What exactly was "Murder was the case"?

[R-Tistic]

True, it seems like more of a collector's item than anything else then.

I can believe ya'll dissing this.. man I watched this back in the day when it first came out and it took me damn near 10 years to get a copy of my own.. i gave a blank tape to the dude that showed me it originally but he never dubbed it for me like he was supposed to..

natural born killaz video.. murder was the case mini movie-- directed by dre.. snoop interviews.. isnt there a dpg live performance on some tv show on there too?

Yeah, there's Snoop and the pound doing Lodi Dodi, there's a Nuthin' But A G Thang performance in there, plus Intro to The G Funk Era over the Gz and Hustlaz beat (or vice versa).

All in all it's a good collectors' package, but considering the amount of music videos that came off of the OST, there could have been more.

The interviews are good tho' - it's quite funny to see how the British reporter treats Snoop Dogg like a criminal, not knowing how iconic he would become.

The movie is poor but the video's , interviews life perfomances r nice.

The first time I got high I watched it. For a 1994 movie with ghetto production, it was pretty good. I thought they'd just do a handheld camera type thing, but they actually used film and did a pretty good job putting together a story.

"Murder Was The Case" soundtrack is the best sdtk ever made...

[Trauma-san]

That's basically Snoop's seminal video in my opinion, the beat is fucking BANANAS too.  I love in the video when it shows Dre playing keyboard, only time I've seen that in one of their videos. 


If you want the best ever "murder was the case" get the one live from the MTV video awards (must have been in 1995).  Anybody seen it?

There's a big church scene on stage, with the lights all dark, and a whole choir, and a casket in the middle of the stage with a spotlight shining in it.  There's a preacher and an organ playing church music, and the preacher's saying things like "HE WAS A GOOD BROTHER!!!"... all these people are walking by the casket, paying their respects and things...

all of a sudden the "Murder Was the Case" beat breaks in, you hear Snoop "Murder was the Case That They Gave Me!" and he does the whole first verse... when he gets to the "It's gonna take a miracle, they say... for me to walk again and talk again, but anyway"  Daz wheels him out on stage in a wheelchair, and he stands up out of it and finishes the song. 

Dre played the keys live from the back of the fucking stage, too.  Awesome performance, the best 'rap' performance I've ever seen on t.v. 

[Trauma-san]

Oh, I forgot.. the choir the whole time was going "OOOH AAAA Oooooooooooohhhh" and singing in the background like it was a church.  They blowed it out of the water.
