    The picture repeats itself a lot, but Dash is a good sport in poking barbed fun at the PR machinations of today's music business. Read full review

    An amiably raucous, scorched-earth mockumentary. Read full review

    Well shot and edited, Death of a Dynasty is hardly a comedy classic, but it's frequently on target. Read full review

    There are some funny moments and amusing cameos, but it's not enough to elevate this project's slapdash approach. Read full review

    Dynasty is less interesting as a film than as a winking gloss on hip-hop's assembly line of beats, beefs, and B-list lyricists.

    Variety | David Rooney

    The execution is so amateurish and the script so witless the filmmakers appear to be having a far better time than the audience. Read full review

    New York Post | Lou Lumenick

    A mockumentary that veers unsteadily between satire and an infomercial for Dash's Roc-A-Fella records. Read full review
