Making a movie about a rapper who got involved with gangs, that's classy
All the rap lovers will see this stupid excuse of a movie
shareNear the end of his life this got him killed...but he truly was trying to unify/organize
"these groups" and regulate their way of living. He was even involved in making a quote-on-quote "Thug Code" for street gangs to follow in order to make sure innocent people were not caught in the crossfire of their differences.
This whole idea may sound foreign but there are people of many different walks of life (all over the world) that live lives that are questionable to some.
Here's a video of the "plan"

OP , what's your problem with fans of his music going to see it ??. Nobody is forcing you to go and see the film so why post a stupid statement that makes no decent point or anything of any substance.
Now I'll say that I loved Tupac, and grew up during the time he was huge. His life is fascinating, and he was so much more than a gang banger. He was a brilliant music mind whom had many friends who are famous now that you wouldn't have guessed would run in his circle . Not only was a a phenomenal lyricist , but was one hell of an actor who was on his way to award nominations.
Lastly I will say that I have no desire to go see this film lol. It doesn't really appeal to me, and like the film on the Notorious Big I feel it will be washed down, and not nearly show the good things, and positive aspects of his life. It more or less will glorify the gangster rap part, and probably be really stupid.
I love all know genres of music, and rap is probably one of my least favorite nowadays, but there was a time when it was great, and it was only about 13-15 years ago IMO.
Stop posting stupid stuff stuff like " only rap music fans will see this" and "he was a gang banger" type comments without knowing facts. Like I said it's everyone's choice to see what they want, but a Tupac was so much more than the little bubble you put him in. If that was the case you could put any rapper in that bubble. He was so much more. I truly hope it is actually made correctly, and that it comes out great, but I don't have high hopes on it doing that.
THERES NO ROOM IN MY CIRCUS TENT FOR YOU !!!!
So he wanted to regulate their way of living, yet didn't even want to follow the federal way of living, as in the real laws of the country.
He was surrounded by, and grew up in, a very anti-American family. Black Panthers, Black Liberation Army, Communist groups. He lived in a very criminal world. Assata Shakur is still holed up in Cuba after escaping prison.
Aside from Native Americans, people cannot have two separate laws to live by in the US.
He died by the very laws HE wanted to live by. That is not someone to look up to.
In truth this movie coming out is to coincide with what is happening in the US now with Black Lives Matters and other SJW ideology. This movie could have been made years ago, but instead it is exploiting the social climate of the US now and probably wanting to maybe subliminally antagonize or provoke more problems.
How come we have never seen a movie about Harriet Tubman or Frederick Douglass or Booker T Washington? People that did not live a thug life and actually really did a lot more good in the world. I'd rather see a biopic about them. Those are people to look more up to than Tupac.
((Damn the remakes, Save the originals.))
