So that's why he made Poetic Justice right? I know he tried to say cause it was Janet. But nah fukk that. What about Gridlock'd or Gang Related? He was a cop. And he hated cops in real life. What about him cowriting Baby Boy. He was gonna be Jody. And Jody wasn't no gangster. I'm tired of people talkin bout this nikka and what his intentions were damn near 20 years later and he's not even here to defend himself.

Worst part is..most of these nikkaz 40, 50 years old and haven't accomplished a third of what he did or displayed half the talent and brilliance he did at 25.

None of these nikkaz had what he had, hence 20 years later they're still discussing him.

more proof of method acting - didnt wanna shake off dat bishop roll
:francis:

He was saying he wanted Sharif's story line to be more fleshed out instead of some nikka on set sounding like Chilly Willy every time it got hot.

Being that he was on of the reasons why the studio green lit the film why WOULDN'T he try and give input...GOOD input at that on how to make his part better?

why with all the excuses... he just shouldn't have taken the role if he wasnt feeling the character

and im calling :duck: on this notion that the hughes bros only got their budget if he was in the movie
sharif was 1 of lesser roles in da flick

Yea. So u only believe the one half of what Eiht said that fits ur narrative. Smh. U would rather believe some shyt like he was method acting for 5 years after he made Juice. Non stop. To the point of his death.

Almost everyone in Menace II Society was unknown at the time it came out (which added to its authenticity because people thought O-Dog was for real), and the Hughes Brothers were mostly unknown too (aside from, ironically, a few 2Pac music videos that they directed).

'Pac's affiliation to the project would have helped it get greenlit as he was more known for movies at that point in time.

(I'm not disagreeing with your thinking that Sharief was a small part that he was going to play but I think I remember that he actually wanted to play O-Dog but got kicked off the project by then).

How you gonna come C/S the thread/video title but don't wanna accept THAT part of the equation. Or maybe you just talking shyt without listening/reading/watching what you speaking on again, you seem to have a habit of that.

Eiht said that they didn't want Pac in the movie but had to put him in it, which is why they gave him a lesser role as opposed to O-Dogg.

Having common sense, he thought it would be better if they fleshed out Sharif turning to Islam instead of having to assume why he's the oddball nikka hanging around a bunch of gang bangers with funny hats and bean pies. They gave very little context to that in the movie and it would have made it that much better to go deeper into his rationale. But like I said...you ain't watch that, you came in and co-signed the click bait culture vulture ass title.
