Get your beach gear ready, ladies and gentlemen! We’re heading to sunny Miami for this DVD review triple feature! Nothing’s hotter than the Florida sun and hip-hop, and we get a triple threat treat from Slip-N-Slide Records! The weather may be getting ugly in Florida right now, but these three DVDs may help die hard hip-hop fans weather the storm and remind them of warmer days.
Setting off the triple play matinee is “Slip-N-Slide Records Memorial Day Weekend”. Originally shot in 2001, the video features Trick Daddy, Trina, and the Slip-N-Slide camp running through Miami during the spring party season. The DVD is uncensored so you know its raw! Definitely not for the timid. Fans of Trina get to see her nice and up-close, cursing out the police, and rocking the stage! The Baddest Bitch is also seen filming her video and performing.
Trick narrates the DVD while getting his hair braided. He tells us why Trina was the baddest bitch since waaay back, as they cut back and forth to concert performances of “Nann” that has to been seen! The DVD also features Tre-6, Duece Poppi aka The Black Richard Nixon, Funk Boogie, behind the scene footage of “I’m A Thug” video, a celebrity basketball game, and exclusive footage from club Rollexx. (You need a wide screen for this!) The boys hit the famous strip club and it’s all on film! The girls dance in a boxing ring, Trick gets lap dances, and it’s back to the lab as the DVD ends.
Next up is “Slip-N-Slide presents Trick Daddy Uncut”. We go backstage with Trick Daddy and get a closer look at his life. CO and Money Mark host the flick from their couch. After they prep you on the MIA lingo, the story begins. We see Trick at work in his Tee Double D Studios, and follow him to the club after that to catch a performance. In the middle of the DVD we get a short clip of some bikers getting busy at “Area 51”. The Anaconda has the ill snake skin bike smoking down the empty lot, working the 12 o’clock bar on the back. Not sure why it's here, but it's nice footage regardless.
Next the guys go the extra mile and film the Slip and Slide caper. Once the ice is restocked, the show continues with Trick Daddy taking it to the house onstage. After the DJ loses a bet, we hit 99 Jamz in Miami with Trick for an interview. From there it’s on to an underground radio station for more interviews. After a hard day of work, we head back to Club Rollexx for a night cap. Next up is a behind the scene look at the filming of the “In The Wind” video. Cee-Lo, Big Boi, Slim Calhoun, Jazzy Pha and Big Gipp are featured in the shots. The story ends well as TDD finds the evil bootlegger and saves the day.
