Parallel to its popularity, however, there has been an increasing legal spotlight on its lyrics.

Indeed, high-profile court cases have seen musical bars lead to artists being put behind bars. A reality that has ignited ample debate around how just such a practice is.

Paramount+ shines a light on the discourse in the powerful new documentary ‘As We Speak: Rap Music on Trial.’

Helmed by J.M. Harper, the powerful special follows Bronx Rap artist Kemba as he delves deep into the growing weaponization of Rap lyrics in the US criminal justice system and beyond.

Real love isn’t exactly what Summer Walker was on the receiving end of after some staunch Mary J. Blige fans copped a gander at her tribute performance on the 2024 Urban One Honors on Sunday (February 25).

Taking to the stage to deliver a medley of the Hip Hop Soul Queen’s hits like ‘Real Love,’ ‘My Life,’ and more, Walker royally divided viewers with her homage to Blige (on hand to receive the night’s Icon Award). So much so, some of them took to social media in droves to share their displeasure with the performance.

Indirectly seeking justice in the court of public opinion for his client, Justice Baiden – Summer’s manager – took to social media himself this week to admonish critics for using their platforms to tear down artists overall.

Look inside to see what he said.
