Summary: The death of Tupac Amaru Shakur left an indelible void...
Review: ... Thug Angel encapsulates all the reasons why his true fans admired him so much, regardless of what he was caught up in. Tupac Amaru Shakur was the realest and most true prophet that blessed this world. Tupac poured his heart and soul in his music and left us with his beautiful essence that will life forever. Tupac expressed what was in his soul and thus it made him vulnerable. When he died I cried for the longest time because I knew someone so beautiful, intelligent, strong, unique and compassionate had left this earth. It felt like I had lost someone I knew and loved all my life and it's because he gave us his soul in his music and lyrics. I am so grateful that he had a loving mother who reared him in the proper direction, that is truth. Tupac/Makaveli transcended and is truly in a better place.

I will always love Tupac Amaru Shakur.

Summary: get it but get it 2. hand
Review: Apart from others this dvd shows the young pac groving into the thug we know as makaveli.
It has alot of interviews with people he worked with during this time especially his younghood period, compared to others , better of all ofcourse if that's what you're looking for but even not its worthed to see.
I have 4 dvd's of pac but none of em gives me the feelings when i listen him these DVDs and documentaries is just worthed to be one time seen, so its better to get it second hand and sell it to a friend. :)

Summary: 2Pac the Prophet, The Father, and the Spirit of Hip-Hop
Review: As to say this, I can't get my eyes on Tupac. 'Cuz he had a lot going on in his life, you know what I'm mean. You see Tupac will be telling a lot of stories of his past when he begin writing poetry at a early age, learn to act, and how to be a superstar in the rap business. Yeah Tupac been gone for 7 or 8 years now, but in 10 years he'll be remember 'cuz he modered a generation for the hip-hop community. I also a lot of people from that culture to Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, JFK, RFK, and on and on.

Now a lot of people are still talking about him and how he became a part of our culture. That's why he lived his life the way he live b/c of the fight with Biggie, the East Coast/West Coast rap war, how he got arrested, been in jail all of his life, need I say more?

Nobody even care on how he lived or how he died. He help changed that by putting it into his lyrics. The reason why I love him the most is there's nobody like him like Jada Pinkett Smith "There's nobody, nobody like that man. I don't care how many records you sell. I don't care how popular you are..."
You know Tupac lives on and he'll always will be to the fullest.

For those of ya'll are missing out a lot of good information about this icon, I urge you to check him out. He's one of the greats that put it on since Martin Luther King and Malcolm X we learned back in the day.

Summary: The Tupac Mystique lives on.............
Review: Did Tupac read some books in prison? Yes. Does this make him smart? No.

Was he a hypocrite in his attitudes towards women? Have you heard his songs, what do you think?

Tupac was a confused man and just a tad paranoid. He wasted his talent and life, that much is plainly evident. In most ways he is not a role model. This is part of the problem, black folk and white suburbanites glamourize this scatter brain because it appeals to their sense of the "tough guy with a heart of gold". How about recognizing the kids who escaped the ghetto and didn't play out the role of a stereotype. Someone who succeeded in science or mathematics, perhaps.

You can romantisize Tupac all you like, but the facts remain, and for all those who aren't aware of this: with film you can take a few clips and make anyone look good...ask Hitler's propaganda people.

Don't buy into the myth.

We can only hope that Tupac would have gotten the help he needed had he lived, but sometimes there are extreme consequences for arrogant reckless lifestyles. This was one of those times.

I hope he found some peace.

Summary: The Best??
Review: Hmmm this is a great Tupac biography thing but I don't think it is the absolute best one released. It didn't cover much of his life after he made it big, or for a matter of fact his death. However, of what it does cover it covers very well. On the other hand the quality of the video if quite weird. It reminded me of the E! True Hollywood Story. You see, this man didn't go out and conduct the interviews for the show, well not all of them anyway, he gathered some from other people interviewing them about Tupac from years and years ago. Some of the people seem very insightful, however, some of the people didn't provide to much insight above the obvious and seemed to be added just to take up time. Overall, there is much good in this movie in information wise, however the production of this move needed MUCH work. It is enteratining at points but at points you tend to fall asleep. There are better biography's out there on the greatest out there. I reccomend going out to get one of them. Thanks for your time and I am out. HOLLA!

Summary: the best hip-hop DVD available
Review: I am not dissapointed with this DVD by any stretch of the imagination. Any ammount of money is worth this DVD and a measily 20 or so dollars is not setting any one with the internet back in theri financial standings. This DVD had ful length interviews, three of which are of tupac and which go for approx 25 mins each. The footage inbetwee the feature is mostly unseen and of good quality. Never have i seen such an accurate portrayal of this man and you can be sure that all of tupacs loved ones support this DVD which is what i like about it most. Alot of people show alot of love for this man and really get you inside the head of tupac himself, his critics ... and the people who had to live through his demise. Watching this film really allows you to personally pay tribute to the realist soldier that ever lived. if u loved him then it can be disturbing to watch, but he deserves to have all those who did and do experience the pain in order to experience the story ("and thats real")

Summary: Very Perplexed
Review: I have a deep and abiding respect for blacks, black culture, and the need to continue the important stuggle for equal rights. The great civil rights icons are my heart-felt heros.
This is why it makes me wonder drop-jawed when I see most of black America (it seems) embrace some clever gang member, who can couch his arrogant nonsense in some cute rhymes, dip & bop on stage, and then get glamorized and idolized. What a strange evolution in American society: the worship of arrogance.
I see no value in Shakur's work, because there is no value.
It makes blacks look dumb, and they are NOT dumb.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: For any fan of 'Pac's
Review: I loved this biography. It showed the many sides of Tupac; his personal matters, they even have a rare interview of when he was 17. As some of you may know, Tupac was from New York. He talked about how he moved to Baltimore, and then to Los Angeles. This is a million times better than Thug Immortal, probably because it was produced (or directed) by someone who knew Tupac personally; Quincy Jones. The only thing I resent about this DVD is it makes Tupac look like "The Bad Guy" at times as well as an angel (e.g. there is footage of Tupac when he is drank & buzzed, & cursing). But I guess that's why the name is THUG Angel. If you want to remember Tupac in all of his glorious days, you need to pick this up.
