The Daz "Gangsta Shit" DVD? Well I'm at work but I'll try to speak a little about it. I like it, it's a little disjointed though, it's like a collage. You have videos (and yeah, they do kinda look like they were taped off of BET or MTV) of In California, Knick Knack Paddy Wack, Streets is a Mutha, Who Ride With Us, It's Over, Behind the Walls, On the Grind (maybe ??) Let's Play House, What Would You Do, New York New York and more.

I liked when Daz not only confronted Kurupt about going to the Row, but he felt the need to bring a camera with him!! Just like Daz lol. That part is interesting, especially the look on Daz face of "this shit is crazy". There's footage of a brawl (maybe San Diego) with Daz doing commentary.

Like I said, I'm at work right now but I'll post up more when I get home and have the DVD there. I'd say though that it is worth it if only for the videos. Of course I don't know what prices the UK has, but it was worth my $15.

Optical, I know you're a big Cube fan, do you have the DVD Video Collection Vol 1? Just wondering.

peace,

Thanks for taking the time tnp, appreciate it !
It does sound like a good buy, only reason i said bout the reviews being biased was because most of the "reviewers" has dpg in their name / e-mail address lol
will look forward to your comments later bro when you have more time.
Yeah the Ice Cube dvd looks amazing..i think you mentioned it somewhere on the board before cos that prompted me to look for it ;)

Havent seen it on region 2 yet but hoping it will be soon! Think i saw it at cduniverse..not sure now.

My main prob with that is that i can play any region on my pc / laptop dvd but my home dvd only plays region 2 i think...if i were to get that cube...
...damn id be playing it up loud...all day every day :)    lol

Anyways look forward to your ideas bro

Pz

Here's the scene selection:
Big Red (some guy dressed up in flashy clothes posing as the president of Big Red Records talks about the industry, very sarcastic)
Intro (Daz on the phone talking in front of the LA county jail talking about "I just got out of jail on suspicion of murder" couldn't quite get what this was about, dunno who he's talking to)
Id Rather Lie 2 Ya (Video) (low quality, Daz rapping in a jail cell)
Three Weeks Later (Daz smoking shirtless in a hotel room with him talking to the camera about chasing money, his situation at Death Row)
We Livin Gangsta Like (Live) (Daz and Kurupt performing this song in various venues)
DPGC Backstage-Part One (Daz, Kurupt, Snoop, talking to the camera)
Serial Killa Live (performed at various venues)
It's Goin Down ("nobody wasn't playin, when we say fucked up, we mean it, DPGs, CPTs, LBCs, it all went down, San Diego wasn't shit Bloods get mopped (mobbed?) up..." commentary over the brawl in San Diego)
DPGC Backstage-Part Two (Snoop talking, Uncle Junebug dancing)
Dillinger N Young Gotti-Freestyle (Daz, Kurupt "freestyling" before a show)
Dipp Wit Me (Video) (Just them performing the song while the person shooting the video thinks that it looks good to turn the camera to make it look like they are rapping upside down.)
Daz N Kurupt-Last Werdz (The Final Interview) (Daz confronts Kurupt about joining Death Row...not just him though, in front of other people. Kurupt tries to sidestep, then admits, looks very perturbed. Kurupt goes on a monologue about money and records. The best of the non music video part)

Music videos:
New York New York
Let's Play House
In California
We Can Freak It
It's Over
Who Ride Wit Us
What Would U Do?
Way Too Major
Knick Knack Paddy Wack
Behind the Walls
Gimmewhutchagot
Nuthin But Tha Cavi Hit
The Streetz Is a Mutha (my favorite video on here, it lives up to the title of the DVD)
Id Rather Lie 2 Ya
Dipp Wit Me

Some of the videos have a paw print down at the bottom, and some of the music segues into the next video. The DVD has a sort of homemade feel to it, which you would expect from Daz but I kinda like that part, it not being slick and all.

Yeah, that Ice Cube is  :o :o I've been a Cube fan since 91 and have been waiting for something like this forever! Take my recommendation about this with a grain of salt cause he is  the GOAT to me. The DVD is kinda barebones with only the videos and him talking to Flea and Anthony Kedies from Red Hot Chili Peppers on the set of the Wicked video. But worth it just to have high quality Cube videos all in one spot.

Who's The Mack
Jackin for Beats
Dead Homiez
Steady Mobbin'
True to the Game
Wicked
It Was a Good Day
Check Yo Self (Remix)
bop gun
Really Doe
You Know How We Do It
You Know How We Do It (Remix, Part 2)
Lil Ass Gee (Remix)
What Can I Do? (Westside Remix)

peace,
tnp

Only the What Can I Do? (Remix) video is uncensored audio, the others are radio/video versions.

Thanks a lot tnp your a star!


Fo real im a die hard ice cube fan...always have been since i first heard him flow...gotta get the dvd..knowing me ima be too impatient to wait till region 2 and get it on region 1 (then region 2 format lol)

i got most of his vids uncut in svcd format anyway so im not bothered about the uncensored manner too much - althought its always best to have in realest, rawest form...ah well

Take it easy
bro :)
