![]() ![]() Yak GottiĪccording to prosecutors, Young Thug and Antonio Sumlin threw up YSL “gang signs” to these lyrics on social media in 2017. This 2016 Young Thug track featuring Yak Gotti contains the first lyrics to be cited in the indictment. “Fuck the judge, YSL, this that mob life” ![]() “This that slim shit, this that mob shit” “Got banana clips for all these niggas actin’ monkey” “Fuck, fuck the police (fuck ’em), in a high speed” “I’m in the VIP and I got that pistol on my hip / You prayin’ that you live I’m prayin’ that I hit, hey, this that slime shit” “I’m not new to this, hey, I’m so true to this, hey / I done put whole slime on hunnid licks” “Hey, this that slime shit, hey, YSL shit, hey, killin’ 12 shit, hey, fuck jail shit, hey” ![]() “That’s exactly what prosecutors are trying to convince juries about across the country.” Listen to the tracks and read the lyrics included in the lengthy YSL indictment below. Brad Hoylman, who sponsored the bill, told Fox 5 NY. “No one ever thought that Johnny Cash was going to shoot a man in Reno just to watch him die or Bob Marley shot a sheriff but spared a deputy,” state Sen. The proposed legislation argues that the practice turns criminal courts “into instruments for suppressing provocative speech” and ignores “the foundational principle that a criminal case should be tried on the facts and not on a person’s ‘propensity’ to commit the crime.” The bill passed in committee in late January and is currently on the floor calendar for a Senate and Assembly vote. After Maryland’s highest court ruled in December 2020 that rap lyrics could be admitted as evidence in a murder trial, veteran attorney Dina LaPolt told Variety that the decision was “blatantly racist” and set “a dangerous precedent.”Įarlier this year, Jay-Z and other prominent artists publicly lent their support to Senate Bill S7527, a New York bill known as “Rap Music on Trial,” which would acknowledge that rap is a form of artistic expression and limit the use of lyrics in criminal cases. But regardless of whether the charges are true, critics say that the hyperbole in rap can unfairly sway a jury, noting that the practice has a disproportionate impact on Black and brown defendants. ![]() The practice of using rap lyrics as evidence doesn’t always lead to convictions Boosie and Drakeo the Ruler were both acquitted. That same year, 6ix9ine’s lyrics were introduced in court during his trial for gang-related charges. “I was never part of no gang.” More recently, prosecutors used the late Drakeo the Ruler’s lyrics to accuse him of murder in 2019. “I’m guilty for where I live,” he told Vulture at the time. When Bobby Shmurda was accused of leading a gang connected to several crimes in 2014, his hit “ Hot Nigga” was publicly scrutinized, though the lyrics weren’t formally cited as evidence in the case. In 2012, a Louisiana judge ruled that some lyrics from “187” could be admitted as evidence in Boosie’s murder trial. This isn’t the first time that rap music has been brought up during trials. And controversially, rap lyrics from the Grammy-nominated musicians, including a posthumous Juice WRLD single, are also included as evidence. Georgia prosecutors also charged all 28 defendants with conspiring to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act by engaging in a pattern of illegal activity to obtain money and property. Individual charges included murder, attempted robbery, and aggravated assault with a weapon. The 88-page grand jury indictment refers to YSL as a “criminal street gang” and lists 182 different acts - including instances of members wearing clothing or accessories with the word “Slime” - that were allegedly “in furtherance” of this collective conspiracy. Young Thug, Gunna, and more than two dozen people associated with the label and artists’ collective Young Slime Life were indicted on gang-related charges on May 9. ![]()

![]() ![]() Jedi also can use a Mind Trick on non-droid enemies. This is a good way to avoid getting overwhelmed by droids in areas where they constantly spawn. Force pushing a battle droid will cause it to fly into other droids, defeating them quickly. This includes battle droids, astromech droids, protocol droids, and even IG-88 and 4-LOM! Simply Force the droid and it will be decommissioned for a short time. This ability can be used by most anyone on all droids. The most generic Force ability is the Force Push. Aside from being able to manipulate objects in the environment, you can also use the Force on various enemies to assist in your combat. ![]() In addition to lightsabers, Jedi and Sith have a variety of different Force powers in the game. Simply holding the attack button will deflect the bolts, but not back at the attacker. This is a good way to take out enemies like Clones and Geonosians, who like to back away from you as you approach them. This will send the bolt back at the attacker. To do this, press the attack button right as the bolt is about to hit you. However, there will be instances where you will have to deflect bolts back at the person who shot them. Bolts will be automatically deflected as you swing your lightsaber. You can also deflect blaster bolts that are shot at you. You can deflect lightsaber attacks simply by holding down the attack button. Against regular enemies, the second strike will do two hits of damage, and the third strike will do four hits of damage! Unfortunately, these attacks will still only do one hit of damage to bosses. This is the "proper" way to duel in this game. This powerful third strike is unblockable, allowing you to damage your opponent. Press the attack button again after completing the second strike and your lightsaber will sparkle again. Press the attack button after completing your first strike and you'll notice your lightsaber will sparkle and make a sound. You can