JOE PRO THE SHAKE OFF, WHERE DEM DOLLARS AT, & BOOTY FEST 2 www.tapemaninc.com It’s all in the name. Joe Pro seems to have the right formula for making bachelor party DVDs. A good DVD contains the following ingredients: beautiful strippers, porn clips, private strippers, and clips of dancers from America’s hottest strip clubs (Atlanta, D.C., Miami, New York, Virginia, Philly, and South Carolina). All of Joe Pro’s DVDs contain clips from all the yearly events which draw scantily clad women, like Daytona’s Black College Reunion and Myrtle Beach’s Bike Week. Shake Off is loaded with lots of big round asses, and a lot of booty-shaking and ass-clapping. This DVD is a must-have for any aspiring stripper. It could definitely be an instructional DVD on how to make your ass clap. The only thing missing on this DVD is Sean Paul and Busta Rhymes’ singing “Make It Clap.”
This DVD is not Hoes Gone Wild, it is ‘Porn Clips’ Gone Wild, with lots of lackluster replays of the same scenes over and over again. Twenty minutes into this two-hour feature, the overlays and replays make you want to turn it off and play a video game instead. The entire DVD is basically clips from other movies, and the clips aren’t that great. The only thing that saves this DVD is the music. It’s a good listen, suited for bachelor parties.
DYNAMIC AUDIO & VIDEO DYNAMIC BOOTY VOL. 4
NEW ORLEANS EXPOSED www.noexposed.com
How would you like to have your favorite music and porn playing at the same time? Dynamic Audio & Video have combined the best of both worlds: You can listen to sexy music while watching porn. If you like big round asses, you’ll love the eight featured scenes on this DVD. Jada, a new black porn star, looks like she stepped right out of an Uncut video. Jada is teamed with porn star Justin Slayer. If this was the only scene on the whole DVD, you wouldn’t be disappointed. Jada gives Justin the ride of his life. This scene is so steamy that they’re both left wiping the sweat off their bodies.
When people travel, they choose their destination for different purposes. Some travel for the beauty of the city, the architecture of ancient buildings, or the history of the city. Most people know the histories of the cities they visit, but some don’t. I recently visited New Orleans in all its splendor. I visited the famous Bourbon Street and stayed in an aging hotel. The only thing I really knew about New Orleans was that it was one of the first places in America where slaves were dropped off straight from Africa. New Orleans is the home of exotic foods, Mardi Gras, the Essence Festival, Cash Money Millionaires, and Master P and the No Limit Soldiers. I also knew that back in 1994, it was the murder capital of America. I didn’t know that New Orleans is listed in the top 10 of the worst school systems in the country. I didn’t know that New Orleans has a convention every single day of the year. We all have a perception of New Orleans, but this DVD paints a totally different picture. Featuring in-depth interviews with Juvenile, the late Soulja Slim, 5th Ward Weeby, B.G., and many others, this DVD takes you on an educational journey through life in the projects by people who grew up (and still live in) New Orleans. There’s a lot of information packed into this DVD, so I watched it several times to give an accurate review..
Finally, after rewinding and rewinding the previous DVDs, I got a chance to look at Booty Fest 2. The only problem with this DVD is that I didn’t get the chance to see Volume 1. If it has as much booty as Volume 2, I need to check it out. Booty Fest 2 is loaded with clear scenes and great images. The clarity on Joe Pro’s DVDs is worth the purchase.
Some of the hot songs on this DVD include Gucci Mane & Young Jeezy’s “Icy,” Bobby Valentino’s “Slow Down,” some R&B from Usher & R Kelly, and plenty of crunk songs from the Ying Yang Twins, Lil Jon & the Eastside Boyz, and Pastor Troy. The hottest tune on the DVD is by the host, Mykel Myers, who hails from Jacksonville. His collabo with Young Jeezy is a club and radio-friendly joint. Mykel has a distinctive voice that can’t really be compared to anyone else. He takes you on a thugged-out, gangsta ride through the hardcore realities of life and hustling.
The music on this DVD is mostly R&B, ranging from slow to uptempo. You don’t have to be watching this DVD to enjoy it; it can be played simply for the music. In the scenes with Latin actresses, reggaetone is added to spice up the mix. It’s amazing how the music matches the sex. Everything is right on time. For instance, in one scene, while “Saltshaker” is playing, the video is sped up to match the strokes and the beat. The unique thing about this porn DVD is that you don’t hear the moaning and grunting, all you hear is the music provided by Dynamic Audio. The music also sets the mood for when you and your partner start experimenting with what you just saw.
This documentary shows what it’s like to grow up in New Orleans. Their school system is ranked nearly last place in the nation, just in front of Mississippi. New Orleans has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country. The DVD also shows New Orleans’ untapped talent and contains touching footage celebrating fallen hero Soulja Slim. This DVD shows the harsh realities of life in New Orleans; it would be a good candidate for CNN, HBO, or BET.

Where Dem Dollars At is mostly taped at different strip clubs, with lots of nudity and pole-dancing. Any strip club connoisseur understands that pole-dancing is an art form, which takes lots of energy and stamina when done right. On this DVD, it is done right.

Before viewing this DVD, I had mixed feelings about New Orleans. Whenever I visit again, I’ll have a better understanding and greater respect for their culture. I was born on an island, and through this DVD I’ve realized that New Orleans natives and West Indians have much in common (a laid-back lifestyle, a love for music, and nature’s wrath: hurricanes, floodings, rainstorms, mosquitoes, and unbearable heat).
