War On Wax: Rivalries In Hip Hop

 (3 customer reviews)

My issue with this dvd is that it has some odd moments in the interviews where certain events seem mixed up and confused. I wish that the stories that each person trys to describe were pieced together better. By the way, this documentary is all interviews and no clips or archive footgae from any of the feuds. The beef dvds are by far better constructed and more planned out than war on wax ( I beleive thats why this dvd didn't make a continuation, because there were a lot of feuds that went uncovered). But I have to admit that the DMC interview and DJ Red Alert interview were by far the best of the entire dvd.

I wish there existed a documentary purely on the east vs west coast feuds.

Some of my favorite moments on the DVD happened during this segment, the people discussing this battle were funny `Canibus is fire b". also on the film is KRS-One vs. MC Shan, Kool Moe Dee vs. Busy Bee, Kool Moe Dee vs. LL, Cold...Read more
