Movie Director Ice Cube Talks ESPN Documentary: “Straight Outta LA”
Legendary rap artist, Ice Cube talks to HardknockTV about Straight Outta LA, the Raiders film he produced for ESPN’s excellent 30 for 30 documentary series. All of the docs have been great but I have a feeling this one, about the Raiders run in the early 80’s, which happened to coincide with the rise of that West Coast gangster shit and an overwhelming increase in street violence.
