It’s official: Michael B. Jordan’s directorial debut is a megahit. The acclaimed actor has been assisting in crafting the Creedverse for nearly a decade, and for the third installment, he went all out. Not only did he star in the film, but he helmed the director’s chair, which proved successful. This, of course, was also aided by costars like Tessa Thompson and Jonathan Majors, and their press runs have been filled with laughs and revelations.
Most recently, Jordan and Majors sat down with Complex, where they named their GOATs. From athletes to food to entertainers to—of course—rappers, the Creed III stars get real about their favorites. At one point, Majors also asked Jordan to choose between Jay-Z and Tupac Shakur. It was a decision that he struggled with. “Listen, y’all,” Jordan joked. “This ain’t cool.”

Majors chimed in to agree that this would be a difficult choice. Jordan further added, “They’re right there,” as he made hand motions to suggest it was a close call. Then, Jordan ignored the options at hand and answered, “Drake. Fight me.” Majors was visibly surprised—and confused. “You said Drake?!” Jordan answered, “Fight me!”
Jonathan Majors laughed at his friend and asked, “What happened to Pac?” It was a question that Jordan skipped over. “Man, consistently, for how long across genres,” Jordan seemed to say, referencing Drizzy. Jonathan still was baffled and added that Tupac’s life was cut short. This fact is why Jordan said he placed the late icon in the “untouchable” category. “Great. This is not untouchable talk,” Majors replied. “This is GOAT talk.”
Additionally, Majors chose Jay-Z as his GOAT before Jordan explained why Hov didn’t take the title. According to him, Drake pens rhymes that speak directly to things he’s experienced “consistently.” It also helps that the pair are also friends and have been spotted partying together or sitting courtside at sports events. These GOAT talks also spark a discussion, and it’s clear that this is the catalyst for the next viral conversation. Swipe above to get a better context of the discussion.
Tisha Campbell is an American actress, singer, and dancer who has been active in the entertainment industry since the 1980s. She is known for her roles in popular television shows such as “Martin” and “My Wife and Kids.” However, Tisha is also known for her friendliness and kind heart. This is backed up by her story about her cooking Thanksgiving dinner for Tupac in the 1990s. In an interview with The Breakfast Club morning show, Tisha looks back on her dinner with fondness.
Additionally, Tisha Campbell admits to having had issues with not being present in the moment. It’s easy to lose track of how quickly time moves, and to get stuck in one period of time. Tisha states that as she gets older, she is able to appreciate being in the moment. But back when she was younger, she was not able to fully comprehend how much she was living in the past. She credits her friend Berkley for being able to put things into perspective for her.
Tisha Campbell Realizes Dinner With Tupac Is Not Normal
“I would say random stuff like ‘oh yeah when I made Thanksgiving dinner for Tupac’ and he was like ‘you can’t just say you made Thanksgiving dinner for Tupac’. And I was like, oh that’s not normal?” Tisha Campbell talks about how casual having Thanksgiving dinner with Tupac was to her in the 90s. She realizes now how extraordinary her connection to the famous late rapper truly was. Back then, Tupac had joined Tisha Campbell and her husband at the time, Duane Martin, for a holiday dinner.
During the 1990s, Tisha Campbell and Tupac Shakur were both rising stars in the entertainment industry. As a result, Tupac, Tisha, and Duane Martin would periodically hang out and get together. It was not uncommon for famous celebrities living in LA to be close, or even casual friends. Tisha states that she used to host large parties where she was cooking for large quantities of people at once. “Now my parties are like, two, three people. But I used to cook a lot.” Now Tisha realizes how special her connection to Tupac was, and focuses more on being present so she can develop new special connections.

It is common knowledge that the late and great Tupac Shakur will eternally hold a profound and powerful impact on the genre of hip-hop and rap. But, one tends to wonder how his career would have further flourished had his magical talents been lent towards the crafting of hit motion pictures.
