The Best Album/Mixtape Documentaries

[Redwing80]

Anybody got any good documentaries on "the making of" good albums/mixtapes?

For example

i was just disappointed that they kind of stopped without going through the whole album. they just finish at Memory Lane i think. did they even do One Love? i've only watched it once

The whole documentary was about shyt everybody already knows. I didn't learn anything from watching it but I'm studying docs with that similar format

Most documentaries/biopics are like that unfortunately. They typically make them like the "_________ for Dummies" books

not much you can do about that. when something or someone gets to the point where you want to make a biopic or documentary about them or about something specific like an album that's been out for 20 years then most people are going to know 90% of the info. especially in this day & age, there have been magazine articles, books, videos and interviews about Illmatic for the last 20 years so there's not much that has stayed a secret. the only extra thing would have been seeing footage of the studio time or seeing Large Pro making a beat or something.

I'm not even looking for anything spectacular... I just wanted a good visual about an album. But yeah, you're right but the Jay Z doc above was a good example. That one taught me a lot

 

[Jimmy the gent]

the making of the Marshall Mathers LP was aiight!
also think they did a DMX One (Dark And Hell Is Hot)

Most people who claim to be an Artist (of some sort) aren't really an Artiest foreal. They lack imagine, creativity, and knowledge and it shows in the work.

Because really, they do be lookin like long ass infomercials about the really obvious. One by one it's an assembly shop of the same shyt comin out

I like alot of them but alotta tha time I don't learn shyt either.

It wasn't bad but I hear what you sayin
