Death of a Dynasty

In the spirit of This is Spinal Tap, Death of a Dynasty offers a funny and satirical look behind the closed doors of Damon Dash's and Jay-Z's hip-hop empire. Shot in New York City, the film centers around Dave Katz, a journalist at a hip-hop magazine who is sent on assignment to uncover the often comedic underworld of Roc-a-Fella Records run by Damon Dash and Jay-Z. Dave believes he is a member of the Roc-a-Fella team and privy to the daily "goings on" at one of the world's hottest record companies. Although he is actually two-timing the magazine, the journalist thinks he is a real "playa" only to later find out that he is the one being played.
