    Just watching Gridlock'd on BBC1 right now, one of my favourite movies. Just reminded me of how brilliant an actor Tupac Shakur was. Really was a talented young actor who would have been destined for bigger and better roles. He shone in nearly every movie he was in, such as Juice, Poetic Justice, Gridlock'd and Gang Related. Any other fans of him or his movies out there?

    yes that movie got very good reviews but it was shown in art house cinemas in Ireland. But of course that was in the day when Tim Roth was a cult icon.

    He was a WAY better actor than a rapper!

    He was a great actor. I haven't seen Gridlock'd but I thought his performance in Juice was especially impressive.

    Not a whole lot to make of it. It was very simple. I don't want to get into a music discussion here. 2Pac was a mediocre rapper...at best!

    And this is coming from someone who was somewhat a fan of his, going back to when 2Pacalypse Now dropped.
