ReasonTV | They make him send his rap lyrics to the feds!? @ReasonTV | Uploaded 2 months ago | Updated 4 minutes ago
A federal judge ruled that B.G., a rapper known for the hit 1999 song "Bling Bling," must give the government copies of the lyrics to any new songs as a condition of his supervised release. While prosecutors can generally place a wide range of otherwise illegal restrictions on released prisoners' conduct, critics argue this restriction is an unconstitutional prior restraint on speech. #music #rap #freespeech
