“The Show” (documentary) revisited
In full effect… Biggie Smalls is the illest! For any 90’s Hip-Hop head…
“The Show” is a mixture of live performances and candid interviews.
Yeah, I’ll be honest with you… I shop at Big lots.Who shouldn’t?!? You can get batteries for half price, blank CD-R’s for dirt cheap and even shampoo that’s cheaper than Target’s sale price! My favorite section at that store is the Bargain bin DVD section where legit movies like “Escape from New York” and just about every Van Damme movie after Street Fighter is in there for the low price of $3 bucks… The mother load of all come ups was found in the Big lots DVD bin and that film is “The Show” a dope Hip-Hop documentary presented by Russell Simmons. Why the f@#k it was there, I have no idea. The fact of the matter is I just got one of the best Hip-Hop documentaries (next to style wars) at a discount close out store for $3 bucks and it’s still listed on Amazon for $17.99!
“The Show” is a must for any Hip-Hop fan. “What happens on stage is only half the story…” Damn right it is! With liver perfrmances from Wu-Tang Clan, Dr. Re & Snoop, RUN DMC and possibly one of the best Notorious B.I.G. performances recorded is featured on this documentary. Between each live performance each artist speaks for themselves in candid interviews dealing with the rise of success and the struggles they went through to get to where they are. Biggie’s interview was the most candid one that got very personal, and gave aus a better understanding of what he constructed within Hip-Hop culture. The Wu-tang interview and behind the scenes were classic, like any family relationship expect drama! (especially with Method man and U-God, lol!) Go behind the scenes and relive some of the best 90’s concert footage in one single dvd. I gotta give it up to Big Lots for hookin’ this up in my library!
