Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

thomasjay-52277 Truly magnificent this series is amazing, fantastically well edited and telling an amazing story that's so interesting this series is perfect for those interested in not only rap music but the platform as a whole as it documents the insane stories of some of pop cultures most notable faces and explores their impact, worth a watch

Clifton Johnson This may be the most well-produced documentary I have ever seen. No overstatement. The cinematography is jaw-dropping, and the celebrities involved are staggering. BUT there are downsides too. If you want Jimmy Iovine and Dr Dre and all their buddies to sit down, you might want to portray them positively. Skip the misogyny. Avoid the negative stuff. Basically, this could have been the best doc ever with (a) a little more honesty, (b) some editing. 4 episodes? Had they made this a 2 part 3 hour documentary? WOW. So close...and yet so far.

MisterWhiplash This dual narrative about a Brooklyn pit-bull of a record mogul (Iovine) and one of the most successful rapers-cum-producers-cum-engineers-cum-executives/directors in the game, is the most stylish (and best) episode of Behind the Music ever made, and then some. It's excitingly produced, kinetic, edited so that it's taking the usual taking heads with editing that will often play one head against another (this is extremely helpful due to the business dealings with Iovine and Interscope that could become dense too), and how music flows through this with a rhythm and juxtapositions that cant be touched.I was also very impressed not just by finding out things I didn't know (frankly outside of Iovine with Springsteen on Born to Run I didn't know much about his career at Interscope), but the scope: this isn't only about Dr. Dre but the entire WORLD around him that he got into and loved at times and hated at others (he left Death Row before that imploded, so to speak). It reminds me of digging in to a really strong biography more than a typical doc. Oh, and it's funny at times too (Snoop catches you off guard sometimes).I'm waiting for Primus's doc though..PS: did Dre become the Kubrick of rap?

marccowlin Love, love, love this documentary series. Not only is it a behind the scenes story of some of the world's best music (from Springsteen and Petty to NWA and Eminem), it's the story of an unlikely partnership that evolves and defines the future of the music industry. Even if you are not a fan of hip hop, this series is well worth watching with an open mind - looking towards learning about how art, technology, business and good old American ingenuity changed the world.
