I thought it was a waste of my money.....Don't get me wrong....There were artist I like that don't get much exposure but who ever filmed it don't know shit about sound and editing.....Everytime I looked up I found myself adjusting the volume cuz the sound would get louder then lower....That was extremly annoying.....And they spent way too much time on the interviews w/o it being any type of editing.....Just my 2 cents
niggas aint movie directors and editors and some mo shit..matter fact i hated adjusting my tv too....but the point of the video was to give people a bar of what was going on...and the staff worked with the resources it had at the time to get it out...i dont think mic loc was trying to win the sundance festival...it did its job for the people who werent in the know...
if anyone wants to spend they time editing and mixing holla
im not sayin ill get you paid but ill see what or whom i can talk to
you learn as you go along..these were regular folks holding a camera that made it happen not photographers with knowledge of directing or how to shoot video cams....and with that knocked out... niggas learned the mistakes and how to step it up from there
at this point avenues are opened up that werent opened up before the filming...i would expect the next one to be alot better. better cameras better filming better footage and all...san diego has changed and flourished since and almost every rapper on rap or die has put out an album, got out of jail...or went to jail.

I did have some volume issues as well but I felt the content of the DVD made up 4 it. I also thought at times the interviews could have been edited better but that made the DVD that much more raw/treal. This DVD is definitely a step in the right direction as far as becomin' a quality SD rap DVD (in general 4 that matter). Lookin' 4ward 2 part 2.
i think the dvd makes more sense when you step back and look at it from a third person view. like even the sound issues and the rawness and ack of editing lets you know its a city on the grind to make it happen....i remember me los junk and sync went to videotape lil cs, mooch massive and macvillin and they did this song in like two takes while we were filming, that ended up being on that mob kingz album, so it was like a lil piece in time if you get me if you fast forward it to rap or die to say it has hella great editing or what not right? niggas are gonna say the first one was the tightest cuz it was raw and yada yada...or cuz its rare and hard to find...sometimes and i think the rap or die crew prolly learned this shit you jsut gotta make it happen and not go back and forth over what is or isnt a good move..
it came out, niggas seen it, niggas heard of people on the dvd..imagine you being on that dvd freestyling and people hitting you up about your shit like 'yeah i seen you on rap or die that was tight blah blah'..that might make you wanna drop your shit cuz you got a lil exposure to capitalize on.
that was the point, it was a good look for SD and it helped continue spearheading the movement forward, fuck a sound check
but i DO think thats valid
it was crazy how many younger kids had seen the dvd at the time it came out, i got hit up quite a few times

I cant see what anyones trippn off of...it was just a DVD..I personally liked it...I liked the interviews...I like to see unstaged..unrehearsed shit..everyday shit ya know. As GAs Said it accomplished what it set out to do, and as far as quality especially back then.pretty similar to alot of other DVD's people was pushin....
