• Europe / Middle East LOVE Hip Hop & black rap artists. Unfortunately they think all Blacks are the stereotype.

  • That’s actually true most of the time.

  • lol. Mackie isn’t even worthy of playing Pac’s left nut.

    • @ Mike–clearly you have no taste…who do you think should do it? the talentless columbus short? Mackie will bring a depth that only a trained and honest actor can bring with respect to such a story as this one

• sleep with dogs wake up with fleas.

  check with your guild before signing anything with Morgan Creek.

  A man without honor is not a man.

  • The overwhelming majority of Morgan Creek’s residual obligations are paid directly to the various guilds by Universal and Warner, on Morgan Creek’s behalf. Check your facts.

• I can say from personal experience that there are plenty of white homies in Australia, and Tupac is their God. And yes, they look every bit the Ali G stereotype.

• It fucking 2pac. He is a God in the rap world. People around the world love him and I am 100% sure Fuqua will do his story justice.

• Put this guy to bed…

  if he (or biggie) were alive today, they’d be just another sad sack like puffy tying to hold onto the dream.

• Why are you calling them “white homies”?? Don’t know if you notice or not, but rap/rnb music is the most dominate music in the states and all over the world. It’s not just white homies feelin it playa. F all of this stereotype racist negative comment talk. Every commercial has rap music in the background. Except it ot shut-up and stop being bigots. You think minorities watch all of these movies and TV shows and see nothing but white folks and make negative comments. No, we support it and watch it. It is what it is. Urban music
  dominates (performed by a minority or white person). It’s the way life is. Enjoy the tupac biopic

• More proof America is behind the times.
  They no hip hop in Indonesia, Cuba, Saudi Arabia even Israel.

  Tupac is on t shirts in Habana.

  They did Notorious first. So the market was already broken up.

  $300 hundred million first weekend worldwide.

  • “$300 hundred million first weekend worldwide.”

    Are you talking about album sales? Because NOTORIOUS only made $40M total.

    Also, NOTORIOUS was the East Coast’s answer to 2003′s TUPAC: RESURRECTION. So no, they did not do Notorious first.

    • A doc is a doc is a doc. Tupac I was a doc.

      Notorious was a feature film.

      And as they say the west coast/east coast BS died with both of them.

      As for my numbers.

      $70 million North America opening weekend.
      Simultaneous release
      Europe $120 million.They really do like black people in Germany.

      Japan, China, Korea and SE Asia- 95 million plus

      And then we get to Africa and the Mideast another 50 million plus.

• Don’t try to compare these guys to puffy. No one has ever called him the greatest rapper or even a good one for that matter.

  • Puffy, Pac, B.I.G. —

    they all suck(ed).

    Thank God for Rock N’ Roll!

    • I am a huge fan of rock n roll. However, for you to say BIG and Pac sucked is ridiculous.

• Just what we need, Patient Zero for the down-low/jailhouse/homothug culture. Look at the state of black youth today and it can all be traced back to “thug life.” Peeps quote this guy like he actually did something for black people yet real civil right heroes are largely forgotten in 2011. Chuck D where are you when we need you
