  • id rather have him play as 2pac then someone who looks like pac, but SUCKS at acting.

  • i dont really see him as tupac, he could play will smith in the future tho haha

  • papa doc lol

  • WHY IS EVERYBODY HATTING ON MACKIE!? I guess cuz they tought Denzel gonna play Pac or something,

  • I wish tupac fans would wise up about what acting is all about-ITS ACTING. He cant BE pac because he's NOT PAC, pac is dead and he's not coming back; however an actor can capture the TRUTH and ESSENCE of the character, NOT IMPERSONATING which is what pac fans want and its two different things. Mackie did what was directed to do just like any actor who plays him with TRUTH not MIMICKING

  • Notorious is a movie about Biggie, offcourse it's gonna be very subjective (and elusive) when it comes to Pac...

  • he probably just played the role as directed

    otherwise mackie is a decent actor

  • @AV7482 I agree. There wasn't much scope for the true essence of Pac to come out, even Denzel would have had a tough time pulling it off.

    You would need a 3-hour movie to really capture Tupac

  • anthony ur gay kid fo real... fk u and yo mama..tupac would fck u up

  • Actually,AActing by ANthony wasnt bad at all,but cmon,who can be like tupac,even in movie NOBODY.

  • It was from B.I.Gs point of view, Pacs so yall need to shut up

  • man his role as 2pac disappointed me I aint gonna lie,it was disappointing,I covered my eyes the whole time he was TRYING to ACT like pac.Its one thing to play biggie,any dark fat dude cud have did it (Im not tryin 2 b harsh but its just the truth)but PAC?who?NOBODY I'VE SEEN & DIS GUY HERE DID A HORRIBLE JOB.I mean after seeing 2pacs interviews & stuff ur gonna have to come STRONGER & BETTER than that.He did a good job at making 2pac look HORRIBLE,plz NEVER make a 2pac movie,just let him R.I.P

  • I like Ant, but he souldn't have played PAC. They sould've hired a rapper to do his role, just like they did biggie's. And besides, The biggie movie is historically inaccurate. So when they make the Pac movie, they sould really hire a RAPPER, and make it historically accurate, and not over dramatize.

  • @shahryarization I disagree, Tupac was more than just a mere RAPPER...I think Anthony did just fine...and the guy that played Biggie isn't a real rapper...

  • @STARSHIPBLU3 The guy who played biggie IS a rapper. His stage name is Gravy, he was featured in one of pac's songs on his latest album, Pac's Life (song: "Untouchable").

  • I am glad they going to make a tupac movie i liked notorious but they made tupac look bad in it but i can understand that because it was about biggies life not tupacs there was just bits of tupac which made him look like a bad guy to people who have never really known about tupac or biggie which was abit shit! but hopefully when this movie comes out it shall show tupac helping biggie become a better rapper when he said to change his style and show how amazing he was MAKAVELI THE DON!!

  • anthony mackie was Papa Doc on Eminem's movie 8 mile! he's not good to be 2pac why dont they call the own 2pac O_o?

  • Comment removed

  • I think no one can really do 2pac in acting, 2pac was the only one able of that, but this dude really does catch the energy and the spirit of pac, i think he did a good job, but we all have to understand that this is a biggy tribut movie , we all need that in mind, the pac bits of the movie was point placed to capture certain things, the main picture is BIG in this movie.

  • he did a better job as poppa doc

  • GOD I HATE HOW THAT MOVIE MADE TUPAC LOOK SO STUPID THUMBS DOWN ON THE NOTORIOUS MOVIE

  • Tupac's movie is gonna be better bcuz he went thru a lot more things in his career...He lived a movie

  • Check out Actor Kenneth McDonald - Search "2Pac Biopic Audition - Starring Kenneth McDonald - The Finale" - A lot of hard work went into it. I hope you enjoy!!

  • he did the best anyone could have at first when i saw the movie i was like dis aint pac but now hearing how he tried to give a hard effort to do it rite i respect the effort he put into the part

  • First all fuck your bitch, how do he start it all by fucking your girlfriend? *LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL*

  • if big try kill him I think not but if so he is the biggest loser of all time I like big and pac but pac is not done found it virtually

  • they should of used tha realest he is the best 2pac impersonator

  • tpuac wasent realli brought out in the film ...

