Some artists may glorify that, but other artists either decry it or offer it as a tragic reality. In hip-hop trends build off of music and music builds off of trends in a cyclical manner.

  • Rapp Snitch Knishes: the Danger of Using Gangster Rap Lyrics to Prove Defendants’ Character
    RAPP SNITCH KNISHES: THE DANGER OF USING GANGSTER RAP LYRICS TO PROVE DEFENDANTS’ CHARACTER Rap Snitches, Telling all their business/ Sit in the court and be their own star witness/ Do you see the perpetrator? – Yeah I’m right here/ Fuck around, get the whole label sent up for years.1 -- From Rapp Snitch Knishes (2004) INTRODUCTION Suppose the year is 1842. The dismembered body of a man has been found beneath the floorboards of a home in the city of Baltimore. The prime suspect in this homicide is current Baltimore resident, Edgar Allan Poe. The prosecution seeks to enter into evidence a short story that the defendant has been preparing for publication. In this story, the narrator murders a man who has, as the narrator describes it, a “vulture-eye,” and cuts the body to pieces in his bathtub and buries the remains below his floorboards. The victim in the case at hand had a lazy eye and the home under which he was buried did not belong to Mr. Poe. Despite the differences between the novel and the real-life case, the prosecution seeks to have Mr. Poe’s short story presented to show that Mr. Poe had the intent to commit the crime, knowledge of methods of homicide and disposal of evidence, and a plan to commit homicide and dispose of the evidence. Should the admission of Mr. Poe’s in- progress short story be admitted?2 Evidence is anything offered to the court to be shown to a jury to persuade it of the “existence or nonexistence of a fact.”3 Rule 401 of the Federal Rules of Evidence requires that evidence be relevant.4 To be 1.

  • OUT LOUD Theatre Focuses on the Mind,Check
    The Hummel Report: How Clean Is Clean Enough? The science tells us that Narragansett Bay has not been this clean in 150 years. The days of floating debris and sometimes raw sewage after heavy rainstorms are squarely in the rearview mirror, largely because of a massive combined sewer overflow project that went online eight years ago. Often called The Biggest Project You’ll Never See, it is an underground holding tank of sorts that allows overflow to be contained, then fully treated, after a heavy rainfall. “We hear anecdotally from the shellfishermen, from the boaters, that they’ve never seen the Bay this clean in their lifetime,’’ said Ray Marshall, the executive director of the Narragansett Bay Commission, which handles the sewage for a third of the entire state. That includes the communities in metropolitan Providence and the Blackstone Valley — serving a total of 360,000 people. But Marshall has also heard it from a scientist at URI, who is studying the water quality of Narragansett Bay. We first reported six years ago on Phase 1 of the CSO project, mandated by the federal Clean Water Act to achieve better water quality in the Providence River and Narragansett Bay. That first phase carried a $375 million price tag. Phase 2 was completed at an additional cost of $213 million — a hefty price tag born solely by the 80,000 customers of the Bay Commission. So while customers don’t see where their sewage goes after it leaves their homes or businesses, they do get a monthly reminder of what it costs to treat.

    Written and edited by Nick Rommel Alexander Rimsky-Korsakov was a governor of this city during a period when all of its walls were destroyed, except for the Gate of Dawn. This city’s central castle complex, which was partly destroyed by Teutonic Knights in 1390 during a civil war involving a man who married Angevin queen [*] Hedwig, was built after ​ its founder dreamt of an iron wolf prowling its location. That founder was Gediminas. This city’s main cathedral was built on the site of a pagan temple in 1387, the year this city’s (*) Christianization was ordered by ​ Grand Duke Wladyslaw II Jagiello.
