Still Smokin' is a comprehensive collection of promos from hip- hop's "vatos locos," Cypress Hill, spanning their 10-year, seven-album career. Following a brace of songs recorded live at San Francisco's Fillmore auditorium, this selection settles into a tried and tested formula for half of its running time, using ghetto-real grainy footage of the moody trio stalking inner city streets. "When the Ship Goes Down" branches out into conceptual territory with a three-minute epic concerning internecine gang warfare that breaks up the band's performance. Set in a derelict warehouse, the hardcore romp of "Can't Get the Best of Me" is reminiscent of Fight Club's basement brawls. The set ends with Cypress Hill's most imaginative video to date, the hallucinogenic horror of "Puppet Master." In an American gothic set, guest star Dr. Dre is done up like a Papal Grim Reaper while the gold-painted and prosthetically enhanced B-Real makes like the Devil. --Chris Campion, Amazon.co.uk
Additional features
The DVD's interactive menus feature a startling 3-D rendition of Cypress Hill's skull logo that flies through the screen belching smoke like Bluebeard's ghost. But as it occurs at the selection of every option, it severely slows down the ability to browse quickly through the disc. Chapter access is provided to each of the 27 songs on the disc, which are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound and PCM stereo for the full concussive Cypress Hill experience. Extra features include a 30-minute So You Wanna Be a Superstar TV special in which the band and their fans reflect on their 10-year history. --Chris Campion, Amazon.co.uk

Just too good to say anything. Wordless. Just think a live-version of Hits From The Bong and get to the mood and you're gone with it.
This is what it should be here in Finland ;)
Need more live footage
This dvd is basically comprised of 3 parts: 1) Six songs from the Fillmore show in San Francisco 2) Almost all of Cypress' music videos 3) Superstar documentary/show
Overall, this is a solid dvd that is worth the money. My main beef is the fact that they didn't put the entire Fillmore show on it, b/c the 6 performances are off the hook.
Having most of Cypress' videos is cool, but I don't really watch them too much...especially the last one with Dre.
Finally, the Superstar show is also included. This is basically Cypress' "Behind the Music" put on a dvd. Definitely worth watching.
