straight to video in two months.
Yup. How a goofy, nerdy kid convinced MILLIONS of people that he was a thug and a gangster![]()
LOL! You are one of millions who were fooled![]()
No Biggie was a street dude who did what he did in the streets to get money, 2Pac was a dancer who danced in tights in several videos. He wasn't a thug until Suge Knight painted him as one. He then he started to belive it. 2Pac was never a THUG
question for the bgol, is hit em up the only song ya know from pac cause i mean he has more uplifting real songs that the average hood dude struggling in life can relate 2 then songs like hit him up. pac was political, fuck if he was a thug or not, that nigga songs got me through some rough times in high school.
But let's keep it real. We already know what happened. This muthafukka isn't Malcolm X. He's a good rapper that got killed too soon. We saw enough of Biggie's life to where a sensationalize biopic is pointless. Same goes for Tupac. A documentary is enough. But it is a recession, so at least these no talent ass actors & actresses have a job this year.
I like 2Pac but he was 50/50 as hell. Look at his catalog.... for every uplifting so there's 5 negative one. Yea, he was political but he was also an emotional, troublemaker. Imagine if you preacher was like 2Pac....would he be praised?
I trip off these romanticized views of these two. Neither Biggie nor Pac were some freedom crusader trying to elevate black people. That's a load of bullshit. A lot of you niggas may be young but there are a lot of us around who were grown ass men when Pac and Biggie were around. I can remember many times shaking my head at Pac on the television acting damn fool. Years from now I guess niggas are going to say T-Pain and 50 were aftrocentric freedom fighters.
These niggas were entertainers trying to make a dollar. Pac may have had a couple of moments of realization towards the end of his life but I'm sick of niggas Malcolm and Martin-ing these two fools. I swear black folk seem to consistently pick the wrong people to champion as examples. Maybe that's why so many of us are misguided? There are plenty of brothas who have done real shit for our people. These two niggas were entertainers: A fat ex-drug dealer and a studio gangster. Black folks need to FOCUS. We have much better than both of these fools in our culture. Give them props for what they did for hip-hop but please stop trying to make them out to be some sort of martyrs for black people.
Neither of these fools represent me.
Okay, I see. You're another dumbass who doesn't know anything about music so you define success by dollar amounts and then constrain those success to rappers. well I don't. Now you've brought R&B in, so here's some numbers for your ass:
Michael Jackson - Thriller - 27x Platinum. Not rap music.
Whitney Houston - The Bodygurad soundtrack - 17x Platinum Not rap.
Mariah Carey has had 2 CDs to go 10x Platinum
Boys 2 Men II - 14X Platinum
Outkast - 11x Platinum
Stevie Wonder, Usher, TLC, MC Hammer - all went 10x Platinum as well.
Stop trying to front like B.I.G. is the biggest thing in history. The difference? All of these people minus Left Eye are still around to enjoy their successes.
Stevie >>>>>>>>>>>>>>every rapper in history.
Rap doesn't have a musical genius. You measure success by sales. I measure by quality. Holla at me when a rapper has a record on the level of "Songs In The Key Of Life" or "Talking Book".
Tupac was a middle class kid who went to the school of performing arts. I saw a video he and Jada Pinkett made lip-syncing... get this... "Parents Just Don't Understand."
I WOULD NOT PAY 1 PENNY TO SEE THIS MOVIE!! There must be some age/generation difference in those who like the movie and those who are not interested.
We saw Not Easily Broken and that movie was worth every hard-earned cent. Something for the brothers & sisters... Black man, good hard-working man and how he was almost driven into another woman's arms. They should have marketed Not Easily Broken better than they did
the movie was iight, biggie could have been played by b-legit fo real
He never said he was a "gangster" and THUG LIFE was an acronym for The Hate U Give Little Infants Fucks Everybody.
It was a philosphy that if you don't raise the kids right, they'll turn around and rob, rape and kill all of us eventually.
I mean, don't you read? Dr. Michael Eric Dyson wrote a good book about Pac.
And you're one of the ignorant millions who didn't get what THUG LIFE was.
Once again wrong. . . .
Pac put out one record while he was alive on Death Row, and that was "All Eyez On Me". His other records came out before Suge was ever in the picture. The Thug Life record came out two years before "All Eyez On Me" did.
You keep exposing how little you know about Hip-Hop. Before Pac signed to Death Row, he shot two cops, went to prison for sexual battery, settled a lawsuit against the Oakland P.D., and started feuding with Big & Puff.
Exactly, it's like these dudes never heard "Brenda's Got A Baby" "Trapped" "Souljah" "Young Black Male" "Part Time Mutha" "Holla If Ya Hear Me" "Keep Ya Head Up" "Papa'z Song" "Pour Out A Little Liquor" "How Long Will They Mourn Me?" "Cradle to the Grave" "Me Against the World" "So Many Tears" "Young Niggaz" "Lord Knows" "Dear Mama" "My Block"
and soooo many other tracks that are about the plight of Black males in Amerikkka. He wrote so many that I didn't even cover the shit he did on Death Row with Suge.
