About 'As We Speak: Rap Music on Trial'
“As We Speak: Rap Music on Trial” makes its streaming debut following its world premiere screening at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. Directed by J.M. Harper (“jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy,” “Don't Go Tellin' Your Momma”), the feature-length documentary follows Bronx rap artist Kemba “as he explores the growing weaponization of rap lyrics in the United States criminal justice system and abroad.”
According to the official description, more than 700 criminal court cases since the 1990s have used rap lyrics as evidence against defendants, including the recent criminal trial of Young Thug. Kemba looks at how law enforcement has used artistic creation against its own artists for decades and through conversations with rappers, academics, politicians, legal experts, and industry executives, explores whether lyrics should be used for conviction as the issue makes it further and further into the mainstream.
