Roc-A-Fella Records and Def Jam were hit with a lawsuit this week by a man who claims he wasn't paid for acting in Jay-Z's movie "Streets Is Watching."

Malcolm Crenshaw filed a $1 million dollar lawsuit in Manhattan Federal Court claiming he was never paid for appearing in four scenes of the straight-to-video semi-autobiographical short film that chronicles Jay-Z's life.

Jay-Z co-wrote the movie with Damon Dash and Abdul Malik Abbott, who also wrote "State Property."
