A few more breh

Temptations
Respect (Aretha)
Elvis shyt
James Brown
Freddy Mercury
Selena
Tina Turner with Angela Bassett

Even the Biggie movie was better

Biggie movie sucked. Why Do Fools Fall In Love was dope too. La Bamba one of the GOATS. Oh yea The Jackson's American Dream.

I never knew Dear Mama was a riff off from "The Spinners" Sadie.

Just Beautiful.

I wonder if Jasmine Guy was still shooting "A Different World" during the time Pac was recovering. I never knew in real time that they were cool like that.

I remember all of this going on in real time. MTV did a whole week of 2pac news but funny, it wasn't as big of news as it would have been today. In real time, this trial wasn't big big around the country. All Eyes were not on his trial,

I'm not saying this to throw shade or anything, I'm saying this because of how today if a star of his energy would get into some trouble like he has been, how would their career would have been.

All of these cases he was catching around the country, went under the radar to the masses. Even that cop shooting was not a big thing around the country. Today that situation would have been crazy.

Didnt A Different World end in 1993? So i doubt it.

there's going to be a certain amount of bias in this because the hughes brothers hold a grudge against 2Pac for beating they ass lol

I believe either Suge, Puffy, Snoop or 2Pac was fukking Jasmine Guy

[NO-BadAzz]

It seems like the Pac and Biggie docs, movies, books, and specials are endless.
I'm wondering what else do we need to know at this point,

there's no new info on Biggie. Lets be real....he wasn't that interesting. 2pac on the other hand, as this documentary shows us, there's so much new information even in 2023 that we still haven't heard. This documentary does a good job at filling in the gaps while also telling stories about Afeni to provide even more insight on 2pac. I had no idea about 2pac's father until this documentary.

That wasn't exactly his fault. Females ultimately make nikkas stories interesting and Biggie really didn't get bytches till he started hanging with Pac

The reason nikkas love my stories is because of the bytches I pulled and giving nikkas the stories. Other than that, getting into trouble or fukkery.

Biggie sold drugs but other than that, he really didn't do nothing else.

The only thing I want to know is the bytches when Biggie said, remember your sister. When she used to rub my back, when I hit that. I was like wtf. That's wild

I want to see baby Pac. What was he like as a toddler. What was his first words? What did his momma feed him as a baby? Similac or Emfamil? What does his 3rd grade teacher have to say? What year was he potty trained?

I don't know all the answers to your questions, but I know his teachers raved about him in elementary school.One teacher called him "The perfect student!" Afeni was a hard azz, tho.She'd shut that shyt down quick "My son is here to learn.Not for your amusement"

Yo Afeni was wild.I know they briefly touched on her polygamous marriage with Lumumba Shakur, but they probably won't mention how she used to put hands on the other wives.Afeni was the only one out in the field.The rest were stay at home wives who took care of the domestic work.If the house wasn't cleaned/dinner wasn't made by the time Afeni/Lumumba got back home at the end of the day;Afeni would literally break her foot off in they azz.They're not going to tell that part.Afeni was known to put hands on folks.That's why Pac said during his early childhood in NY, folks around the neighborhood knew not to fukk with 'Faye's" kids.They didn't wanna feel the wrath.
