Spesh K has compiled a mix of live performances, radio interviews, behind-the-scenes scenarios and the video for "Manges tes Mots" to create 90209, a solid slice-of-life look at an indie artist's struggles to succeed. Less time could have been spent on the concept behind this project and more on the Classified tour, but Spesh and producer/camera man Chris Companion have picked some great live songs to highlight. Sure, no info is given for any of these songs, or the video, but plenty of info can be found on the bonus CD of all-new tracks masquerading as a "soundtrack" to the DVD. While mostly mellow songs with R&B hooks, "Lets Get High Tonight" and "Test the Dress Code" are the only tracks hype enough to remain in any Spesh K live set. Spesh fans will likely appreciate the CD, the big bonus of this package, but DVD extras also include a photo gallery and a breakdown of the movie by scene. None of it answers my one lingering question though: What's the deal with that one Juggalo and his Supersoaker water cannon?
