Dolemite

Sweet Sweetback\u2019s Baadasssss Song
\n<\/strong>\u201cSweet Sweetback\u201d is the pre-eminent blaxploitation film that paved the way for an entire sub-genre of films about powerful African American men and women fighting corruption, crime, and gangsters at their very door steps.

Inevitably the label succumbed to owner Suge Knight\u2019s often unusual and criminal practices. \u201cWelcome to Death Row\u201d is an award winning and honest look at the beginnings and end of a very influential hip hop dynasty.<\/p>\n
