facts

[@Jeff_Thomas]

2pac=GOAT...Pac wrote and recorded "7 Day Theory" in 3 days. And during those 3 days, he recorded 21 songs. That's 7 songs a day...He finished "All Eyes On Me" in 2 weeks. He wrote "Hail Mary" in 30 mins. As a matter of fact, he released 3 classic albums in 1 year. And "All Eyez on Me" was a double album, which is considered two albums. So that really 4 albums in 1 year...No rapper in history has ever made classics that fast...Plus, Pac never had a Dr. Dre, Rick Rubin, Just Blaze, Kanye West, or Timberland who are argueably some of the best hip hop producers ever. Also, in 5 years, Pac created 17 years worth of material. If that's not the GOAT, i don't know what is....One more thing, at 25, Pac had 5 classic albums under his belt...Tell me how many your favorite rapper today had at 25....And name one song by these top guys today that is as deep as Tupac's "Blasphemy"....Plus, Pac have 7 of the most influential songs in Rap History when you look at "Keep Your Head Up", "Dear Mama", "Hit'em Up", "Hail Mary", "I Get Around", "Brenda's Got a Baby", and "Pour Out a Lil Liquor".....No rapper matches that résumé.... Jay, Em, and Nas are nice, but they have a long way to go before they reach Pac level.... And if we gone talk about who's the king right now, in 20 years Em put out 3 classic albums...In 20 years Jay put out 5 classic albums...In 20 years Em has two classic hip hop songs that's respected across the board, "Lose Yourself" and "Stan"....Jay has "Dead Presidents II", "Hard Knock Life", "Empire State of Mind", "DOA", "99 Problems", and "Dirt of Your Shoulders"....In 20 years Em has sold 150 million records, and by his own admission he said that he would of sold half if he was black. So that 75 million records....Jay has sold 100 million records....So when you put the facts on the table, its easy to see Jay is king today....

[@kingsavage5832]

To me, it was at least 3 characters in the movie 2Pac woulda fit in portraying, which were Caine, O-Dog & Sharif.. And I guess in Pac's view at that time, it was pretty unrealistic for someone who's highly religious to surround themselves around a bunch of gangbangers, drug dealers & killas.

[@DeSch0ft]

@@kingsavage5832 But Pac was like that as well. He wasn't a gangbanger, just wanted to affiliate with them at the time because he had security. Don't get me wrong, Pac was hard but was never a real G. A lot of times he was playing a character.

The dude shot at the feds, how many gangbangers really shoot at police? They usually only shot each other. Never at the police. Capo Micheal Franzese. A mafia member of the Columbo crime family, went to medical school before dropping out. He never ever shot at the police.. Pac was gangster. He never grassed, he was shot, never wore a vest on stage ( 50 cent did lol ) went to the crip’s territory by himself after an altercation between him and them and a friend to squash the beef. He was always strapped! Even allegedly on the ambulance ride to the hospital on the night of his fatal shooting, his last words to the police where F you when they asked him did you see who shot you.

I have studies screenwriting, directing, cinematography, and color theory for more than ten years so I think I can speak on this subject.

Maybe he was drunk or high, but his motivation for wanting to know the backstory of his character is sound.

Caine's narration in the movie was "Sharif was an ex-knucklehead-turned-Muslim..." That's all we needed to know. Leaving it up to our imagination as to why. The only one we needed details on was Caine himself because he was the lead character. Sharif was a supporting character.

[@BlaydeAlabama]

Right but like he said he had just did a movie with Janet Jackson. And bishop was so huge he could "just" be Sharif. He felt bigger. I think he would have killt the role because it is how he was raised.

and no one cares about sharif almost 30 years later. I wonder why. But look at how people feel about Ricky in boyz in da hood. Just because your a secondary character doesnt mean you dont need development. Thats lazy writing

[@jonathanakerele8006]

"They didn't want him in the movie!" That's messed up, man. I guess the Hughes Brothers had something against 2Pac or his lack of conformity so maybe that's why they assigned him the role of Sharif rather than just deciding not to cast him or call him in for readings. Since he had such a close bond with Jada from their performing arts school days it would have been cool if the Hughes Brothers had been more open minded and been willing to cast Pac as Caine since that character was romantically involved with Jada's Ronnie character in the film. I think their onscreen chemistry would have been something else!

[@seeehorn]

All of you who think MC Eiht is disrespecting Tupac here need to realize that several people who worked with and are close with Pac have said similar things about Tupac being somewhat phony and someone who can flip out very easily. Tyrin Turner (Caine in Menace II Society), Jermaine Hopkins and Omar Epps(who starred in Juice with Pac) have all given first hand accounts of Pac causing problems on movie sets because he would be angry or too playful during the readings and filming. MC Eiht mentions here that the Hughes Brothers directed 3 of Pac's videos and did not want to work with him in a movie because of his behavior. Shock G from Digital Underground has also said in interviews that Pac changed when he watched himself playing Bishop in the screening for Juice. Shock G thought Pac wanted to be like the character Bishop in real life. Remember MC Eiht said in another Vlad interview that "Pac Went Backwards By Affiliating Himself With Gangs." Wanting to be like Bishop probably played a big part on why he wanted to be a gangsta. It's unfortunate because Afeni and Mutulu Shakur instilled righteous/uplifting the black community values in Pac when he was growing up, but Pac allowed the entertainment industry's money and fame to get him off that righteous path, and it eventually led to him being gunned down and killed in 1996!!

