The documentary includes interviews with Blink-182, Cypress Hill, Eminem, Kobe Bryant, Snoop Dogg, and more as they tell of their experiences with the pair that used Chicano culture, tattoos, music videos, photography, and cholo iconography to blend the genres by influencing the world with their works of art.
