Plot Summary

Learn the truth behind the dirty little secret that has plagued the hip-hop community for years in a startling documentary focusing on retired New York City Police detective Derrick Parker and the officially sanctioned police unit assigned the task of keeping tabs on the biggest chart-toppers in music. Compelled to create a NYPD rap unit following the widely publicized 1997 murder of rapper Notorious B.I.G., Detective Parker and his team went on to profile a wide variety of hip-hoppers including Snoop Dogg, The Game, 50 Cent, Ja Rule, Jay-Z, and Lil' Kim in the years that followed. Their unit officially sanctioned just three short years later, Detective Parker and company would continually question and harass the recording artists without probable cause, simultaneously keeping them under constant surveillance and creating a "Rap Binder" frequently used in law enforcement training. In this documentary, Detective Parker not only reveals the infamous "Rap Binder," to the general public for the very first time, but also discusses the creation of the unit and addresses the controversy it has spawned.

Hip hop movie and Great movie invested good

Great inside look into what is going on!

Anybody who gave this a 1 star rating can't really care about what's going on. Take note people, our rights are being taken away from us and this movie proves it. I applause the filmmakers for going out there and getting all the dirt on what's going on. How can you ignore the surveillance, the profiling, the book with all the artists who are not criminals but are treated as such. This film will give you the real story, if they can do this to Hip Hop artists who's next?

Garbage

I wish I never wasted my money on this
