I have a deep and abiding respect for blacks, black culture, and the need to continue the important struggle 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 so much of black America (it seems) embrace some clever gang member, who can couch his utter nonsense in some cute rhymes, dip & bop on stage, and then get glamorized and idolized. I see no value in his work because there is no value.
It makes blacks look dumb, and they are NOT dumb.

Why anyone would want to glamorize or idolize this very talented, very savvy, very articulate low-life is beyond me.
It reminds me of the saying, "The whole world may embrace a purveyor of nonsense, and yet his spewings are still stupidity."

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.

I personally think that this was one of the best Tupac Shakur documentaries out there. Its not like Thug Angel or anything else in the sense that it shows a side of Tupac's mind that sums it all up; explains his views and thoughts, and ultimately transforms his music into art. Must see, definately get it!

Fianlly a film that tells it how it is. A wonderful documentary about the "real" life of the greatest rap star of them all. The music is great and the interviews intriguing. Mos def a must see!
