im guessin you meant chauncey unless Stacy was the ball player

Everyone involved with that film said he was an asshole and extremely hard to deal with during the filming. I couldn’t really see him in a movie where he wasn’t the main character. He is too big to play support.

He chased the fucking directors up the street and then they basically had to pull him off them in court. Classic.

True

Art imitated life they made the movie real. In every hood they clown and mock the most smart, talented, and normal. I knows guys who got bullied cause his parents were married all his siblings were his real siblings no half brothers or sisters this before the movie so it wasn't a way to hate it was realistic art

@@issabey2749 that is accurate, but Pac did not fit that particular role

Menace 2 Society is to Boysz n the Hood as Scarface is to Goodfellas. Obviously neither are on the Level of Good Fellas but Boyz is a much more fleshed out movie

Are u sure? Because Tupac and Harold was friends and roommates in real life. Tupac actually got him that role and him and Tupac had a fallen out because he didn’t leave after Tupac was fired

@@thesupervisor3270 Jada said she didn't want to do the movie anymore after Tupac was fired but he wouldn't let her quit. This was her first movie role and he was the one who helped her get the role.

I can't believe anything Jada said lol

@@donniedollarz4537 Why not? Tupac always spoke positively about her and he said she was one of the people looking out for him while he was imprisoned.

@@ruthwayne8320 they made “From Hell” with Johnny Depp. Very good movie

So pac talks all thus Rightouess shit do the right thing when he was alive talking black empowerment yet he doesn't wanna play the straight and narrow character typical egotistical human that's why he died because his ego got the best of him typical famous person expects everything to go his way

Like how you put it but nah they had intentions for pac

according to a couple people the original reason they got they movie deal was on the strength of saying Pac was gonna be in the movie. they didn't really want him there they just felt like they needed him at the time from my point of view. but once they got the ball rolling the exed him out the picture, you know the story after that lol

Pac started his career as the conscious cat so why was it a problem for him playing the role of Shareef?

That's what I said. This role would not have been a big stretch for him. He could have went back to his "White manz world" days. Which is one of his better songs. I believe he would have done great as Sharif.

Actors gotta play different roles. That’s called showing range. I don’t understand why Pac had a problem playing a righteous dude

Totally different type of movie ma’am, Poetic Justice wasn’t no shoot ‘em up, bang, bang movie!

I can believe it because of the type of movie it was. It would make him look like a square/sucka. As a young Alpha male your reputation/image is everything to you.

he built up to that... pac on menace sheshhh

8 said the same thing years ago on Vlad or This is 50 or something. I believe him.

Pac knew the only reason why production was giving the Hughes brother the money to do the movie was a condition of 2 pac had to play in the movie because of his popularity at the time the big wigs felt they would capitalize off him.

Juice was better

@@sleepydank8330 it wasn’t

@@klutchet23 it was cos pac was in it

Paid in full?

@@lexbogie1 in too deep

Esp since the Pink elephant in the room was this entire project is being pushed bc of (Tupac’s) presence. They definitely owed him more than a reduced unexplained role

Exactly cause they could have given a quick flash back scene when sherif stayed with Kane cousin. They could have shown a quick flash back scene showing why and then coming back to when wax said fuck that we out

Tupac didn't want to protray a conscious man when he was 21. By 25 he was cool portraying a cop and heroin addict.......

@@zregory wasn’t he around his 20’s when he made Brenda’s got a baby ?

Incredible!!!😳? The same interview, topic of discussion was done 10 years ago, by these same 2 neggas!!!😆😆

Great pov

That's what great actors do

He wanted to do that, but they refused to expand the role.

THATS WHAT HE WAS TRYNA DO!

That's what he was doing Duh

@@JJEHUTYY He was too busy being reckless

I definitely agree with this assessment. This makes me think about Denzel Washington. For most of his acting career, he portrayed a clean, straight and narrow, good-guy image -- but when he dropped Training Day, it was notably different from the roles I was used to seeing. But he played the role so well that it made me like him even more. He played his character so well that I didn't even want him to die (even though, he deserved it). It simply added to his legacy of his entertainment value and versatility. Now, I find myself thinking that Training Day might be my favorite movie featuring him (even though, he made many other great films).

His diverse activities b rang was seen in poetic justice much better movie he played a honourable man

@@sleepydank8330 understood. But in a movie like Menace II Society, he could have possibly made an even greater impact because many of the main characters portrayed themselves as violent, misguided, and didn't gaf -- Pac could have been the guy who brought sanity, a sense of direction, and morality to the situation and with his charisma that he could have injected into his role, he could have possibly endeared a lot more observers. I understand that Pac wanted to add a backstory to his potential character, but I also think he was being difficult to work with. While I agree that he demonstrated a relatively "good guy" imagine in Poetic Justice, I think that he could have had a greater impact in Menace II Society.