The ”Keep Your Head Up” maestro has produced various film-making credits since the peak of 1991 with his very first feature role per the dark comedy flick Nothing but Trouble (1991) before tragically concluding his film career through the cult classic Gang Related (1997). Here is a complete break-down of 2Pac’s filmography released while alive or otherwise posthumously:
Nothing but Trouble (1991)
whic
A horror comedy movie that centers on a traveling, wealthy New York clique who are all apprehended by police after running a stop sign in a poor village and are held hostage at a 106-year-old judge’s run-down courthouse. The group is then met with disturbing encounters with the judge’s inbred family as they plot on how to escape before their grotesque punishment is revealed to them.
The bizarre feature not only involved A-listers like Dan Aykroyd (Ghostbusters) and Demi Moore (Ghost, G.I. Jane) but also entailed assistance from 2Pac and his former collective Digital Underground. The group makes a cameo in one scene where they are performing their club hit “Same Song” (1990) before the decaying judge’s podium as hopeful effort to be released from the mad house. Subsequently, they end up walking away scot-free with their musicality while the wealthy New Yorkers are left behind concocting their next getaway plan.
What makes this film not only stand out as 2Pac’s debut acting feature, but it also marks his first time piecing material for an original motion picture soundtrack. He recorded “Same Song” and “Tie the Knot” as cuts for Nothing but Trouble’s score.
Despite his appearance, the film did little to save itself from harsh criticism from both the public and the press. It secured a dishonorable Golden Razzie win for Worst Supporting Actor. It was later dubbed as one of the biggest box office duds in cinematic history.
Juice (1992)
One year following the disastrous phenomenon with Nothing, 2Pac gave acting another shot. But, this time on his own terms without musical restraints from Digital Underground. He returned to his birth-state New York to begin readings for the thriller Juice. He was cast as fictionalized troubled character Roland Bishop. The film follows four friends caught in a domino effect of peril after Pac’s character’s begins scouting out for homicidal trouble in an ill-ridden attempt to achieve power and respect.
The film became an outstanding hit with both critics and viewers, generating over $20 million at the box office. It secured a 79% favorable rating with Rotten Tomatoes and a “B+” rating given by Entertainment Weekly.
Poetic Justice (1993)
As another year went by, so came forth another acting shot for Mr. Shakur. The next deal on the table was co-starring with reigning pop queen Janet Jackson for the drama feature Poetic Justice.
Directed by John Singleton, the film narrates South Los Angeles poet Justice (Jackson) who is battling with depression. This was stemming from the murder of her late boyfriend. Mail clerk Lucky (Shakur) is dealing with emotional abuse and trauma sustained from his crack-addiction. As the plot progresses, the characters who were initially reluctant towards one another begin to grow close during a road trip. They soon develop a strong bond with one another.
Though the film failed to appease critics it did not waver one bit with viewers. Poetic successfully generated well over $27 million against its $14 million budget. Both Janet’s and Tupac’s groundbreaking appearances would later be recognized as one of the earliest films to help shine the light on how depression can be riddled in the black community
Above the Rim (1994)
Spring 1994 welcomed the release of Above the Rim, which follows two key characters training for a basketball game. One out of the two is a star athlete-turned-coach who is heavily disliked by the film’s protagonist (Kyle, played by Duane Martin) but comes around after 2Pac’s character Birdie tries his hardest to deviate the young man’s chances of winning the basketball game through humiliation and attempted murder.
Tupac’s excellent and convincing performance of the antagonizing b-ball player helped accumulate over $16 million at the box office against the film’s $6.5 million budget. Additionally, Pac contributed two tracks to the original motion picture soundtrack (“Pour a Little Liquor”, “Loyal to the Game”. These both attained rave reviews from critics and topped the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
Conclusively, this would be Shakur’s overall second-to-last film that would be released during his lifetime.
Murder Was the Case: The Movie (1995)
The final film of 2Pac released during his lifetime, and his role is a bit ironic. In the movie, 2Pac makes a cameo in the 18-minute flick as a sniper. The film essentially narrates the fictional tale of Pac’s colleague Snoop Dogg being murdered in the wee hours of the night, only to be resurrected by an evil force following a sealed deal with the devil.
Much like Above the Rim, Pac agreed to make musical contributions for Murder’s soundtrack; however, the emblem “Life’s So Hard” would be saved in the vault for two years to make entry for another one of 2Pac’s filming soundtracks. The reasoning for the “Hard” tune to be opted remains unclear to this very day.
