As far back as I can remember Ice Cube has been a HUGE Raiders fan. Â With the passing of the Raiders owner Al Davis I wanted to take a look back on Ice Cube’s Straight Outta L.A documentary. Â The documentary was one of ESPN’s 30 for 30 specials and it demonstrates the marriage between the Raiders and the LA hip hop scene mainly N.W.A.
