    Good flick

    I thought this was a very well done documentary. It keeps the viewer interested from start to finish. I even wanted to see more when it was done! The movie explains all of the different relationships and characters involved in Death Row records. It's very interesting to see how some of these guys started out with nothing, and grew into an empire. Im not even a rap fan, but i found it to be a great documentary. Well worth your time.
