I absolutely loved this movie- mainly because my understanding of these two dynamic rappers has changed. I waited a lllllooooooonnnnggg time to see this movie- I remember when if was all the rave at themovies. I think the reason I waited such a long time was because I did not think the movie would be positive. And, I must say I was initially turned off by the documentarian's pronunciation of Tupac's name, but as the movie progress all was forgiven.
I have always been more of a Pac fan, but after this movie I realize that maybe Biggie was more of a sweetheart than I gave him credit for. Judging by the pieces of music I have heard by these two artist I assumed that Pac was always more conscientious than Biggie. Pac's music had a more spiritual/metaphysical inspiration to it-so I thought. But Biggie's mom recollection of her son's devotion to her was enough to make me tear up and give who I thought Biggie was a second thought.
I will say that the story was greatly influenced by Biggie's mom, and that maybe why I feel differenty towards Biggie. But, there is also the things Biggie said in light of Pac's death that made me know that Biggie never truley hated Pac. Ironically, I think had Pac outlived Biggie he would not have been so gracious. Pac was too far into "thugging it" that I think he forgot who he was. Sad.
Overall, the film did a great job with showing that the streets did not kill Pac and Biggie- those who are suppose to serve and protect did.
Nontheless, R.I.P. Pac and Biggie.
By the comments you made its very clear you don't like them or the music and yes I call it that as well as millions of others.These men are heroes to some, Pac was mine. Though the man was conflicted, often contradicting himself. I would say he was as contradicted as the world is, he was a good reflection of what was going on at the times when his music came into being.Be well Thomas, What are your favorite artist?
