What would Tupac say?...or sing?
Yesterday, police in Istanbul's anti-organized crime unit arrested rappers
who allegedly wrote and sang songs as requested by organized crime
gangs (!). Among those arrested were Doğan Tarda, known by his
rapper name "Heijan", Şamet Işık, known as "BIG" and Şahan Terzioğlu,
known as "CAC". Muhammet Nedim Doğan, known as "Muti", was
not at his address when the police raid occurred and remains at large.
The rappers were charged with "inciting hatred and enmity among the
populace" and "praising crime and criminals". The charges reflected
the claim that the rappers put songs on social media and in the music
sector on behalf of criminal organizations and that these songs, shared
widely among the gang members, became symbols of the particular
organized crime gangs.
Another rapper known as "Aynen" was taken into custody for using a
fake gun in a song clip. In the raids, police seized fake Kalashnikov
and Uzi guns, as well as a revolver, that were used in clips. It is
alleged that the rappers made a song for Barış Boyun's "Death Gang"
organized crime gang. Boyun was captured by Interpol in Italy.
