i just got back from seeing the movie; it was tight. i think that it did a wonderful job debunking a lot of fallacies that white america has towards pac. it showed what thuglife meant to him, not what it means in the dictionary or on some new cast. it gave a glimpse of his complex personality, illustrating his honesty, compassion, humor, intelligence, all in an attempt to help the uninformed get it. now i truly understand why he is my favorite rapper of all time. i was one of those that he was trying to reach, i felt where he was coming from; the pain, the angst, the frustration at the system...well worth the two hour and forty minute drive.

"White America" as you so put it, was not the only one who had a problem with 2pac. Other rappers, black scholars and other non-whites had a problem with him as well. Many whites liked his music... how do you think he sold so many records? You have to crossover to get those kinds of number. Think about things before you launch into a "white america" statement.

Actually, Biggie was one of the best, I really liked Ready to Die, and Life After Death was solid... He had amazing flow, and his freestyles would leave his opponents in awe. His Album went Diamond, single selling best rap album of all time, so he sold well over 8 million copies only on one album alone... You say only 2 CDs were good, but he really only made 2 albums (with the exception of the compiled Born Again).. And when did record sales have anything to do with how good you are?? Look at Big L, considered one of the greatest of all time, he didn't sell many records because he couldn't make that leap into the mainstream.
