Rap's most notorious Carters, Sean "Jay-Z" Carter and Dwayne "Lil' Wayne" Carter share more than a last name. They are both presidents of their respective kingdoms, Jay/Def Jam and Weezy/Cash Money. But the two are, more importantly, the two kings of their domain. Considered two of the best rappers alive, period, Jay is the undisputed King of New York, while nobody holds more weight in the South than New Orleans' own.
So just like that, you know what this is about. Holding the two main features on this DVD, Jay-Z embraces the streets while Weezy F. pops up on his first NYC street DVD in... (as long as we can remember). Because you already know these are MAD exclusive, the Jay-Z interview is crazy, speaking on Kingdom Come's leak, his initial disappointment and where he stands on it now. Birdman Junior speaks on none other than his controversial PDAs with Baby, breaking it down before leaving it at he don't give a fuck what you think. And guess what? He probably doesn't.
€ Jay-Z: Stopping by for Hova's first (and only?) street DVD interview, The Come Up finds out how Jay-Z felt about his album leaking (unsure if he should believe it at first, he had his man bring him his own album to confirm) and Jim Jones taking shots at him (on the first diss with Dame Dash). And what Jay-Z interview would be complete without talking about his collaboration with Nas? Not this one...
€ Lil' Wayne: Not afraid to ask any question, The Come Up sits down with Wayne for 40 minutes (only 14 of which you'll see...the rest will be on a later DVD!) and goes straight at him: what's with the kissing between him and Baby? Wayne fears no question either, opening up and letting you know what it is and why they do it. More importantly, Wayne speaks on the entire Cash Money history, including the departures of their rap brothers B.G & Juvenile.
€ Papoose: Standing in front of the Gino Green office (they're G's, not 9's!), the lyrical Streetsweeper breaks his Come Up silence (he's been partial to Kay Slay's street DVDs in the past...) and addresses his forthcoming debut The Nacirema Dream.
€ G-Unit: Also breaking their streak with The Come Up, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo are coralled backstage in Washington D.C., talking about making their Come Up debut before tearing down the President's city with a rowdy performance of Banks' single "Cake."
€ Also featuring an exclusive Mobb Deep interview, an exclusive trailor of the silver screen jumpoff of The Come Up's movie venture (starring The Wire's Omar and the L.A. Lakers' Lamar Odom), Ms. New York from Flavor Flav's "Flavor Of Love" TV show, and much more.
€ ON THE NEXT COME UP: Fendi rides around the 'A' with Young Jeezy as The Snowman takes The Come Up's creator to his hood for a little trap special. 50 Cent also grabs the spotlight, taking about his upcoming album from...where else?...the studio. Grind 101.
