This review is from: The Industry (DVD)

this DVD is really cool because it shows what a Manager does within the Music Business in the Land of Hip-Hop. also shows the A&R Department&also goes into detail about Budgets for Projects. I was hoping to see the Points a Artist gets per release&also the reaction of Artists through these meetings. but this is a Pretty Good documentary on the Corperate World of Hip-Hop Music.alot of Politics&Decision making.

I plan to show this to my high school juniors/seniors, hoping they can work past the occasional f-bomb, as the presentation of the manager, A&R rep and other industry elites far outweighs the foul language. In particular we see smart, focused, professional young African-Americans making on-point decisions for their clients, putting in the long hours and dedication it takes to make themselves and their clients successful. Very well done. -- PC, Chicago

Good footage and information about the industry. However, released in 2005, many of the names will be unfamiliar and/or dated to a younger crowd. Even though the case says "not rated," cuss words drop quite a bit. Teachers wanting to show this to a class may want to first preview the film. (when will production companies realize they can expand their audience if they would make product viewable by everyone!)
