Nah b. That shit wasn't no movie just re-enactments. No back stories or private conversations that we were not already privy to. No introspection inside the mind of Pac. No background on showing him and biggie as friends. It was decent I'd say 6/10 and that's being generous as me as a fan of his music.
I'm a little confused at when you said there was no introspection in his mind? Didn't the movie show a lot of what 2pac thought about life, especially when it comes to some of his contradictions?
And his friendship with Biggie took up a good size of the movie, they were shown hanging at parties and even on a movie set. Even showed how Biggie tried to visit Pac in the hospital. I do agree I wish they could have gone into more detail when it comes to those things.
So you do agree? I'm not about to pour syrup on shit and call it pancakes. The interview in jail that took up half the movie flashing back? That was self explanation. Whoever was seriously in charge of this shit could not have been a true Pac supporter. How you gonna have Pac talking about finishing up his obligations at death-row but then suge punks him into taking death-row east and staying? Puffy made sure his character was non existant. The outlawz managed to play themselves 20 years after the fact? It was a synopsis, this happened then that happened then this happened. No real insight as far as making hit em up, probably the most controversial song of Pac's career. I can go on but like I said its ok, its watchable.
The Outlawz cosigned this movie, which to me is a big thing, but the whole Deathrow East thing is something Pac seemed to be enthusiastic about. Pac was complex, yeah he did talk about leaving Death Row after his 3 albums was up but he still had some loyalty to Suge and his crew. Look at how Pac acted in Vegas, he was in deep with Deathrow. Idi Amin and the others still look KINDA young, so them playing themselves didn't bother me too much.
I do feel what you're saying about Hit Em Up, I definitely wish they got into more background on that. But maybe the director assumed most of us knew the whole story about why the beef began, we all pretty much know why 2pac had beef with Biggie already.
