The Up In Smoke Tour in 2000 stands as the most influential roadshow in hip-hop history. It brought West Coast G-funk and hardcore rap into mainstream American arenas on an unprecedented scale.

In 2014, the Up In Smoke Tour 2000 was immortalized in a live album and DVD, featuring footage from the tour's performances and behind-the-scenes interviews with the artists. The release was a testament to the tour's enduring popularity and its continued influence on hip-hop culture.

The brilliance of the tour lay in its collective chemistry. Rather than keeping artists in isolated silos, the show functioned as a fluid, continuous narrative.

Midway through the set, a real 1964 Chevrolet Impala (a lowrider) descended from the ceiling, bouncing on hydraulics while Snoop Dogg rapped "Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang." It was spectacle, theater, and raw hip-hop rolled into one.

: The show started with brief, high-octane sets from TQ , Snoop's proteges Tha Eastsidaz , and G-funk pioneer Warren G .

Coming off the immense success of The Slim Shady LP and promoting the soon-to-be-released The Marshall Mathers LP , Eminem was the explosive, chaotic energy that captivated the audience.

For those who missed it, the Up in Smoke Tour DVD became a holy relic. Filmed in high quality, it allowed fans worldwide to see the chemistry between Dre, Snoop, and Em. Watching the "med" sessions on the tour bus (where legends freestyled for hours) became required viewing for aspiring rappers.
