10 min

Tim discusses the ruling allowing Young Thug's lyrics to be used as trial evidence in his racketeering case, riffs on Coldplay and Jay-Z opposing the precedent, and jokingly advises rappers to fabricate names and locations in their lyrics to avoid incriminating themselves, plus a bit about Young Thug and Gunna releasing a pro-Israel song.

  • Tim's advice to drill rappers: use fake names and locations instead of confessing to actual crimes in lyrics.

  • A judge ruled lyrics admissible as evidence in Young Thug's trial, decried by free speech groups including Jay-Z and Coldplay.
  • Tim proposes letting rappers start with a fresh slate if killings stop now, calling it part of the game.
  • Tim suggests rappers rap about cops being good instead to throw everyone for a loop while still committing crimes.
  • Young Thug's new song about Israel's right to defend itself seems suspicious and opportunistic timing.
  • Final advice to drill rappers: change names and methods in lyrics so cops and prosecutors get confused between versions.
