Some of this was really interesting. I don't usually like freestyle battles because rappers have a tendency to talk about the same three things: guns, money, and hoes. It's an overused and boring formula that makes me really tired of the music itself. But I enjoyed the freestyle battle between Cassidy and Freeway because I never really thought Cassidy could rhyme before I saw this tape. He used the same deadbeat formula, but he really did have the ability to rhyme. I thoroughly enjoyed the scenes with Busta Rhymes and Jay-Z. I thought the scene with Noreaga and his illiterate friend could've been cut out, along with Fat Joe and Young Gunz scene. I would've picked better artists to display on the tape, but that's a taste decision. Actually, this tape inspired me to write a piece on the difference between hip-hop and rap, so I appreciate it for that. Especially the braggadocia, the jewelry, and the stereotypes. I wouldn't invest any money into this DVD, but I'm glad I rented it.
