...squabble over contracts and end up in the hospital! Straight-arrow Jackson Rhames (Jason George) and his streetwise brother Grady (Sticky Fingaz) have a dream job--running the independent record label Sweetback--but they also have a few problems. Their top act, an Eminem-like white rapper, is a thug, and his last record tanked. If they poach a rival label's star, it could start a literal blood feud.

But last week he appeared onstage at the American Music Awards with rapper Ja Rule singing a duet of Thug Lovin'. The crowd loved it, but the judge proved a tougher critic. When Brown turned himself in at the end of the week, the judge sent him to jail for eight days...
