Tupac was an all around performer and in general the camera LOVED that man...he was a brilliant actor, only thing that held him back was he always seemed to be given the same types of roles...and yeah this isn't one of the better samples of his work...

if he hadn't died I think he'd be a bigger rapper/actor than Will Smith, he just would probably not get the recognition of Will cuz Will's so "wholesome" and the white people that nominate folks for those awards and shit love his ass...but definetly Tupac will, in my opinion, always be the greatest rapper/actor to grace us...
