How can you make a movie about Pac


and not get his voice right? That's disrespectful. The man changed the world with his voice. I will wait until the movie drops but the trailer has me a little worried.

To be fair it's kinda hard to find someone who can act, look like him and at the same time sound like him... Even more so since they had a deadline to start filming the movie

The dude who played Tupac in STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON was dubbed by another guy, definitly not something we want to see in a full movie

A good father and a good outlaw can't settle inside the same man.

I know what you mean...but this man made a living off his lyrics and voice, so I'd say it's fairly important to portray that accurately. And I've seen a couple Pac impersonators who got the looks voice and mannerisms down, the acting part can be learned. But let's see what happens.

Yeah I hear what you're saying, the first clips I saw of Demetrius reciting speeches Tupac had done I thought it was pretty weak... But I saw clips in the trailer that at least seemed to have a similar passion in his voice to Pac

To be fair I don't think looking like him should be that big of a priority it's the acting that does it, I mean Will Smith really doesn't look like Muhammad Ali but he made it believable still

i agree it seems like this dude phoned it in just from the trailers this doesnt seem to have pac's passion which was the main fuel of his life force . This guy seems to have played the vanity side of tupac with someone like tupac you need to have covered all your basis's


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