Summary of Rap Sheet: Hip Hop and the Cops
Hip hop and law enforcement have a strained relationship, but it's hard to imagine one without the other. But has it gone so far that there are special divisions of the FBI, the DEA, and the New York and Los Angeles police departments devoted to investigating artists like Jay-Z, 50 Cent, and Keith Murray? This documentary by Don Sikorski asks that question and interviews both sides to see where reality and paranoia meet. Major names in the industry such as Russell Simons, Kanye West, Snoop Dog, and a host of other important members of the hip-hop community are interviewed in this expose. Sikorski uncovered hours of surveillance footage and massive files on the personal lives and activities of the artists who may have been treated like key players in a Mafia sting operation rather than entertainers.
