Synopsis
Between 1993 (with the release of Dr. Dre's The Chronic) and 1996 (when 2Pac dropped both All Eyez on Me and The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory), Death Row Records was the most successful label in hip hop, releasing a string of major hits featuring a distinctively laid-back but funky sound that took gangsta rap to the top of the charts. Death Row Uncut collects videos of 28 tunes that Death Row released during their heyday, including "Dre Day" and "Let Me Ride" by Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg, "Gin and Juice," "Who Am I (What's My Name)," and {&"Murder Was the Case" by Snoop Doggy Dogg, "Natural Born Killers" by Dr. Dre and Ice Cube, and "To Live and Die in L.A.," "Hit 'Em Up," and "Dear Mama" by 2Pac. Death Row Uncut features unreleased live performance clips and uncensored versions of some videos that were softened for broadcast; it also includes an interview with label CEO Suge Knight, who has few kind things to say about his former co-workers. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Death Row: Uncut REVIEW
"Death Row: Uncut" had the potentiol to be an amazing collection of classic videos, never-before-seen interviews, and live concert footage. While it does have all of these things, it also spends an annoying and pointless amount of time trying to drag all of its former artsits' names through the mud. Following four unnamed men in a car as they comment on a number of videos, "Uncut" takes what could have been an amazing concept and more or less urinates all over it. Our four narrators comment on every Dre video by informing us that addition to the fact that "Suge made that nigga" that he is in fact, a homsexual. If that isn't enough, they actually hire transvestite actors for a sketch in which they pretend to be Dre's lovers and pull out a certificate stating that the Doctor has been diagnosed with HIV. One of them even goes as far to say that late rapper, Eazy-E "probably got AIDS from him [Dre]". Pretty tasteless. The group also has some less than flattering things to say about Snoop Dogg, DJ Quik, and Nate Dogg to name a few. They also give detailed directions to the homes of Dre, Snoop, and Jimmy Iovine. The footage of Tupac Shakur is probably worth the price of admission on its own. You get a lot of his best videos plus some great concert footage and some behind-the-scenes stuff of him on the set of two videos, "Made Niggaz" and "Toss It Up". Another important thing to mention is that despite its title, all of the videos are not shown in their full time frame. Some of them, like Tha Dogg Pound's "New York, New York", are cut short less than a minute into them and a few of the videos advertised on the package aren't even in it. If only they had taken less time trying to bring down the careers of people who helped make their label what it is today, they might have room to show the full videos. All in all, this should be a worthwhile purchase for any past or present Death Row fan though all of the time dedicated to showing their bitter side is unneccesarry.

TOO GANGSTA FOE T.V.
This review is gonna be a LOT like the others, but what do you expect? It's a DVD executively produced by Marion "Suge" Knight! Although it doesn't fully fufill it's promises, "Death Row Uncut" is not a bad DVD. It's right to boast of live performances, as may have seen it has 2Pac performing at Club 662 in Las Vegas and him, Snoop and Tha Dogg Pound (not altogether) at The House Of Blues. There's also 2Pac & Suge on the beach behind the scenes for "Toss It Up". 'Pac also performs "California Love" & Dear Mama" live. And DJ Quik performs the MC Eiht diss, "Dollars and Sense". A few things that I'm bitter about is that throughout the video, four Suge-paid haters drive around (with no place to go, being told by Suge) to remember Death Row from Suge's point of view. The problem with that is obviously Suge is still jealous of having two of Death Row's best artists leave. It's wierd because the four haters diss them throughout the whole video and at the same time, they play their videos. He also includes the home addresses to Dr. Dre's & Snoop Dogg's home addresses. Also, the four haters go on an escapade trying to find a tranvestite that Dre "had sex with". The video also says the music videos are uncut. Truth is, all of them are not. Some of them are, but other favorites like "Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang" & "Gin and Juice" aren't, which is odd. A lot of them get cut off too. Tha Dogg Pound's "NY, NY" gets cut off before the first verse ends. "To Live And Die In L.A." also gets cut off before the second verse. So, the video has its fair share of problems, (again, it's Death Row product, so you can't blame 'em), but there is some good [stuff] here.

Should Not Be Sold
This DVD should not be sold. First of all, all of the videos advertised on the DVD package are not there. You cannot navigate this DVD like a normal DVD. On top of that, videos and songs are cut so short you can't enjoy them, case in point, the video for "Regulate" cuts off before the end of the video and Rage's live performance of "Afro Puffs" is cut short. What irks me the most is some of the promised videos just aren't there dude. This is plain old false advertsing. Maybe they are there and I just couldn't find them because I have never seen a DVD in my life where scenes repeat-I am not lying, you watch a video and a life performance in one point of the DVD and then it starts over to the same live Dogg Pound performance. There is some rare snoop video footage that I enjoyed, and the adult version of "How Do You Want It," but other than that this DVD is just plain terrible.
