Word Is That Gillie Landed The Role Of 2Pac

[Wacky D]

that's what im hearing.

Edit:

The YouTube sensation continued, noting that he is the latest rapper to play another in a film. In an upcoming film, the self-proclaimed "Gil Smith" will be portraying late superstar emcee (and actor in his own right) Tupac Shakur. "I'm just waitin' on findin' out when we shootin'," said Gillie, adding that he had been paid and received a script, but was unaware of production schedule. "I'm just an actor in that." He compared himself to another Philly emcee-turned-actor. "Just know, nikka, I'ma transform like Will Smith did when he played [Muhammad] Ali. We already know I'm G'd up enough to play [Tupac]. That was never a question." Gillie revealed that he had been bulking up in the gym to portray the Death Row Records multi-platinum artist who was tragically murdered in Las Vegas, Nevada in September of 1996.

A onetime nemesis of State Property and Lil Wayne, Gillie did not hold his tongue on criticizing other Rap artists who are acting. "Who else is better to play 'Pac than me, though? Let's be honest—especially if it was a fukkin' rapper. None of these fukkin' rappers!" The North Philly veteran touted, "That's what these nikkas is: they rappers."

Is Ving Rhames producing the movie?

I think so...this shyt will be high-comedy should it actually come out...it's a low budget straight to dvd movie Suge Knight bio-pic with 54 year old Ving playing Suge and a damn near 40 year old Gillie playing a young pac

OP made this thread like it was the OFFICIAL 2Pac movie we been waiting on that will be in theaters lmaooooo. This just another straight to DVD hood flicks Gillie in.

Gillie deserves to be in movies, facial expressions, mannerisms, and speech pattern is beyond approach.

The powers that be black balled him or he would have cleaned up the game.

No matter who plays PAC, nobody will be satisfied.
