Before 1992's "Juice," there weren't many movies that effectively captured the harsh realities of the inner-city ghettos. With the exception of 1991's "Boyz N the Hood," these street tales were often left untold. Today's "RapFix Live" commemorates the 20th anniversary of that influential film with co-star Khalil Kain and Naughty by Nature, the hip-hop trio who contributed to the soundtrack.
