Trivia

John Singleton was originally supposed to direct the film, but the studio and Singleton couldn't agree on how Tupac was to be portrayed in the film. Singleton eventually left the project completely but has since stated that he still hopes to make his own film about Tupac on his own terms some day. He was also the only director to have been given Afeni Shakur's full blessing to tell her son's story. Afeni Shakur Davis died on 2 May 2016, aged 69 from a heart attack, thirteen months before the release of the film.

Quotes

Afeni Shakur: I'm worried about...
Tupac Shakur: Ain't nothing to be worried about.
Afeni Shakur: Like all Black leaders you have a bullseye on your back and today it just got bigger.
Tupac Shakur: But I ain't no Black leader! Not yet!
Afeni Shakur: And how are you not a Black leader! The Vice President was just talking about you on the TV! Baby, you have to understand with The Panthers it wasn't that we had guns or black leather, it was because of our message. We were transforming minds.

User Reviews

Incredibly disappointing

This movie was hyped to be a wonderfully poignant look at an epic entertainer who made his mark on the world. It is extremely disappointing. With the exception of Tupac's mother, there is very little character development. Scenes are very rushed and end up seeming random, incomplete and not well interconnected. The movie jumps all over the place without developing the story line well. There are a load of "era" errors -- cars, cell phones, brands, etc... that weren't even around when Tupac was, but are all over in the film. This was just generally a horrible fail of a movie.

I was holding out a great deal of hope and left feeling like my 11 years old could have told the story better - by simply reading a book about Tupac.

This movie is a downright disgrace. There were so many ways it could have been better. It is shameful that this was even released. I really was hoping and expecting to at least be entertained. This movie just completely misses the mark.

It is a waste of time to view this movie. You will never get that time back. Just don't do it. Ya, it's that bad.
