Summary: THERE ARE A LOT OF MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THIS VIDEO:
Review: First off, let me start by saying that I'm no Death Row Records "hater," as I have every Death row album CD ever released (all 18), but this video is a disappointment in many ways. First: The sound quality is NOT in Hi-fi stereo (whereas "Murder Was The Case Video," and every other contemporary, commercially released VHS video are released in Hi-fi stereo as that is the standard for professionalism), the sound quality is way below average and you'll have to turn your volume up high as hell to even hear it (regardless of what hi-tech stereo equipment that you're working with). SECONDLY: ALL THE VIDEOS ARE CUT (AT LEAST A MINUTE BEFORE THE ACTUAL ENDINGS) AND THEY END SO ABRUPTLY THAT YOU WOULD THINK THAT ONE OF YOUR BUDDIES DUBBED THEM FROM MTV's TOTAL REQUEST LIVE LOL! THIRDLY: MOST OF THE VIDEOS ARE EDITED MTV VERSIONS (COMPLETE WITH THE CHRONIC LEAF LOGO HAT THAT SNOOP, DOC, AND DRE WERE WEARING THROUGHOUT THE "NUTHIN BUT A G THANG" MTV-LIKE CENSORED VIDEO). LAST BUT NOT LEAST: All this video does is take cowardly shots at Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Interscope Records, etc. Why? What did they do to them? I don't understand why Suge and Death Row keep doing this. IF IT WEREN'T FOR DRE, SNOOP, AND INTERSCOPE, THERE WOULD BE NO DEATH ROW. SUGE, MOVE ON AND LEAVE THEM ALONE! There are some videos missing too: Sam Sneed's U Better Recognize, 2Pac's "NEVER BEFORE SEEN VERSION" OF "Toss It Up," DAZ's "It Might Sound Crazy," 2Pac's "Hit 'Em Up" (because the version that's on the tape is unacceptable as they put in some stupid live concert footage), 2Pac's XXXPLICIT VERSION OF "How Do U want It" (again, they put in some stupid live concert footage and messed up another great video). If you are a die hard fan of Death Row Records former splendor (AS AM I), you may enjoy this tape (if you're not bothered by the anti-Dre/Snoop/Interscope Records sentiments expressed in this video. But if you are bothered by them, and/or you aren't a die hard fan, DO NOT buy this tape because you will not like the abruptly ending videos, Suge and Death Row Records' conspicuous jealousy that's being betrayed throughout this red VHS video tape, etc.

Summary: Not as good as I expected.
Review: Firstly, I'm a huge fan of Snoops old stuff (chronic, doggystyle) and an even bigger fan of Kurupt from Tha Dogg Pound and I love Dre's old production (1992-1994) That's why I got this video, not because of 2pac - I don't like him at all, I fast fowarded through most of his parts. He was in about 25% of the video for those wondering. There are 4 video clips from Chronic. As video clips, these are not very good, Snoop and Dre didn't even rap to the camera through half of them. I did however enjoy them, since I'm a big fan of Snoop and those songs. Doggsyle had 4 clips, including a different version of murder was the case. These were quite good, definitely better than the Chronic ones. Tha Dogg Pound had only 2 clips - New York New York, which cuts out halfway into it and isn't that good anyway, and What Would You Do, which wasn't on their album. This was quite good, except Kurupt only raps to the camera about half the time. There is a Dre/Ice Cube song Natural Born Killers which is different to the clip I had seen before. It is about as good as the one I had seen, which is pretty good. There are various parts of a DeathRow concert with Lady of Rage, Snoop, Kurupt, Nate dogg, DJ quick. These were surprisingly weak - the sound was bad and the rappers didn't sound very good live. Except Rage, she was good. I was interested to see them live but I was quite dissapointed. There were 2 pornographic video clips, 2pac and DJ quick, and other pornography in it. In my opinion, most of the women weren't that goodlooking so the porn wasn't really a bonus. There was only goodlooking woman and it was hard to see her because the credits were coming up. The other video clips had the swear words edited out. Seriously! Even though it is supposed to be uncut. The stuff other than video clips does have swearing in though. Suge Knight seems to have dedicated this video to dissing Dre and Snoop - It even has detailed instructions on how to get to their houses! This is annoying because it is silly and unneccesary. Overall, I recommend this if you are a full on Snoop fan or full on fan of the albums Chronic and Doggystyle. Otherwise, it isn't worth the money. Like I said, I'm a big Snoop and Kurupt fan, and I'm not even sure this was worth the money..... I am sure that if you don't really, and I mean really, like Snoop and Chronic and Doggystyle, then this isn't worth the money. For me the album was 4 stars (just). For the average fan I would say only 2 stars, and for the ordinary person I would say 0 stars.

