Bob Marley - Rebel Music

“Rebel Music tells the fascinating and heart-wrenching story of legendary reggae superstar Bob Marley, his extraordinary life and revolutionary music. He was a gifted musician, an inspired poet, and a prophet of peace who fervently decried the injustices of all people by remaining true to his roots and devoting himself to spreading the gospel of Rastafari. “The most influential artist of the second half of the 20th century” - The New York Times.”

Public Enemy - Live from House of Blues (2001)


In a fast-moving 85 minutes, Public Enemy tears through their extensive repertoire, from first single “Public Enemy #1,” to “Do You Wanna Go Our Way???” The raucous concert was filmed in 1999 before a packed house at L.A.’s House of Blues. Chuck D. is in fine form, bouncing around the stage, rapping with conviction, and working the crowd into a frenzy whenever he senses the energy starting to flag. Flavor Flav, oversized clock necklace in place, backs him up on several numbers, raps solo on a few others, and changes headgear throughout the show, from a Vikings helmet to a baseball cap shaped like a slice of cheese (as Chuck has noted, “If Public Enemy is the steak, Flavor Flav is the A-1 sauce”). The lineup is rounded out by rapper-dancer Professor Griff, who had returned to the fold by this time, and DJ Lord, taking over from Terminator X.

Ice-T & SMG - Repossession Live (2002)


Repossession Live is a lively 95-minute show featuring Ice-T and his crew, SMG (Sex Money & Gunz). Filmed at B.B. King’s Blues Club in New York, the release is aimed more at the hardcore fan than the casual observer. As Ice has progressed as an actor–leading to a role on the top-rated Law and Order: Special Victims Unit–his skills as a rapper have stagnated to some extent, and the best material stems from his creative peak in the late 1980s and early 1990s (”You Played Yourself,” “New Jack Hustler”). Still, he’s as fired up as ever, stomping across the stage, spraying the crowd with water, quizzing them on hip-hop history, and giving props to longtime DJ Evil-E and special guest, Public Enemy’s Flavor Flav. The unstoppable Iceman has never been afraid of profanity or special interest groups, and Repossession Live is no different from earlier efforts in that respect.
