you did it.

So again, to answer your question, the long winded away.

And so what judges have to do, Anushka, is do a careful balance to make sure if they are going to allow the rap lyrics in, they are for a specific part of the case and not just poetic freedom.

Where this gets a little deeper is if an individual takes the stand.

Again, we're talking in complete hyperbole.

Let's say the trial happens.

And I don't want to keep saying David's name because that's unfair.

But let's say a trial happens and someone takes the stand who has been accused of killing a young girl.

And he gets on the stand and says something to the fact of that's disgusting.

I would never do that.

Whoever would do that, whoever would say that, whoever would joke that is a bad person.

Well, that opens door for all the rap lyrics to come in and start asking questions about it and asking him questions about why would you say that?

Because as we mentioned, when you go on the stand, your character comes on and the jury is going to be allowed to hear like, why would you sing and why would you rap?

And not to be the correct professor, but if it is ruled a homicide and then the prosecutor chooses to charge with murder, there are certain things that are called special circumstances, right?

It would take a depraved mind to rap about so such things.

And looking in there, yes, it could increase depending on the special circumstances in California, depending on what they find.
