Jan 14, 2021you can learn so much from this.
-
May 08, 2020So well produced and put together, a gripping storyline. For all of those who are fans of hip hop and music in general this is a must.
-
Nov 04, 2019Excellent star appeal, editing and music. Been a Dre fan for 25 years, but still learned a lot. Jimmy Iovine is maybe a more fascinating person... so well done.
-
Oct 08, 2018I think this is the best doc. iv ever seen
-
Jul 16, 2018Good interviews from both Dre and Iovine who open up a lot more than they have in the past about their lives.
-
May 19, 2018great documentary, well ressourced!
-
May 06, 2018Very interesting, with such a wide array of artists yourbound to be starstruck!
-
Apr 01, 2018Incredible! Highly recommend! So interesting and engaging from start to finish.
-
Mar 23, 2018a gripping and incredible story put together perfectly by hbo. if you've seen "straight out of compton" though, the first two and a half episodes will basically just be repeating what the film told. Not a major issue, i still sat through it but what made the documentary so amazing was the last episode where everything came together for jimmy & dre.
-
Feb 26, 2018If for nothing else, watch this for Snoop Dogg's impression of Jimmy Iovine. Also, Dr. Dre and Bruce Springsteen are apparently the same people in two completely different genres.
