I don't know why someone would want own this, but I really don't get why someone would want it after it's been restored. Cool to see it pop up though. I'll be honest when I say I went down a wormhole at one point trying to find it. It had basically disappeared after the police lot. http://www.tmz.com/2017/02/26/tupac-death-bmw-car-for-sale/# http://jalopnik.com/you-can-own-the-bmw-7-series-tupac-was-shot-in-for-only-1792807749
Read from bottom up. 9:37 p.m. Four inductees are done. Three to go. It's now Journey's turn! The crowd instantly erupted when their highlight reel flashed onto the big screen. 9:31 p.m. Snoop Dogg is performing now in Tupac's honor. 9:25 p.m. Alicia Keys is on stage by performing several Tupac songs in his honor. She highlights his hit California Love. 9:24 p.m. Snoop Dogg accepts Tupac's induction on his behalf by exclaiming, "Thug life!" 9:17 p.m. Snoop Dogg is the first person to drop an "F bomb" while describing Tupac as gangster. He labeled him as "the greatest rapper of all time" and a "homeboy." Snoop Dogg also explained that Tupac is actually the person who got him "smoking blunts" while growing up. Snoop then brought the house down with laughter when telling a story about the time he went parasailing with Tupac and Suge Knight. 9:15 p.m. Snoop Dogg is now on stage to formally induct Tupac. This September will mark 21 years since Tupac was murdered. 9:13 p.m. It's Tupac Shakur's turn. He's the fourth inductee of the night.
I've seen a couple scenes and I am not a fan of the actors presence at all. He certainly looks like PAC and maybe I've got it wrong and he pulls it out in more of the film, but at this point I am really skeptical.
I'm all about sacrificing appearance for performance here. Pac was a larger than life personality and that' needs to be the most important thing that comes across here.
i thought anthony mackie was great in notorious but it has been years since i have seen that movie so maybe i am just misremembering
I don't remember him being in the enough scenes to really tell how well he could play it. I only remember him hanging out the window spitting.
They got it right. Obviously it could have been 12 hours long but they found ways to touch on everything they needed to. They showed where he came from and why he was the way he was. Spent a little too much on the Death Row days but that was expected. We all know the story so there's nothing ground breaking in it but seeing it all on film was cool.
I couldn't care less. Honestly I'm not surprised at all. I don't see the average RT user being a Tupac fan. I'm not going to say it's going to win an Oscar or anything but I think Pac fans will like it.
If you're going to see the movie, watch this interview before you go. It plays a key role in the first half of the movie.
Why wouldn't the average RT user at least be somewhat of a fan of an icon like Tupac? That seems like terrible logic.
One of the one sentence reviews I saw in a commercial said it was a "top 10 movie in June." They're really setting the bar high.
I think the average user on RT is under 30 years old. He's been dead for over 20 years so I don't think the average user experienced his life. They may have read about it afterwards or may appreciate his music but it's different when you see things you remember from your high school days playing on the screen. Like when he got shot in NYC, that was a huge deal to me at the time. I would hurry home from school daily to get an update on his trial. A guy that's 25 today wasn't born when those things happened.

The abysmal reviews are from critics, but regardless, you don't have to live through things for a biopic to be compelling. I imagine it's just an awful movie.
Agreed but I think a biopic is better if you lived through the original. You disagree? That's cool. If you want to listen to RT guys and not see the movie, that's cool too. Me personally, I don't look for others to tell me if a movie was good or not.
Well I merely question your assertion that they got it right...it seems like they couldn't have possibly gotten it wrong to you considering reviewers overwhelmingly call it a vapid turd.
You're telling me that my opinion about a movie that I have seen is wrong when you haven't seen the movie. Never change. I won't be responding to you again. I refuse to let you ruin this thread.
I get where dbl is coming from being that I'm a big fan and just want to see it played out. I'm also a movie fan so I want it to be good. There's absolutely no way I watch a movie that has a 19% on RT
Yea...it simply has to be abysmal. Given the subject matter if it isn't completely terrible you'd think it'd have something around 60%+
Being a big fan of the subject, you won't watch a movie bc of what others say? Seems odd to me. I'll watch something and make my own opinion. I don't really care what others think about it.
I watched all 30 YouTube videos of this interview the other day. Lots of first hand info from the horses mouth about that entire time period
I fucking knew it https://www.courier-journal.com/sto...hakur-kentucky-unemployment-claim/3039429001/ Gov. Andy Beshear apologizes to Tupac Shakur over Kentucky coronavirus unemployment claim
He was honestly an exceptionally great thinker. Especially for a (23 year old in this vid) high school drop out musician. And shit hasn't changed that much since 94.
Interview of the man that claims to have shot Pac in 1994 at Quad Studios in NYC... which would lead you down a rabbit hole about Brooklyn street legends Jacques “Haitian Jack” Agnant, James “Jimmy Henchmen” Rosemond, and Walter “King Tut” Johnson.
I never looked into the quad shooting in regards to exactly who did it before, but it's an important part of the whole deal. Pac was obviously fine with Biggie, entering the building to go see him, but not from that point forward thanks to jimmy (who is doing life for conspiracy to kill someone in G unit).
