Who LIKED the TUPAC SCENE in Surviving Compton...

To be honest, I did not see the movie. I refuse to watch a movie with a lady getting beat like a punching bag. To me its like "What's Love Got to Do with It" all over again. But I saw the scene on YouTube. It was on the "InYaGirlOvaries" Channel...OK...I cheated!

Anyway, the scene was hilarious. He did have the LOOK and he could ACT but the scene was too FUNNY for me to take SERIOUS.

To be continued...

His appearance was a good little treat. I was happy as soon as I saw his bandanna and I heard how he was flowing in the booth. His character is an easy giveaway.

The entire scene was pointless and a bunch of *beep* Just producer dr. Dre wanting people to think that him and Pac were always friends. That scene in that awful movie happens before Eazy-E dies. Eazy died in March of 95. So that movie wants us to believe that Pac was out of prison, signed to Death Row, and already working on the Makaveli album, before March of 95. Any fan of Pac knows this is *beep* because we all know Pac recorded all the lyrics for the Makaveli album in a mere 3 days in August of 96. After Eazy had been dead well over a year, and even after dre was gone from Death Row. Pac even dissed the *beep* out of dre on the song Toss it Up on that album. Pac hated dre. He made clear by dissing him on several tracks, and by screaming "all the homos can go home cause dre ain't here" while on a video set. And if Pac was still alive, dre would've probably never come out of hiding.

Biographical movies sometimes take instances that happened and place them in the movie at a different time for story telling purposes, tupac in the booth before E died is anachronistic but it did actually happen though it was later, during the recording of all eyez on me. Dre popping off on everyone for partying instead of working was legit, and pac only thought dre was gay because suge kept telling him he was, suge did this because he knew dre was leaving and didn't want tupac going with him. Tupac respected dre as a producer.

You've obviously never listened to "Toss it Up", "*beep* Friendz", "To Live and Die in L.A.", or to any of Pacs interviews about dre. Pac was not suges puppet. He didn't do stuff just cause suge told him to. That's just stupid to even suggest. Pac said dre was a good producer but was being lazy when it came to producing. Pac was pissed off dre was getting credit for producing his album when dre produced only 2 songs on All Eyez On Me. Pac was making *beep* happen for death row and dre was sitting on his ass at his house doing nothing, and those were Pacs words. Like I said this scene was pointless and completely untrue. All Eyez on Me was completed and released before Pac ever recorded a lyric for the Makaveli album.

Ok since you're taking that tone, i have everything ever released that pac did, I've been a fan since '91, now, i never said pac was a puppet, God knows where you got that from, i said pac was lied to, everyone gets lied to now and again, pac was his own man but he was told dre was gay repeatedly by a man he was initially close to, as time went on he began to see suge for what he was but by that time he had already recorded various tracks " outing dre ".
With regards to your other point about pac recording what track and when, look up the word anachronistic and you'll find that i was confirming what you said, you are right and i agree, the track in the film was never recorded at that time, that's ANACHRONISTIC! In future you'd do well to park your foolish temper somewhere safe so maybe you could hold a conversation with like minded people without looking like a tool.

i liked the fact that he looked like tupac the most it was a honest portrayal of pac they did him justice in this film

You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

There was 2 scenes of him in it. One taking place in 95 and one in 96.

And they were alright, albeit I thought his rapping sounded more like some traprapper slightly influenced by Pac of today than of Tupac himself.

One thing I didn't like was yet again they keep the lie up that Dre and Pac were best friends, Dre even tells Michel'e in a scene that he's signing Tupac to Aftermath... Pac of course had a big run in with Dre about him taking credit for songs he didn't produced and would later even mention it in one of his many disses towards Dre in WATCH YA MOUTH:

"Now that we done shook Doc Dre
He ain’t made a beat in six years, swear he the sht
Won’t get no record sales sucking Nas' dick"

(the group THE FIRM with Nas etc was one of the first acts Dre signed to Aftermath).

So not only were they not close but Pac was most likely instrumental in Dre leaving Death Row. So yeah I don't know why they would keep that up, maybe they just wanted a reason to have Tupac mentioned and in it as much as possible because he's a icon and Michel'e's relationship with him wasn't deep enough to validate that.

I really hope that ALL EYEZ ON ME don't follow in the same tracks as that.
