she was Murder INC, anybody down with them = enemy to 50 and he's that petty to the point even a decade later anybody that's friends with them is his enemy too lol
I did notice too in the Breakfast Club interview LT's energy shifted when they brought up 50 getting the rights to the BMF story for his TV show, also ironic how Bleu Davinci is in All Eyez On Me :laugh:

I'll have to disagree. All Eyez was so disappointing to me. It was basically a made-for-cable movie. Pac deserved better.

cable movie is a stretch but I'll admit I did expect a little more, at the same time I took it for what it was and I think overall they still did a good job, I'm sure once it comes out on DVD there will be a longer director's cut like every other movie that drops... in terms of the story-line and sticking to the facts it trumps Get Rich Or Die Trying, Notorious, and Straight Outta Compton unquestionably

Gonzoe did songs with pac right? Still he'd be crazy to think he'd be mentioned. Spice 1 would get mentioned before the whole dogg pound 2nd draft.
Sccit:
gonzoe is pretty weird

Get Rich or Die Trying should not even be considered part of the conversation. That falls in line with something like 8-Mile. They aren't biopics, they are fictional films loosely based on the lives of their stars. You may think cable movie is a stretch but given the strength of how cable films are produced, these days, I don't. I think both this and Notorious have cable movie production values. Straight Outta Compton has a lot of the same script problems as the other two but they hired an accomplished director and spent their money in all the right places.
Sticking to facts is almost a moot point when you're not using them to enhance the narrative of the movie. All Eyez is the worst offender to this in terms of not having a cohesive vision. We know Dre wasn't the hard ass who stood up to Suge in the Death Row offices in "Straight Outta Compton" but for the purposes of the story, it's at least consistent with the direction they are going. Movies (even documentaries) use creative license. That's just the reality of the medium. As long as they are consistent with the story they tell, I'm good.
As far as sticking to facts, I don't exactly think All Eyez is the gold standard to be held to either. Jada has already come out and said that nearly everything portrayed in the film about her and Pac's relationship was made up for the movie. This would be fine if it played a bigger part in whatever they were going for but I never quite understood it myself. It feels like the only reason they put her in the movie is because it's a fun coincidence that two kids who met each other in art school as nobodies end up becoming two of the biggest stars in the entertainment industry. Their relationship doesn't drive the film. She's essentially there because she was famous. Pac's relationship with Dre is another fabricated holdover from Straight Outta Compton. They were business acquaintances who created a hit song together and then had a bitter falling out. This movie makes it seem like Dre left and Tupac didn't even know about it. In reality, he was the mouthpiece for Suge during Dre's departure. The events surrounding the sexual assault case and trial also great differ from the public testimonies of both Pac and his accuser.
If people are looking for a good film about Pac, go with Tupac: Resurrection. It cuts out all the melodrama with actors stopping to mug for the camera in the middle of chaotic poverty, violence, and/or injustice to give these contrived Oscar clips as if the real people thought there was a historical stenographer hiding behind them with a typewriter. Resurrection shows the importance of Pac and lets him speak in his own words. This movie, by comparison, was made by people who either didn't understand what made Tupac unique or weren't willing to battle to get those aspects up on the screen.

To me, "Tupac : Resurection" will always be the best 2PAC biopic.
