"Beef 3" Review, 16 Nov 2005
By Crazy Jim - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beef 3 [DVD] [2005] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
The third installment in QD3's "Beef" series chronicles some of hip-hop's most intriguing feuds. Unlike prior installments, this one centers mostly on beefs from the past two years. Featured here are 50 Cent vs. The Game, Nelly vs. Chingy, Lil' Flip vs. T.I., Game vs. Yukmouth, Twista vs. Bone Thugs & Harmony, and 50 Cent vs. Bang 'Em Smurf. While fans of the first two will no doubt rush out to pick this one up, they should be warned that this edition seems far more rushed and less detailed than its predecessors. Narrator DJ Kayslay who should be a perfect choice, given his moniker as the "Drama King" is far too energetic for his position. Most of the artists involved are relatively new to the game and don't really offer much of the "mature advice" that veterans like KRS-One and Ice-T showcased in earlier installments. The closest thing to an "old school" perspective is an intoxicated and cliché-heavy speech from Jim Jones in the DVD's "special features" section. The segments involving 50 Cent (versus Game, Bang 'Em) have no comments from him or anyone on G-Unit other than radio clips and as such come off as one-sided, though the Bang 'Em segment features an insightful explanation of their falling out from Smurf's comrade, Domination. Aside from concluding footage of the "West Coast Peace Summit", the program really doesn't do much to show closure on any of these feuds and even the ones that are announced as being "squashed" still feature less-than-kind post-match interviews from the participants. Given that they had access to such a groundbreaking event, it might have been cool for them to have included such feuds as Snoop Dogg vs. Death Row and Daz vs. Kurupt. All in all, it's a decent DVD but easily the weakest entry in the series.

Like the first reviewer said this one seems alot more rushed than the other 2. The T.I. VS Lil' Flip part was probably the best one as it actually had both people's sides of the story. The "50/ Bang Em' Smurf ; Game" parts don't show 50's side at all also the 50 VS Game part is out-of-date since they said they had sqaushed it when they're still beefing now. And then there's Lil' Scrappy vs The Cops?!.... Come on that's not even a beef. Twista VS Bone Thugs (they had beef?) was kinda boring. Although DJ Kay Slay is a pretty good narrator I liked the other guy alot better. The extras are pretty nice especailly footage from Game's infamous performance at Summer Jam.

This is probably my least favorite of the beefs. Most of it is about todays rappers go at it. You see T.I vs Lil flip, Game vs. 50 cent, and more. Most of the beefs though do get squashed well except for game and 50 we all know that still going on. It's pretty interesting but not like the first beef. Even the second one had some pretty good beefs. The one I don't get is why would they put lil scrappy vs the police. Man almost every rapper is against the police thats not a beef. Anyway a pretty good dvd but not worth to buy.
