This movie actually brings back memories of when I was in high school! I was in my junior year when Tupac died and it was like one of the biggest stories during that time.
The film follows Shakur from his early days in New York City to his evolution into being one of the world’s most recognized and influential voices before his untimely death at the age of 25. And I’m definitely gonna watch this out.
I haven’t heard about this movie. But I think it’s amazing that they have a movie dedicated to the one and only Tupac Shakur. I’m sure it’s going to be awesome.
I didn’t realize he was so young when he died. I also didn’t know it happened in Vegas. I do know he left behind a very strong legacy.
That was awesome! I enjoyed reading your post about all eye on me! I guess I should see this movie!
I cannot wait to see this movie! I used to listen to his music when I was a teen, and it blew my mind when he was killed at such a young age.
This looks like it will be a good one! I’m a huge fan of movies based on REAL people and true stories!
