5/5
A new hip hop classic
by Derrick Dunn (Woodbridge,VA)
What an absolutely fantastic film is all I can say - and WOW.
This movie is far superior to the Up in Smoke tour DVD which offered very little insight into the real mind-set of the rappers featured there (such as Dre, Snoop and Eminem). Where that movie was content to show the performances BackStage offers the viewers much more.
DMX is allowed time to shine and comes across very well - especially given the controversy that is oft associated with him and his music.
Jay-Z remains quite mysterious throughout and the partnership of Redman/Methodman is not focused on enough - However it is great to see Redman interviewed as he is a truly unrecognised genius within the rap world.
Relatively new rappers such as Memph Bleek, Ja Rule and Beanie Segiel are given time to shine and also come across very well - the scene where an interviewer asks why they like to watch gangster movies on their tour bus is excellent; especially when Good Will Hunting is revealed as their most recent viewing pleasure!!
But this movie really succeeds as a documentary on Damon Dash (charismatic CEO of Roc-a-fella records) who is given plenty of screen time and interviews - This is one man not to be messed with as his vehement dissing of DefJam's attempt to over-shadow Roc-a-fella throughout the tour shows.
All in all an excellent documentary - Highly recommended for fans of both rap and also documentaries as a genre.

This is a great movie that loves behind-the-scene action. YOu will learn more about some of your favorite artists and see their take on everyday tasks and discussions as human beings, not just as celebrities.
4/5
Good Video
by YoungBuck519 (Ca$hville)
DMX is sick and Meth and Red were awsome too. It was crazy seein Methodman and Redman perform flyin though the sky kickin off their Timbs. Pain in tha ass was some funnt sh*t too doin his Tony Montana Impression Eatin a sandwich. This DVD is worth watchin, peace
4/5
PHAT but could be better.
by (Adelaide, S.A Australia)
They needed to extend the length of this DVD. Despite the title i thought it would have more concert footage. Its fustrating when one of your favourite songs begins and is then cut off, and believe me with the rappers featured on this DVD its rather frequent. DMX is by far the most entertaining because what he says is most interesting and at times relevant. Its good to see how Ja acts in a interview senario. he seems very on point. Method Man and Redman are themselves, entertaing and so high they could kiss tha sky as always. This DVD was a must for my collection beacuse of the all-star cast. If u respect the people mentioned above i recommend u buy this DVD. Definatly blunt somkin material.

This raucous documentary of the 1999 Hard Knock Life Tour--featuring Jay-Z, DMX, Method Man, Redman, and other rappers--is chaotic and confusing, but that seems entirely appropriate. Life on tour is notoriously grueling, and this tour (with such an abundance of high-profile performers and support staff) proves to be no exception. Surprisingly, the egos of the performers seem reasonably under control; the driving motor of the entire event is Roc-A-Fella Records CEO Damon Dash, who rants to great effect--in one entertaining sequence, as someone fruitlessly tries to shave Dash's head, Dash vents at length about how everyone is wearing jackets publicizing Def Jam instead of Roc-A-Fella.
Backstage
depicts naked groupies, drug use, internal squabbles, and hardly a sentence goes by that isn't filled with obscenities or epithets, but the rappers come across as a surprisingly genial, friendly lot just enjoying themselves. Jay-Z is particularly charming, but rapper Beanie Sigel has the sharpest comments to make as he describes the treatment of demo tapes at record labels. Curiously, the concert footage only comes across in snippets, though it certainly communicates the flavor of the show.
Backstage
is unlikely to tell you anything you didn't know or already suspect about the touring life or rap music, but it depicts the experience vividly.
