They already did an excellent documentary on 2Pac. No need for some watered down Hollywood junk.

´Tupac Shakur´....those modern black names ::

 

Are they going to show him dancing in his balerina tutu...didn't start living that "thug life" till he was 19-21 years old...FUCK OUT OF HERE....

I'll watch it when it comes out on DVD....seem like a whole lot of "YOu are a STRONG BLACK MAN....and these evil crackas are going to BRING YOU DOWN" kinda movie...

 

Lol. Have you ever seen that interview of him on youtube when he was younger? Good lawd!!

 

Not sure....but the guy wasn't a "thug" till he turn 20 year old...and started making some $$$ in rap...fake ass overated rapper...

 

Are you saying that the Demi-god Tupac was the black Vanilla Ice????:Con:

 

Is he even top 10 material?

 

2Pac lived in Marin City in the late 80s for a short time. It's about 15 minutes from SF.

I've talked to a few people from Marin City who knew him then and they all said he was an ordinary guy, not into the "thug" stuff.

Then he came back to Marin City in 1992 for a concert. By then, he had gone from calling himself "The Menace of Marin" to claiming Oakland (a few years before deciding to become an LA/Compton Piru), and I think this rubbed some people the wrong way.

He got into a beef with some former friends, and Pac's half-brother fired his gun at them, missed, and killed a little kid.

I hated Pac for awhile after that, although eventually I loved his music (mostly his depressing stuff).

 

People who knew him said his gangstadom didn't start until he played Bishop in the film "Juice". They said after that, Tupac became Bishop.

 

So he was a wannabe? Lol

 

I'll still watch it because I'm a big fan of him and that era of rap, but I don't expect much after those puff pieces (no pun intended) Notorious and Straight Outta Compton (which was indeed a well done movie).

It'll be tamed down, and the lead actor has a tough role as Pac was a charismatic figure.

Tupac: Resurrection was a pretty thorough documentary on him back in 2003.

 

"Shorty Wanna Be a Thug"

He was infatuated with big-time criminals (Jimmy Henchman, Haitan Jack, Suge). He wanted to be a thug, he became one, and paid the ultimate price.

He was a little bit nutty, and had balls, and it cost him.

It's all subjective. Tupac didn't have the "technical" skills of a lot of other rappers, such as Eminem who is simply outrageous with the multi-syllablic rhymes. But I'll listen to Pac anyday over Eminem, who I only think has had one real good LP

 

That actor looks too ugly to play Tupac.

 

Most rappers are wannabes. They have to appeal to a certain demographic first: street guys. Snoop Dogg is from a middle class background for example: probably grew up with Grey Poupon on his sandwiches made by his butler.

 

I'm no rap connoisseur by a long stretch but Tupac had a great voice. As Erratic said, Eminem was more talented technically, but I'd sooner listen to a Tupac track....in my case because of teh voice.

JayZ has the best music for my tastes though of any rapper I've heard.

Again....I don't profess to be a connoisseur

 

The dangerous ones are the rappers' entourage. They're the ones from the neighborhood with no talent, so they have little to lose. Some are actual goons (your fav Treach for one) or complete lunatics (C-Murder being the prime example), but usually it's their crew to look out for.

Snoop did roll with the Rolling 20s Crips though in Long Beach and beat a murder case when he drove the car in a drive-by. I think he got his shit together and got more business-minded after beating the case, while Pac seemed to just be going crazier. It had gotten very dangerous, Snoop and the Dogg Pound were filming the NY, NY video in NY and Biggie got on the radio bitching "how is NY gonna let these California rappers come to our city and disrespect us?" and next thing you know, Snoop and them got shot at during the video shoot.

 

Well, he was. Tupac was one of the most respected rappers (by fans and his peers) ever and was definitely on Jay-Z and Biggies level as a rap artist. Lyrically he wasn't on their level but he was when it came to making hit songs and the shit he rapped touched all his fans in a way that they could just really relate to him.

Another thing about Pac was how women really loved him as well. I think he had one of the bigger female fan followings of any rapper and this wasn't based on sex appeal or him being hot to them, it was just once again how much what he rapped, related so well to them. He was just so real lyrically even though his persona was complete bullshit and led to his death.
