Big Daddy Kane, Ice Cube and Bootsy Collins to star in Mass Appeal documentary about Rick James.

November 25, 2020 The film features rare footage of James live shows, never-before-seen home video, original interviews with legendary artists such as Ice Cube, Parliament-Funkadelics Bootsy Collinsand Big Daddy Kane and numerous recorded interviews. James, who died in 2004 at the age of 56, was as alluring as he was controversial. The Super Freak singer was plagued by drug addiction for the majority of his adult life, which often led to stints in jail. In 1993, James was convicted for two separate instances of kidnapping and torturing two different women while under the influence of crack cocaine, resulting in a three-year sentence at Folsom State Prison. Judging by the trailer, the film aims to explore all sides of the larger-than-life personality. BITCHIN will premiere on Friday, September 3 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Until then, check out the trailer below.
