BEEF, the film that takes a definitive look into the deep and harsh world of high profile rap music “beefs,” will have its world premiere at the 7TH Annual Urbanworld Film Festival in New York City, September 17-21. The film will be screened at the Loews 34th street Theatre, 312 West 34th Street (between 8th and 9th Avenue) on Thursday, September 18th, 4:30 PM and at the Magic Johnson Theatre Harlem, 2309 Frederick Douglas Blvd. (at 125th Street) on Saturday, September 20th, 5:15 PM.


BEEF is the third in a 12 program series by QD3 Entertainment and Image Entertainment (which will release BEEF on DVD and videocassette on September 30th) following the Tupac Shakur biopic Thug Angel and The Freshest Kids, on the history of breakdancing. This latest gripping documentary, executive produced by Quincy D. (QD3) Jones III, directed by Peter Spirer (Rhyme and Reason, Thug Angel, Modern Warriors) and produced by Casey Suchan (Thug Angel, The Freshest Kids) explores the simmering street energy of Hip Hop as it plays out on was and spills over from the studio into the neighborhoods of urban America. Rappers talk frankly about street life, how they got into the game, their favorite battles and current “beefs” in exclusive interviews, rare archival footage and never-before-seen performances featuring 50 Cent, DMX, Ja Rule, Mobb Deep, Dr. Dre, Common, Cypress Hill, Snoop Dogg, Tupac, MC Shan, Busy Bee, KRS-ONE, Kool Moe Dee and others.


The film chronicles early MC battles including KRS ONE vs. MC Shan, breaks down the break-up of NWA, follows the rivalry between the East Coast and the West Coast that led to the murders of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G., reveals underground disputes between rap crews and uncovers the dark realities behind today’s beef between multi-platinum selling artists Ja Rule and 50 Cent.
