Tupac could have been in Menace II Society?
« on: June 14, 2005, 05:16:30 PM »
I remember vaguely Tupac was being casted for Menace II Society. He got kicked of the set quickly after he ended up in a fist fight with one of the Hughes Brothers. Does anybody have some information on this situation, like what character Tupac was casted for?

Pac was promised to play the part of Caine, in the movie, but then they backed down and he was fired so he beat one of the Hug's Brothers with a baseball bat.

Thanks, couldn't find anything but some quotes. (see below)

I always doubted between O-Dog and Cain.

Amerika's Nightmare or The victim of the system.

Both would have fitted him well.

Imagine how even more legendary the movie would have been with Pac in it:

"Rebel without a cause"

On the other hand: there was a chance Snoop playing a role...

Hughes Brothers wanted Snoop, but didn't dare asking because of Death Row's reputation at the time.

Tupac playing Cain, Snoop playing O-dog?

Or just a Too Short like appearance?

What do you think?

the movie is perfect the way it is, it doesnt need Pac or Snoop. but 2Pac did a good job in "Juice"

I'm thinking it was a role on the lines of the Too $hort appearance, MC Eiht talked about it how Pac was in it in the Source Magazine, before the film came out, but Larenz Tate and Caine were already casted so that's what i remember...or they could have played Chauncy or Pooh-man's character more or less...they just wanted the star power of them to bring more attention to the film i think...remember Ice CUbe's role in The Glass Shield had him on the promo poster's and all but he wasnt even in the like that...

That's real...I don't think Snoop woulda been good in a movie doin any role until like the late 90s anyway. But damn, just the thought of Snoop n Pac in a movie just has you like damn, that shit sounds amazing huh?

I also remember hearin Janet didn't wanna kiss Pac in "Poetic Justice" because she knew he'd been gettin around (just like the song) and she thought he had AIDS or some shit like that.

I agree with that, sometimes i actually prefer it when they use unknown actors, because when its someone famous, i.e snoop dogg (in starsky and hutch), no matter how dressed up he is, hes still Snoop.. celebs are always type casted when they aint actually a proffesional actor, its just like when i look at larenz tate now, all i see is O-Dogg lol

I thought it was O-Dogg too that he was casted to play, but i dont think that he beat any of their asses.. maybe just "exchanged a few words"  ;D

^^^^Lol...true!
But nevertheless, Pac was a good actor and I think he would have made Cain's role even a bit more lively (and let's be honest...Caine's acting wasn't always that good either).