[@MemrYou]

I feel it. But he was only 21-22 or whatever at that time, he was still trying to find himself. The way Tupac was, he wouldn't let nobody run over him and if he didn't like something he spoke up and said something! That's from being raised in a Black panther house hold. That Attitude turned into ThugLife.

[@seeehorn]

+Me Mr. Who? GREAT point!! I'll admit to being overly critical of Tupac because he spoke out of both sides of his mouth and to me, that came across as hypocritical/2-faced. I also thought he had too much intelligence to act the way he did sometimes. I need to remind myself that he was only in his early 20's when he first became famous, and died at 25. None of us are/were a finished product in our early to mid 20's

He attempted to turn his message from Black Panther, to a more Thugged out point of view. That aint fake. Thats some TRUE ASS shit. In the process, he made enemies due to this. Enemies he wouldve never made had he stayed on the "black power lets all unite" tip, but he knew that route wouldnt have touched everybody he wanted to. Mfs overlook that.

[@ilyesabdel1801]

The reason why Tupac rejected to play his role in Menace II Society because the directors were forcing him to play the role of a "Muslim Gangster". Even though Tupac was not Muslim he felt uncomfortable to take on the role because he believed the role was "Unrealistic" and would be "Offensive" to others. Due to his high respect for other's belief Pac put his career on the line and rejected the $ 100,000 movie role.

[@seand67]

Wow, very informative. Great interview

[@rooroodamoonman]

They forgot Yo-Yo she was in it too

[@nomibe2911]

The backdrop of this story is that the movie would've never been greenlighted had Tupac not been associated with the movie. The Hughes brother is on record saying the producers wanted Tupac in the movie and Tupac gave them permission to use his name to secure the funds for that movie. Tupac had more power over what role he could play and actually out of respect for his relationship with John Singleton requested to have a minor role in the movie. He has an interview talking about this and how he viewed his partnership with Singleton as akin to Scorcese and De Niro and did not want to have a major role with another director. I think upon getting his small role he felt reservations about not only the small role but the subservient image it portrayed and constantly complained and wanted tweaks to be made to the character. One of the Hughes brothers said they kept firm about not changing that character and that's when Tupac showed his frustration by showing up late and refusing to wear make up and being quiet during their rehearsals.

[@fondel6147]

That's in addition to the fact that 2Pac felt the Sharif role wasn't an accurate portrayal of a young black male in a crew like that. If the Hughes brothers had tried to mediate orsimply not lead with their ego it likely would have went down different.

[@Irregular_maintenance]

Tupac was playing a character his whole career, if you people dont remember he was wearing a tutu and his younger years and was dancing with Digital Underground in the beginning of his career. That doesnt mean his music was garbage, but he got caught up in a image and ultimately payed the price for it.

[@Carlos-od7jr]

He also let them put him in the tub and cover his private parts up with jewelry or gold but I do remember he was in ballet just saying Thug Life

[@deelove7518]

Try getting robbed and shot and backstabbed and let's see if it doesn't change you. Y'all silly mf keep saying that but guess what? How many guys you know shot at the undercovers?

[@sinematic06]

Salute to MC Eiht...but please just give this man a glass of water so he can continue this interview properly.

[@edeck889]

Tupac was a passionate artist, sadly Hollywood and those who want to play that game will never understand artists like him, Marlon Brando and the other rebels in the art world

[@SuperOmnicronsj44]

Yeah, except Marlon Brando out lived him .. he was a victim of HIS choices, period. He didnt even wear a VEST and EVERYBODY was Bad Boy as well as Death Row did at that time.

[@piiinkbabi]

Jae Brice nope

[@jonathanakerele8006]

2Pac did that song "Do 4 Love" with the lyric about a girl trying to trap him by saying she's pregnant and he's the daddy which further sounds like he would have put so much energy into being Caine if he had been cast for that role instead of Sharif. He would have just gone off on the phone conversation with Erin Wiley and put so much raw anger and defiance into his lines.

[@yaboikobe]

That makes perfect sense, Pac being a visionary wanted it to make sense on film. He probably couldn't identify with the character. Not going to lie, hearing this makes me feel like the Hughes brothers were whack for not being able to work that sitcho out, but everything happens for a reason though. Thank you to MC Eiht for being MC Eiht. We need that real shit.

[@stainerz16]

Just like pac said, there ain’t no such thing as a ‘Muslim Gangster’ 💯🕌

[@razalasreficul6902]

That's like saying there's no such thing as a Christian gangster, a Jewish gangster, a Buddhist gangster, an atheist gangster, a heterosexual gangster, a gay gangster. Just because you don't want to associate with such people, doesn't mean they don't belong to the same ethnic/social/religious group as you. So yes, if a person believes in the teachings of the quran and the pedophile prophet, they're a Muslim, like it or not.
