What a glamorous life
all those musicians live. They hang out backstage, party
all the time, get groupies, free beer in the dressing
room and all that good stuff. That's the stereotype.
But in real life, it usually is less magical, as the
artists are often busy enough doing something, prepare
for the show, do interviews, or fight for the last bottle
of Henny. Most of the time they are tired because of
the travelling or they are simply not there, due to
them being a) in the hotel, b) still in another city,
c) not even their manager knows, d) somewhere passed
out, e) behind a door showing the 'do not disturbed'
sign, or f) don't ask. It's a hard life, but someone
gots to live it.

Then again, there's
Tha Liks. And with this DVD you get the chance to hang
with 'em, and the 72 minutes prove everything that has
just be said wrong. Cause these cats know how to combined
the three b's (bitches, brew and blunts) into one big
hoopla. And they party wherever they are, be it in a
tour bus, with some willing groupies, be it in front
of their own billboard on Sunset, be it on a photo shoot,
or be it just driving around. And that's just a few
places where we are taken: we also get to visit J-Ro's
grandma, we check out them practicing for their stage
performances, and most prominently, we are treated to
footage of shows, where there's more bitches, more brew
and more blunts combined into an even bigger hoopla.

So that's what we get,
but how is it done? Great. Why? Because Tha Liks are
not taking themselves too serious, hence when the situation
gets too tense, you can get a Tash smacking J-Ro, or
the latter making fun of their manager. Or you get the
Tash directed no-budget video of "Anotha Round", after
we checked out how the Loud-budget "Best U Can" video
was shot. You get the Likwit cats dropping by to kick
freestyles, drop by some recording session and record
stores, and you can look Xzibit over the shoulder when
he writes his rhymes. And the commentary option is even
more than hilarious, as you can watch the whole film
again, with Tha Liks commenting what's happening on
the screen.

So if you are Tha Liks,
then the life of a musician is glamorous, you hang out
in the backstage area, you can get chicks to show their
boobs on stage (maybe even grab one or two), and all
that good stuff. It's a hard life, but someone gots
to live it.
