Summary: Not what I expected
Review: I underestimated this documentary. I wanted to see a documentary about TUPAC; not about Tupac and Black America. Unlike one of the reviewers, I don't think it makes blacks look dumb, maybe more or less at a state of mind where they seem powerless, which is why I don't like it. Although he may curse and be drank & buzzed in Thug Angel, I still like it better because it is about Tupac. The only reason I gave this 2 stars is beacuse it is a "Tupac" DVD.

Summary: Best Documentary on TUPAC SHAKUR to date
Review: When I see a Tupac Documentary, I want to see something that represents him well. I want something that is good for fans, critics, and casual onlookers all at the same time. I want something that highlights his intelligence, and complexity, and depth, and significance. I want something that makes me proud to be a Tupac fan. I want something pretty much free of cursing. I want something that makes we want to share it with everyone. I want something that helps people understand why I'm so into him. I want something that could potentially turn someone on to Tupac. TUPAC VS. delivers on all those fronts. It's basically what I wanted and expected from ThugAngel, but didn't get. A major part of the content is an interview done in 1995 shortly before he was released from prison, and right before he headed to Death Row. He's not smoking, not drinking, not cursing ----- just talking like the mature, intelligent, educated person that he is so capable of being. The tone of the interview was kinda like the brief interview that appears as an extra on the Gang Related DVD. To really understand a huge part of who Tupac was and what he came from I HIGHLY recommend a movie that was put out in about 1994 by Mario Van Peebles called BLACK PANTHER. You can't understand Tupac until you really understand the history of the Black Panther Party.
