And this is the demo
for Junior M.A.F.I.A.
I think actually Biggie
gave me this.
♪ (HIP HOP INSTRUMENTAL PLAYS) ♪
 At the time,
Biggie lived around the corner,
he was trying to be a rapper,
I was trying to be
a rap A&R person,
 we were all trying to be
 something.
WOMAN: Drew was a young,
 powerful something
who cared so much
about the music.
DREW DIXON: And so,
 when Def Jam called me,
it was like, "Russell Simmons
wants to offer you this job
as the director of A&R
at Def Jam."
I could not have scripted
 that out.
WOMAN 2:
There's really beautiful things
about the music industry.
There was a lot of mobility
 for women,
but at the same time,
there's tremendous amount
of sexual harassment.
You didn't get a lot of sympathy
for that.
 That was considered
 the price of admission.
♪ (MUSIC CONCLUDES) ♪
DIXON:
I didn't tell that many people
 about what happened
 with Russell.
 He just grabbed me.
He just grabbed me.
 And on saying no,
 I was reduced to nothing
 in that moment.
Nothing about anything
that makes me who I am mattered.
♪ (DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS) ♪
MAN: I had asked her,
"Do you wanna go to the police?"
 She was like, "No one's
 gonna take me seriously.
Who's gonna believe me?"
WOMAN 3:
If white women are not believed,
what do you think is happening
to black women in America
when we come forward with
stories about sexual violence?
I don't have a stitch
of violence in me.
I would never hurt anybody.
WOMAN 4: You're worried
 as a black woman,
that you'll say something
that will have consequences
that you hadn't anticipated.
DIXON:
He's the king of hip hop.
The black community
will hate my guts.
 I don't wanna let
 the culture down.
I love the culture.
WOMAN 5:
It's a terrible burden to bear,
to know that you might
still be judged
as somehow being a traitor.
DIXON: The New York Times
 called me and said
 there were other women.
That they won't go on the record
unless I go on the record.
 But I'm terrified
 of the backlash.
♪ (MUSIC INTENSIFIES) ♪
We need to be able to make sure
that a broader group of women
are introduced into
the public consciousness.
 This is so emblematic of
what happens to women routinely.
It's a loss for all of us,
it really, really is.
I've been alone for 22 years.
I thought it was just me.
To go through the assault,
and then to come forward.
SHERRI HINES:
 Everybody was taught
 things happen,
you just didn't talk about it.
And so, I just always put on
this front.
Every woman's story deserves
to be heard.
DIXON:
I've been a victim for 22 years.
I'm tired of being a victim.
