Introduced to the world through Dr. Dre's The Chronic, Snoop Dogg quickly became the most famous star in rap, partially because of his drawled, laconic rhyming and partially because the violence that his lyrics implied seemed real, especially after he was arrested on charges of being a murder accomplice.
Snoop Dogg rapped on The Chronic as much as Dr. Dre's, and his drawled vocals were as important to the record's success as its P-Funk bass grooves.
According to the charges, the rapper's bodyguard, McKinley Lee shot Phillip Woldermarian as Snoop drove the vehicle; the rapper claimed it was self-defense, alleging that the victim was stalking Snoop.

Likewise, the Chicago Sun-Times, which felt that 'one of the pleasures of Hollywood Homicide is that it's more interested in its two goofy cops than in the murder plot; their dialogue redeems otherwise standard scenes'.
Hollywood Homicide marks Ford's fifth onscreen outing as a cop, although the first in which he becomes saddled with a partner.

 HipHop Rapture: Geto Boys
Formed as the Ghetto Boys in Houston by rap entrepreneur James "Lil' J" Smith (and signed to his Rap-A-Lot label), the group originally consisted of Prince Johnny C., the Slim Jukebox, and DJ Reddy Red.
The Geto Boys' association with controversy was far from over, though; rap groups were a hot topic for moral-minded politicians during the early '90s, and several leaders used the Geto Boys as an example to decry the state of modern music.
Blocked from distributing their 1990 major-label debut by Geffen-- who insisted that a track dealing with necrophilia as well as murder was a step too far -- the group was saved by producer Rick Rubin, who arranged another distributor for the album, released on his own Def American label.

With Bully, the fact-based story of a group of teens' murder conspiracy, Clark almost seems to have taken his young Manhattanites and plopped them into the suburban wasteland of south Florida.
Ali (Bijou Phillips), Lisa (Rachel Miner) and Marty (Brad Renfroe) have murder on their minds in Larry Clark's Bully.
The kids in Bully wander through their lives aimlessly, pairing up early and often when they're not surfing, listening to rap metal, cruising the strip mall-dotted main drag, getting high, ignoring impotent parents or playing video games.

Irv Gotti has apparently set his goals high, explaining that the next Murder Inc. group effort will be a re-imagining of the Jacksons' "Victory" album.

In Hollywood Homicide, veteran cop Joe Gavilian (Harrison Ford) and his partner K.C. Calden (Josh Hartnett) are called in after a brutal murder of a rap group in a Los Angeles club.
The trail soon leads to a rap mogul, and it's fairly certain from the start things are going to end in a climactic finish.
The combination of tinsel-town veteran Harrison Ford and new golden-boy Josh Harnett promised to tap into that odd-couple buddy cop movies of yesteryear, but this movie is certainly no 48 Hours (1982), Lethal Weapon (1987) or dare I say Bad Boys I (1995) and II (2003).
