The third installment in QD3's "Beef" series chronicles some of hip-hop's most intriguing feuds. Unlike prior installments, this one centers mostly on beefs from the past two years. Featured here are 50 Cent vs. The Game, Nelly vs. Chingy, Lil' Flip vs. T.I., Game vs. Yukmouth, Twista vs. Bone Thugs & Harmony, and 50 Cent vs. Bang 'Em Smurf. While fans of the first two will no doubt rush out to pick this one up, they should be warned that this edition seems far more rushed and less detailed than its predecessors. Narrator DJ Kayslay who should be a perfect choice, given his moniker as the "Drama King" is far too energetic for his position. Most of the artists involved are relatively new to the game and don't really offer much of the "mature advice" that veterans like KRS-One and Ice-T showcased in earlier installments. The closest thing to an "old school" perspective is an intoxicated and cliché-heavy speech from Jim Jones in the DVD's "special features" section. The segments involving 50 Cent (versus Game, Bang 'Em) have no comments from him or anyone on G-Unit other than radio clips and as such come off as one-sided, though the Bang 'Em segment features an insightful explanation of their falling out from Smurf's comrade, Domination. Aside from concluding footage of the "West Coast Peace Summit", the program really doesn't do much to show closure on any of these feuds and even the ones that are announced as being "squashed" still feature less-than-kind post-match interviews from the participants. Given that they had access to such a groundbreaking event, it might have been cool for them to have included such feuds as Snoop Dogg vs. Death Row and Daz vs. Kurupt. All in all, it's a decent DVD but easily the weakest entry in the series.

Like the first reviewer said this one seems alot more rushed than the other 2. The T.I. VS Lil' Flip part was probably the best one as it actually had both people's sides of the story. The "50/ Bang Em' Smurf ; Game" parts don't show 50's side at all also the 50 VS Game part is out-of-date since they said they had sqaushed it when they're still beefing now. And then there's Lil' Scrappy vs The Cops?!.... Come on that's not even a beef. Twista VS Bone Thugs (they had beef?) was kinda boring. Although DJ Kay Slay is a pretty good narrator I liked the other guy alot better. The extras are pretty nice especailly footage from Game's infamous performance at Summer Jam.

This is probably my least favorite of the beefs. Most of it is about todays rappers go at it. You see T.I vs Lil flip, Game vs. 50 cent, and more. Most of the beefs though do get squashed well except for game and 50 we all know that still going on. It's pretty interesting but not like the first beef. Even the second one had some pretty good beefs. The one I don't get is why would they put lil scrappy vs the police. Man almost every rapper is against the police thats not a beef. Anyway a pretty good dvd but not worth to buy.

I always wondered why I never heard T.I.'s response to Ludacris' rhyme on Young Buck's album. Ludacris' response was dope though...especially the "t.i.p. of..." part. I'm scratching my head over the beef with Game and dude from "Five on It." If "Five on it" and him agreed that everything was cool, why did Game come at him like that? It sounded like they were telling TWO completely different stories...and nothing matched. The story about Bang 'em Up, Smurf and 50 Cent...wow. That was wild. Now I understand the part in 50 Cent's movie that Terrance Howard played. Sounds like Smurf was a little over the top, but still had his boy's back...so I have mixed feelings on that one. But as for the guy who said "his bodyguard TRIED to throw a chair"...yeah right, that guard THREW that chair HARD. I don't understand their purpose of coming to the concert to meanmug dude. If you're mad at him, you coming to his concert is only putting money in his pocket...how dumb is that?

What really interested me though was the beef between Royce Da 5'9 and Eminem. I bought Royce's album and I thought it was pretty average but after I heard the beef and his album played in the background, I realized I slept on it and plan to rebuy it again. The part about making sure the shooter can aim now makes sense to me, because when I saw it in Eight Mile I was lost. I'm assuming Bugs was the slow dude in Eminem's movie...anyway, I'm glad they could get past their differences.

