Barring any setbacks, Pac’s All Eyez On Me biopic is slated to arrive in theaters on Pac’s birthday.

Lionsgate’s Summit Entertainment has acquired U.S. rights to the Morgan Creek Entertainment film that follows the life of the iconic 1990s rapper and has set it for release on June 16, on what would have been Shakur’s 46th birthday. (The Hollywood Reporter)

Recently, director Benny Boom defended casting Hollywood newcomer Demetrius Shipp Jr. for the flick.

“I feel like I definitely got the right actor to play Tupac,” he said of Hollywood newcomer Demetrius Shipp Jr. “It was important to get an unknown [actor] so people can lock into him and his performance versus any sort of baggage that another actor would bring,” Douglas revealed. “This role is just too important for hip-hop culture to mess it up.” (Page Six)

  1. First of all know the definition of the word gangster. 2pac never claimed that he was a gangster. Yall niggas talk a lotof shit now that this man is dead and cant defend himself. Why do ppl feel the need to criticize this man who did alot for hip hop. RIP Tuoac Shakur u will be forever missed…GOAT

  2. This nigga is managing a fag..what gangster spoons with men in speedos.. LMAO..this nigga prolly spoon with GAME

  3. U didn’t say that when pac was alive I never heard of you it look like you an older man trying to rap

  4. Par uuu my ass little bitch ass 5,7 liking as nigga get smoked homie you and game ain’t none but some lame trying to get your name in pacs for fame nigga you know he’d have way more loot probably double if he was alive probably check yo ass in the spot for looking like a little nigga fucking with a white bitch! You look like Tysons daughter

  5. Oh and stop trying to put tupac on ur grimy ass songs bitch ass game that’s ur plan to put a verse fr him on ur songs haha and make his money the little wanabee gangstas is both u little bitches IL meet up with yous

  6. 2pac was more gangsta than all these dudes. He would definitely give Mr Wack 100 the hands anyday. I’m not just talking crazy cuz watch any documentary on the man and anyone will tell you Pac loved to set it off. Sorry, That he wasnt into killing black men but you know.. There are those two cops he shot… He once said, and there is footage (look it up) “(black people) should take the gun you would shoot your brother with IN A second and shoot these mf (cops) that are killing and beating them in the street..) now go listen to Soulja story, Soulja Revenge, and then Revolution feat Busta Rhymes then define gangsta again. Becoming a legend and accomplishing all he did after growing up with his circumstances with his mom, moving to so many hoods wh at 25 years old. Fuck walk the Shakur live for black people fuck wack piece of shot and Game too cuz he claims he love EAZY, runs with Dre says he loves Pac, hangs with Puff, Jimmy henchman and now this bozo 50 year old blood whose still banging and msimply manages some so so talent. Die a bum

  7. I’m glad this is being said more and more……homey was a great talent but didn’t have a gangster bone in his body. He was an actor. Salute wack. Cause I usually don’t fuck with him frfr

    • Man seriously let’s chop this shit up proper eminem even Nas salute PAC as the GOAT reading the perpetuating ignorance coming out from some of the comments I’ve read is plain ridiculous not to mention what PAC stood for is on a level the game or his manager will never be on when the game dies so does his music however PAC will live forever in the minds of not only Americans but people world wide gangsta thugg call it what u want PAC was a revolutionary that is still more powerful then most rappers today so while u idiots bump Ur head to fake ass G’s like little Wayne or the game I’ll be learning something real new and real from hearing any PAC track the man still has msgs hidden in his songs like I said ignorance is bliss with most of u fake ass wanna be’s

  8. Tupac is gone but yet we play his music all because his words were concrete n real, lets imagin game after his demise lmao.Tupac was and still the best and there won’t be no one like him…today I stop being The Game fan #Tupac Godfather
