If you like rap of ANY kind, or just Death Row, then this video is a must! I couldn't actually believe what i was seeing in it! If anyone ever doubted if death row was for real i was one of them, until i watched it at a friends house. I never really liked death row before but after seeing this it showed me what really go's on behind the scenes in the rap music industry. im 100% completely sold on death row now. The're was absolute hilarious stuff in it!, there was serious real gangsta stuff in it too and that's for real!, like suge knight, k.c. & jo jo, 2pac, and at the... (i'm not gonna give it away, but i will say your jaw will hit the floor when you see some of this stuff that i just mentioned, plus others)! and i was shocked at the ending (you'll see what i mean) and when you do you'll know that these cats are for real! this video is more than just another music vcr tape whatever you wanna call it, this is a keeper, and when i get my copy (like i said i watched it at a friends house first because i didn't know if i should bother buying it) i'm NEVER getting rid of it! It's probably the most entertaining video(of any genre)i've seen since scarface. Im tellin ya straight up this is the best home entertainment video i've ever seen hands down.

First off, let me start by saying that I'm no Death Row Records "hater," as I have every Death row album CD ever released (all 18), but this video is a disappointment in many ways. First: The sound quality is NOT in Hi-fi stereo (whereas "Murder Was The Case Video," and every other contemporary, commercially released VHS video are released in Hi-fi stereo as that is the standard for professionalism), the sound quality is way below average and you'll have to turn your volume up high as hell to even hear it (regardless of what hi-tech stereo equipment that you're working with). SECONDLY: ALL THE VIDEOS ARE CUT (AT LEAST A MINUTE BEFORE THE ACTUAL ENDINGS) AND THEY END SO ABRUPTLY THAT YOU WOULD THINK THAT ONE OF YOUR BUDDIES DUBBED THEM FROM MTV's TOTAL REQUEST LIVE LOL! THIRDLY: MOST OF THE VIDEOS ARE EDITED MTV VERSIONS (COMPLETE WITH THE CHRONIC LEAF LOGO HAT THAT SNOOP, DOC, AND DRE WERE WEARING THROUGHOUT THE "NUTHIN BUT A G THANG" MTV-LIKE CENSORED VIDEO). LAST BUT NOT LEAST: All this video does is take cowardly shots at Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Interscope Records, etc. Why? What did they do to them? I don't understand why Suge and Death Row keep doing this. IF IT WEREN'T FOR DRE, SNOOP, AND INTERSCOPE, THERE WOULD BE NO DEATH ROW. SUGE, MOVE ON AND LEAVE THEM ALONE! There are some videos missing too: Sam Sneed's U Better Recognize, 2Pac's "NEVER BEFORE SEEN VERSION" OF "Toss It Up," DAZ's "It Might Sound Crazy," 2Pac's "Hit 'Em Up" (because the version that's on the tape is unacceptable as they put in some stupid live concert footage), 2Pac's XXXPLICIT VERSION OF "How Do U want It" (again, they put in some stupid live concert footage and messed up another great video). If you are a die hard fan of Death Row Records former splendor (AS AM I), you may enjoy this tape (if you're not bothered by the anti-Dre/Snoop/Interscope Records sentiments expressed in this video. But if you are bothered by them, and/or you aren't a die hard fan, DO NOT buy this tape because you will not like the abruptly ending videos, Suge and Death Row Records' conspicuous jealousy that's being betrayed throughout this red VHS video tape, etc.

Dont get me wrong i am a huge deathrow fan, i have alot the deathrow cd's serveral dvds about deathrow and about tupac and anumber of books, out of all the deathrow products i have seen this is by far the worst, steer clear of it unless you really dont care about you money

Let me start off by saying iam one of the biggest tupac/death row fans in the world. When i ordered the video i couldnt wait to get it. Now that i have it i wish i had my money back. The video is all hype. All the videos are BS and cut-short. Let me tell you all what happens in the video: POSITIVES: A few Tupac concert performences that are cut short anyway. Some good X-rated stuff. Behind the scenes pac material. NEGATIVES: Only about 3-4 of the videos are finished properly. The unrealesed Pac videos are exactly the same but with a few scenes changed. Nothing really exciting. Dissing Snopp and Dre. Bunch of mark A$$ tricks who sit in a car that think they know what death row was all about. AND THE CUTTING OUT OF THE VIDEOS. BUYERS ARE BETTER OFF BUYING A BACKYARD JOB OFF OF EBAY OR SOMETHING IF THEY WANT FULL FILM CLIPS.

