INSIDE THE REALITY OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY
Anytime you can get Lyor Cohen (Island Def Jam); Damon Dash (Roc-A-Fella); Mona Scott (Violator Management); Paul Rosenberg (Eminem's manager); Steve Rifkind (Wu-Tang Clan); Kevin Liles (Warner Music Group); and the Godfather of hip-hip, Russell Simmons, to talk candidly about the ins-and-outs of the music business, it's got to be real and it's got to be good! Their interviews (which are conducted by Fat Man Scoop who does a great job of asking thought-provoking questions that keep them all focused) provide a tutorial on the intangible qualities of passion, determination, work ethic, and knowledge that separate the players from the pretenders in the music business. If you are a future music industry executive, entrepreneur, or aspiring record label owner, you owe it to yourself to get this DVD.

Great Interviews
I'm a professor of recording industry and I'm very critical of instructional videos, especially interview-based ones that are often talking heads that are not very informative. This was a pleasant surprise. It moves along at a nice, quick pace. Buy it, launch your career as a recording artist, and make a video this good when you're famous.