Bullet (1996)
The first posthumous film of Tupac Shakur; this particular movie was shot two years prior to Pac’s murder and centers on the fictional narrative of two dealers. They go at each other’s neck over previous disturbances and long-held grudges that have troubled their day-to-day operations as dealers, thus in turn intensifying a brewing gang war.
The film co-stars esteemed actor Mickey Rourke and Dominican performer Manny Perez. The film hit theaters in October 1996, one month after Pac was shot to death.
Gridlock’d (1996)
Another feature film co-starring the late Shakur that was released posthumously four months after his death. The movie takes viewers on a ride with Tupac’s fictional posse of struggling heroin addicts. They try to make it big in the music world amid their troubles with their spoken word musicality.
The film did not do so hot at the box office, but Tupac was the one that received critical praise. The film’s director Vondie Curtis-Hall who took a liking to Shakur’s on-screen chemistry with lead star Tim Roth.
Gang Related (1997)
The final film that would conclude 2Pac’s short-lived filming career. The movie revolves around two corrupt detectives (one played by Pac), who are both looking to frame anyone in sight for a murder they committed upon an undercover DEA agent.
As the film progresses, the two lead characters turn on one another as their devious blame game falls through. This resulted in the immediate death of 2Pac’s character firstly and then conclusively lead portrayal James Belushi’s character.
Shooting for the film took place one month prior to Tupac’s harrowing death.

Long before his saddening passing, the legend was due to be a part of over five filming projects. These included: Menace II Society (1993), Low Down Dirty Shame (1994), Higher Learning (1995), Star Wars Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999), and Baby Boy (2001). The latter of which paid tribute to the fallen star with use of archival footage.
The Hip Hop Legends Auction, hosted by the auction house Gotta Have Rock and Roll have announced that a collection of items owned or worn by 2pac are being sold to the highest bidder. The auction house is home to a rare collection of original artifacts such as posters, jewelry, clothing, and hats.
Nearly 100 items from different Hip Hop artists from various generations and price points are on the market and ready to be sold. A small batch of items in the sale previously belonged to the “All Eyez on Me” rapper, including his infamous red bandana.
Additionally, amongst the items on sale are the M.O.B. pinky ring he wore in the “All About U” music video, a handwritten letter he wrote to his girlfriend while in prison, promotional posters, gold chains, a Versace bracelet, and his original mugshot.

Other artifacts being sold come from rappers that have transitioned such as signed items from The Notorious B.I.G., Aaliyah, Big Pun, Eazy E, DMX, and Ol’ Dirty Bastard, and a handwritten note from XXXTentacion. A high-ticket item that is expected to sell quickly is the Roc-A-Fella jacket worn and autographed by Jay-Z. The promotional piece has already earned a minimum bid of $5,000. It is estimated to reach or exceed a bid of $20,000.
Some of the highest bids on items include the aforementioned gold ring worn by 2pac at $10,000. Wednesday morning, the highest bid stands at $26,000. The Eazy-E stage also used as a DJ stand in the “We Want Eazy” had a starting bid of $5,000 that has already been reached.
Collectables from Eminem, Nicki Minaj, Beastie Boys, Snoop Dogg, Nas, Lil Wayne, Wu-Tang Clan, Cypress Hill, The Fugees, Method Man, Drake, Public Enemy, and numerous others could soon have a new home as well. The action can be viewed on the Gotta Have Rock and Roll official website.
The greatest rappers of all time can’t escape the Web3 proliferation craze of the 2020s, even in death. Previously unreleased pictures of Tupac Shakur from 1992 are being auctioned as NFTs. Moreover, the photos are of the West Coast legend’s performance at Prince’s Grand Slam West nightclub in Minneapolis. Furthermore, MakersPlace will auction off the 17 snaps starting Thursday (February 23) at 3pm EST. Titled “2Pacalypse92,” Lawrence “Loupy D” Dotson took all the shots, and he formerly served as managing editor at Kronick Magazine. Even though many might be disappointed by the digital nature of this enterprise, not all hope is lost for fans of both Tupac and physical media.
