Around the way girl.
It was also crazy and coincidental how John Singleton almost predicted that shyt. He made that comment to reporters, and within the hour is when shyt started poppin off

I'm 
enough to actually remember when most of this stuff happened...Still was cool to see a review and hear some details that I overlooked..
Pac was that dude..Singleton and Columbia pictures were trying to keep him locked down, but he bounced with Kool G. Rap and went and started bustin his gun, kicking up dust and signing autographs with the looters..
Couldn't imagine many rappers from this current era gettin down like that...

I was eight in Brooklyn watching the riots pop off. I remember when they pulled the white guy out the truck and bashed his head in, thinking I just saw a man murdered on live on TV.
I always wondered where Pac was during this. John Singleton said he was filming Poetic Justice at the time, and he had to physically stop him from going to participate. But, Pac producer homeboy said they drove up to the riot during the night time. Crazy Pac was shooting through the sunroof, and signed autographs to the looters who came out the record store with his CDs.
The Latasha Harlin backstory was chilling. I always wondered who this girl Pac referenced in his music so much was. The Korean lady getting probation for blowing the girls brain out was insane. Just like those white pigs getting acquitted after being videotaped of beating a non-violent man.
Latashas story made me understand the Menace II Society scene better with Cane, O-Dog, and the racist Korean store owners. Just like in Brooklyn how the Arabs had a monopoly on the corner stores in the hood, I see the Koreans too owned every store in the hood. Seeing the Koreans trying to protect their property by firing back at the community was sick.
I dont know what good the riots did for the community. It would have been more epic if the community had mobilized to the rich area and burnt their shyt down,
Anyway, it was a dope documentary. Even Nasty Nas makes an appearance.
