Quotes

Tupac Shakur: I wrote something for you.
[he takes out a piece of paper and reads from it]
Tupac Shakur: You are the Omega of my heart, the foundation for my conception of love. And when I think of what a black woman should be, it's you that I first think of. You will never fully understand how deeply my hear feels for you. I worry that we'll go apart and I'll end up losing you. You bring me to climax without sex, and you do it all with real grace. You are my heart in uniform, a frame that I can never replace.
Jada Pinkett: You ain't even...

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.
