Movie Reviews of Welcome to Death Row
Movie Review: Rise and Fall of Death Row
Summary: 5 Stars
While I already knew quite a lot about Death Row records before buying this, I was interested in watching this documentary after reading good reviews on it. While there are no huge revelations included here, it is a fascinating insight into the notorious hip-hop label, that was running rap music in the early to mid 90's. Most of the main players are interviwed here, Dre, Snoop, Suge and Harry-O. It charts their massive rise after releasing The Chronic and then Doggystyle the next year and then where it all started to go wrong, when Suge Knight started to bask in his new found fame. Some of the accounts show exactly how ruthless Suge was, though i suspect there are even more untold stories involving him. The seocnd half of the dvd deals mainly with Tupac, and then how Death Row completely fell apart, with Dre leaving and then Pac's death. If you have any interest in the hip-hop industry i would urge you to buy this, the only criticisms i have are that there are no interviws with David Kenner (Death Row Lawyer) or anyone at Interscope Records like Jimmy Iovine, though im not surprised they were unavailable to comment. An excellent documentary.Movie Review: Most Notorious Record Label Ever

If you're a fan of Tupac, Dr. Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg, etc., you should watch this documentary on tha record label that made them (except Tupac). The documentary tells the story of the label from before it was even created, to its demise. It contains footage of Tupac, Dr. Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound, and interviews with other DeathRow artists such as Jewell, RBX, Pretty Ricky, etc. It talks about the conflict between Ruthless Records and DeathRow, rooting from the problem between Eazy E, Jerry Heller, and Dr. Dre., how Dre and Harry O (Michael Harris) helped to start DeathRow, how criminal lawyer David Kenner was involved, Suge Knight, Tupac, when Dre left DeathRow, and everything else that happened with the label. It's a really interesting and informative documentary, and I strongly reccommend it to any fan of hip hop.Movie Review: I watched it TWO DAYS straight!!!

When I first saw this I was like "D@#$" at the end! I'm a big Tupac fan and when I heard all this stuff and saw all these events it had me really thinking... and that is actually what this documentary gives you.. something to think about. Everything from the NWA break up to the dreaded night of the greatest rapper of all-time (2Pac) getting shot. And the man who is tied up to all of this is Suge Knight. I love this film but there are certain thing's I don't agree on, and that's not letting Suge tell his side, it seems like the makers and producers where making Suge look like a bad bad guy, but sometimes I wonder if they made him look bad or he's made himself look that way, but this is a very nice film, my blood rushes when I hear 2Pac giving that interview at the MTV music awards dissing Nas, and Bad Boy!!! A+++++, BRAVO!!!Movie Review: Welcome to Death Row
Summary: 5 Stars
This documentary surprised me. At first I saw it because I am a rap fan especially of the old Death Row. I was blown away by the style and production of this movie. Two huge things make this documentary worth wild. First off the film is completely impartial. You just get the facts and opinions of those directly involved and few from those outside. The other factor is that other people who aren't rap fans will find this interesting. After my viewing I showed this to many friends and all were deeply interested despite any real interest in rap music. Great topic because of it's controversy and it's impact over the nation. If you give it an honest shot you'll find it interesting and very well done.Movie Review: Welcome to Death Row
