Product Description

Much has been written and filmed concerning the tragic and violent death of one of hip-hop's most influential artists, Tupac Shakur. The rapper-actor, who proclaimed himself a "thug," had a visceral urgency and passion in his talent which attracted millions of fans. THUG ANGEL stands out among the numerous documentaries about Tupac because of its inclusion of previously unseen footage including that of Tupac at age 17. Directed by the Oscar-nominated Peter Spirer, the film includes long interviews with friends and colleagues including Snoop Doggy Dogg and Suge Knight.

Customer Reviews

a good, interesting watch
as my boyfriend is a massive fan of tupac's, i of course get roped into listening to his music all of the time. the dvd didnt appeal to me at first as i am not a 'massive' 2pac fan, but once i started watching the 'documentary' of his life i definately got into it and thought it was very interesting. the film shows his background and how he has come to be one of the most famous rap artists of all time. it shows his highs and lows, and how he went from being a young and fresh 17 year old to become a 'thug'. a very interesting watch even if you're not an avid tupac fan. x

An excellent true depiction of pac
The media would have us believe that 2pac was a hateful thug who didn't have any feelings or emotions, however thug angel looks beyond the negative media attitude towards pac, and shows that he was a caring generous man who was frustrated and felt that black america was neglected by the white and even black elite in american politics. The movie by pacs close friends is a must see as it shows the rapper, poet and movie star as he really was, a young afro american from a poverty stricken community who made a life for himself which got too big too fast. A must see for all pac fans and those who are just curious about the media hype which surrounded the man.

One Of The Best Pac Dvds
I wasn't sure what to expect when i received this Collector's Edition but boy is it completely worth every penny. 2 dvds with so many extras, you won't have time to watch it all straight away and you also receive the best seller book " Holler if you Hear Me " AND a bonus cd with plenty of tributes from the people who knew Pac best. This is a must for all 2Pac fans, which contains interviews from 2Pac himself, E.D.I ,Shock G, Dr. Mutulu Shakur, Big Syke and Treach from Naughty By Nature just to name a few.
Trust me, you will not regret buyng this !!