Only thing is shareef role wasn’t a lot of screen time he didn’t have many lines that’s the thing that’s all but I feel you . Understand pac would have took the role of shareef was in the film more . PAC not taking the role was more impactful than the shareef role. He killed poetic justice, above the rim ,bullet ,gridlock, gang related, and of course juice role and cameo in movie nothing but trouble with digital underground

@@suave_d yes but pac questioned the fact that the character of shiereef was a Muslim, who was hanging out with gangsters who had guns and smoked, sold drugs drank ect ect, pac understood a real Muslim wouldn’t be within those environments and that’s Muslim gangster didn’t exist, he played and potrayed an authentic hard working young man looking after in poetic justice, he didn’t need to portray this in menace the character can be seen as being contradictory for his hanging out with non Muslim gangsters .

That's called a snake 🐍 and using folks A person that acts like that Will never prosper In the end they get got

Just like Kanye West

Y’all stop bringing up Poetic Justice, do u dumb niggaz realize that was a totally different type of movie. It wasn’t no shoot ‘em up, bang, bang type of film, so of course Pac was fine with that role! Smdh!

Bro y’all crack me up first hand view first your opinion 😂😂😂😂😂

He added personally. Different question.

@@athirdwhy9734 the "person" being interviewed was giving his "personal" take on the matter, so what are you talking about?

Most rappers don't live the life they rap about... It's just entertainment, just like Dre said.

@@BIGGDUDE42 That’s true 💯. And everything we speak has a consequence, good or bad.

Wrong dude, my man. The guy who played Sharif is the same burnt shaved bird lookin’ nigga that convinced Ricky to throw him the football. He also punched Dough Boy in his fat belly when DB tried to take it back. That big nigga wearing the durag told ‘shaved bird’ to “…give tha ‘lil nigga his ball back.”.

Yes pac really wanted to play odog lol but larenz literally embodied odog. Pac would have been good as sharif too , the dear mama/ Brenda got a baby Pac, not the to live and die in LA death row Pac. I love how 8 explain it. He’s still so hard in his Compton dialect. Rip Pac!

Sharif's father played by Charles S. Dutton, revealed some of Sharif's back story during the school meeting scene.

@@HeavyMental1000 he really gave no details of anything that happened in his life. It was literally one sentence. They should have actually shown us a flash back or something.

@@JayBelafonte Why do all that for a side character? Sharif actually got more back story than O-Dog who has about 90% more screen time. And what about the A-Wax? The audience is smart enough to understand the crux of the character without an unnecessary flashback. This was more about Tupac's ego. He was Tupac for god's sake. He could have just turned the part down and jumped on a different movie if he wanted to.

@@HeavyMental1000 I Agree

@@HeavyMental1000 that’s the entire point why Pac was not a fit for that role. Although having background on some of them would have expanded the movie the same way as “Boyz in the Hood”. That way when they died it would have been more emotional.

That’s on the actor bro

You don't have to become a STAR when you are Born one....Vonte Sweet was Hot in Hollywood way before any of em...do ya research lol. Mofo

His last name is crooks. music.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kJ9zY6memKvJmZ8.html&feature=share

It's called range.

And it worked out for the best cause it was better with the lesser known actors cause it looked more believable with them pac would have commanded the film so him not being in it it let it breath more easier

Im pretty sure only dummies like you think like THAT

Because that character wasn't really in the movie too much and also Tupac felt there wasn't enough reasoning to why that character changed into the positive guy

Yeah but Pac was a thug, if they told Pac to his Face that he was getting the Timberland boot, Pac would have probably beat the light skin off of them. The Hughes Bros aint about that life, so they wanted to avoid a physical confrontation.

That don't mean you go beating people up only in the hip hop world does that make perfect sense. That just means there's no Business Like show Business. That's how it is I don't know why when it comes to black people they think that things should be different. It's Hollywood shut up. Tupac is dead for a good reason.

@@tristinhall1275 I didnt say anything about that though

@@onajiranac7237 you just said they were cowards and snakes because they kicked Tupac from the movie but didn't tell him to his face. Why do you feel like it should be handled differently because it was Tupac or black actor? When this happens in white Hollywood all day everyday. Once again Hollywood is Hollywood show Business show Business but at the end of the day Tupac had no right to be put in his hands on anybody and needed to calm his goofy ass down. Hence why he's no longer here.

@@tristinhall1275 I commented their actions not actions of Tupac. I said the problem in this incident was how they handled it and it was very poorly.

I never mentioned nor defended Tupac's actions after they kicked him off.
