VOICE-OVER "Cops is filmed on location with the men and women of law enforcement. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law."
The first regular show to feature a rap song as it's theme had a Billboard Top 40 success in 1989 as it rose all the way to #8. It was one of the first rap songs to chart that high. Because of the show's popularity (it was the first of the modern "Reality TV" shows) and longevity, the theme is probably the best-known rap song.
