Yup. How a goofy, nerdy kid convinced MILLIONS of people that he was a thug and a gangster
He was talking about Pac not Big lol
Pac got into the music industry thru being a back up dancer thats real thugging
And i saw all of those movies. None of those people/Characters were one dimensional like Biggie was, which made those stories interesting.
So do you automatically like a movie because one of these critics does?
Not necessarily, but I would respect what they thought. I already knew this would be more-than-decent because of the filmmakers involved. But others should certainly know better than to BLINDLY (and angriliy) trash a movie, especially an urban one about hip-hop, when there's considerable critical support. It should clue them in to the fact that there's something worthwhile here if so many experienced, knowledgeable (and tough) critics give a movie about lowdown rappers positive reviews. OBVIOUSLY!!!
Too many idiots on this board don't know the difference between a George Tillman Jr. film and a Damon Dash film. That's a damn shame.
same shit i'm thinking

you talking about big right?
Forget what your reviewers said the movie was a medicore. The performances were sub par, the storytelling was lazy and the dude who played Biggie was sorta boring. He lacked the charm of Biggie which is what made him who he was. I didn't learn anything new about Biggie from this movie. And stop acting like George Tillman is Eli Kazan or somebody. What about these filmmakers (George Tillman, Mrs. Wallace, Puffy, and Chris Kaplan) makes you think it would be more than decent? Soul Food was good but that was over a decade ago. Talking about Damon Dash, The Woodsman and Paid in Full are better than ANYTHING George Tillman has ever been involved in. Do you know anything about film?
. But it was a good movie, if you from new york you would like it more cause a lot of the shit in there brought back memories like a mofo

neither pac nor big started out as " real " thugs.....you'd think we'd learn seeing where that acting got them.
Now y'all niggas know Tupacs alive! He faked his death!
Yes, I had to say it
Yes, I had to say it
Sez who??
Many disagree.
That wasn't the point of the film. Go read a book if you want new info.
Compared to most black filmmakers, he certainly is. (Though I'd be more apt to compare him to someone like Norman Jewison.)
Soul Food, Men of Honor and Barbershop. Quality black films that also made money.
You forgot the ugly-ass State Property and its miserable sequel. Which are more up Dash's alley. Dash put his name on the marquee of the other films you mentioned but his creative input was minimal, unlike producer/DIRECTOR Tillman's.
Obviously a lot more than you do if you're hyping a knucklehead (and non-director/writer) like Damon Dash over George Tillman Jr., not to mention screenwriters Reggie Rock Bythewood and Cheo Hodari Coker (who wrote the definitive Biggie book). You must be a hoodrat (or a wannabe gangsta).
I'll bet you didn't even bother to see The Secret Life of Bees.

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
I'll reserve judgement till I see it on bootleg, thanks for the heads up but I don't trust some of yall BGOL dudes with your odd ball opinions.
If it is bad, I don't understand why Eminem & 50 Cent could have decent movies but not Notorious B.I.G. Thats disgraceful.

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.
co-sign
I hope Blunt goes to see the next Steve McQueen movie.....time for a black rise in cinema....
edit- sorry off topic
Anyways:
i'm a wait for the Africans to come out w/it.... fnck it I didn't run out 4 Resurrection either n I love my rap shit
damn I had to reply to this cuz ur kinda shittin on my boy Pac. BIG's damn near first album was all about Pac's life. Go listen to Me Against the World then listen to Ready to Die. Pac's mom was on crack and his father was never there. That's why he got jealous when BIG said "birthdays was the worst days." He felt Pac was taking parts of his life to create his image to make money. BIG's mother has even said in interviews BIG was spoiled and never had it hard w/her. Pac's fam would be starving on Thanksgiving cuz his moms was on crack. Go listen to "Violent", "Part-time Mutha", "Brenda's got a Baby", "Changes" cuz u got Pac sounding like Puffy rite now.
Don't get me wrong I love BIG too, but alotta shit was fabricated on both sides.
AND FOR EVERY1 SHITTING ON THIS FLICK ITS NOT REALLY 4 US YALL. I THINK THIS IS FOR THE SOULJA BOY GENERATION TO EDUCATE THE YOUNGER CATS THAT MAY BE FANS BUT DIDN'T REALLY WATCH EVERYTHING AS IT WAS HAPPENING.

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.
2pac was no thug more like a clown
That is why he died like a fucking clown.......
Get off Tupac's nuts. This is a thread about Biggie's movie fool.
I'm not no Biggie fan, but...................
Mothafuck TUPAC!
fake ass studio gangsta!
Now his poetry was a different story
Not too sure where he was thuggin in his developmental years. Seems to me he had a pretty sheltered life and a classically trained actor. Anyone can get on Death Row and Thug till they die.
Tupac Shakur
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the age of twelve, Shakur enrolled in Harlem's famous "127th Street Ensemble." His first major role with this acting troupe was as Travis in A Raisin in the Sun. In 1984, his family relocated to Baltimore, Maryland,[10] After completing his second year at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School he transferred to the Baltimore School for the Arts, where he studied acting, poetry, jazz, and ballet. He performed in Shakespeare plays, and in the role of the Mouse King in The Nutcracker.[9] Shakur, accompanied by one of his friends, Dana "Mouse" Smith, as his beatbox, won most of the many rap competitions that he participated in and was considered to be the best rapper in his school.[11] Although he lacked trendy clothing, he was one of the most popular kids in his school because of his sense of humor, superior rapping skills, and ability to mix in with all crowds.[12] He developed a close friendship with a young Jada Pinkett (later Jada Pinkett Smith) that lasted until Shakur's death. In the documentary Tupac: Resurrection, Shakur says, "Jada is my heart. She will be my friend for my whole life," and Smith calls Shakur "one of my best friends. He was like a brother. It was beyond friendship for us. The type of relationship we had, you only get that once in a lifetime." A poem written by Shakur titled "Jada" appears in his book, The Rose That Grew From Concrete, which also includes a poem dedicated to Smith called "The Tears in Cupid's Eyes".
In June 1988, Shakur and his family moved once again, this time to Marin City, California,[1] where he attended Tamalpais High School. He joined the Ensemble Theater Company (ETC) to pursue his career in entertainment.[citation needed] His mother's crack addiction led him to move into Leila Steinberg's home with his friend Ray Luv at the age of seventeen and he eventually dropped out of high school.[citation needed] Steinberg acted as a literary mentor to Shakur, an avid reader.[citation needed] Steinberg has kept copies of the books that he read, which include J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye, Jamaica Kincaid's At the Bottom of the River, Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, Eileen Southern's Music of Black Americans, and the feminist writings of Alice Walker and Robin Morgan.[citation needed] Most of these books were read before the age of twenty. In 1989, Steinberg organized a concert with Shakur's former group, Strictly Dope. The concert lead to him being signed with Atron Gregory who set him up with the up-and-coming rap group Digital Underground. In 1990, he was hired as the band's backup dancer
and roadie.[2][3]My thing is why would you pay to see the same rehashed story that you already know the outcome of??
