  • @Philasophical_Truth.Wisdom

    The WORST thing about the Movie Juice, is the BEFORE Tupac played/starred in this movie, he was the SAME guy you seen in Digital Underground, but AFTER doing that movie & PLAYING that character, he NEVER let that go & THAT person/character is what/who MANY black kids have imitated over the years & CAUSED ALL of their deaths, INCLUDING Tupac himself.

    • @Philasophical_Truth.Wisdom
      @Philasophical_Truth.Wisdom Před 3 lety +1

      It’s ALL/COMPLETELY true @@bl6369 If you was around during that time, it wouldn’t seem crazy to anybody, because they would have seen it when & while it was happening. Plus, Tupac didn’t start selling a LOT of records until AFTER he was killed/murdered.
      So people act like Tupac was BIGGER than life & don’t get me wrong, he WAS big & popular, but he didn’t REALLY blow up until after he started getting arrested & after he was killed. Because when he got shot, people thought that was a HOAX & didn’t believe him. People (the MASSES) thought it was a publicity stunt, trying to create a HARDER image than that one he had with Digital Underground.

    My favorite Rakim track is As The Rhyme Goes On. It didn't blow up as much as his other classics, but I believe it is his best work lyrically. This is the song Eminem pays homage to with his hit The Way I Am... Rakim has a bar that goes "I'm the R to A to K I am, if I wasn't then why would I say I am..." Eminem borrows this....
