HIP-HOP AT THE TOP!
By GARRY MCCAFFERTY from Scotland , 27 Oct 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
Being a fan of Chappelle I rented this thinking it was a film version of his TV show, I was wrong. Instead what I found was a musical docu-film kinda thing. I was surprised to find the film highly entertaining even though it was a hip-hop gig and I can't say I'm the biggest fan, but as a music lover it was excellent, especially the performances in the second half of the film.
So, if you’re a hip-hop fan - Rent this! If you’re a live concert fan - Rent this! , But if your looking for a Comedy - Don't Bother!- Was this review helpful to you?

NOT a poor cousin to Rize
By Dilac (1 review) from Swansea , 24 Oct 2011This is a fantastic heartwarming documentary about a celebrity who wants to put something back into a community.
It was not by David LaChapelle the photographer who did 'Rize' (which is also a brilliant doc) It is David Chapelle the comedian who has a love of Hip Hop and great music. Hip Hop as a culture has been raped over the last 10 years and documentaries like these are invaluable to keep the true meaning of it alive.- Was this review helpful to you?

fun, fun, fun
By rpopper65 (151 reviews) from London , 24 Jul 2009great film for fans of Dave Chapelle before he went AWOL. A great, funny, spontaneous, heart-felt event that Dave put together. It had the feel of being, basically, the most star-studded block part anyone could have dreamed up.- Was this review helpful to you?

Poor cousin to Rize
By a customer from London , 13 Feb 2009Was really impressed with Rize, Chappelle's other documentary - it had a message and was cool and involving. Block party doesn't really seem to be other than a lazily shot diary of how he organises what looks to be a pretty poor block party. There are no good sequences of the acts which was disappointing considering the big names that attended.- Was this review helpful to you?
