Will this become a major case for free speech?

So I was browsing the internet like I normally do when I am bored, and I came across this article. Upon reading it, I am confused how this can be legal. Art has always been one of the major expressions of free speech, and, while I dislike his music, and think violence shouldn't be glorified, I will defend to the death his right to rap about whatever he wants. That being said, what do the rest of my fellow kiwis think? Will this get appealed, or should courts have this power?

The government can really screw you over with supervised release conditions. But his lyrics have no relation to the actual crime he was convicted of. It's not like stopping a gang member from hanging out with other gang members. How is not rapping about capping a nigga going to rehabilitate him for illegally owning a gun?

See that's what I am thinking. It's almost going back to the whole violent video game concerns post Columbine. It also seems to me to make the statement that rap music is negatively affecting minority communities in general, and that taking that away will suddenly make them better. Which is a whole new can of worms.
 
Do you have a bigger version of the OP picture? The one you used is a bit small for my tastes.
 
From my perception, eeeeh - he served 11 instead of 14, so presumably to get out early he voluntarily agreed to a set of release conditions. Essentially he's paying off those 3 years of not being in prison by agreeing to not do a nignog thing. Like if this guy as part of the release conditions he voluntarily agreed to, to get out early, will not be able to own a gun for a while, I assume you wouldn't make a thread about that being a major 2nd amendment breach.

But what do I know, I'm not a lawyer, or even a fake internet lawyer. Heck, I haven't even given my daughter cocaine :sigh:

There's a difference in my opinion of having a weapon removed after committing a violent offense, and being told you can't say anything violent in a song because you were taken in for posession and obstruction of justice. That being said, I would go as far as to say non violent/non sexual related crimes should allow you to go back to being able to own a firearm (at least on a first offense). That's just me though.
