The Up in Smoke Tour
They may be every parent's nightmare, but the rap all-stars  that comprise the 2000 Up in Smoke tour (smoke, as in blunts and  chronic--or marijuana, for the uninitiated) are incredibly popular with  a surprising cross-section of young music lovers today.  This two-hour-plus DVD captures most of one concert by the four rappers who joined  together for this tour: Ice Cube, Eminem, Dr. Dre, and Snoop Dogg. If  you aren't a fan of the music, don't expect this to change your mind or  even to help you understand these rappers' appeal. For the devoted,  however, you get heaping doses of four of the hottest acts working, in  a show that includes lavish production values as well as plenty of  backstage footage and photographs as extra features. Given the slice-and-dice editing (no shot, it seems, is allowed to last more than two  seconds), it's hard to get a fix on them or a true picture of what the  show looked like if you happened to be sitting in the audience.--Marshall Fine
