Backstage: Music Inspired by the Film is the soundtrack to the Chris Fiore's 2000 documentary film Backstage. Originally scheduled for a Fall 1999 release, it was then delayed to a January 11, 2000 release. The album was ultimately released on August 29, 2000 by Roc-A-Fella Records and Def Jam Recordings. Recording sessions took place at The Hit Factory, at Manhattan Center, at Soundtrack Recording Studios, at Baseline Studios, at Sony Music Studios, at Mirror Image Recorders, at Right Track Recording and at Unique Recording Studios in New York City, at the Enterprise in Burbank, at Cash Money Studios in Metairie, at PatchWerk Recording Studios and at Stankonia Recording in Atlanta, at Criteria Studios in Miami, at Lamp City, and at Doppler Studios. Production was handled by several record producers, including Alchemist, Earthtone III, Irv Gotti, Ken "Duro" Ifill, Mannie Fresh, Poke & Tone, Redman, Scott Storch, Swizz Beatz, Timbaland and DJ Clue. It features contributions from Jay-Z, Ja Rule, Memphis Bleek, Amil, Big Tymers, Cam'ron, Capone-N-Noreaga, Christión, Da Brat, Da Ranjahz, Eve, Fabolous, Hot Boys, Juelz Santana, Killer Mike, Lady Luck, Lil' Cease, Mýa, Outkast, Prodigy, Redman, Rell, Slimm Calhoun, T-Boz and The Lox. The mixtape was a commercial success, peaking at number six on the Billboard 200 and topping the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart at number 1. It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America on December 4, 2000 for sales of over 500,000 copies. There were four singles released from the project: Mýa & Jay-Z's "Best of Me, Part 2" with music video directed by Hype Williams, Beanie Sigel's "In the Club" with music video directed by Jeremy Rall, Prodigy's "Keep it Thoro" with music video directed by Diane Martel, and Memphis Bleek's "My Mind Right" with music video directed by Nzingha Stewart.
