Mapping Rap On Trial Our research has identified nearly 700 cases, from the late 1980s to present, where rap lyrics have been used as evidence, usually in a criminal context.

As you zoom in, the map shows the following case information: -- State -- Jurisdiction -- Individual case name (where available)* Note: We have also made a CSV file of this data available here.
