Straight Outta L.A., a 2010 documentary film in ESPN's 30 for 30 series directed by Ice Cube, covers the NFL team Raiders' time in Los Angeles, from 1982 to 1994, and how this overlapped with the local hip hop's transition from party jams to gangsta raps, a move led by the group N.W.A, which seized Raiders symbolism.

[2][3] Produced by Hunting Lane Films, the documentary, beyond interviewing N.W.A founding member Ice Cube, interviews other music figures as well as local civic leaders, Raiders owner Al Davis, other Raiders administrators, and contemporary Raiders players, including, among others, lineman Howie Long and running back Marcus Allen.

[4] After a mistrial, the second jury sided with the plaintiffs, clearing the Raiders' move to Los Angeles.

[5][6][7] At this same time, the crack epidemic began to unfold in Los Angeles County's predominantly black communities such as South Central Los Angeles and Compton which, arguably disadvantaged by the economic policies of then-President Ronald Reagan, witnessed large increases in gang violence, illegal weapon use, and police brutality.

Ice Cube also performs the documentary theme, "Raider Nation", which has the first and last quartets of The Autumn Wind as an introduction.
