AllMusic[1]

West has said on many occasions that he feels the imagery of his music videos are very important to him and an integral part to his art. He contributed to the direction of the videos for "All Falls Down" and three versions of "Jesus Walks".[citation needed]

The initial music video for "Jesus Walks" was rejected by MTV and other networks for being inappropriate for airing, so West made an alternate version for MTV.[2] A third video was also made, although rarely seen before this DVD.[2]

It was accompanied by a bonus audio CD that featured seven otherwise unreleased songs by West. Three are remixes or reprises of songs from The College Dropout, two are alternate instrumental versions of Dropout tracks, and two ("It's Alright" and "Heavy Hitters") were previously unreleased originals.

On June 12, 2006, the DVD/CD set was certified Gold by the RIAA. Such an honor was declared once the album surpassed the 50,000 units sold mark.
