      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!

    This is how you can tell when people aren’t really as familiar as they seem. Tupac wasn’t gonna continue in music like that as an artist.
