Killer Mike, Chance the Rapper, Meek Mill to Supreme Court: Pittsburgh rapper's lyrics are not 'a true threat of violence'

Several famous rappers are urging the US Supreme Court to take up a case involving a Pittsburgh rapper and whether his song lyrics are protected under the First Amendment.

In a legal brief filed Wednesday, rappers Killer Mike, Chance the Rapper, Meek Mill, Yo Gotti, Fat Joe, and 21 Savage were among a group of artists and scholars who say Jamal Knox's rap song "F*** the Police" is a "political statement ... that no reasonable person familiar with rap music would have interpreted as a true threat of violence."