In fact, each NFT will come paired with its own original negative. To elaborate, collectors can own a piece of the genre’s performance history that exists in both digital and physical spaces. “The atmosphere was hyped,” Loupy D recalled concerning the late legend’s 1992 performance. “The crowd was loving it. He put on a show. He wasn’t just a rapper, he was a performer, he had a theater background. Tupac knew he had to engage the crowd.”
Moreover, some of these snapshots will appear in the upcoming Dear Mama docuseries from FX. The deep dive will focus, as the title implies, on the “California Love” MC, his mother, and their relationship. Afeni Shakur was a former Black Panther who influenced the rapper greatly, and passed away in 2016. “For Tupac superfans, I believe that two of the most important things in the project is the never seen before,” said series director, executive producer, and writer Allen Hughes. “But most importantly, you get to understand why he made certain decisions.”
Meanwhile, fans might get to hear more music from Tupac very soon, as his estate and other collaborators promised new music soon. Also, this isn’t the first time a valuable piece of Pac memorabilia made the news recently. The late great John Singleton owned a portrait of the MC from the film “Baby Boy” that’s valued at $75,000. While not many details were shared concerning these 1992 pics, we’re sure it’ll cost a pretty penny to commemorate his legacy. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news on Tupac Shakur and his enduring presence.
It has been decades since Tupac Shakur was killed following a drive-by. Still, fans flock to Las Vegas every year to not only enjoy Sin City but to pay respects to the fallen icon. It was in September 1996 when Shakur was with Suge Knight near the Circus Circus hotel. A vehicle pulled alongside them and opened fire. Both men were hurt in the fray, but Tupac succumbed to his injuries days later.
The controversy surrounding Tupac’s death has been an ongoing conversation in Hip Hop and law enforcement circles. It’s believed that the man responsible for killing the music icon was also a victim of violent crime. The mystery will forever haunt the culture, but regardless, fans still are drawn to the last place Shakur was before losing his life. In several posts, Boosie Badazz showed himself signing his name along with several others tagging they were there.
Additionally, Boosie shared videos of the street and a pole that was covered in tags and stickers. Most people left their name and date with a brief message about Pac’s legacy. Others just wanted to add their names to the historic site. Someone off camera referred to Boosie as “BooPac” as the rapper looked for the best spot on the light pole to leave his mark.
The Lousiana rapper has expressed his admiration for the late star on multiple occasions. Last summer, he even defended Shakur against comments made by T-Pain. At the time, the autotune hitmaker claimed that Tupac would get “ate the f*ck up lyrically” if he were alive today and competing against current artists. This didn’t sit well with Boosie, who fired off posts on Twitter.

“2Pac was a great lyricist U probably wouldn’t understand him if u never been through the struggles that this world brings” Boosie wrote at the time. “@TPAIN I disagree the lyrics n songs these days last a couple years n there gone because they don’t have meaning .The lyrics don’t touch your heart,” Boosie tweeted.
This week has been a whirlwind for Big Gipp after his remarks about Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and Tupac Shakur went viral. The Goodie Mob icon sat down with The Art of Dialogue and discussed Billboard and Vibe‘s Top 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time list. It was then that he dropped off a peculiar take about Hov, Bey, and Pac. “To me, Tupac… Only reason you inching Jay-Z past Tupac is because he got goddamn Beyoncé,” he said of Jay taking the No. 1 spot on the list. “You take Beyoncé away, he ain’t got sh*t. Bar for bar? Yeah, he might rap better than Pac, but Pac came with the heart. That’s different, it’s just different. You can never beat the heart, bro.”
Unsurprisingly, the internet lit up with reactions. People used the opportunity to poke fun at Jay-Z’s skills and marriage to Beyoncé. However, the Roc Nation mogul’s fans jumped to his defense. After a few days of watching his name go viral, Gipp dropped by B High ATL to clarify his statements. “No disrespect to that man Jay-Z, no disrespect to Beyoncé,” he began.
“I want to just explain to everybody that’s looking at the podcast right now,” Gipp continued. “Gippy knew what type of guy Pac was. Let’s talk about it. At the time that Pac walked the earth, Pac went after every girl that was somebody’s girl. Jada Pinkett, Biggie girl Faith, Aaliyah, Kidada, Lisa Left Eye—didn’t Rison tell you? ‘The limousine pulled up in front of my house, the door kicked open, and I seen it. It was Tupac, and Lisa got in the car with Tupac and drove off!’”
