KURUPT-G-TV-2 DISC SET-SNOOP-XZIBIT-BRAND NEW-RAPPERS!!

Go behind the scenes with Kurupt and see some of the stars of Gangsta up close. Features: Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, Daz Dillinger, Tha Eastsidaz, Tha Alkaholiks, Kokane, Young Roscoe and others. Also includes a bonus CD with some exclusive unreleased tracks from Kurupt, Roscoe and the Vapirz.

There are plenty of highlights throughout this release. Kurupt's homey Roscoe gets into a live freestyle battle halfway through which nearly dissolves into a brawl when both rappers start freestyling at the same time. It's also either comedic or embarassing to see middle class white suburbanites throwing up gang signs and claiming DPG's in chapters of the video simply called "Missouri" and "Fanz in Missouri." Homemade videos like "That's Gangsta S and "Represent" featuring Snoop Dogg appear throughout. Clips shown with the song "C-Walkin Cha Cha Cha" would serve as an instructional video in doing the dance if you didn't already know it - just watch who you do it in front of potnah!

Unlike the previous Fortress Entertainment video for Xzibit though, there are no actual music videos by the featured artist seen on BET or MTV included within the compilation. Hold up though! Before you trip on that, you should realize this DVD is a DOUBLE DISC release. If you purchase the DVD, you get a bonus disc of all new Kurupt music including the song "Now Wut" by Kurupt and Roscoe featured in the movie, as well as snippets by several new artists like Vapirz and Skyz Da Limit. The music is the typical G-Funk bounce you're probably already familiar with as a Kurupt fan, so this extra disc is a very nice inclusion.

On the whole, this disc is a superlative collection of materials by and about Kurupt, a pioneering West coast MC who along with his Dogg Pound affiliates Daz Dillinger and Snoop Dogg reinvented the entire sound of L.A. rap in the 90's. If you were already a fan of the DPG's this movie/video would be a must-have. If you're not but you still like West coast hip-hop, it would not be a mistake to rent and watch this album - but you won't get the disc of bonus music that's yours to keep if you do. Even if you're only looking for a DVD about hip-hop music and artists in general from a fresh uncensored and raw look at the life of a gangsta, "G-TV" should be on your wishlist.
