The countdown show is pretty self-explanatory, and here s hoping this is number one when the five-night show kicks off on September 29. The documentary on NWA, written by Mark Ford, looks back at the effect NWA had on culture and hip-hop, and features interviews with Ice Cube, MC Ren, Dr. Dre and others.

The NWA show is a documentary that they’ve done already on MTV as well as BET, and I think even SpikeTV. Expect interviews from the members of the group, Eazy-E’s widow and narration from Chris Rock (which I thought was odd considering his pissing on them in CB4). Nothing brand-new, but definitely something you should catch if you don’t know about the rise and subsequent fall of self-proclaimed “world’s most dangerous group.”
