O Dog did do that role justice, but how much acting did he really do?

His whole role was being a regular brainless teenager talking and the occasional bucking.

2Pac was psychological. You watched Bishop turn into a complete lunatic. You literally watched him scene by scene delve deeper and deeper into his killer paranoia as the movie goes on.

That talk with breh at the locker, is that Oscar worthy moment.

I feel you on the fact that Tate struck a one-note chord throughout the whole movie, while pac had to display a lil more range in Juice. Thats a good point. Pac also did have some VERY strong scenes, like the aforementioned Locker setting.

But overall, I still maintain that Tate was the stronger performance. Pac may have been hamstrung by the script and lack of strong directorial guidance in Juice (I thought all the performances were lacking, as opposed to menace where the acting was top notch all the way around), but I just felt like he was too showy, a lil too theater --- like I was watching someone acting. Tate is so gritty and grounded --- like a documentary on the life of a black teen psychopath.

Just my opinion.

I love the movie Juice and I thought Pac was electric in that movie, but there was just to much competition that year for Best Supporting Actor. No robbery there. Now, Al Pacino's performance in "Scent of a Woman" beating out Denzel Washington's performance in "Malcolm X" on the other hand? , Academy. That shyt was damn robbery. I realize Denzel already had one Oscar in the bag for "Glory" and Al had been screwed over by the Academy for many years (should've won it for The Godfather...twice), but that was just . Al didn't even have the second best performance of the nominees that year. That second spot belonged to Robert Downey Jr. for "Chaplin".

Ain't nobody hating on 2pac. I praised his performance and called the movie a classic.
