    • @CardKnockLife

      Nah bro! That was 100% hating on Pac’s ability as an actor. He literally said “His career as a rapper wouldn’t have allowed him to become a great actor, in a sense!” Basically saying Pac wasn’t a great actor, which is bullshit bc several ppl have called him a genius when it comes to acting. He would’ve only gotten better. And in my opinion he would’ve quit rapping to solely focus on acting once he got a bit older like most ppl do. He would’ve matured and became an amazing actor! Harris here didn’t want to give Pac the Denzel comparison bc why? Then that means Pac would’ve also been better than him! That! No doubt!

    Yall do understand Pac died at 25, with already starting in 7 movies, right? lol.
    “Hot headed rolls” were obvious, but by no means a cap on his reach or potential. He CLEARLY showcased incredible range and how phenomenal he already was! He grew with each film and would’ve gotten more complicated rolls too. That’s where we could see age, experience and other challenges allow us to validly judge what he could do. Mf already starred in 7 movies, matching Denzel’s count before he won his first Oscar at 34.

    What Wood Harris doesn’t know along with a lot of other ppl is that Tupac wanted to transition over to acting full time. Tupac even stated that in one of his last radio interviews. He really didn’t want to pursue music long term. Pac wanted his movie (acting) catalog to be as big as his music catalog. So yes I agree with Allen Hughes. Pac was a phenomenal actor at such a young age. He had a lot of range and versatility.
    Rest in peace Tupac Amaru Shakur ❤
