Various Artists - Rap Sheet - Hip Hop and the Cops (DVD)

Documentary that asks whether today's rap stars are the 'gangsters' they claim to be, or are simply playing up to their own publicity machine. Conversely, have the police been guilty of targeting the rap stars? Do they act on hard evidence, or are they simply playing along with the gun-toting, drug-dealing perception of today's rap artists? The film includes live performances and contributions from, among others, Russell Simmons, Ja Rule, Busta Rhymes, Kanye West, Damon Dash, Suge Knight, The Game and Snoop Dogg.
