Two rappers have been jailed for using an internet song to try to scare off witnesses to the murder of a 24-year-old man in Ealing, west London.I demand that from now on all rap lyrics be translated by members of the British judiciary.
[The lyrics included:] “I can't wait for the snitch to drop, I still show up at his wake just to see him off”.
Old Bailey Judge Richard Hone said the lyrics meant: “Those who went chitter-chattering to police were themselves in danger of being shot.” [BBC]
