Drake loses lawsuit against Universal Music Group.
Kendrick Lamar makes a rap “Not Like Us” in which he insinuates that Drake has inappropriate relations minors. Judge tosses the case out citing the diss tracks each have made against each other. UMG honors the decision. Drake’s team says they’ll appeal the decision.

First of all, I feel like this 💩 only happens in ‘Murica.

Should we draw lines when it comes to speech, or should we let artists push the boundaries of speech? Should all speech be free speech?

If Drake’s team appeals & wins, what does that mean for the future of rap battles?

Sorry this has nothing to do with your topic and I don't even know anything about it but I feel like you may need this. I was posting it in another discussion when just before I came here, Good luck with this topic here on OT.

I watch a little from the rap and I'm going to be honest I'am so high I could not understand any of it or it just me , sooo I watch another with word and I see why they hate it, isn't that what rap battle music is about thou? I've watch a about under a dozen rap battle's and its not my speed but that the whole stick right? You rap then they rap back and I just thought that's what they were doing, I mean maybe they are getting too personal but still that is what a rap battle is to me.

A argument could be made maybe for slander in a legal sense and a few other things and that seems to be whats happening. I'm sorry i just don't have the care or real knowledge to give any more then this.

Thanks for you talk about the X-men thing, it was the best conversation I've had today.

IF THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TOPIC (STEAM TEAM) WHY IS THIS POST NOT BEING (TOOK DOWN)
Slander is slander whether it's in a song or not, this case is different because the 2 are both doing it and can be seen as consent to do so.

In the same way that a judge anywhere in the world would be facepalming if 2 guys willingly decided to have a fight in the street, they would typically not be charged with assaulting eachother if both consented to the act, instead being charged for the impact on the people who had to witness the manchilds.

The ruling by the judge is correct, 2 people that both need to think about their actions and are both as bad as each other and is a way to tell both of them to grow up.

This ruling does not change cases where one person is targeting others with slander.

Topic on this evaluation feels pretty pointless.

Who even is that

rap battles went away because lines like this could result in a law suit.

average rap battler career goes:

I'm a nobody
I got someone to diss me so hard I have an actionable case, and sued them for money to live off of
I'm going to be here every week, being a nobody, because I'm living off that check.
Oh man my delicate feelings are actionable again; oh no! I can't sue myself!
