This was real, Marlon captured a lot in a 1minute 30seconds clip:ohhh: Everything changed so fast, Pac was self aware enough to know his life had spiralled out of control but either he felt he could do nothing about it, or a part of him wanted to go. Sad either way:francis:

It seems that he missed his younger care free days when he used hang around and fool around with those guys.

It's sad how he died. I always think that if he had the chance to live at least one more year, he would've matured so much and left the bullshyt aside

RIP
I don't know. Surviving more shots from Bad Boy affiliates would NOT have made him a more peaceful mature guy. I don't see it. He would have been worse.

I'm not specifically talking about gett!ng shot in Vegas and surviving. In that case, you might be right

But I'm talking in general. Now than I'm older than he was when he died, I can see that he really did not have the time to mature. From the rape case, to his death, Pac had no time out and he was mad young. Dude kept running into issues.

One more year could've help him cool down and grew up again. And Pac waw wiser than the average. Maybe he would've even left Suge dumb ass

exactly how did the Hughes brothers play him? They offered him a role in a their film that he didn't like, That was THEIR FILM. They can design the character any way they want. Laurence Fishburne didn't like certain things about Do the Right Thing(that I agree with) so he respectfully declined . There was no fight or assault.
Hold up breh what didn't Fishbourne like about do the right thing and what role was he up for ????

This right here.

Shock G said the same, at one point. Pac went from being with Digital Underground and just having fun and partying with mad chicks, to being around a lot of nonsense and drama. And you always got the feeling that that life wasn't really who he was. And the people who knew him best always said that. He didn't belong around that kind of energy. So I feel what Marlon is saying. Pac probably wanted to escape and get back to the life he knew before.

He was supposed to be Radio Raheem. He turned it down because he didn't understand why they would burn down an establishment that had been in the black community for that long and then avoid burning down the korean store. It was some shyt like that he said and I somewhat agree. But Wesley was supposed to be in it too(he was filming Major League), and spike wanted Deniro as Sal and Matt Dillon as Pino.

I think DeNiro also passed because of the ending. But the ending is supposed to make you think about why Mookie--who knew Sal better than probably everyone in the neighborhood since he worked with him--threw the trash can. The ending is perfect.

And this isn't a slight on either actor, but they ended up with great performances as is, so it ended up for the better. I can't see Raheem or Sal as anyone else now.

You forgot about the kid getting killed in Marin too. I think that haunted him inside
He felt terrible about that. Pac was suicidal after everything that was happening.

He wrote fukk the world on his forehead and had a loaded gun held to his head. I think jasmine guy walked in on him. This was after the quad situation while he was recovering from the shooting.

Even Pac missed the happy-go-lucky Pac :francis: . Yes, he was a rebel, yes he did Hail Mary, and beefed with Biggie, but I guarantee you...deep inside, Pac missed the days of the Underground.

If he could have gotten paid for the positive, introspective, and goofy moments...versus the war on my enemies/Hennessy Death Row days, I guarantee you that he would have still been with us :mjcry: .

Heads forever shytting on my stance that 2Pacalypse Now is the best album he has ever put out IMO next to MATW, but dude felt more genuine than he did riding on his enemies :francis:
I definitely think 2Pacalypse Now gets underrated.What was it, 13 tracks? I believe close to half of them could've been singles.
