Reviews
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
ZeroedZero Me and my buddies were all big fans of 2Pac during the beginning of the 90's and I must say that he invoke criminal behavior in all of us. Now this makes me wonder if all of it only was a deliberate global scam! I have provided words from the documentary that I have written down by pausing frame by frame. You decide how it sounds! Did someones want to inspire us with fabricated criminal drama?Transcript Narrator: In 1989 when 2Pac attended a dance-function, he met Leila Steinberg. Leila were developing workshops in which young people could express themselves. They immediately connected and arranged to meet the next day. Steinberg: The first day we met, he ended up coming from the city to this place with me. That same day we did our little workshop that night and then from that night on he was a part of our group. He felt that I was like, the perfect package to get him where he needed to go. He told me what was going on at his house and within a couple of months I realized that his mother was so addicted that his house is too dysfunctional to have a career, to keep going to school so within a couple of months he ended up staying at my house. 7465 Bridget drive, and this is the apartment that I was living in with my husband and children and Pac and Ray came to stay with me here. He was the sloppiest messiest person I had ever lived with and dirty. He would never want to wash clothes. He wanted like buy new clothes to not have to clean up and wash that. At 17 he was wide-eyed and really believed that he could change the world. 2Pac: I think that those should go to school again. You know, I think that, I think that rich people should live like poor people and poor people should live like rich people and they should change every week. Steinberg: Our relationship was really a relationship that we searched for knowledge you know, we explored together. I'll just tell you a book right now, you know it has been along a long time. It's called "Ponder On This". The stuff we were exploring together; "Food for thought, Alignment, The Ancient Mysteries, Astrology, The Buddha, Challenge, Christ, The Impact of Color, Our State of Consciousness, Medicine, The Moon, The Occult Teachings, Rajneesh, Telepathy, The Kabbalah and the Tibetian book of the dead". He read roots a number of times. As you study 2Pacs lyrics you start to know and understand how much he incorporated his reading, even his last albums. So Pac would read a book like this, it's a pretty big book and he would attack peoples definitions. So what is cultural literacy and who defines it? Is it the white perspective or the multicultural perspective. 2Pac: There should be a drug class, there should be sex education, there should be a class on scams. There should be a class on religious cults. There should be a class on police brutality. There should be a class on apartheid. There should be a class on racism in America. There should be a class on why people are hungry but there are not. Steinberg: This right here is the first hall that 2Pac preformed in and it was a craft community building, and Pac did this with digital underground, packed the place. I had talked to *** and I wanted to get us a deal and he said that we would have to make a video. We decided to have our own mini-concert here on the grass so that we could show *** how tight we were. So all the kids in the building were our audience right here down on the grass, and that was the stage behind the trees and we had the "strictly dope" show.
lingerie_ripper Tupac would've agreed of the making of this documentary. I believe this is the only documentary ever made of Tupac that ever gave him justice. This is a beautifully put together biography of Tupac's life with plenty of interviews and alot of people who loved him speaking about him and on him. This is definately a must see for tupac fans, and for anyone who has a chance to see this. Don't miss it.
ddarrynt Thug Angel is QD3's/Afeni/The Shakur Estate's attempt to turn Tupac's bad public image around and show you all the good things about him, hence, Thug Angel. What the media portrayed to you wasn't Tupac, he wasn't a gangsta, he wasn't a bad person. He loved the community, he loved kids, he even turned his car around driving to the airport because he heard about a little girl getting mauled by a dog on the radio and went to the hospital to offer his support, now that's being REAL. But.... other than that, Thug Angel fails as much as it succeeds. The young 17/18 year old Tupac interview is great, he's talking about changing the world, making it a better place, talking about giving women respect, once he even heard a guy call a woman the 'B word' as he says, but then the next interview he's high off weed and hennessy and eating pizza and cussing women, it's the total opposite of what he just said and often you will find the stories and messages contradicting themselves a lot. The interviews, especially Treach's camera/bedroom incident are HILARIOUS, this isn't as good as maybe Thug Immortal, but still as Afeni milks Tupac for all he's worth, they still have about 24 hours of footage left to milk out, so expect a few more videos to come.
