Frankly, while it was cool to see more footage, most the descriptions of it were exaggerated to make it sound better than it really was.  While only a fraction of what was on it had already been seen (mostly on things like Thug Angel), you weren't missing much, as the best stuff was already put out.  Not quite worth the money though, in hindsight.

Remembering Makaveli 1 had the most unseen footage if i can remember, i haven't watched it in years, i have all dvd's. To me some of it can be boring at times
but it is still worth having in my opinion

Yeah, but a lot of it was useless shit.  There's one clip where it was supposedly Snoop (not the one onstage but just out in the street), and it clearly isn't Snoop.  There's some other clip where it was supposedly Pac fighting, but all you see is a bunch of people throwing punches at some concert, and you can't even confirm it's him.

I can appreciate the projects for what they were along with the bonus material, but a lot of it was just table scraps, really.  Again, a lot of exaggerated descriptions.  I remember reading what was on RM2, and it had all sorts of stuff about the Hit 'Em Up video shoot, like one description mentioned them coming up with the idea of putting a pricetag on the Lil Kim lookalike's wig... except it was just Pac randomly saying that (as opposed to what you'd have assumed, such as people discussing ideas over a period of time) in basically five seconds... which was disappointing when the DVD arrived and I watched it all.

Same thing with RM3, which I think was a bit more disappointing.  It was labeled as studio footage, so it sounded like we were going to get the good stuff, but it was literally just that, with Pac hardly in it.  No footage of them actually recording, just bullshitting in the studio.  So it wasn't inaccurate, but it was a little misleading.

I won't even get into The Sessions.  That big waste of money is what got me to stop buying their stuff.

All true comments here. I too was a purchaser of Dante's releases up unil The Sessions. I mean, it was exciting for a little while to see new Pac footage, but yeah, a lot of it was useless. The few really great things they released - The Black Watch Interviews, Letter 2 My Unborn, Too Late Playa - have now become widely known and available, so nobody really missed out by not buying the Dante stuff.

Yeah, the bonus interviews (like the entire Pac interview of him talking about the rape case in the back of some library or something) were cool.  Too Late Playa was dope, but the songs on the later RMs were kind of lame... like how two or three of the bonus tracks on one of them were all just variations of What'z Ya Phone #, arguably one of the worst Death Row Pac songs ever.  I don't think anyone really cared to have the instrumental.  Sure, I'll take it, but the music was also one of the selling points of the projects.  And when you talk about selling a DVD and you say it has this much footage or this many bonus tracks, I'm not going to expect it to be scraps... which was the case with The Sessions.
