Jim Crow was a rap group made up of Polow da Don, Cutty Cartel, Damon Holmes and Mr. Mo. Their debut album peaked at No. 99 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Its first single, "That Drama", featuring Too Short, peaked at No. 25 on the Hot Rap Songs chart. Slick Rick and Sean Paul were among the guests who appeared on the group's second album, Right Quick.

Reactions

Joseph Litman, writing in The Michigan Daily, had a very negative reaction to the group. He wrote: "Three black men calling themselves "Jim Crow" is idiotic because it trivializes the historical implications of the name, especially when they know what it means." He also decried the "misogyny" and the "blind consumerism, sexism, and compromised values" particularly in the lyrics of "Hot Wheels".
