Amazon.co.uk Review
They may be every parent's nightmare, but the rap all-stars that comprise the 2000 Up in Smoke tour (smoke, as in blunts and chronic--or marijuana, for the uninitiated) are incredibly popular with a surprising cross-section of young music lovers today. This two-hour-plus DVD captures most of one concert by the four rappers who joined together for this tour: Ice Cube, Eminem, Dr Dre, and Snoop Dogg. If you aren't a fan of the music, don't expect this to change your mind, or even to help you understand these rappers' appeal. For the devoted, however, you get heaping doses of four of the hottest acts working, in a show that includes lavish production values, as well as plenty of backstage footage and photographs as extra features. Given the slice-and-dice editing (no shot, it seems, is allowed to last more than two seconds), it's hard to get a fix on them or a true picture of what the show looked like if you happened to be sitting in the audience. --Marshall Fine

Customer Reviews

If you like rap, you'll love it!
This show is simply awesome. The cast reads like a 'who's who' of gangsta rap today, and is not to be missed by any rap or hip hop fan. Ice cube kicks off with 4 songs of his own including 'You Can Do It', and is followed by Eminem who performs songs from his first two albums; Slim Shady LP, and Marhshall Mathers LP. Then it's on to what I would personally consider the main event, lead largely by Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg. This section sees appearances from Xzibit and Nate Dogg amongst others, as phenomenal classic hits such as 'Forgot About Dre, 2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted and Next Episode' are performed live. Throughout the DVD there are back stage interviews and footage of the main participants and some other familiar faces from the scene of rap. I cannot emphasize how incredible it is to witness so many of the biggest stars of the music industry under the same roof at the same time. It is a feat which will quite probably never be repeated and one which any true fan should not be without.

Just buy this DVD
This is a great purchase, from the very first song "hello" by ice cube, you will love every second of this fantastic DVD. Great behind the scenes stuff with Xzibit stealing the show with his chronic filled antics and great performences all around. You will be treated to the best rap show on earth for very few of your english pounds. (i hope they come over here in 2001)

Pure Genuis
A great video which captures the atmosphere of one of the most anticipated tours of the decade. Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre and Eminem are all here demonstrating why they are simply the best rappers ever.
