Anyone Peep the JMT DVD?

Divine Fire I think it's called. Dropped a minute ago, but anyone who seen it? If so, how much Stoupe time was on there?

Also, if anyone happens to have a link to Divine Fire being streamed, pass it this way.

Peace.

I reviewed it on Amazon.

The dvd really doesnt go in to that much detail about things you would really hope for, Stoupe is hardly spoken about, Jus Allah plays a very small part, and the beef with him is pretty much glossed over. Also I know personally I was hoping for more of a breakdown of the albums, maybe some talking about what thoughts went in to the creation of certain tracks, or what it was like to work with some of the artist they had on the guest features, very little of that is spoken on which is what I wanted the most out of it.

Their first 5 albums are all covered though, usually its just quick bits of info on what Paz was thinking at the time and what was going on in his life, other then that not much is touched on. The other half of the dvd is of JMT touring with the Rock the Bell concert. We get to see Paz drink countless bottles of beer, steal an Indian statue, watch Nas perform, and just have fun with his people, its very entertaining actually and kept me from getting bored.

Lastly there's a bonus cd that comes with 5 tracks that Paz himself picked out to represent the JMT legacy. As for my score, you may be wondering why I gave it a 4 when ive had so much negative stuff to say, well to be honest im not that big a JMT fan, I like their music ok enough but im what you would consider a "casual fan", the main thing keeping me from loving the group was my strong dislike of Paz, but by the end of this dvd I felt like I really got to know the man behind the mic. After listening to Paz speak, and watching him enjoy himself and be human...I actually connected with him as a person, the man I had originally thought of as an ignorant "hardcore" rapper turned out to be the guy who kisses his mom before he leaves to tour, a guy who just hangs out with his friends and plays video games, just another average guy who loves hip hop.

I walked away with a lot from this DVD, I copped it for $13 for Best Buy and its money well spent in my opinion, its made me a bigger fan of JMT then ive ever been and introduced me to a lot of facts that I may have never known. Also the extra's are great, lots of goodies for fans. I would def recommend fans and casual fans alike giving this at least one spin in the ol dvd player, you might be surprised to see how your feelings for the group change by the end.
