There are times when the urban dialect is so thick, you wish the film came with subtitles.

People frequently cover the camera lens with their hands or refer to the "documentary" being filmed, as if to assure us that what we're seeing is real.

Backstage isn't as good as the rap documentaries "Rhyme and Reason" and "The Show," but it still casts a keen, observant eye...on this world.

After watching the trailer, this documentary about the world of music seems to be more interesting for rap music listeners who listen to the songs of singers like Jay-Z and DMX. It seems that this film aims to show the audience the truth about the world of music by telling about what goes on behind the backstage.
