2pac Was A Better Actor Than Rapper - Confessions

www.hypeplustv.com/ - Tupac Shakur is easily regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all-time however fans of Tupac would know how talented he was. One of 2Pac's most notable talent was that of an actor and for some who have watched Juice, Above The Rim, Poetic Justice, Gang Related and more would agree that he was a better actor than hip-hop emcee.

Pac shined in Acting, Rapping & Speaking truth to Power.. Can't really say he did one better than others.. He was an entertainer, philosopher, poet.. Equally..

[@jmbanko]

I totally agree! Obviously, PAC was best at political insight on this country which is why he had to leave too soon! Let Garth Brooks or any of those people get gun down on the streets of Vegas the world would stop until someone goes to jail. Ijs! Tupac was a whole movement a vibe that was awakening our people! This man was before his time and to say his movies were better is a gross understatement!! His lyrics are what moved the people and should be remembered and respected!

[@KyleBeatz]

Tupac is a true thespian. No one has surpassed Tupac's work ethic in rap. Pacs rap work ethic and ability to drop verses during that time period was second to none. How anyone can discredit that man, years if not decades after his death. Tupac is a legend.

Pac haters: “yeah he tried to be that Bishop character they created for him smh ..” Juice producer himself: “Bishop comes from Tupac’s actual personality. we saw him get into a heated debate with a racist Cab Driver & the energy/passion that came from him, we knew we had to get HIM to play this character.”

[@fruitpac]

and that doesn't take away from the fact Pac curated his image around Bishop and other men that he wa around. 2Pacalypse Now was a dud whne it first came out but Pac got more attention from playing Bishop.

If he lived, I do think he would have won an Oscar. His roles in Poetic Justice, Above the Rim, Juice, and his appearance on A Different World are some of the best acting roles I've seen to date. Thank you for doing this mini deep dive and reminding us that he was a trained actor.

[@romegrey2600]

Pac would've won an Oscar as an actor and tbh he showed way more upside as an actor then Will Smith showed early on. Another reason why his death was such a tragedy

[@HakeemTheDream616]

Hard to say of he would've become a better actor than Will who is a 3 time Oscar nominee, and 1 time winner, but who knows? 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@fruitpac]

But Pac been taking acting classes since he was a teenager so head had a jumpstart before any rapper turned actor. Similar to Mos Def and Mos Def hasn't won a Oscar.

[@TheAlkebulanTrust]

Now this is comedy 🤣 what kind of opinion is that. 2Pac was just as good of rapper as he was an actor. 2Pac is so good at rapping that the man is a course in some universities. 2Pac was so good at rapping that clearly he saw it as effortless banging out several songs in one day and still when you hear them you can hear the emotions and cadence. You feel every part of his songs. If you don't you're clearly not human.

[@bossplayermfs5972]

Pac was a phenomenal rapper that sold millions of records he had his own style and Gen X’ers all the way down to Gen Z’s stay playing his music. He was a decent actor but to say he was better at that than rapping is remedial str8 🆙 rest in power to 2 Pac #ThugLife #Killuminati #Makaveli #Goat

That is what makes 2pac a very intriguing and interesting human being and the reason he's still being discussed and analysed today. He was a very multifaceted person. He was a lot of things. Most rappers are one dimensional but 2pac wasn't. Tupac has become a cultural icon like Bruce Lee or Bob Marley. Not your average rapper. A lot of rappers have died but they don't get talked about or mentioned like 2pac.

[@joshuamcdowell9745]

If Pac would have stayed at Baltimore School of the Arts, his life would have been different. He moved to Oakland and ended up dropping out of high school and started selling drugs. That school gave him an outlet to expressed himself and kept him from getting caught up in what was around him. If he was able to complete his senior year and graduate, he probably would have gotten accepted into a college of great prestige like Yale School for Drama or maybe even Howard University. Pac loved Shakespeare. I could have seen him on Broadway.

[@brandonlee0071]

This video is very important because even all his closest peoples, the ones who REALLY knew him, vouched that he was more so kind, intelligent and gentle soul. The thuglife script was definitely part of an act, not saying he wasn't "tough" or anything, but his thug persona isn't what made him hard. It was how big his heart was. And honestly, I think.Tupac was, in a sense, trying to expose the industry with that because if TUPAC was putting on an act, imagine how many others in industry do the same...R.i.p to Tupac 🙏🏾

I've always agreed with this statement. Pac was impactful as a rapper, but would have been the ABSOLUTE best actor of any of the hip-hop stars of that era. He likely would have gone toe-to-toe with the greatest actors of the generation.

[@oliviah.4741]

But you gotta understand that Pac wasn’t just rapping as a ‘Thug’. He had range as a lyricist as well. He rap about the streets bc he was of that life and been thru that life, but he rapped about black social injustice and classism/ economic injustice. He was the most influential poet of that time. Yes, he can act but spoken word was his calling, and he said that himself. Just got wrapped up in petty drama that he is gone too soon.

[@chrisgreen177]

TuPac Shakur was a "Triple Threat", and that's why "Them People's" had a problem with him. His music had a focused message, his philosophy had an overall message, but to see him become big "on screen" where the entire world could actually SEE him posed a threat to "The Powers That Be", who feared he would become more and more popular, and more and more people would search him out and discover the messages he'd given throughout just the short span of his music career. Pac was yet another cautionary tale of prominent black men who refuse to "tow the line" of a narrative that has been destroying our young men, women and communities, being taken out or neutralized.

[@tiffanyreene7955]

2 films!? Pac had 6 lead roles in film and guest starred on other shows before he died. (Juice, above the rim, poetic Justice, bullet, gridlock, and gang related). Yes, it was a great actor as well as rapper. I wouldn’t say one over the other. Both were his outlets. I do think if he was alive today, he would be more like ice cube (in the sense of actively doing music and movies) and not picking one or the other.

[@TTSantiago821]

No one was a threat like him on that mic and on camera. He was equally talented at both. Granted he would have been more successful as an actor simply because of the industry, not his talent. Movie stars make more than a rapper just rapping. Rappers have to be more diversified to see a pay day like an A list actor which is what Pac was.

I learned along time ago that people will see you how they need to see you to re-enforce thier own inadequacies. If you need Tupac to be a better actor than rapper so you can feel better about your own self image as a person,then so be it. Just know that it doesn't make it true just cause you have a platform to say it. Weak people will always find fault in the strength of others.The worse thing you can do to a coward is eliminate all the excuses not to fight.
