 NEW YORK (AP) - As hip-hop grows older, its mythology expands.
Like the general populace's fascination with Prohibition-era mobsters, urban underworld legends like L.A.'s Freeway Ricky Ross, New York's Pappy Mason and D.C.'s Wayne Perry get top billing.
Recognizing this nostalgia of sorts, the new documentary DVD series "The Infamous Times" has just hit stores with a profile on "the original 50 Cent," a stick-up kid from Brooklyn who made his reputation by robbing and shooting his way into New York City's street lexicon during the 1980s.
