Summary

In 1982, Raiders owner Al Davis moved his team from Oakland to Los Angeles where the squad captivated a large numbers of black and Hispanic fans in L.A. at a time when gang warfare, immigration, and the real estate boom were rapidly changing the city. The L.A. Raiders morphed into a worldwide brand as the team's colors, swagger, and anti-establishment ethos became linked with gangsta rap and the hip-hop scene. Rapper Ice Cube explores how pro football's outlaw team became the toast of La La Land.
