Soulja Boy Playing "Bishop" In Juice remake
- Thread starter Kobe
- Start date
I checked on IMDB. And it gets a healthy 6.7.
But... Most of the reviews are from Tupac fans who would give it 10/10. So it actually isn't that great a score.
Here is a typical review -
Wow, the memories. This is one of my favorite hip hop flicks. I'm also a Tupac fan and I can honestly say when I first saw this movie.. I hated Tupac because he made the "bishop" character so real... A little too real.. Some say Pac's problems started after he made this film...That he was living out the character... Looking back on it now as I'm older I think the character helped him release some of the darkness in his past. I miss Tupac.. When I look at these watered down rappers ... i.e. 50 Cent.. and how he's still around.. It tells me people are attempted to fill the Pac void.. There will NEVER be another Pac.. Please believe it.. Anyway...I watched the move again recently and it's great the music and the vibe and movement of the film is gritty and honest. It really shows how small situations in the hood can become a big problems.. Pac was excellent and raw. Omar Epps was excellent as well.. I love the movie...It never gets old.

So... Who would want to be associated with the above?
I think 2pac would have achieved more as an actor. He was only young and just starting out. I also think he scared directors off with his attitude and poor time keeping in the early days. I think as he matured, calmed down and became more professional he would have been given better roles in better films and wouldn't have been so pigeon holed.

Juice put Pac on the map he wasnt a star b4
with the rest of the shit in this thread its all opinion but its funny how every one is so separate even on 'bad performances' and 'good performances' and start checking IMDB ratings lmao
off topic but its funy 2 me how Puffy is walk of fame for doin nothing and Pac the #1 in his industry and starred in 6? films in less than 3 or 4 available years

Hilarious. I nearly wet myself.
I wrote a piece asking for a Star for Pac on the walk of fame. Muszamil was supposed to be pushing for it. It never happened. And it doesn't look like it ever will.
Found it replicated elsewhere

Gridlock'd was Pac's best movie. I don't think he was an amazing actor, but he had the potential to make it big. What helped him shine in Gridlock'd was having a great actor (imo) playing besides him, Tim Roth. It probably helped his acting surface. I wouldn't be surprised, if he was still alive, that he would have been a top actor.

Good point.
I mean, he made excellent songs in the beginning, but through time, he could make 3 classic songs in one night.
He was getting more talented as time went. I see a totally different Tupac flow from All Eyes On Me to Makaveli.
The thing about his acting to, is that it seemed like he rushed so much films. If he took his time like typical actors these days and be more professional, like others have said, he would have gotten his Oscar before Denzel, imo.

In addition, this isn't related to the Juice re-make but they may as well have had Justin Bieber play Tupac
