You answered your own question to a large extent. They just knew when to chill.Maybe one of these days you can explain to me how admitted drug dealers, easy E and Jay Z, avoided being on the government's radar. In fact, Suge got away with a lot until he just didn't know when to chill.
What changed that now folks are going after rappers, using their art against them?
States weren't using RICO then. Can you point a finger at stuff Easy was doing once he went legit?Maybe one of these days you can explain to me how admitted drug dealers, easy E and Jay Z, avoided being on the government's radar.

Not saying he was doing anything illegal after he started ruthless (other than threatening to kill ice cube.. Lol), but back in those days police were quick to confiscate ANYTHING tied to drug money.States weren't using RICO then. Can you point a finger at stuff Easy was doing once he went legit?
So if they was quick to confiscate and his shit wasn't that tells you all you need to know.Not saying he was doing anything illegal after he started ruthless (other than threatening to kill ice cube.. Lol), but back in those days police were quick to confiscate ANYTHING tied to drug money.
Man this trial is taking long. Need them to speed up their decision and rid Atlanta of trash that only keeps us down. It be disgusting when I see posts on IG regarding this trial. Lots of cats talking bout, "free thugga." "Thug is innocent," like fuck all them niggaz, they do a lot of dirt and that shit comes back to you.
Jay Z drug story was always questionable so I understood that may have been a bullshit story. Easy and Suge where both known gangstas and Easy was supposedly a legit dealer at one point.So if they was quick to confiscate and his shit wasn't that tells you all you need to know.
sorry for the double response, but I wanted to highlight that this is what I would have expected for Ruthless and maybe death row at some point.So if they was quick to confiscate and his shit wasn't that tells you all you need to know.
Fareal, like the law ain't gone connect the two. Shit reminds me of that scene from the wire when Stringer Bell told the nigga who was taking notes during their meetings. He asked," is you taking notes on a criminal fuckin conspiracy?"My buddy who college educated talking about the government wrong for using his lyrics because its art. I'm like neegah when your art is corroborated with crimes committed that shit ain't art no more. When you saying you real in these streets then rapping about crimes that shit ain't art. Them dudes literally giving statements to crimes.
This was actually sad. Multiple adults (family, teachers, etc.) failed this man when he was a child.

Prosecutors trying to get him to snitch on lebron for the Rico
Because they were not rapping about actual crimes they recently committed, including murder for hire. They were not on the internet throwing up gang signs and holding weapons. The list can go onMaybe one of these days you can explain to me how admitted drug dealers, easy E and Jay Z, avoided being on the government's radar.

true but they were often doing interviews talking about their drug dealing days, so there's that.Because they were not rapping about actual crimes they recently committed, including murder for hire. They were not on the internet throwing up gang signs and holding weapons. The list can go on
Yeah but there not bragging about homicides. You can only bust somebody for drug dealing during a transaction. The things they were talking about was past tense. They were out of the game by then you can't bust somebody when they're legit. It's like being high in prohibited states. The cops can't do nothing if you're already high and done smoking they ain't gonna fuck with you for being high.true but they were often doing interviews talking about their drug dealing days, so there's that.