  • I love 2pac!

  • I got a cousin that doesn't like Anthony Mackie becuz he played Papa Doc in 8-mile... Wutta woozer

  • It was intentionally done that way.

    Puffy was a producer in this movie.

    They tried to protray him as uncivilized, unmannered stupid ahole.

    They chiaved it. I think that Anthony has talent, but the way they depicted 2pac in Notorious was a true shame and waste of talent.

    Such a shame.

  • seriously disgrace... for him to play the role of pac,,, should go back to 8 miles dumb cunt director wat the fuk he was thinkin...

  • A biopic on Tupac is currently in the works and Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, Brooklyn's Finest) has signed on to direct it. I have made a fictional film cover of the upcoming biopic. It serves as a casting suggestion. I think it is important that an actor in a biopic looks a lot like the person he plays. If that is not the case, I find it disturbing.

  • eminem shoot you palomo

  • ANthony Mackie is a great actor and who else would have been better and as for the scenes of him in the movie well um bad boy made the movie and depicted pac as very paranoid and angry so everybody needs to chill

  • he sucked as 2Pac, but nobody can be him. So i think Anthony Mackie tried, but just didn't succeed. And i'm curious if he's gonna play 2Pac in his biopic also.

  • ANTHONY MACKIE as 2pac!!? shit why not Jackie Chan? or Jim Carey?

  • @Ironandtheshizzelz OR EMINEM? XD

  • I read antoine fuqua(directed "Training Day") will be doing a biopic on Tupac. Hopefully it will be good, but its gonna be really hard for Antoine to find somebody to play Tupac. I don't know if it's even possible someone could play him.

  • @Cello21777 their r sum ppl on utube that look & sound jus like pac yet they pick this guy to play pac

  • @Exaust17 dang then antoine needs to come on youtube! lol

  • @Cello21777 lol

  • I Dont Really Dont Care About Who Sold More Albums

    I Just Listen To Music And See Who Is Better

  • i think hes nothing at all, boring, nothing personally i just think he sucked as 2pac

  • when ...i cant wait for the movie :D 2pac 4 life

  • Orientalo - "Hanau" Wir sind da!

    __

    watch?v=Vd3Ue9ML3Vg

  • he suked

    but he wasnt dat bad

    it is true wat he said

    it wasnt pac's movie so he couldnt

    make seem like it was all about pac

  • he looked like a fag he was nothing like tupac everything he said sounded nothing like tupac would of said.. an he looks more like nas.

  • pac is god............

  • Comment removed

  • he is a motherfucker

  • Anthony Mackie is a mother fucker. DIE SLOW mother fucker. fuck b.i.g. fuck everybody. 2PAC IS THE BEST OF THE FUCKING WORLD

  • @ 1:25 he said, ' we got war on jail...? hehe someone really pays to the chracter they play

  • He was a fucking piece of shit in dat movie! he fuckinng sukked!!

  • man 2pac was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy harder than that bullshit man!!

  • ANTHONY MACKIE is a bitch in the movie...thats not pac and im very disapointed how tupac was interprated

  • True, that was a horrible portrail of Pac, it looked like someone from MAD tv spoofing him and making fun of how he acts, it's a big world they couldn't find a better Pac? Really?

  • @SCHMITTA1582 Hello he's an Actor..he's not Pac..the idea was to captivate the energy of the guy..which I felt he did..Pac appeared at times rawkus in hs Life..he played just the energy..which in retrospect Pac had bundles of..so in other words I disagree with you..Nice Day :-)

  • @SCHMITTA1582 That wasn't Anthony Mackie's fault...it was coming from Biggie's ppl prospective of Tupac and the whole situation...thats why it may have came off a little bitch-ish...of course they gone make it seem that way...

