Chuck D says Eminem, LL COOL J, Ice-T, and many more will appear in his upcoming "Fight The Power" documentary.

Chuck D has enlisted a star-studded group for his upcoming docuseries, Fight The Power: How Hip Hop Changed The World. Eminem, Ice-T, Fat Joe, and many more hip-hop legends will all be interviewed for the film.

“Out of the 50 years of Hip Hop, this series promises to elevate the narrative of the genre directly from the artists themselves—at its highest intellectual courageous level ever—to stand above anything ever before heard or seen from Hip Hop and Rap culture,” Chuck D told AllHipHop. “Fight The Power ranks alongside worthy of any artform broadcasted on PBS and the BBC.”
