This documentary raucous hard Knock Life Tour 1999 - featuring Jay-Z, DMX, Method Man, Redman, and other rappers - is chaotic and confusing, but it seems entirely appropriate. Life on tour is notoriously difficult, and this tour (which is a lot of high profile artists and support staff) proves no exception. Surprisingly, the egos of the performers seem reasonably under control, driving the engine, the entire event is Roc-A-Fella Records CEO Damon Dash, who Rants to great effect - together with a sequence fun, as someone tries unsuccessfully to shave Dash away, Dash vents at length about how everyone is wearing jackets known as Def Jam instead of Roc-A-Fella. Pictures of naked backstage groupies, drugs, domestic disputes, and hardly a sentence that is wrong is filled with obscenities or epithets, but the rappers come across as a surprisingly brilliant, very friendly, just have fun.
Jay-Z is particularly charming, but rapper Beanie Sigel is the strongest comments as he describes the treatment of a demo tape to the plate. Strangely, the filming of the concert is only through passages, although certainly communicates the flavor seems. Backstage is unlikely to say anything not already known or suspected touring life or rap music, but describes the experience vividly. - Bret Fetzer
