"This has got to be the best in the HOOD documentaries every made. Everything you see on this DVD is REAL and RAW and IN YOUR FACE! You see everything from drugs..to guns...to REAL THUGS in some of the roughest hoods in America.
I can't even describe one scene that stood out because the ENTIRE DVD is RAW and GRITTY!
Pick this up and see this because it's educational, in a way...

"This is a really interesting concept and premise, and yet some of this documentary's potential is squandered due to unimaginitive questions. The narrator asks the same questions to the citizens of each neighborhood. I thought it would be a lot more interesting to hear region specific questions. Also, the music selection is lacking; they could've done region-specific music as well. The participants are generally captivating, and when someone isn't, the scene is relatively short. Still, a very informative look into areas of our 'great' American cities which 70% of our population would never think of setting foot in. I also liked hearing the different dialects of each region. For example, in Chicago, instead of saying "Whassup, mayne", they say "Whattup, Charlie". All in all, good documentary; it just could have been so much better."

"Hood 2 Hood, The Blockumentary is an action packed film that takes you on a tour through America's highest crime rated neighborhoods. Rich Kid Entertainment contacted all the underground hood connections from hoods across the country from California to New York, to the South and Midwest. Their connections opened the doors to their hoods and allowed them to capture the day-to-day actions of life in a crime-infested neighborhoods. Film crews have never had access to footage like this, that includes everything from several pounds of marijuana and kilos of cocaine, fully automatic assault rifles, beatdowns, and thousands in cash earned in drug sales.
They traveled to over 29 different cities and neighborhoods that included the actual neighborhoods of today's top rap artists such as EMINEM (8 MILE), JAY-Z (MARCY PROJECTS), SUGE KNIGHT (ROSE CRANS ST), JUVENILE (MAGNOLIA PROJECTS), NAS (QUEENS BRIDGE PROJECTS) and many more. This film contains exclusive interviews with real gang members, drug dealers, pimps and killers. Viewers be prepared to witness controversial and violent never seen before footage. Hood 2 Hood, The Blockumentary is reality T.V at it's best!!!!!!
