This is true. This for all the people saying "Why can they make a great Malcolm X film, but Pac's a sacred calf? What's so special about him, that isn't special about Malcolm?" it isn't so much that Pac is the sacred calf, it's just that the people that Pac beefed with(besides the street guys like Haitian Jack, Jimmy Henchman, and the Southside Compton Crips) are all still BIG names in the industry. And they all have lawyers, attorneys and whatnot who have the power to sue the LIFE out of the studios, or directors who would make a Pac film that would REALLY in-depth about the conflicts he had with other artist(including those on Death Row).
Fact of the matter is, SOOOOOO much info was leaked and shared via the internet age in late-90's/early-00's after 2Pacs death. When the Malcolm film came out, there were no internet forums in 1992 where everyday people can discuss the intricacies of Malcolms life, and theories about his assassination, the same way there was after Pac died. Bottom line, there's too much info and theories out there for people to be satisfied with a Pac film that is beholden to the politics of Hollywood and the music industry at large.
If Spike Lee cameout with that Malcolm X film TODAY, in the internet age, you think that film would be as well-received as it once was? In 1992, the fact that Malcolm X had a feature film made about his life, was enough. But today, I think folks would pick apart that film and say that Spike was trying to make the film palatable for a White audience.
Riiight riiight thats the reason
..vs you know, REAL outing REAL POLITICIANS, A REAL BLACK MOVEMENT (Black Panther is a real one but 2pac was NOT no fukking politician nor did HE do much but be a RAP ENTERTAINER. His family is different) & RACIAL INJUSTICE or RELIGIOUS GROUPS (ala Ali, Malcolm, etc etc etc) is cool tho..but no no..what RAP ENTERTAINER 2pac's friends/ex friends lawyers etc will say is what it is..yup

We don't needs cradle to the grave PAC movie. Maybe just focus on certain Time periods. Maybe his digital underground kufi period to his death row affiliation. That whole transitions. Should probably be a horror movie, a Mulholland Drive for rap. Haily Mary is a horror song to me, do something like that in film form.

Did you even read what I wrote? Or did you just come in here to spew the typical "Pac was just an entertainer YALL. D-D-DON'T COMPARE HIM TO MALCOLM!!" Imma say it again. Pac himself ISN'T the sacred calf. It's the folks that hold weight that would SUE THE LIFE out of the studios if they were to go in-depth into what Pac felt at the time towards those folks. The Afeni Estate would get sued by those hitters. It was already made known by the mainstream media WHO killed Malcolm, and WHY they killed Malcolm. Nothing about Spike Lee's Malcolm film was new info. A Pac film in this internet age in which there have been a thousand documentaries about his assassination and in which multiple people have been implicated would leave too much room for speculation, and too many people would being implicated in stuff. When you make a film about one of the biggest cold-cases in entertainment history, and alot of the folks who have been implicated are still big names in the entertainment industry, it's ALOT more difficult to make that film, than it is to make a film about an activist in which his killers have already been arrested. Unless you guys just want another Hip-Hop film in which Suge Knight(yet again) is made to be the scapegoat........
But be forreal who's toes did Spike Lee step on when he made the Malcolm X film? He was very cognizant of the waters he was treading.
