Letter to the President

While the glamorous 1980’s continued for much of America, Rappers made it a point to tell the world there was another section of the country that wasn’t invited to the party.

As the Urban landscape became the point of no return – Hip Hop emerged as a voice for the people. This film takes an unprecedented look at a variety of issues directly affecting the Urban community – including the crack conspiracy, censorship, racial profiling, police brutality, poverty, prison for profit, and the NYPD Hip Hop task Force.

If you think politics has nothing to do with Hip Hop, think again, Letter to the President explores this rebel music with a cause. Featuring interviews from an eclectic list of players: Wyclef Jean, Chingy, Baby, Russell Simmons, Black Eyed Peas, Common, Davey D, Chuck D, Guy Torry, Mike Epps, Pharohe Monch, Ghostface Killah, KRS-One, 50 Cent, Michael Eric Dyson, Amiri Baraka, Doug E. Fresh, Slick Rick, MC Lyte, Immortal Technique, Tavis Smiley, Big Tigger, Quincy Jones, Nelson George, Dick Gregory, Luke "Luther" Campbell, Larry Flynt, Gary Webb, Dialated Peoples, Dead Prez, Saigon, Juvenile, Trick Daddy, David Banner and more.
