Description
When Raider's owner Al Davis beat the NFL in court and moved his team from Oakland to Los Angeles, he found a new legion of fans in the city's Black and Hispanic populations at a time when gang warfare, immigration and the real estate boom were rapidly changing the city. During those 13 short seasons, the team's colors, aura and superstar players became a cultural phenomenon. As a football fan & member of Legendary Rap Group N.W.A., Ice Cube found himself at the crossroads between the birthplace of Hip-Hop in Los Angeles and the bone-crunching intensity of the L.A. Raiders. N.W.A. was at the heart of South Central Los Angeles' emerging Gangsta Rap scene and the group indentified with the raiders' swagger and anti-establishment attitude. When N.W.A. began wearing Raiders jackets and hats, the silver and black exploded into a worldwide brand. As Snoop Dogg says in the film, "the Hip-Hop nation fueled the Raider Nation." Using interviews with Hall-of-Famers Marcus Allen, Howie Long and Raiders owner Al Davis, along with Rap Legends Ice-T, Chuck D and Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, still a die hard Raiders fan, looks back at the unlikely marriage between the NFL's rebel franchise and America's glamour capital.