Summary: Not Uncut!!
Review: I bought this a while ago on vhs & while this isn't uncut it offers the best gangsta rap videos ever made. If you are 2 Pac fan you will love this from 2 Pac's Live performance of Dear momma to hit em up and 3 x-rated videos including one with Dogg Pound & the Realist who was a close friend of 2 Pac & sounds alot like him. All the concert footage is great from 2 Pac to the Dogg Pound you'll love it the narration plot I find annoying but very funny who the hell likes Gay Ass DRE Anyway!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie is a must See !
Review: I though this viedo waz very well done... i got 2 c inside the label i really like ... The pieces of some of the viedos i didn't ever see before were a big plus... I really got to see inside some of my favorite singers ... Like 2pac ( 1 of the greatest rappers to ever sing .. if not the best), Suge Knight (AkA the CEO of Death Row Record) and Nate Dogg , To name a few ... i feel that anyone who likes rap or most of all the WEST COAST ! should see this movie... i though giving out Dre'z and Snoops home address was a little out of hand ... but i got to say it was a Great way to end the movie ! Well thats my Review .. Peace

Summary: The Real Deal wit The Death Row DVD
Review: I'll be as brief as possible. The menu selection screens serve their purpose, but look like they were done by a four year old. The actual videos are all there, bar one or two (no Sam Sneed, no Lady of Rage vid either.) and there are some interesting alternative videos for Dogg Pound's "What Would U Do?" and Dre & Cube's "NBK" altho' both versions are inferior to the videos you'll be more familiar with. The links between the videos are done by some guys sitting in a car, reminiscing on Death Row's hey-day, but at the same time dissing Dre and Snoop. They say Snoop has sold-out and that Dre is gay, then go into one their classic videos...very confusing. Couple this with the fact that no-one actually cares who these guys in the car are or what they've got to say, and these links slowly become annoying and irritating (and the ending is actually pathetic). Also, for no apparent reason, they decide to give out detailed instructions on how to find Dre's & Snoop's houses, which is just some straight-up playa hating. Yes, some of the videos are cut short, but only by 30 seconds or so. The concert footage is quite good, but the highlight of this DVD is the XXX rated videos. Don't wanna sound sexist ladies, but these vids pull no punches, are sexually explicit, and coupled with the West Coast hip hop sound, make for very compelling viewing. There's a half-baked slideshow and an even worse Trivia quiz, but the scene selection facility basically saves the DVD, cutting out the links and enabling u to blast all your favorites. Overall, worth having if you're a back-in-the-day Death Row fan, but it's far from perfect. More behind-the-scenes footage and better links could have put this DVD up there with the classics. But as it stands, Death Row Uncut is an average affair at best.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a classic video!
Review: I've got this video as my #1 link on my site (come.to/the213page) because of the amazing rare footage that this video has. If you like Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre, or Tupac, this video is an absolute must!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Death Row Uncut - "A TRUE CAN'T MISS VIDEO."
Review: If you like rap of ANY kind, or just Death Row, then this video is a must! I couldn't actually believe what i was seeing in it! If anyone ever doubted if death row was for real i was one of them, until i watched it at a friends house. I never really liked death row before but after seeing this it showed me what really go's on behind the scenes in the rap music industry. im 100% completely sold on death row now. The're was absolute hilarious stuff in it!, there was serious real gangsta stuff in it too and that's for real!, like suge knight, k.c. & jo jo, 2pac, and at the... (i'm not gonna give it away, but i will say your jaw will hit the floor when you see some of this stuff that i just mentioned, plus others)! and i was shocked at the ending (you'll see what i mean) and when you do you'll know that these cats are for real! this video is more than just another music vcr tape whatever you wanna call it, this is a keeper, and when i get my copy (like i said i watched it at a friends house first because i didn't know if i should bother buying it) i'm NEVER getting rid of it! It's probably the most entertaining video(of any genre)i've seen since scarface. Im tellin ya straight up this is the best home entertainment video i've ever seen hands down.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: What a waste of hype
Review: Let me start off by saying iam one of the biggest tupac/death row fans in the world. When i ordered the video i couldnt wait to get it. Now that i have it i wish i had my money back. The video is all hype. All the videos are BS and cut-short. Let me tell you all what happens in the video: POSITIVES: A few Tupac concert performences that are cut short anyway. Some good X-rated stuff. Behind the scenes pac material. NEGATIVES: Only about 3-4 of the videos are finished properly. The unrealesed Pac videos are exactly the same but with a few scenes changed. Nothing really exciting. Dissing Snopp and Dre. Bunch of mark A$$ tricks who sit in a car that think they know what death row was all about. AND THE CUTTING OUT OF THE VIDEOS. BUYERS ARE BETTER OFF BUYING A BACKYARD JOB OFF OF EBAY OR SOMETHING IF THEY WANT FULL FILM CLIPS.

THE BOTTEM LINE IS DONT BUY THIS TAPE, ITS A WASTE OF 2 HOURS, AND A WASTE OF CA$H. I WISH I GOULD GET MY MONEY BACK.
