Movie Reviews of Tupac: VS.
Movie Review: No Pity For Gang Member Rap Stars
Summary: 1 Stars
Let's see if I understand; I'm supposed to get all choked up when a no-talent, gangbanging thug gets whacked? Growing up listening to Sly Stone, Hendrix, Stevie Wonder and Motown, I find it appalling at how black music has decayed and pop culture praises a punk like Tupac.About fifty years ago there was a TV show called "Amos & Andy." It was previously a comedic radio show about 2 black men and various black characters. The radio show was famous and was loved by both blacks and whites. When the radio show was turned into a TV show, the NAACP and other black groups were outraged at how blacks were portrayed as silly and undignified. The show was eventually taken off the air. These days, we now have a form of music that portrays black youths as nothing but gang banging, drug dealing killers who see women as nothing but bitches and "ho's." Do we see black organizations outraged? No, rap music is defended and embraced by all.
Too bad I am forced to give this [artist] one star instead of none. Giving recording contracts to gang members is like giving whiskey to the Indians.
Movie Review: Just Dang Perplexing
Summary: 1 Stars
I have a deep and abiding respect for blacks, black culture, and the need to continue the important struggle for equal rights. The great civil rights icons are my heart-felt heros. This is why it makes me wonder drop-jawed, when I see so much of black America (it seems) embrace some clever gang member, who can couch his utter nonsense in some cute rhymes, dip & bop on stage, and then get glamorized and idolized. I see no value in his work because there is no value.
It makes blacks look dumb, and they are NOT dumb.
Movie Review: Why The Buzz?

Why anyone would want to glamorize or idolize this very talented, very savvy, very articulate low-life is beyond me. It reminds me of the saying, "The whole world may embrace a purveyor of nonsense, and yet his spewings are still stupidity."
