德克萨斯州的检察官越来越多地在刑事审判中使用说唱歌词作为证据, 包括死刑案件, Prosecutors in Texas have increasingly used rap lyrics as evidence in criminal trials, including in a death penalty case, sparking concerns about racial bias and the misinterpretation of artistic expression. 批评者认为,这种做法针对年轻的黑人男性,把虚构歌词当作悔. 研究表明人们将说唱视为比其他类型的类似歌词更具自传性. Critics argue this practice targets young Black men, treating fictional lyrics as confessions, while studies show people view rap as more autobiographical than similar lyrics from other genres.
