This documentary is pretty good. It's really interesting, it shows a lot of footage of Tupac. The people interviewed have some really interesting things to say too. Overall, this is a good documentary on the late, great, Tupac Shakur, and any Tupac fan should have this in their collection; but if you're just getting into Tupac, try Tupac: Ressurrection first. Tupac Vs.: two thumbs up!

Some critics of this artist believe that they are slick by saying that Tupac makes blacks look "dumb" and goes further to say that "blacks are NOT dumb". First of all, I'm black and we don't need other people to define what is intellectually acceptable for us. Thank you. He was a performer, an artist, a poet. NEWSFLASH! Sometimes in America, performers, artists, and poets are idolized and respected. In my opinion, Americans need to consider the cessation of 2 things: the criticism of the intelligence of artists and their fans(let them choose what they like) AND creating the imaginary scale which defines what a "smart black" and a "dumb black" is. Non-blacks should not perpetuate the idea that "the hip hop artist of the week" is responsible for the rest of the country's opinion of black intelligence. You ARE insulting our intelligence when you say things like that. Most Americans of all races know that Tupac is not the model of black authenticity. Black people don't walk around saying Kurt Cobaine (of Nirvana) was a junky that made white people look like junkies. (If they listened to his music, they might call Kurt a genius.) Keep an open mind, my friend.

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.

Tupac Vs has really good footage of 2Pac in concert, the Outlawz and some of the then-Death Row staff. Loved the interview with 'Pac in jail. Some of the stuff he says will shock the hell out of you. He really is a legend and a prophet.
Only thing that bugged me about the documentary was them freaken commentators. That Dyson girl and Elihu maggot write a book about 'Pac and all of a sudden they think they're experts. Man, if you did'nt know him personally then stop showing up on dvds. They just annoy you and spoil the whole video. Mopreme would have been a much better option.