THE BOTTEM LINE IS DONT BUY THIS TAPE, ITS A WASTE OF 2 HOURS, AND A WASTE OF CA$H. I WISH I GOULD GET MY MONEY BACK.

Death Row Uncut takes a look at the history of Death Row Records, which featured artists such as Dr. Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound (Daz & Kurupt), 2Pac, Lady of Rage, Nate Dogg, OFTB, The Outlawz, Danny Boy, and the list goes on. This DVD features artist videos including some unreleased versions, live performances, and behind the scenes footage from the artists' days on the Row. Definitely worth checking out if you like any of the Death Row artists particularly 2Pac and Tha Dogg Pound.

This video is just strange. I dont even know where to start. First off--the video and sound quality are way sub-par. Plus-the music videos they show are censored and usually cut off. Another thing is-half way through the tape it turns into a p o r n basically. Its also silly that they spend the entire video dissing Dre and Snoop, dispite the fact that if it wasn't for Dre and Snoop there would be no Death Row video in the first place. Its just a very strange release. There are a lot of cool stuff for those who were hardcore death row fans (before they fell off). There are rare videos and footage from Snoop, 2 Pac, Dogg Pound, Dre, DPG, etc. So what it boils down to is that if youre a rap fan that wants to remember Death Row's glory days, then buy this video. Just dont get your hopes up too high.

The begining of the video is classic Dre and Snoop videos, like nuttin but a G thang, and Dre Day, but they don't play the whole videos. They have some DPG, Snoop and a few X-rated videos, but the reason I bought the tape was for the 2pac footage. There are some cool behind the scenes shots at the Made Niggaz and Toss it up video shoots. There is some footage from Club 662 and the House of Blues Concert that is mixed in with the regular 2pac videos. I wish they would play the entire songs, but its better than nothing. If you really like the old Death Row videos or if you're a true 2pac fan, this video is definitely worth it.

This DVD should not be sold. First of all, all of the videos advertised on the DVD package are not there. You cannot navigate this DVD like a normal DVD. On top of that, videos and songs are cut so short you can't enjoy them, case in point, the video for "Regulate" cuts off before the end of the video and Rage's live performance of "Afro Puffs" is cut short. What irks me the most is some of the promised videos just aren't there dude. This is plain old false advertsing. Maybe they are there and I just couldn't find them because I have never seen a DVD in my life where scenes repeat-I am not lying, you watch a video and a life performance in one point of the DVD and then it starts over to the same live Dogg Pound performance. There is some rare snoop video footage that I enjoyed, and the adult version of "How Do You Want It," but other than that this DVD is just plain terrible.

Actually, this was and wasn't everything that I wanted it to be. One thing that I didn't like is how they diss on Dre and Snoop alot through the entire DVD, and even go talk to a real male prostitute saying that he did a "job" for Dre back in the day.

Other than that I liked it, one of the main reasons I bought it though was for the scenes with Tupac. That's some of waht I liked the most, the best scene, in my opinion is when they're at the filming of "Toss It Up" on the coast of L.A. and Pac is just sittin there laughin and jokin around with Suge, K-Ci & JoJo. That brought back some good memories...

Also, this DVD has some 'LoadTV' options if you put it in your comp, so that was a plus, and it features more than 30 Death Row videos, all with great setup's too, I still don't think the "main characters" were needed. But they did good, all in all, you should get this if you want to remember the day.

I've got this video as my #1 link on my site (come.to/the213page) because of the amazing rare footage that this video has. If you like Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre, or Tupac, this video is an absolute must!