  • @SCHMITTA1582 did you know tupac no you didn't so how do you know he was not really a bitch

  • @SCHMITTA1582 Tupac was a fag pretending to be a hardcore "G".. he was a homosexual actor. He was a great actor, he made you all believe he wasn't a fairy.. youtube ( dot com ) /watch?v=jV3xWfRWe3o

  • @mobspeak

    lol haters gonna hate

  • @sayanroy36 and fags are fags.. keep it real brozella

  • @mobspeak sorry brah but if all pac fans were fags, there wont be too many straight people left. so seems like you gotta check yourself

  • @sayanroy36 -.- "check yourself" how original, besides you need to learn how to read.. I was talking about Pac not his dumb ass fans.

  • @mobspeak

    calling someone fag in youtube....fucking original huh?? nice job being a hypocrite

  • @sayanroy36 I wasn't calling anyone on youtube a fag, you monkey, tupac doesnt have an account here, as far as I know he is dead, and so is your brain.

  • @mobspeak

    'fags are fags" thats what you said. doesnt matter if the person doesnt have an account or is dead. only makes you an even bigger douche since you'r insulting a dead person who you didnt even know.

    btw, the brain dead line...cliche, and you were talking about originality!and monkey insult? what is this elementary school?

  • @mobspeak retard how is 2pac cigarette?

  • looks like to me that he's not really down with pac, like 4REAL!

    i aint sayin i think he has anything against him, but i dont think he love pac as much as many of his fans do.

  • nice guy

  • come on guys, he aint that bad. the main point is, pac is untouchable, unreachable. you can only lose if you try to be pac cause pac was the realest..

  • damn i loved begining :D XD

  • Pac wouldn't be happy about it, He played pac like a punk.

    2Pac was a Man!

    Why would puffy want someone to play pac like a Man?

  • honestly if u are ever going to make tupac movie u need someone to sound like tupac not just some skinny nigga on broadway who happens to look like pac when you shave his head bold, glad i didn't pay to go c the movie or pay to hire it out from the vid shop, u can't just blame the actors for a shit job on the movie point yo fingers at the directors to

  • wtf at 1:28 he says we got a war in jail so the police can bother me ....its we got a war on drugs ....right ..

  • Yooooo, i was looking at anthony mack in this interview, and i dont mean no offense to him, or to pac, but, looking at Mack closely, if they ever make a movie about the rap group Onyx, wouldnt he be perfect as sticky fingaz? i hope some1 on youtube posts an answer to my comment!

  • lol this is late as hell but yea he does kinda look moe like sticky fingaz

  • when is der gonna be a 2pac movie huh?? when??? he was as good probably even better than biggie no offence at all

  • Afeni's working on it but the deal feel thru due to conflicts with the producers.

    You KNOW there will definitely be one.

    & I will be there 1st day it comes out!

  • @helpoj Technically there has been. only but it's from his own experiences and interviews. MTV and Afeni Shakur (His mom) Did it back in 2003 because of 7 years after his death "Ressurection". So the "movie" is called Resurrection. All him, All his voice, All interviews and everything.

  • @nigerianangel3 thx :)

  • @helpoj there not gunna wanna no whyy cuz he spoke out against illuminati shit in his music and illuminati controls everything so they wont

  • @helpoj look man if there was a 2pac movie that shit would probably be illegal, the goverment do NOT want to be reminded of him. he was a threat to them so if they did make the movie, it wouldnt be about his REAL life and show people what REALLY happened

  • @coreon7 absolte rubbish coz if that was da case notorios wouldnt have came out since one of the characters in the movie is 2pac

  • @helpoj how is that rubbish, do your research about 2pac and listen to his songs, i didnt hear killuminati once in the biggie movie, what does that tell you?

  • @coreon7 if that was da case y wud they bring out an biography on pac

    which includes everything from the start of his life to his death. it also includes the killuminati theory.and ive heard all of his songs including his unreleased some of em mention illuminati making a movie wouldnt be a situation for the government. if the government dont want to be reminded of him then y dont they destriy his songs and everything that reminds us of him

  • @helpoj tupac ressurection

  • @helpoj They are actually in casting for the film right now.

  • @evxdaddy bulllshit lol

  • @helpoj I swear no lie I read it on my facebook page LoL 2Pac page said it. LoL

  • @helpoj Don't need a 2pac movie....we already have one...2pac ressurrection....a movie using nothin' but real footage....it's only suitable for the realest rapper in the game....

