One of the best hip hop concerts ever

Advantages: Great Coverage of the concert
Disadvantages: Lack of special features

...the concert live. First up on stage is Ice Cube, who comes out of something that resembles an ice cube. His set isn't very long but he performs some of his classics and was more than enough for me as I am not very familiar with his music. Second was Eminem, his set was longer and he sings quite a few of his singles as well as less known songs such as Criminal an others. He also puts on a Insane Clown Possee diss, which is hilarious. After this ...
...and Snoop. The have loads of video interludes which are stunning. They also have a tribute part of the show when they mention dead rappers, and sing 2 2pac songs. This part is very moving. Afterwards they carry on singing new and old hits. One nice aspect of the DVD is that you also get to see Xzibit and Devind the Dude on some of the songs along side with the main acts. However as far as i know a lot more famous rappers were at the tour and could ...

Review of Up In Smoke Tour (DTS) (Various Artists) (Wide Screen) (DVD)

Up In Smoke

Advantages: Great music and features
Disadvantages: 18 certificate

This is the first thing I watched when I got a DVD player - The Up In Smoke Tour, featuring Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Ice Cube. This DVD contains 2 1/2 hours of live tracks , skits and backstage footage from some of the most influential rappers of our era. Ice Cube kicks off the DVD, coming to the stage in a giant “ice cube” and performing “Hello” amongst others. After the set, we see some backstage footage featuring Cube and others before ...
...name just a couple. The real action starts with a 5 minute movie clip featuring Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg. This leads straight into their set which also features Eminem and Xhibit. If you are into hip-hop music this is one of the best DVDs you will ever buy and it is worth every penny. ...

Review of Breakdance - The Movie (DVD)

"She's so swishy in her satin and tat"

Advantages: Fascinating insight into Bowie's work
Disadvantages: Probably not for newcomers to Bowie

...has consistently impressed me is David Bowie. Called a 'chameleon' for many because of the various characters that he has portrayed, his range of music is impressive. My favourite Bowie era is the early seventies, and thankfully, this is exactly the period that this double DVD and book set cover. Called a 'critical review', a number of people connected to Bowie and the music world are interviewed during the course of the DVDs. Two of those interviewed ...
...any kind of interview with David Bowie himself, except for the odd flash of an early seventies interview that he gave. I was initially quite disappointed to not have his input; however, in hindsight, this is supposed to be a 'critical review', so it makes sense not to have an interview with Bowie himself. And some of the interviews are really quite critical - Pin-Ups, a cover version album that Bowie released, is more or less panned by all of those ...
