Hip-hop…it's a cultural force that has reshaped everything from music to fashion…and has crossed over every racial and ethnic line. But in its brief history, it has also intersected with a darker world of crime and violence. In a special produced by hip-hop impresario and social activist Russell Simmons, Court TV® enlists some of the major players in the world of hip-hop to separate the myth and reality in the place where hip-hop and crime collide to examine the truth behind, crime, violence, and rap.

How does law enforcement deal with the young successful hip hop artists who market themselves as criminals? Do blurred lines lead to blurred justice? Hosted by Russell Simmons. Court TV Special Presentation Hip Hop Justice will air October 6th at 10:00pm.
