Funny because the article mentions the coercion of NWA in the US as precedent. >There's a long history of police butting heads with hip hop artists, according to Dr Rebecca Sheehan, who researches the link between social identity and music at Macquarie University. >"The FBI issued a cease and desist order to NWA," she said.
