"Blowin' Up" Don't Blow
Jamie Kennedy's success in stand-up comedy, TV and movies will have viewers wondering how real the hip-hop career of white-bread Kennedy and Jewish sidekick Stu Stone is in the reality TV show "Blowin' Up." Especially since Kennedy lovingly spoofed a white rapper in Malibu's Most Wanted. After watching an episode or two of the seven-epi season on this set, viewers will learn the music is legitimate, the duo's ambition is strong, and the show is partly fiction and partly fact. The fact that "Blowin' Up" isn't 100% real is a gift to viewers. It's better that the stars be in on the joke, too, when it comes to reality TV. <

>Kennedy and Stone run from East Coast to West Coast to South Coast (Florida) to get advice from rappers, producers, stars and agents, while simultaneously trying to get a record deal. Kennedy plays his perhaps real-life unassertive persona against his aggressive, beat-making, mooching partner Stone, whom Kennedy calls a Chihuahua in one scene because of his tendency to yap without end. Many of their trials and tribulations are clearly staged, as are most of the cameo conflicts. <

>Fans of Kennedy will adore this, as it highlights Kennedy's natural, laid-back charm in the face of rapping greatness and his hilarious annoyance at getting a contract, getting credibility, and getting his sidekick out of his face once in a while. <

>Of course, the show is a bit of a commercial for Kennedy and Stone's album. At their best, they rap furiously and hilariously on the level of The Bloodhound Gang on top of beats that even impress rap legends Rza, Ice T and Method Man during the show. I liked the goofy tunes so much, I bought a copy here. <

>DVD Extras: Serious fans get commentary from the producer, Kennedy and Stone on all seven episodes. The Internet hit music video for "Rollin' With Saget" is here. Weakest are the DVD extras that were originally marketing material: a prequel, podcasts and a CD commercial. Proving lots of funny was left on the cutting-room floor, the many deleted and extended scenes in various guises on the discs are worth a laugh or two.
