Like a 21st century WOODSTOCK, the footage cuts between the performers, backstage banter, the organization of the event and interesting characters. The looseness of the editing lends to the party atmosphere. All the music is really good but I was most pleased with the electrifying Dead Prez. What the film could have used is a little more Chappelle. I had hoped he would be a bit more present, but what we would do see and hear of him is gold, a naturally funny, easy-going and warm-hearted guy.

I really wanted to like this movie, but it was simply boring. Most of it is concert footage and will depend on whether you like the songs and the performances. But outside the concert, the movie was very disapointing - not very funny, not very interesting.

A great concert and some classic Chappelle.

85% Music, 15% Dave
I'd only recommed this for fans of the music, his parts in the movie are very limited, and for the most part, too serious. I wanted to see Dave the comedian, I could care less about Dave the humanitarian.

I like the performances by Common and Mos Def and Talib Kwali, but the movie itself is kinda stupid. I wish he never left Comedy central. I'm Rick James Expletive!!!
