jonathand;1151085 said:You can't argue with these dudes man. They have no damn idea what they're talking about. Nigga a movie star for being in a movie that grossed what Will Smith EARNS per film. This shit is outrageous..
jonathand;1151057 said:I swear to God I'm done. I simply can't take the lack of elementary English comprehension anymore. It's giving me a headache.
jonathand;1151071 said:This is the shit I'm talking about. People have no damn idea what terms mean. They calling a nigga who played in movies that grossed 15 million, movie stars. Jesus man....

rapmastermind;1151093 said:I actually agree with Jonathand here. Pac was not a "MOVIE STAR" yet. He was at best a rising star. Look at the box office:

Opening Gross Average (6): $5,551,271 (Wide Releases Only)
His highest grossing movie was "Poetic Justice" and that was with Janet Jackson who was way bigger than Pac in 1993 and John Singleton coming off his Oscar Nominated criticially acclaimed "Boyz in the Hood". Everything else was basically B-Movie numbers. His last two films that came out after he died "Gang Related" and "Gridlock'd" didn't even break 10 Million at the Box Office. "Above The Rim" did pretty well for it's budget but didn't gross that much. There is no doubt Pac was going to be a movie star, these movies were him getting warmed up. I'm sure Pac would of eventually been in some blockbusters but sadly his career was cut shot. At the point of his death he was not a movie star yet. There are plenty of people who have been in movies who aren't movie stars.

Mvpbrodie93;1151116 said:Juice is not a classic, it's OK and the ONLY reason Everyone watched it is because PAC was In it
rapmastermind;1151128 said:Actually, "Jucie" and "Above the Rim" are both "HOOD CLASSICS". As Well as "Poetic Justice", Black America co-signs all 3 films heavily. But Pac does not have a certified Classic film, no.

Mvpbrodie93;1151154 said:Above the rim>>>juice
and above the rim on it's BEST day is around a 4/5
rapmastermind;1151174 said:I'd put Pac's performance in "Juice" over "Above the Rim" in which he played the typical thug. "Juice" his character had more depth. By the time he got to "Gridlock'd", I could see he was shaping up to be a really good actor in the future. Unlike other rapper/actors, Pac was trained to act at a young age so he could get into character really well. But no "Above The Rim" is not better than "Juice". Omar epps, Samuel L Jackson and Pac > Above the Rim.

Omar epps, Samuel L Jackson and Pac and the soundtrack > Above the Rim (Which still had a dope soundtrack of it's own).
no doubt. he even said how was in the rap game was a act.MR.CJ;1151185 said:i agree. pac would have won a oscar.
