This is not state's rights. Murder is a state responsibility. Of course they can make it harder or easier to use rap lyrics as evidence, provided that it doesn't violate the Fed constitution.
More fundamentally, those in executive power will try to extend executive power. And those in control of the federal government will try to extend federal power at the expense of the states, and vice versa.
To be for "state's rights" there would at least be a controversy, otherwise you are supporting a proposition that no one has ever opposed. In this case, it is something no one has ever opposed.

Yes, but I am still not sure how this relates to "state's rights".
This is not even a controversial area. Even the least state's righty person will say that murder is a state responsibility.
