    i think the movie was done with intricate detail. everything about the movie took you deeper into the life of tupac the person, instead of the monster the media made him out to be. i loved every moment of it. i felt like i knew tupac.

    A masterpiece into the mind of a modern day shakespear. Little do most know that this man was not only one of the best poets of the 20th centuary, but a politcal leader in his own right.

    2Pac is the greatest ever. This is the biggest film comin' out this week. Shows people he was more then just a rapper and trouble maker, he was a good person.

    It's The S***, You've Got To See This Movie. Also Buy The Original Soundtrack [OST] Features Eminem and Outlawz "One Day At a Time", and Digital Underground with" Same Somg". also Fifty Cent & 2Pac Rock it With "The Realist K***az. Both The Movie & Soundtrack are a Great Hit.

    One of the greatest documentaries I have ever seen. What separates this from the rest is the fact that Tupac himself (who died seven years before this was released) narrates his life story and takes us on a powerful journey. From his early days of poverty in Brooklyn all the way to his fatal shooting in Las Vegas in 1996. Loyal Pac fans will love this and those that didn't know too much about the slain rapper will be introduced into a musician many believe to be the greatest of all time. Expand

    Takes a look at the man’s entire life and grants us an eye-opening look inside his brain. And now that the supposed be-all-end-all documentary has been made, let’s let the guy get some f----- rest, okay?
  2. A poet warrior of the first order emerges in this riveting chronicle of the brief life and times of rap superstar Tupac Shakur.
  3. 75
    Lazin's remarkable achievement is to catch Tupac in the act of discovering himself. It's something to see.
