Hollywood director John Singleton has provided some more clarity into his issues with the new All Eyez On Me biopic. The famous moviemaker explained why the new box office hit didn’t live up to what true 2Pac fans deserve.

In Singleton’s opinion, the people behind All Eyez On Me overlooked the culture importance of this high-profile release.

“They just made a movie, they didn’t think of it as a cultural event. They didn’t think of it in terms of something that affected our generation. People who are younger, who don’t really understand the legacy of Tupac Amaru Shakur, they just go to a movie and they see a rap star. But dude was much more than a rap star. So that’s why I’m really upset. And then these cats get on the radio and start disparaging my name – 50 [Cent] came out and had my back. ‘I saw this, y’all need to apologize to John.'” (V-103)

This week, G-Unit boss 50 Cent ripped All Eyez On Me with some savage trolling.

Last week, New York rapper Troy Ave had heavily co-signed the new Tupac biopic.

A few days prior, Houston rapper Scarface singled out All Eyez On Me‘s authenticity.

“We never looked at each other like we were each other’s favorite rapper, which we were. But we were just friends. Every show we did together, it was Pac and me and MC Breed. If MC Breed’s not in that movie then it ain’t no real Pac movie. If the D.O.C. wasn’t mentioned in that movie, that’s not a real Pac movie. You see what I’m saying? … So if them n*ggas not in that movie and that sh*t wasn’t sanctioned by the people who grew up with Pac – I don’t believe, look, if a motherf*cker put an album out on me when I’m dead, man, don’t buy that sh*t. If a motherf*cker try to shoot a movie on me, and I’m dead? Don’t go see that sh*t, my n*gga. Let me rest, man. And I love Pac to death man, but let that man rest.”
