Pretty Good
Admirable film.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
This is one of those DVD's that could honestly change your view on music, it did with me. The only reason I give this a 9, is because I believe the Hip Hop generation died with this concert, Unfortunately, even rappers have to grow up and unfortunately, recently, that time came. Then we see Eminem bringing out recovery, which was an utter embarrassment to hip hop. It was the last time anything like that will ever happen :( Never the less, do not let what I say put you off watching it, It is in my view the best live show, I've ever seen, and you honestly haven't lived if you haven't seen this show. Its great too see Eminem perform like he used too as well, honestly, if you watch this then you look at his new album, its like its a different artist all together.
Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Eminem, Snoop Dogg! Not to mention other artists such as Xzibit and N.W.A.'s own MC Ren. This DVD is a must own. It features songs like "The Next Episode," "Let Me Ride," and my favorite song (Notorious B.I.G. and Eminem did this song...), "Dead Wrong." This DVD shows you how the tour was set up, how backstage was like, and how many fans there were that showed up. Not to mention how much humor these rappers have. You could feel how the concert was by the camera angles and the special effects. You could see how the fans reacted to the sounds of Dre and Eminem. You could see how amazing this concert is. I recommend this for all West Coast Rap fans.
I dig that crew, Snoop, Dre, Xzibit, Eminem, Nate, Warren G and the others. I respect them and their music. They should have credit for two things, the first is for the creativity, and the second is for making a hell of a show (specially Snoop and Dre). They didn't save on anything. The show was everything you need, cursing, weed, alcohol, love, and the atmosphere itself!The Dre & Snoop intro was great. The music was great. The show was great. The whole concept was great. You get the point! Need I say more?:)
The Up In Smoke Tour DVD is the best one of all tour Dvd's I've ever seen. Even people who might not like Hiphop can see a great Concert with an amazing show. This group of Rappers is the best of the best living. The Rappers that aren't living yet are awaken in a Tribute by DRE and Snoop Dogg. I.e. 2Pac and BIG For all the real Rap fans out there........BUY IT!!!!!