As for T.I. and the Lucky Charms guy, you know, I thought Lucky Charms couldn't find his brain if his hand was right on his head, but from watching this interview, the dude got a lot more sense than I thought he did. I was shocked.

This whole tape was entertaining. I originally saw it on BET, but after Beef II and Beef III aired, I had to get 'em all. The first one is still my favorite because of Common, but they were all really good.

And as for Nelly, he was DEAD WRONG for that situation with Chingy. That rhyme was straight-up disrespectful. #1 You can't invent a slang term like "dirty" which was used WAY before him. Just because he didn't use it in a rhyme doesn't mean he didn't know the word. #2 Chingy came to him like a man and Nelly acted like a child. #3 Why is the tall dude even on that tape? Chingy wasn't even referencing him...and then the dude pronounced Kum-ba-ya wrong and I was threw! I laughed at him through the rest of the interview. Nelly's reaction made me not want to buy his next album...and judging from how wack "Sweat" and "Suit" was, I probably won't.

Beef 1 is the best one of the 4,the only reason worth watching is Pac',all the rest is just post-1996(Rap Game is Dead)malarkey,Biggie,G a y -Z, flab boy,mobb sleep are all whack, East Coast Rap unless it's 80s or BDI and Bootcamp Clik/SmiffnWessum it doesn't matter, And all these so-called "Positive Rappers" as Willie D once said Positivity ain't getting nobody paid. All these back-packers read Fake muslims(Nation of Islam is a Radical Communist Sect-yet they have an monopoly on bean pies and providing security for the industry,ironically the suspect last seen around BIG was an Bowtie wearing "Peaceful" follower.) The only ones worth listening to Yukmouth,Scarface,Willie D,Dru Down,E-40,Bone,Spice 1,GrandMaster Flash,Big Daddy Kane,but all these others are all over rated,Krs-one is one self centered sucka MC.Backpackers or bling rap is still dead.

Beef 3 gave me a better understanding of the Lil Flip and T.I. situation. Kayslay did a great job with narrating this movie. But I think at this point we are all "Beef" out. All three were good movies, but i'm NOT looking forward to another one.

it is a good documentary but i think it should have 50 cent's side of the story on the beef with the game.

I thought this $hit was tight.For real cause the 50 cent V.S. the
Bang Em smurf was good,The Bone Thugs n Harmony V.S.Twista was
interesting...Nelly V.S. Chingy that beef was gay,but funny,
mostly gay cause both rappers suck and they aint hard.Then there
was lil Scrappy V.S. the police,huh?..i understand they were talkin about security guards but that has nothing to do with him
and a rap artist.Then there was Ludacris V.S. T.I. nothing happened but it was squashed quickly before it did hit the media.Lil Flip V.S. T.I.Was a hard one to figure out but i did
figure out how it started it was That T.I. was in flips trailer
and flip had a attitute in the thing about the Game Over remix
and then it furthered at a some show in atlanta.Then it was the game beefs with Yukmouth,Joe Budden...that beef suxx cause budden is trash then Him And 50 and thats the end.There really
should of been some old beefs but they might be in the next.

Vol. 3 of this series focuses on things that happened in the last year or so. This is great because nobody remembers last year. I'm glad they didn't waste time showing anything interesting or featuring any rappers who matter. My favourite part is the feature on Twista vs. Bone Thugs n Harmony, which is Twista saying "we never had beef" and krayzie or whichever bone saying "we never had beef". Perfect material for a dvd titled Beef. I was particularly impressed by interviews with such stars as a guy who used to know 50 Cent, and a guy who kind of looks like Phife Dawg. I'm sure guys like KRS-One, Ice Cube and B-Real really wanted to come back, but they just weren't big enough names.

To the 2 reviewers who said 50 and game are still beefin but not on here,dude look at the f*ckin special features,click on "GAME DISSES 50 CENT AT SUMMER JAM" right there,so shut your potholes.
