The real story here is what a big win this is for the rehabilitatory justice movement. Personally I think that prison time serves a number of purposes. It's a punishment in the classical sense (make people experience something they don't like, and they will weigh that experience when making decisions that could lead to it again), it stops criminals from committing their crime of choice in the near term (giving the public a break), and it serves as an opportunity to help those who have fallen into a life of crime gain skills and knowledge that can help them get a legal job. That last point feels like it's being misapplied here. Being a rapper, you say a lot of things that you don't mean. It's a mask, a persona. Glorifying gun crime is literally what the public pays you for. They want to hear it. So it seems like someone is a bit confused if they think that banning that content from his songs will help him rehabilitate.
