Straight Outta L.A.

Straight Outta L.A. is a documentary film directed by Ice Cube in ESPN's 30 for 30 series, covers the NFL team Raiders' time in Los Angeles from 1982 to 1994. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2010 and was broadcast on ESPN on May 11, 2010. It follows the Oakland Raiders' transition from party jams to gangsta raps, which was spearheaded by the group N.W.A, which appropriated Raiders symbolism.

In 1982, the NFL blocked the Oakland Raiders' planned relocation from Oakland to Los Angeles. Since then, the city has seen an increase in gang violence, illegal weapon use, and police brutality. The Department of Justice announced in that it would not pursue a civil rights lawsuit filed by the former Los Angeles Coliseum owners.

Ni**az with Attitude (N.W.A) preferred a unified look that reflected their hometown when they first appeared on the national stage in 1988. Ice Cube, a South Central native and Raiders fan, believes that understanding the Raiders' relationship with Los Angeles requires a thorough understanding of their history. He claims that by dressing up as the city's black and white ball caps and black uniforms, the team has been able to forge its own identity.
