Empire: Season 2 DVD Review – It’s Hot!

How excited are we for the Season 3 premiere of Empire tomorrow night? Yay! But before that, run and get the Season 2 DVD immediately! It is awesome and binge-worthy. Catch up with the Lyon Family drama as well as Empire Entertainment Records. Re-watch the infamous rap battle between Hakeem and Freda Gatz (I’ve literally watched it 20 times – so good) and all the fabulous musical performances. This 5-disc set has all 18 episodes from season 2 and some great special features (53 minutes of awesomeness)!

SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE:

Empire around the Globe: USO Tour – I loved this feature! Taraji P. Henson, Jussie Smollett & Bryshere “Yazz” Gray traveled to Tokyo, Japan to visit the troops and it was so heartwarming. To see the excitement of the troops and their families was priceless. They had a white party (Empire Style) and Jussie & Yazz performed while Taraji danced. It was a great look into their trip spreading holiday cheer to the troops. It was awesome!

Freda Gatz Music Video- One word. Fire!!

Studio Sessions- It’s so cool to see the process of recording with Jussie, Serayah and Neyo. Never Love Again and Heavy are my favorites!

• “Heavy”

• “Never Love Again”

• “Born to Lose”

• “Do Something With It”

• “Sorry Just Don’t Cut It”

• “Supernatural”

The Look of Empire – Behind the scenes of set decorating and how you can create these amazing looks yourself.

• How to Recreate Empire’s Leviticus

• How to Recreate Lucious’ Office

• How to Recreate Lucious’ Living Room

• Discovering the Art on Empire- I loved this feature because the art on Empire is such a part of the show. Lee Daniels picks each art piece himself for the Lyon Mansion. Not only is he a super director, he has great taste in art too. Amazing!

Uncut Music Performances– You have to have Uncut music performances and these are so good! Jussie Smollet’s performance of You Broke Love with Terrance Howard is seriously worth purchasing the DVD. It is beautiful! 

• Runnin’

• You Broke Love

• Heavy

• Miracles