  • @micdevious youtube search: ACE-KOON FULL "TUPAC" BIOPIC AUDITION- HE'S THE ONE!

  • @micdevious exactly!2pac resurrection was ENOUGH.

  • @helpoj Theres an upcoming 2pac biopic but they are still looking for a guy to play Tupac

  • @helpoj he was waaaaay better than biggie. listen to his fucking songs! biggie was good though

  • On 1:40 is that Sting?

  • why yes i believe so bro

  • yep. sting, madonna and.....somebody else (dunno).

  • i think if that film wasnt in puffys hands they wouldnt have made anthony mackie portray pac like a jackass. HE did okay, the film itself was shit-ish. and biggie shoulda looked a little more menacing instead of lookin like a happy fat kid.

  • I hate how in the movie when biggie see pac at the club and some guy comes and talks to them with a camera and anthony mackie says "hey im tupac" it was so stupid

  • they had him play tupac incorrectly and that's not his fault. from a realism point of view the film was a load of shit.

  • pause at 2:03 it lookks alil likke pac

  • he did a decent job but the way they had him play pac was all wrong. They made it look like it was pacs fault him and biggie got in a fight with eachother but no that was deffinetly bigs fault.

  • he played it well

  • hahahhahahhahah hurensohn fuck youtube

  • that nigger looks nothing like 2pac

  • comeon he's probably the closest ur gonna get.

  • lol at the end he wanted to say "eat a dick"

  • i heard tupac had a son , i hope its true

  • sorry. he did'nt.. i heard he did adopted a child before he died. im not sure

  • they said he cant have any kids because he smoked to much weed

  • thats what they say , how do you know thats true , somebody should interview afeni shakur and ask her about those kind of thing only she know, while shes still alve

  • i was reading that at a fansite once but i dont know if its true either

    but yea they should to that interview

  • next thing that should happen is an interview with afeni about if pac had any kids

  • Tupac wanted to have children, but unfortunately he did not have any children. If he had a son he wanted to name him Michelangelo and if he had a daughter he wanted to name her Sta

  • why do you guys put a thumb down ??

  • I think Mackie did a great job playing Tupac. If there is ever going to be another film about Tupac I think they should still find an unknown actor to play him.

  • he tried. but it was'nt good enough. he did ok.

  • 2pac shakeeezeeeee fuck this fool who better than pac

  • yall crazzy as hell if anthony mackie cant act like a gangsta yall niggas must havent seen sucker free city when u watch dat den come talk shit

  • Hes intelligent....good actor....nice guy.....BUT NO TUPAC SHAKUR!. I PERSONALLY CUD HAVE FOUND BETTA PACS ON SUNSET BLVD. ON ANY SATURDAY NITE. WACK PERFORMANCE.

  • this muthaphukka did awful[real talk]

    he didn't act like pac at all[real talk]

  • but honestly, it would be kinda hard to play pac, cuz hes got a talent that cant nobody really duplicate and hes too orginal so dat would be hard seein sumbody play sumone thats unique in his own way

  • he did a terrible job of acting like pac.. no way close at all.. the movie was just as bad

  • He made tupac look as a clown :s in the movie. Its was so deseapointet to see that..

  • he did what he could. it just that, the true fans of pac, could not picture that nigga actin like pac.

  • he did good

  • Mackie is an uncle tom who could never protray a real gansta no matter how good of an actor he is.

  • Horrible representation of Pac...it was decent until the Quad City Shooting scene.

  • How duz this niqqa lewk n-e thing like

    Pac.?

    wutta shame tho. fo real

  • this du' was wack as fucc

  • Comment removed

  • im sorry but this nigga sucked

  • these kids need to grow up,... of course no one will ever replace or even look like Pac,.. we can only have an actor try to imitate Pac.

  • he fucked up tupac

  • omg my name is anthony

  • ye but he played his charecter like shit so fuck you

  • ay shut the fuck up fraztle75 no he didnt play it lyk shyt ya hatin ass he adores tupac n yu need to giv him respect to ppl who love tupac no is gonna play da part perfect because they r not pac soo you cant expect that plus its bigges movie not his

  • ur rught .. there r alot of kids here on youtube.. they dont even know shit about the rap game .. much love and respect to the greatest makaveli the don

  • lol he was in 8 mile

  • hahah thiz foo aint pac nada like pac homie fukin fake

  • This guys a bich for even agreeing to portray Tupac with such a biased script (written by Diddy)

  • THEN FUCK DIDDY TOO. HAHAHA!