Gipp reiterated Shakur was “that kind of guy.” He said his point was to say the same way that Jay-Z “went after the No. 1 girl in the game,” Tupac would have done similar. “And all I’m saying is, bro, he was a phenomenon before the industry understood what he was. He was a rapper that was trained in acting. So, personally, he came with a skill that we didn’t even have in the game at that time.”
The Rap legend also mentioned that during the 1990s, the industry functioned much differently. We currently see music partnering with film and television as a norm, but Gipp recalled that all those industries were separated back then. For Tupac to amass success in all areas, albeit many of his television stints were often simply guest appearances, was something people never saw from an artist such as him. Check out more from Big Gipp’s clarification above.
During a matter of years, Tupac left behind a catalog that’s cherished and celebrated to this day. The late rapper delivered his final album, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, after he died in Las Vegas. However, throughout the years, fans received an abundance of posthumous releases, from Until The Death Of Time to Better Days. Though some of the latter releases in his career weren’t met with praise as his earlier output, there’s no doubt that everything he’s released, during his lifetime and after, had an incredible impact on hip-hop to this day.
Though we haven’t received much new music from ‘Pac’s estate in recent times, they haven’t shorted fans on celebrating massive milestones in his career. This week marked the 30th anniversary of his second studio album,Strictly For My N.*.*.*.A.Z. The follow-up to 2Pacalypse Now further carved out his voice in rap, politically, socially, and musically. The project boasts 16 songs in total with appearances from Ice-T, Ice Cube, Treach, Digital Underground. It remains one of the most celebrated album in ‘Pac’s catalog, especially since it produced singles like “I Get Around” and “Keep Ya Head Up.”
What Was Added To The Expanded Edition Of Tupac’s Second Studio Album?
As the 30th anniversary arrived on Feb. 16th, his estate unloaded the official expanded version of the project. The album contains the original sixteen songs, along with six additional records, including four remixes. Madukey shares his remix of “Keep Ya Head Up” while a “New York Stretch” remix of “Holler If You Hear Me” shows up on the tracklist, as well. Additionally, you’ll find a remix of “I Get Around” and Vibe Tribe’s flip of “Papa’z Song.”
The project also contains the underrated single, “Flex” alongside the Outlawz, which dropped in 1993. Then, there’s the inclusion of Heavy D’s “Let’s Get it On,” which is among the rare times that Tupac and Biggie both appeared on the same song together. The re-release of Strictly For My N.*.*.*.A.Z is a firm remind of why ‘Pac stood as one of the greatest rappers of all time. Press play on the project above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.
Jonah Hill and Eddie Murphy team up for You People, but in a scene that didn’t make the film’s final cut, more legends find their way into the movie. Specifically, a number of hip-hop icons, when Hill’s character makes his pick for the top five rappers ever and gets roasted for including Eminem.
In the clip, Ezra (Hill’s character) and Mo (played by Sam Jay) are hosting an episode of their The Mo & E-Z Show podcast when the topic of their top five rappers comes up. Ezra makes his picks: “1. Jay-Z, 2. Biggie, 3. 2Pac, 4. Nas, and 5. Eminem.”
Mo responds, “That’s in order? — Eminem though?” Ezra replies, “Why do I have to keep defending Shady? I mean, his sole purpose is to be on other people’s tracks and murder them. I mean, ‘Renegade?’ ‘Dead Wrong,’” he says in reference to tracks by Jay-Z and The Notorious B.I.G.
Mo then says, “Dog, he’s like, I don’t know the Larry Bird of rap, you know what I mean? He’s not great: He’s just great because he’s a white man in a Black man’s game.” Ezra retorts, “That is so stupid. That might be the dumbest sh*t you’ve ever said to me.”
U probably wouldn’t understand him if u never been through the struggles that this world brings
the lyrics n songs these days last a couple years n there gone because they don’t have meaning .The lyrics don’t touch your heart,” Boosie tweeted.
