There’s one thing to have your lyrics tried in the court of public opinion, but having them dissected in the court of law is a whole different level. Rapper Tiny Doo went through that experience in 2014 and had his life hanging in the balance as a result of it. On Monday (March 16), a judge dropped all gang conspiracy charges against the rapper in the controversial legal case.
Tiny Doo, the rapper who prosecutors claim profited from gang culture and violence in San Diego, Calif., has been released from jail. But his legal case is far from over.
Rappers are often challenged on the authenticity of their lyrics but the case of California rapper Tiny Doo is stranger than fiction. The rhymer is learning the dark side of life imitating art as his violent lyrics could land him in jail, even without committing a crime.