Too many of these fags read XXL or THe Source or never listened to Pac's music to even judge the dude's image or work.
I don't know a kid born in jail to a Black Panther mother, defending herself on trial, born into poverty in New York, where he grew up around Geronimo Pratt and Assata Shakur, and Mutulu Shakur, learning the Black Panther ideology, then moves to California, where he's exposed to gang-bangin and pimpin, and manages to find himself somewhere in all those worlds.
I mean Jim Morrison and Buddy Holly got critically acclaimed movies. Kurt Cobain's gonna get his own movie, as soon as Courtney gets her say. It's not like you gotta be George Washington in order to get a biopic, all you gotta do is have a semi-interesting story, or have you not seen the 1,123,231 biopics about everybody on earth the last few years.
False. You listened to a few Pac albums and made that assertion. There is no way you could listen to every Pac record and make that statement. Pac's records for the first 5 years of his career were mostly militant, political, social commentary, with hints of gangsta in them. He signed to Death Row for 9 months and now people act like his whole catalogue didn't exist.
Nigga, Elvis has been called more shit by white folks than Pac and Biggie ever will and he was a child-molesting drug addict, who never even wrote his own songs.
Like I said, if Elvis, Buddy Holly(who I think died at 19), and Jim Morrison can get movies based on being White and famous, then we can look at two brothas who got shot down.
I unlike most of you hatin' ass niggaz look forward to seeing "Notorious" next weekend(when nobody'll get shot), because White folks would make a Paris Hilton movie, if they thought people would go see it and now we gotta hate on two of our most talented brothas, because of what? Because you're ignorant about Pac and Biggie's music? Or you don't like Hip-Hop, or what?
The bottom line is, Hip-Hop is bigger than the British Invasion. It has literally dominated the last 25 years of American Culture. These are the two most famous guys who EVER did it, what's the problem?
You think the two most famous Rock-stars of all-time wouldn't get movies? They already did.
Get the hell out of here with that anti-rap bullshit. Public Enemy's "It Takes A Nation of Millions. . . " has been included on every top 100 records ever made list. Time Magazine even put "The Chronic" and "Low End Theory" and "Marshall Mathers LP" on their list, and you some ol' hatin' ass nigga, wanna to play Hip-Hop out.
There is no question of Hip-Hop's influence. They're givin' rappers Oscars and Grammys by the barrell load. Rappers are treated like Gods in every corner of the planet. You don't have to respect Hip-Hop culture. The entire world does.
Nothing middle class about him. Ask Jada Pinkett about how she and her friends used to have to give Pac clothes for Christmas because he didn't have any. He was raised by his single crackhead mother. Does that sound "middle-class" to you?
And jackass, in 1988, everything didn't have to be gangsta. Will Smith used to be a respected rapper. He even used to kill cats on the radio battles in Philly.
You know nothing about Hip-HOp. Back to Souljah Boy!
Naw, from what I've seen you post on here, you're a snob. I can see why you wouldn't like seeing a movie about a rapper, even though I'll tell you, every respected critic I've seen has said "Notorious" was a really good movie.
He did look like Biggie. I forgot about that, but he was one of Pac's Oakland homeboys. I don't think that would've gone down good.
Dude, be serious. You are telling me you'd want to see someone play Tupac? Tupac was a character that couldn't be duplicated. We saw everything we need to know about Tupac via his multiple documentaries. Why the hell would we want to see a fictionalized version of his life? The guy practically had cameras on him since he was like 15. I don't wanna see Tyron Turner or Larenz Tate shave their head & pretend to be him. Same with Biggie. What can we find out in a movie that we already don't know? But I guess it keeps his name alive & lets these youngsters know why he was such a respected rapper I guess. I prefer fact over fiction. Gimme American Gangster anyday over this crap.
notorious>>>>american gangster
I meant the series on BET. Not the Frank Lucas movie.
have you even seen notorious?
biggie wasn't a thug but he had to play that role as one to get street cred just like alot of rappers now. 2Pac was a real thug.
Yes. I saw the cam version & it had no real substance. I was left waiting for climaxes in the scenes & it just jumped to the next scene. Glad I didn't waste my money.
how old are u? just curious
My thing is why would you pay to see the same rehashed story that you already know the outcome of??![]()
heres the story............
Bad ass kid
sells some dope
gets discoverd
fuck some skanks
marry one
goes to L.A.
gets killed..........the end.
Let the dude rest in peace.![]()
It's wild watchin that, because I remember watchin that episode.
I keep forgetting he was only 24-25.
and you didnt like this movie![]()
Nope. I also didn't like 8 Mile, Get Rich or Die Trying, Purple Rain or The Temptations Movie. See a pattern? I don't like musical type of flicks. Especially when I've seen every Biggie documentary.
I just watch the bootleg and the movie was so so......it's not worth going to the movies and check it out....but in all, the movie was so so
peace
Kill yourself immediately.
Yup. How a goofy, nerdy kid convinced MILLIONS of people that he was a thug and a gangster![]()
Same here. It was entertainingjust saw it.
it wasn't a bad movie. shit was watchable.
my expectations were low going in tho.![]()
