Tupac's death was the best thing ever for his career. He's released more albums and movies since he died than he did when he was alive.

Tupac's death was the biggest loss of our generation?

A wise man once said something that describes this statement:

...what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul..

Hokeyboy 12-16-04 11:57 PM

Heck, the loss of the guy who played Mr. Belvedere was a bigger loss than Tupac.

TuPac was a modern day philosopher. It is a shame that he is gone. Most of the people who don't like him don't understand him. He is a modern day Thomas Jefferson.

NestoJR 12-17-04 02:15 AM

heh, wow, i'm 24, liked his music (b4 his death) and i don't agree with any of that. modern day philosopher ?? for who, people on the streets ?? gimme a break, this is a guy who preached "thug life" and looked how he left this world, thats a sad way for a "philosopher" to go. great rapper and all, he hardly spoke for the majority of the people of "our" generation unless you think everyone listens to rap (and I did in my high school years but have stopped and frankly look down on most who listen to it today). his death was shocking (somewhat) but not much other than that.

now back to the thread's original topic, as for it being the "best" documentary ever, thats purely subjective. and I haven't seen it so I can't comment.

Mr Belvedere Is Dead!?????????????

Fanboy 12-17-04 11:38 AM

Umm, no.

My primary memories of Tupac come from him clowning with Digital Underground before he discovered that the "the streets" sell better.

The doco is good, though. But there are better. When We Were Kings leaps to mind.

The Antipodean 12-17-04 12:19 PM

Nope, don't agree at all.

Why do you hate us? :(


I must disagree. Best Documentry my ass! there is so many more that are better.

NitroJMS 12-17-04 01:40 PM

Isn't the guy that was making those goofy Buffy posts a few weeks back?

Anyway, 2Pac dying was no big loss, and he probably wouldn't even be nearly as popular as if he had lived.

Jackskeleton 12-17-04 01:57 PM

yes, this is the poster that wanted to dispute why buffy season 7 recieved only 2 stars and also was the one person who started the buffy is the greatest series EVAR!! thread. So you can understand that he may either be really young and a bit out there.

Tupac is a popular singer, just his documentary and the release of an album at the same time makes it seem more like marketing gimmicks than anything else.

PopcornTreeCt 12-17-04 01:58 PM

2Pac was a great rapper. But that is all he was.

Singer?

Jackskeleton 12-17-04 02:48 PM

my bad on the choice of words. He was a decent rapper. But this documentary was not anywhere near "best ever" quality

island007 12-17-04 03:20 PM

This should have been a poll.

Anyway, back to the thread's original topic, as for it being the "best" documentary ever.
ummm...HELL NO!

Gunned down in his prime ... another senseless victim of the bitter East Coast/West Coast butler rivalry. Authorities suspect Mr. French is responsible, but can't prove it.

I think Tupac was incredibly talented, but feel the godlike status he has achieved is mostly due to the fact that he died and the circumstances surrounding his death. This is even worse for The Notorious B.I.G. If both were alive today, I imagine they'd still be prominent names, but their popularity would've cooled down some (a la Snoop, who is an iconic figure in rap now who still makes hits, but doesn't have the buzz of, say, Kanye West). I would also apply this reasoning to Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin in the rock world, and many others.

HistoryProf 12-17-04 05:17 PM

tupac wasn't even a great rapper...he wasn't a philospher....he wasn't a poet...he was a marketing machine that worked.

PopcornTreeCt 12-17-04 05:27 PM

I liked Tupac. I think Biggie was overrated.

You're putting him in the same league as a founding father, writer of the Declaration of Independence and a President of the United States? 2Pac isn't even a modern day George Jefferson!

BizRodian 12-17-04 08:59 PM

Dvdtalk Has Some Sorta Tupac Grudge!

BizRodian 12-17-04 08:59 PM

Hey... it won't let me type in all caps!
