Ghostride the Whip (2008)
From acclaimed executive producer Peter Spirer comes A DJ Vlad film. The first film to definitively capture the energy and danger of "Hyphy," the Hip Hop youth movement exploding out of the San Francisco Bay Area. Narrated by Oakland native and television/radio personality Sway, this film explores the political, social and musical history behind the culture that popularized ghostriding the whip - walking, running or dancing next to a moving car with no driver. GHOSTRIDE THE WHIP also follows the fascinating life and career of a young Vallejo rapper named Mac Dre, who has dominated the Bay Area underground music scene for years. Prolific, iconic, and revolutionary, Mac Dre's music and legacy is inextricably tied into the Hyphy movement. Featuring music and interviews by top Bay Area Hip Hop artists Mac Dre, Too $hort, E-40, MC Hammer, Keak the Sneak, Mistah F.A.B. and more.

True. I stand corrected. I also did not know they robbed as many banks as they did. It was a good episode, by the way! And I'm not saying this because I'm a Mac Dre fan or I'm from the Bay. It was very well done. I wonder what happened to the informant? Witness protection program, I'm guessing.
And crazy about how cops/feds called KMEL and dedicated a song to Mac Dre as payback after he had taunted them on his songs.

Bruh they did Raymond Washington and Rayful Edmonds already...Micky Mo from East Oakland was kind of featured when they did Felix Mitchell. And if you are referring to T Rodgers from Hunters Point, the one who was murdered at his daughter's basketball game, I don't really see how his story exemplifies "American Gangster."