  • he was jew????

  • This guy portrays pac so badly. not enough anger and loudness. they did it on purpose though.

    2pac was never a criminal (apart when he was young he dealt a bit). he was an artist who put himself in different people shoes and helped you see the world from their perspective so u could understand theyre hate, anti establishmentism and criminalty. He was also a teacher to these 'outcasts' of society. people really dont understand HOW amazing he was. RIP

  • was this guy on 8mile?

  • yea man papa doc lol

  • 1Nation

  • Everything was good up until the end of the interview.

    I had respect for this guy, but fuckin get off your high horse with that " I did them a service" shit. Service my ass motherfucker. You did a "decent" job in the movie and thats about it.

    this motherfucker can shove it.

  • yeah fuck this faker

  • Who Said That Biggie Better Than Pac? Biggie Learned From 2pac,2pac The Greatest Rapper And He Sold More Albums Than All The Rappers In The World,So Y Biggie Better,(RIP 2pac)

  • Tupac was a handsome mother fucker; who's this clown? lol

  • yeah very a good movie well done

    im from portugal and here tupac for us is a god every one likes tupac here

    and this antony doing is person in this movie show is respectg yeah holla if your hear me

  • this guy is a fucking insult to 2pac

  • he's an actor

  • personally i don't think the needed to show pac in the movie. ithink it was more disrespect then anything eals

  • its not disrespect

    sure tupac and biggie had alot of beef when tupac died but tupac was a big part of biggie's life as a friend and enemy.

    i think that there beef was nuthin and that in tupacs death, biggie realised that it was nuthin

    R.I.P Pac and Biggie

  • " I feel that i did pac and his family a service "

    I feel like he was mocking him...

    While he was singing along to hit em up , and changes...

  • Yea that role would have been so for Anthony Mackie to play, I have seen it yet tho. Plus it is a Biggie movie for Biggie fans so its pretty obvious that they arent going to make Pac shine. Dont worry ill boo in those parts when I go see it lol.

  • you made tupac look like a criminal. i hope you die if you had any respect for tupac or his family you would refuse to do the part due to how it protrays him you fucker .....god i cant believe you said that you did them a service i hope u mistakenly get shot

  • dude you think 2pac was a angel when he was around he even admite him self he wasnt perfect he's a human like everyone else, yes he made brenda had a babie and keep your head up which showed he cared and had a heart but he also made the song Fuck The world 2 and Hit Em Up saying he fucked biggie's wife which clearly he didnt he said it 2 spark the war between him and biggie so during that time he was kinda of acting like a criminal in some ways but he was still a great artists non the less.

  • 2pac was never a criminal (apart when he was young he dealt a bit). he was an artist who put himself in different people shoes and helped you see the world from their perspective so u could understand theyre hate, anti establishmentism and criminalty.

  • hes just weak

  • The movie industry is only interested in milking these characters for what they're worth. The portrayal of factual events is irrelevant, because they're only interested in drawing crowds and selling tickets. BIG and PAC only exist to us as legends now, therefore, their stories are exposed for anyone to manipulate or reenact into their own art. Plagiarism if you ask me!

  • was he serious wen he said "i did pac and his family a service"????

  • anthony mackie played tupac very well in my opinion, he had the hand gestures down, the way he bopped wen he walked, his facial expressions. I dont know what you ppl are talking about saying he sucked but if its coz you think he portrayed tupac wrong... well it's a movie about biggie, not tupac, so dont be expecting too much light placed on him.

  • Yeah.. I agree with you. Some of these kids don't even know what their talking about. I think anthony did a good job on his role. Nobody can play pac really, but anthony had to do what he had too.

  • are u fukin kiddin me.. this was disrespectful to pac and his family, and thta guy who played biggie was shit 2. i think they could hve got gorilla blac to play biggie b/c he sounds jus lik him . For tupac they could got tyress or someone
