In the $3 billion industry of hip-hop music, no one has touched as many lives with a microphone as Tupac Shakur. In this never-before-seen footage, see Tupac at seventeen, a young man at the edge of his destiny, speaking out about injustice on the streets of Oakland. See him at the brink of his stardom, kickin' freestyles with Treach, Biggie and Grand Puba. See him at the shooting range, at home, at the highs and lows of his career, as a man constantly plagued by and provoking the media. See Tupac as never seen before, as the people closest to him knew him. See him as Thug Angel. Directed by Academy Award nominee Peter Spirer (Rhyme and Reason), Thug Angel takes you beyond the drama of Tupac's notoriety in the press through all-new interviews with friends, collaborators and scholars as they look back on Tupac and define his legacy today. 92 minutes.

2Pac the Prophet, The Father, and the Spirit of Hip-Hop
As to say this, I can't get my eyes on Tupac. 'Cuz he had a lot going on in his life, you know what I'm mean. You see Tupac will be telling a lot of stories of his past when he begin writing poetry at a early age, learn to act, and how to be a superstar in the rap business. Yeah Tupac been gone for 7 or 8 years now, but in 10 years he'll be remember 'cuz he modered a generation for the hip-hop community. I also a lot of people from that culture to Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, JFK, RFK, and on and on.Now a lot of people are still talking about him and how he became a part of our culture. That's why he lived his life the way he live b/c of the fight with Biggie, the East Coast/West Coast rap war, how he got arrested, been in jail all of his life, need I say more?Nobody even care on how he lived or how he died. He help changed that by putting it into his lyrics. The reason why I love him the most is there's nobody like him like Jada Pinkett Smith "There's nobody, nobody like that man. I don't care how many records you sell. I don't care how popular you are..."You know Tupac lives on and he'll always will be to the fullest.For those of ya'll are missing out a lot of good information about this icon, I urge you to check him out. He's one of the greats that put it on since Martin Luther King and Malcolm X we learned back in the day.

everybody should see this!
if u would look at me, u probably wouldn't suspect i would even care about 2pac or any form of hip-hop. when ever i cross people of those sterotypes, i show off my knkowledge. people consider me a "punk". i listen to punk and ska music, but i also listen to hip-hop. and i mean "real" hip-hop not the "bling-bling" rap on mtv (and i am not dissing on this form of rap i am just saying that i dont always prefer it and it has brainwashed teeny-bopper kids at my school that this is the only kind of rap out there and this is only what what rap/hip-hop is about). and this is what i am saying: anyone can listen to what ever they hell please. tupac amaru shakur is not only one of my fav rappers hes one of my fav poets, activists, actors, and individuals. he has had a great impact on my life. i believe everyone should listen to his messages and look at his life. and this film totally depicts that. i love this. i totally recommend this to everyone and i am going to show this to my "anti-2pac" friends that are closed-minded and ignorant how friggin awesome he was (and is). buy this if youre a fan of his music or movement or even if youve never heard of tupac. peace

the best hip-hop DVD available
I am not dissapointed with this DVD by any stretch of the imagination. Any ammount of money is worth this DVD and a measily 20 or so dollars is not setting any one with the internet back in theri financial standings. This DVD had ful length interviews, three of which are of tupac and which go for approx 25 mins each. The footage inbetwee the feature is mostly unseen and of good quality. Never have i seen such an accurate portrayal of this man and you can be sure that all of tupacs loved ones support this DVD which is what i like about it most. Alot of people show alot of love for this man and really get you inside the head of tupac himself, his critics ... and the people who had to live through his demise. Watching this film really allows you to personally pay tribute to the realist soldier that ever lived. if u loved him then it can be disturbing to watch, but he deserves to have all those who did and do experience the pain in order to experience the story ("and thats real")...

Life of an Outlaw
Thug Angel was perhaps one of the greater documentarys on 2pacs life I've seen. It is definetly not a waste of money at all. From unseen interviews with Shakur himself (which other DVDs lack) to interviews with Big Syke, Shock G, Mac Mall, Storm, Edi Amin, Johnny J, Kidada, Quincy Jones, and so on. This DVD focuses more on the life on 2pac Shakur rather than just the death of this great man.There are some misinterpretations in this DVD, as some of 2pacs comments come out as seeming racist and we all know he was not. Everybodies in the struggle whether black or white and he's said this many times its unfortunate they didn't include him saying that in the DVD because some parts could really aggrivate some fans.Although, I couldn't have asked for anything more in a DVD, except maybe some Audio made by Pac which is unfortunately missing. However over all this DVD is worth picking up.Thanks to QD3 and everyone involved for putting this together for us, the fans.

You think you know but you have no idea
Wow! I bought this after seeing a clip of it once. A total insight into the life of Tupac. Forget EVERYTHING the media had told you you know about him.....(or anyone else for that matter)you but you will discover a person who did more for others than even himself. Dreams and the strenghth knowledge courage and love to acheive them. But who cant escape reality.I cant really put in words if you watch it you will treasure this dvd as it will be more than you could ever imagine. An inspiration a real man.Definately one to buy and keep