do this by timing your button presses well. ![]() You can also perform special combos with your lightsaber. Make sure not to do this near a ledge (like in Cloud City), as it is possible to leap straight over your opponent and off the ledge! You can also do this after deflecting a strike. After performing an attack, press the jump button and you will leap over and behind your opponent. This can be done while battling another saber wielder. There is also a fancy move you can perform called a Force Flip. You can also use this to make short work of boss fights, but it does take longer to execute than a downstab. This move is also unblockable and does one point of damage. To perform a Jedi Slam, simply double jump, then press the attack button. The next special move you can perform is called a Jedi Slam. This is a good way to quickly complete boss fights if you don't want to bother with properly dueling them. This will still do one point of damage, but it is unblockable. You will leap forward and perform an overhead slash. To perform a downstab, simply jump in the air and then press the attack button. The first special move you can perform is what I call a downstab. Some enemies (like Battle Droid Commanders, Droidekas, or Imperial Officers) will take multiple lightsaber hits to defeat. Each lightsaber hit deals one point of damage. Each character has two different combos and will rotate between them. However, there are some "fancy" moves that can help you out at various stages of the game.Īs mentioned earlier, just spamming the attack button will perform a three hit combo. Spamming the attack button is honestly a pretty effective way to get through the game, as the combat isn't too challenging. You'll be spending most of your time in the Prequel Trilogy controlling various Jedi, so it is important to know the basics of lightsaber combat.

She later talks to a drunken Harley, who admits to her that she and Joker broke up. Dinah works at the club as a singer, noted for her beautiful voice. Keo refused to work with Roman, which is what later leads to the demise of him and his family. The diamond was also the reason Helena's whole family was slaughtered. Keo (Francois Chau) about the Bertinelli Diamond, which contains codes to their massive fortune and is now in Roman's possession. A week earlier at the club, Roman was telling Mr. Soon, Harley comes in and tries to go after Cass, but she realizes she is getting ahead of herself in the story. Montoya then gets a call from Dinah Lance/Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell), saying that Cass has a diamond with her. Montoya is then brought to Cassandra Cain (Ella Jay Basco), a young girl brought in for pick pocketing. She is building a case against Roman but doesn't have much support from either of them. She meets with Captain Patrick Erickson (Steven Williams), who was her former partner that took credit for her hard work and got promoted, and District Attorney Ellen Yee (Ali Wong), who is also Montoya's ex. Montoya returns to the police station where she is mocked by other officers. Harley is then surrounded by Roman's thugs. Unfortunately, she runs into a large thug that she and Joker face-tattooed, but before he can get her, he is killed by Helena on her motorcycle. When it seems like she's cornered, she throws a bag of garbage at Montoya, which blindsides one crook and causes him to shoot an incoming truck-driving crook, allowing Harley to get away. Montoya tackles Harley and causes her to drop her sandwich into the street, which devastated Harley. ![]() Harley is getting her "perfect egg sandwich", but Montoya and a few other pissed off crooks find and go after her. They are shown torturing the Keo family and cutting their faces off. Among the criminals that want Harley dead are Roman and his best friend/right hand man Victor Zsasz (Chris Messina), a psychopath who carves a tally on his body for every one of his victims. A flashback shows Helena Bertinelli/Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) killing the men inside with a crossbow, which has earned her the alias, "The Crossbow Killer." Montoya then hears the chemical plant explosion and goes to find Harley's J necklace, which is a clear sign to both cops and criminals that she and Joker are no more, meaning Harley has just declared open season on herself. Moments before this, Detective Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez) is investigating what appears to be a mob hit at a restaurant. Harley decides to challenge this by driving a truck into Ace Chemicals where she and Joker used to stay, obliterating the plant into an explosion of fireworks. Harley is out with other women whom she overhears saying that she's nothing without Joker and that she'll go running back to him soon enough. He does nothing because Harley hasn't told anybody that she and Joker are broken up, since them being a couple gave her immunity from the wrath of Gotham's other thugs. She ends up smashing his leg, and is told by the club's owner, Roman Sionis/Black Mask (Ewan McGregor), that that was his driver. Harley goes to the Black Mask club where she gets plastered (drunk) and annoys a nearby thug who insults her. However, they have recently broken up since he helped her escape from prison (shown at the end of the previous film 'Suicide Squad'), and despite Harley saying she was fine, she does not take it well and ends up staying alone in a crummy apartment with a hyena she adopted and named Bruce (after Bruce Wayne). That's where she met The Joker and fell in love, leading her to go from Harleen Quinzel to Harley Quinn. Harley was always a troublemaker, but she got educated and earned a PhD, becoming a psychologist. As a child, her deadbeat alcoholic dad tried to get rid of her multiple times until he finally dumped her at a Catholic girls school.
