So Solid Crew's Kaish (Shane Neil) walked free from court without charge yesterday after a hearing over those previously reported gun and drug offences. His lawyers took the opportunity to condemn the words of two MP's, who's comments, he said could have affected the trial: Home Secretary David Blunkett attacked much of hiphop's lyrics for containing "appalling" violence, and in January Culture Minister Kim Howells condemned the "hateful lyrics of those boasting, macho idiot rappers." Kaish's lawyer also said that he hadn't ruled out suing the government, after Kaish spent four months on remand needlessly.
