Korean rapper Black Nut stands convicted for defaming rapper Kitti B in a particularly vulgar diss track. He received a sentence of 1 year in prison with 2 years suspended.

Black Nut now stands before the courts again, this time appealing his conviction with the defense "it's acceptable in hip hop."

1. Should offensive lyrics or speech be punishable by imprisonment?

2. Does this action compromise the freedom of Koreans?

3. What should and should not be allowed in Korean hip hop?

1. [+1,051, -23] What is he saying? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Does he think hip hop is above the law? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Sigh, that pathetic hip hop mentality ㅋㅋㅋㅋ What difference does it make whether you attack someone through lyrics in a hip hop song or in plain text??

2. [+843, -23] So you get to say whatever you want, no matter how inappropriate, as long as it's in the name of hip hop..?

3. [+711, -21] Yeah, but why is it that in hip hop songs, the target of attack is always someone weaker than you? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why don't rappers ever attack Park Geun Hye or corrupt politicians? Why is it never any of the more popular hip hop stars? Pfft, these guys are cowards with nothing but long tongues ㅋㅋㅋ utter trash.

5. [+33, -0] ㅋㅋㅋㅋ As expected from pathetic hip hoppers

6. [+27, -1] I knew he was just appealing for sympathy when he talked about his mother... If he really wants to be filial for her, he should quit hip hop. Pathetic ba$tard.

7. [+22, -1] Oh, I'm so sorry, I had no idea hip hop was so superior to the rest of us. Go serve in the army, you rat.

8. [+22, -3] Rappers are the absolute worst; why don't they ever just get themselves locked up and rap about jail swag? You want to sexually harass someone verbally so bad, go to jail and do it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This guy is seriously not normal.

9. [+18, -2] I really hate him

10. [+16, -0] I don't know how far the freedom of expression in hip hop goes but I don't think it extends to sexual harassment..

11. [+15, -2] I feel so bad for his mother

12. [+11, -0] Further proof that hip hoppers are fools
