520    A groundbreaking exposé about the alarming use of rap 
       lyrics as criminal evidence to convict and incarcerate 
       young men of color. Should Johnny Cash have been charged 
       with murder after he sang, "I shot a man in Reno just to 
       watch him die"? Few would seriously subscribe to this 
       notion of justice. Yet in 2001, a rapper named Mac whose 
       music had gained national recognition was convicted of 
       manslaughter after the prosecutor quoted liberally from 
       his album Shell Shocked. Mac was sentenced to thirty years
       in prison, where he remains. And his case is just one of 
       many nationwide. Over the last three decades, as rap 
       became increasingly popular, prosecutors saw an 
       opportunity: they could present the sometimes violent, 
       crime-laden lyrics of amateur rappers as confessions to 
       crimes, threats of violence, evidence of gang affiliation,
       or revelations of criminal motive--and judges and juries 
       would go along with it. Detectives have reopened cold 
       cases on account of rap lyrics and videos alone, and 
       prosecutors have secured convictions by presenting such 
       lyrics and videos of rappers as autobiography. Now, an 
       alarming number of aspiring rappers are imprisoned. No 
       other form of creative expression is treated this way in 
       the courts. Rap on Trial places this disturbing practice 
       in the context of hip hop history and exposes what's at 
       stake. It's a gripping, timely exploration at the 
       crossroads of contemporary hip hop and mass incarceration.
