Synopsis by Matthew Tobey
The world of hip-hop was long dominated by East Coast rappers and West Coast rappers. Then came the Dirty South, a southern-fried rap genre that proved once and for all that there was plenty of hip-hop music being made below the Mason-Dixon Line. This documentary from director James "FLX" Smith takes an in-depth look at the Southern rap scene, using interviews with several MCs to set the record straight about the Dirty South. Dirty States of America: The Untold Story of Southern Hip-Hop features appearances by the likes of Lil' Jon, Lil' Flip, David Banner, and Eightball & MJG.
