The Russell Simmons Def Poetry series is probably one of the best DVD purchases I have ever made.. Why? Simple. When you play a movie a few times you get know the plot and after a while you begin saying lines from the movie out loud. Now with Def Poetry, the poets will ab-so-lute-ly knock your socks off! ..and you can watch it again and again but I doubt you could memorize all the poems and repeat them at your next cocktail party. After the first view you will probably find yourself wanting to share this DVD with a friend. I own 5 Def poetry seasons and never get tired of watching them. The spoken word is Pure Brilliance. Buy one and see for yourself.
