The Show is a 1995 documentary-film that follows the most celebrated artists in hip-hop as they travel from the street to the stage. Considered a "compelling real-life drama about a generation that demands to be heard." The docu-film features artists like Run DMC, Tha Dogg Pound, Dr. Dre, The Notorious B.I.G., Warren G, Craig Mack, Wu-Tang Clan, Naughty By Nature, Slick Rick and many more! Some classic scenes from the documentary include Russell Simmons visiting Slick Rick in lock-up, and discussing his Behind Bars album - specifically the production... and also the scene where Method Man gets into a heated argument with Ghostface and U-God when they talk out the side of their mouths on the tour bus: "Kill that shit, man. Nobody wanna hear that shit!" Meth wasn't trying to hear none of it. Of course, with B.I.G.'s passing at the young age of 24 - and pre-internet - this has some special performance footage of him, as well. Not only was the film a great look at many of these artists, but the official soundtrack was incredible, too. It featured live music from Onyx and Biggie, as well as fresh tracks from Slick Rick, 2Pac, Suga, Method Man, Dr. Dre, Domino, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Mary J. Blige, Treach, Snoop Dogg, Warren G, A Tribe Called Quest, LL Cool J, Kali Ranks, and lots more. Many of them were songs that you heard all summer in '95. Unfortunately, the soundtrack isn't on streaming platforms, so just the documentary is below...
