Black and Blue: LEGENDS OF THE HIP HOP COP

Retired first-grade NYPD detective Derrick Parker established a so-called "Rap Intel" unit following the murder of Notorious B.I.G. in 1997. By 2004, word of Parker's secret unit was leaked to the press, unleashing a firestorm of controversy including arguments that the NYPD's rap unit blurred the line between monitoring and profiling.

The ACLU launched a crusade against "hip-hop surveillance," deemed the "the new Cointelpro." Via exclusive, in-depth interviews with Parker--as well as rappers, security guards, civil rights activists and other members of the hip-hop community—viewers are taken inside the so-called "hip-hop patrol" in New York City and Miami. Narrated by Saul Williams.
