    It was a great watch with nice insight into genius at play. Also good to see an environment where real recognised real.

    Great insight on the story of how those guys and how they became who they are and their success.the Dr Dre parts are i thought the most engaging of both and really interesting, full of old original footage as well as nowdays interviews.the Jimmy one started ok but then he constantly complains about things he decided to do (with the only goal of making more money) which becomes really annoying, complaining about this thing and that thing which he himself chose to do, if you dont like raw fish dont go to a sushi restaurant, if you do go then dont complain about it because you are the one who chose to go, this is exactly what Jimmy does in this documentary so his parts were irritating.

    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?
