      Audience Member Great behind the scene view if the biggest East Coast rappers of the time on tour! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I've seen this probably about 20 times. Based view of what goes on behind the scenes at concerts/tours. Crazy to look back and see where some of the artists were THEN, vs NOW... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member It's annoying for the fact it's a collection of well-to-do muscians and groupies simply f-ing and shouting at each other for nearly an hour and a half. However it does provide a good insight into this sub-cultural world if you can handle the aforementioned.
