Life After Death - The Movie (trailer)

I might be late on this but I just copped this DVD, Life After Death - The Movie from my PO Box this past weekend. I have issues with some claims in this documentary (produced by Lil' Kim and Junior M.A.F.I.A. manager D-Roc and narrated by The Wire's Jamie Hector) such as '99 was the 'Golden Age' of hip hop but Biggie and Lil' Kim Stans should probably check this anyway for the 'behind-the-scenes,' 'like you were there' point of view to the story of how Big Poppa's crew fared in the 10 years following his untimely demise.

Life After Death - The Movie is probably worth it just to see footage of Karrine 'Superhead' Steffans showing her true colors and literally getting tossed in a garbage can by (I think) Lil' Cease and while, the production values are just slightly above 'Hood DVD' quality, Roc has some exclusives like footage from the surveillance tapes of the infamous Hot 97 shoot out between Kim's camp and C.N.N. who were riding with Foxy Brown at the time. He also does a good editing job showing the building tension between these two female rappers as they beefed, first on wax and then unfortunately beyond that, and also makes a pretty devastating case for why Cease and fellow M.A.F.I.A. member Banger were disloyal to him and Kim during the trial that resulted from the shooting by time he wraps up his tale.

Some music to enjoy while you BBQ this July 4...

Video for Ciara feat. 50 Cent "Can't Leave Em Alone":

Online: Website | MySpace | BUY the Evolution album featuring "Can't Leave Em Alone" here

And more 50 cent "I Get Money" - will the fourth time be the charm for F50?? (via Eskay)

Keyshia Cole feat. Missy Eliot & Lil Kim "Let it Go" - I know... this has been around for a minute now and it's yet another jack of "Juicy Fruit" but it's starting to get some traction at radio and I LOVE it so f-ck it. (zshare mp3 link via Google Search)

And finally, video clip for Sean Kingston's "Beautiful Girls" - featuring a cameo by my girl Lil Mama (watch carefully).

Me personally, I don't really celebrate July 4th - I subscribe to the PE view of this 'holiday' although you might catch me at the BAM in BK for the Afro-Punk festival paying tribute to the Black Panthers.

Labels: 50 cent, Ciara, Keyshia Cole, Lil Mama, Lil' Kim, Missy Elliott, Sean Kingston
