Recent reports claimed Doo could become the first musician to land in jail for an album cover decision on gang conspiracy charges.

Prosecutors will reportedly look to prove that the album art “willfully promotes, furthers, or assists in any felonious criminal conduct by members of that gang.” “That gang” refers to the San Diego Lincoln Park gang, of which Duncan is a member, according to San Diego police. According to the Times, at least 15 Lincoln Park gang members have been charged in a recent string of shootings in the city. (Breit Bart)

Doo’s lawyer Brian Watkins recently questioned the validity of the charges considering his client’s non-existent criminal record.

“It’s shocking. He has no criminal record. Nothing in his lyrics say ‘go out and commit a crime.’ Nothing in his lyrics reference these shootings, yet they are holding him liable for conspiracy. There are huge constitutional issues.” (Counter Current News)

  1. That is a crazy law it is like saying Scorscessie should be prosecuted for making mafia movies or Francis Ford Coppola rip should be prosecuted hey how bout we prosecute the director of Black Hawk Down or the director of Platoon.

    • That’s bullshit. Scorsese ain’t maffiosi. Don’t even know how to respond on that black hawk donw mention. Hollywood just actors. When the director says cut everybody themselves again. This dude from a gang so he really about that life which makes it different. I don’t think it’s fair to put him in jail over an album cover. Banning or forbid it would be more proper. Once you about that life it’s a whole different story.

      • How do you know Martin Scorsese ain’t bout that life? Remember mafia members don’t go around and say “columbo family muthafucka” Lol. Scorsese always have some real homies on the set tho, same with the late great frank Sinatra. Hell the way the law officers are doing foul shit now, maybe they should be arrested just for being on the force? Or maybe these grand jury folk cause clearly they have a personal relationship with the law and they are really bout that life because clearly they don’t snitch and will truly lie to the judge for they boys yell

        • I have some real homies too. We all know “people”. But Scorsce just never been about that life however I’m sure he some real maffiosi. This dude really on some gangsta shit tho.

        • I did that’s why I responded.You can’t compare rap to Hollywood although the only thing they have in comment is that rappers are better actors.

          • Listen guy that is un constitutional what they are saying. You cant convict somebody that has done nothing because he talking in a rap about somebody that got smoked down the street.

          • And I agree with you. But still I find you can’t compare hollywood to gangsta rappers and they could ban or prevent his artwork. No jailtime for homie tho.

  2. Yall gotta do a better job of finishing off these rappers… I’m tired of gettin handed they mixtape when I’m leaving the club

  3. if u didn’t know,,,these type of things fall under “blackman laws” meaning you wouldn’t see anybody else treated like this over an album cover,,you know dat ish!..
