Review of Rock the Bells (2006) by Alex F — 11 Mar 2009
This is a really good doc, the only problem is it should be two. One should be about the first Rock the Bells and the second should be about the problems dealing with reuniting the Wu-Tang Clan. The first part, Rock the Bells, is intense, it shows us the booking of the show, the setting up, as well as the openers.
Sage Francis, while not a favorite of mine, is entertaining, getting the fans angry enough to throw bottles at him. But it seems as if the Wu-Tang go in and out, they talk about being booked, then disappear while Redman, Sage, Supernatural, Dilated PEoples and Chali 2na shout them out the whole time.
The stuff about Wu-Tang is intense though, particularly ODB's stuff, as you don't know whether or not to respect him. There's one bit where Chang (the guy who booked the show) is so distraught and stressed he thinks Masta Killa (of Wu-Tang you fools) is someone's bodyguard.
Stuff like that is entertaining. Definitely worth a watch for fans of hip-hop in general, a must see for diehard Wu fans.
