I'll grant you that three major hip-hop artists appear in the film but the movie itself neither features nor has anything to do with hip-hop music (especially considering its early 1970s setting pre-dates modern hip-hop). At the risk of sounding like a pc alarmist and without actually having seen the hip-hop related bonus features in question, it seems to me that these features' inclusion on the "American Gangster" DVD merely serves to reinforce the stereotypical association of modern hip-hop music with violent drug dealers.
